  • Beautiful song! The 80's will never be duplicated ever! I want to go back there so bad! Turn the clock back!?

  • It's hard to believe this song is 26 years old. Still sounds good today.

  • VTY, 1986; and a complete triumph for the Human League. Gorgeous video.

  • This song is deep. It speaks for so many.

  • @LMmccallL57 Agree!

  • 68 dislikes?fawkers lol...the 80's was the SHYTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  • I still can't get over the thought that Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam wrote and produced this..almost as shocking as Steven Spielberg directing 84' "color purple"..the style is uncanny.

  • @THYCHANIE that news.. just freaked me out lol

  • Absolutely without a doubt, this is one of the best 80's songs ever!!!!!

  • What a great time to have grown up in. I really miss those days.

  • Whoever does not like this song they are not human.

  • I hope they are glad that they decided to go ahead and make this song. Need new video channels. Jam

  • I so had a crush on him

  • We uploaded a cover tribute to Human League.....Being Boiled.. the early version. One of the best ones the band did. Check it out here at RiotinlondonW1 channel on Youtube

  • ca someone tell who was the artist with wide shoulders? somehow human league's male singer reminds me of him

  • Damn I want the 80's back......

  • this was the number 1 tune on the day I was born!

  • 1986 VTY, and a truimph for the Human League. A memorable video and song.

  • All of us are human

  • this song is about how he cheated on her only to find she was only human too great song where have all the days gone please take me back to the 80.s beautifull girls wow

  • I'm only watching this video because it was the #1 song on the day I was born. November 20, 1986. Kind of disappointed.

  • @bnm5015 me too

  • brill song full of emotion so sad omg we all kno what theyre talking about wonderful 80s

  • Look at that girls, lok at her face, they sing with their haert, a lot of pashion and sadness, they don't need their boobs & ass to show the artists they are, today the singers need that and a 99/100 are boobs & ass in plastic cirgury any class withe what women, the singer is the same a lot of emotion and wonderfull voice, today they needs a lot of music instruments to cover their voice when you can call that voices !!! the world is modern for things but Natural has sleeped away, so sad !!!

  • one of the greatest slow pop songs of the 80s.

    simply amazing <3

  • I should not have to see "Human Centipede" when I want to see this band.

  • man this white boys had soul

  • One of the great videos from the early VH1 days -- you know, when they played HOURS of these for us ?? It's a tale of great pain, told in a (wet, but) beautiful way. LOVE IT !!!

  • All yoou need to do to "unglue" from FB and Twitter is to unglue. Believe me - it's better that way. Use it occasionally. This is such a nice song to start listening to music and browsing around rather than just sticking to just one site. ;) Thank you for posting it, and thank you for not screwing it up with limiters and general ignorance about audio processing! :) Cheers!

  • fantastico flash back ..... video e arrangiamenti sofisticati ... indimenticabile !

  • A beautiful and iconic track from the best decade of music.

  • Why can't the mainstream pop music sound like this now??!!

  • This song came out when I was a teenager. Loved it back then and still love it now. Phil and Joanne were HOTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG. ITS BEEN A FAVORITE OF MINE SINCE I WAS A KID

  • For me this is one of the defining songs of the late 80's. Back before alternative radio, when rock stations like 97.1 The Eagle out of Dallas would play a good mix of songs.In a car, dusk Dallas skyline is when this song is best served.

  • la mejor música: LOS 80!!!

  • @luedcas Tienes toda la razón, en los 80´S hubo de todo: pop, metal, baladas, etc.

  • 65 people are not human

  • @Necroman666

    66, LOL.

  • I make mistakes, mistake that listen to this song 10 times/day...

  • amazing

  • the 65 person who disliked this, is a justin bieber fan

  • HL-IOH!

  • 80's is the best music i love most.....

  • In the 80's even emos were better than today!

  • Hideous!

  • eso me gusta la buena musica

  • Inspiring song! :)

  • This song is one of human leagues best and i agree the early eighties were the best.

  • 80'S WERE THE SHIZZ

  • Ahh...senior year in high school and that hot girlfriend I had..and of course this song...peopel who didn't grow up in the 80's ..I feel sorry for you.

  • i am a latin guy ,and in my country this song was one of ten best ,at that time,,there is not another decade like 80's !!!!!!!!!

  • In regards to The Human League, it's tunes like this that pprove they weren't One Hit Wonders; They were a legitimate band from The UK. This ballad was heartfelt, and should NEVER be regarded as sappy. Try to believe that, folks.

  • Such a fabulous song from the 80s!! Lord, take me back to the good ole days!!

  • the 80's is calling and it wants its turn again

  • @tmaq97 The 80's called and said they want their MTV back as well.

  • @tmaq97 and it shall have it's turn again...every decade gets recycled once or twice. Just like the 50's was cool in the 80's, then the 70's and late 60's showed up in the 90's...next the 80's will come back in the new Millenium....

  • @tmaq97 Amen to that ... it would be a blessing from God to have this kind of music come back !

  • Ah those great days when fashion was cool and the ladies looked so elegant and classy

  • @metroretrokicks  yes they did , nice and natural looking.

  • Love this song from the 80's.....I remember dancing it in our Junior Senior Prom Night.....

  • que dó... que dó...que dó... chega doer o coração ouvir essas musicas!

  • my theme song

  • One of the best songs that came from the 80s. I still have the 45. Blessings.

  • amo amo adoro esta cancion, soy latino, no soy gringo pero amo demasiado la balada americana, benditos sean los que tienen mas de 40 años y pudieron gozar la decada hermosa de los 80's a su plenitud, por baladas como esta aprendi a amar a los 80's y la balada americana, larga vida a todos los interpretes de la balada !!!!!!

  • what is thi

  • Timeless!!!!!!!!

  • Best song ever made!

  • 2012 YEAR OF THE 80'S

  • Well, actually the 80's were an awesome time for all of us. There's no correlative in the decades after...

  • Khyrid I couldn't agree more.we should appreciate the now,of course we will remember and love the past,but soon we will say the same in sooner years

  • 80's were the Best

  • All this talk about how great the 80s were, you can find the same talk on any recent decade. if this were a pearl jam video or some euro dance people would be talking about how great the 90s were. The truth is we never appreciate the time we currently live in. Everything that was wonderful about the past is happening right now in another way. It's just a state of mind. The older a person gets the more they yearn for the past.

  • @Khyrid This is well said and absolutely true. I was born in 1960 and lived through the timeline(s) ... do the math! You think the 80's were great? You should have seen the 60's... and only Baby Boomers like like me, and quite possibly Khydrid, will ever know, it's a recall of memory lane that is a part of us and will live forever...Khyrid is right: "We never appreciate the time we are in." And... that is the way it's supposed to be...

  • @Khyrid I agree very strongly with your final sentence, however, with the music I think there is more to it than just the relativity of a decade with your teens. I believe that the advent of the synthesiser and its massive uptake in the 80's has greatly influenced the music that followed it. It allowed very melodic strings and horns arrangements into songs that would have previously been cost prohibitive. Young people of today are listening to songs like this and preferring it to todays music.

  • @Khyrid Deep...

  • @Khyrid You are right! I guess that every generation will call their decade the best, simply because they made themselves and shaped their personality while hearing this music. So it brings you back to those incredible youth years.

    It's great to have the chance of hear this songs again.

  • Sounds to me like this couple has commitment and trust issues... A good song about true to life issues...The Human League is cool!! :D

  • Sit down baby i want you to listen to this .....first.

  • I grew up in a very bad neighborhood. East Los Angeles (gang land). Even I love and this song. Come on man. How can anyone dislike this song?

  • I'm only Human! Human makes mistake...

  • an era where people weren't glued to Facebook and Twitter. I wish I could go back!!

  • @sixstoriesfall so sticking to your thoughts aswell as to the time machine comment :))) we can only get drunk and remember times..that i'd only wish to remember cuz iam only 24 :(

  • @outrider18 I'm 32, wish I was 24.

  • @sixstoriesfall Amen to that, in GOD we trust!

  • @sixstoriesfall

    And a time of real stereo systems.

  • @sixstoriesfall yeah and not a bunch of zombies walking the streets texting...

  • @sixstoriesfall - you don't have to go where the the twitter and fb people go.

    

  • such a special era in many aspects,music only being one of which.

  • to my ex girlfriend Nancy Reyes, I made my mistakes I'm only human....

  • I make mistakes today, i`m a human. My girlfriend had forgive me !

  • I was born in 1987, one year after this song was released. I prefer this to Rihanna, who's currently plastered all in the background on the page of this video. This is music.

  • Good songs are timeless!! <3

  • One of the greatest songs in 80's. Very cool!!!!!!

  • My eyes begin to shed tears and an relentless pain inside of me strikes me as if it was to tell me what a damn fool I am in making such idiot choices & decisions in my futile life, that the one person I could have had as my soulmate, I passed her up, stupidly thinking it would be best for her & noble to do so, resulting in a unending passage of regret, how important it would be for us to be together, yet, I choose to be an idiot. To err is to be human, for me, is to be at a loss, for life.

  • Ahhhh back when the snares were as poofy as the hair.

  • This is my favorite song by this duo.and this video is a good look at what we were trying to portray and convey during the era.

  • Back to the old times

  • I'm so jelous of you guys. cuz im born with a wrong era.

  • I'm only human

    Of flesh and blood I'm made

    Human

  • I miss the 80's *sigh*

  • Now, I'm not denying the 80s had some great music/pop culture. But let's not forget it was also the era of overproduced hair metal, self-indulgent guitar solos; cheesy B-movies and endless sequels; "Where's the beef?" (that era's "I'm Rick James, bitch"); the PMRC; and of course, some terrible fashion trends (shoulder pads, big hair, neon spandex, mullets, oversized tops).

    And then there's the serious stuff: crack cocaine, AIDS-fueled homophobia, Reaganomics, Iran-Contra, nuclear worries ...

  • @siukong That is true. And here in the 2010s we also have issues people won't admit to.

  • @ralvarez15 Oh definitely. Every era has its good and its bad. We have to make sure we neither overlook the good nor forget the lessons learned from the bad.

  • @siukong What's wrong with Reaganomics? 

  • When someone invents the time machine, I'm going back to the early 80's. They were the best of times.

  • @C5rrr They did baby, I'm there now.. x

  • @C5rrr me too .. I for sure would be on that ban wagon

  • @C5rrr hopefully someday......

  • A time when we had REAL music!!! Thank-You Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis!

  • I love 80's music because I grew up listening to this music!

  • This is one of the finest tracks from the 80s real class( love it to bitts)

  • This song is 3:53 of pure awesome. One of the top 10 of the '80s, and therefore also one of the top 10 of all time.

  • UGH!! He is sooo hot!

  • I wonder who wrote the little rap for Joanne Catherall? Was it Jimmy, or, Terry?

  • This song have a melody so pure, so soft....I love the feeling that this song passes for us.

  • @TheEricaguitar Cool jam!!!!!!

  • Back when all music spoke of love and personal trails. Now a days these silly retards destroy good music by sampling.. Now a days care about nothing but bling bling and who they sleeping with tonight. ( When there ass end up with HIV they will think twice... LIL Wayne the main re re...)

  • 80's Rock was the best..

  • this song was the shizzzzz...

  • "Pitbull featuring Chris Brown" <<-----fuck those retards!!

  • Sadly, the music of today is sorely lacking creative talent, and has become nothing more than noise.

    The 70s and 80s was an amazing period for music. Now Rap, HipHop and pseudo punks spew noise.

  • Comment removed

  • @rmueller58 So sad, but so TRUE. Music of those days had Meaning, and Purpose to them. Now they don't, their just sounds with a beat, and filthy words. No meaning no purpose, no substance.. just nothing.

  • Im 14... Its hard to get my friends to like 80s music Dx

  • @Rodaman14 Get some new friends...lol I was just a baby in the 80s but man there is sooo much awesome music.

  • 60 people aren't human. 

  • Philip was hot then, and still is.....

  • God This Is Killing mE i Cant Watch AnyMore  ??? DJ U KNOW THE SCORE HARDCORE.

  • the 80's...good music, good TV, good music and great times

  • @reklaw78 our time !

  • I wonder if there could be a parody of this song, sung from the Ferengi perspective.... Quark: "they're only hew-mon!" I'm just sayin'.

  • i love it

  • I think that the guy is bald now.

  • @mrsolofeo lol i know he's mad

    

  • @mrsolofeo Yes, now he is bald...

  • eye spent days in my room at home in hs listening to dis one while doin' my homework . . .

  • Man, every time i listen to this i picture myself listening this music driving a nice 80s porsche speedster :D ...someday maybe..

  • Excelente clasico, y nos sirve para reflexionar que nadie es perfecto. Te mereces un 10, por haber subido este video....... Mil gracias.
