‘While we were apart I was “human” too.’ One of the best twists and burns in pop music Lol

[@goldenstate66]

It's about being unfaithful.

[@tompickles9798]

OOOOH!!!! I'm back in 1986ish the decade of my life lots of great memories. HUMAN LEAGUE were one of the MOST influential bands of the 80s & are still touring to this day.

[@terrellinc22]

I remember as kids we love the "rap" part for when she said "I was human too" - Brilliant.

[@atouchofmagic1244]

These are my fave band, love them so much 🥰 Phil Oakey is one of the nicest people he’s so modest and down to earth in his interviews 🥰

[@annesmith2259]

Amazing live as well

[@thirty892]

One of my favorites 80s songs, I love the relaxing feeling it has.

[@matnar99]

I loooove this song!!!!! Remember my life in the 80s in argentina!!!!

[@tonylynch8121]

This song is produced by Janet Jackson producers Jimmy jam and Terry lewis

[@jumperking368]

"Things that dreams are made of" is my favourite Human League song. Should have been a single.

[@ItsSolarzzz]

human league is a huge band and its great to see people talking and reacting about them. also love that another person likes things that dream are made of.

[@wckdaintgood]

That was a great breakdown. Never thought of this song in the way you explained it

[@fabioferreira5449]

Aqui no Brasil esse som é sucesso até hoje!! The Human League é sensacional ❤️ 🇧🇷

[@fabian4ever69]

👍👍👍 I was a senior in high school when this was released. 💓

[@briancunningham594]

Check out their first albums Travelogue and Reproduction . You'll hear that he's always sung in that tone. A unique voice, kind of devoid of emotion.

[@Jontor11]

I don't know if you have done Ultravox and their song Vienna. It was literally the song that started the "making-videos-to-your-song" craze in the early 80s. It was the song that shaped music videos.

[@MorrisB1971]

One of my top 5 songs of the 1980s!!! Absolutely awesome!!!

[@dalidamezine5219]

Hi Anton 👋🏽‼️ Always in the mood and perfection on KZbin and with Human League 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thanks again so much for entertaining us with you. 🥳😘 Always amazing and magical with all 🙀🙆😎🤠🤓 You surprise us every moment to tell us about these artists on KZbin with this smile Anton FOREVER 😂😂😂 Thanks 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you so much for all 😻💕💞💓💗

[@leslapins7617]

I love the plot twist of this song… 🥰

[@davidhoward6254]

You have got to open up the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis vault...These guys were the "can't stop, won't stop" duo of the 80s and 90s from an R&B perspective. If you want to see how they can wring the best out of any performer/group they work with, listen to two songs by New Edition, "Helplessly in Love" from the Dragnet soundtrack, then go listen to "Can You Stand the Rain" from their "Heartbreak" album. Same group of young men, but the maturity they pulled out of them between those two songs is telling. Then, go listen to some good "Quiet Storm" material from them from the S.O.S. Band in "No One's Gonna Love You" and "Sunshine" by Alexander O'Neal...then you will appreciate the genius of these two guys. They also produced Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama", a song I know you liked...😉

[@brenspin]

I'm thinking you might enjoy "Heart And Soul" by T'Pau -- another British band. It was released the next year in 1987. "Heart And Soul" also has a spoken part and an interesting instrumental.

[@jbr600]

I have to go and listen to this now haven't heard it in forever😍

[@bluedragon4]

That song and walking on sunshine from Katrina and the waves are my big two hate 80's songs lol. The worst songs.

[@JohnDeDominicano]

OMG I love this song. It has a daunting and Adventurous vibe to it. This song makes me feel like I'm flying through a stormy sky in the middle of the dark night in hope of finding light. Plus this song was Produced by the legendary Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis who are responsible for producing the biggest Pop hits during the 1980s, 90s and early 2000s. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were discovered by the Iconic Prince and were part of his group and musical protegee, The Time with Morris Day. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are responsible for producing if not all of Janet Jackson's mega hits, they've also produced for Mariah Carey, Usher Boys To Men, New Edition, Bruno Mars and so many globally mega artists. I believe that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have made 41 top 10 hits in the US and 31 top 10 hits in the UK. They are absolute legends and have inspired other mega producers like Babyface and L.A. Reid, Teddy Riley, Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupri, Timbaland, Pharrell and Chad Hugo, Rodney "Darkchild" Jenkins, etc so many greats.

[@brenspin]

Oh, I wasn't aware Jam & Lewis were part of The Time or associated with Prince. Thanks for the info. 🙂

[@JohnDeDominicano]

@@brenspin Thanks and no problem.

[@rickysmith3214]

Could you be the icon himself, Elton John? I am a longtime fan all the way back to "Rocket Man."

[@rickysmith3214]

eljohn8099

[@htbald1]

"Electric dreams" is pretty cool as well!

[@WilAdams]

The fact is the male singer did not want to sing this song because he did not write it. He agreed to do ONE TAKE on the song, and they made the video in lip sync only, but if you look at how he looks down after she tells him she was human too, you can see that he does feel the song.

[@tonyporenshenko425]

Back in the 80s i had crush on both those girls

[@htbald1]

"Fascination" is a great feel good track by Human League. This was producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at their height off of Janet.

[@ManuelSanchez-mv6cs]

Greetings from Uruguay, South America. I congratulate you for reacting to the music that marked my youth and I follow you every day. I feel like part of my family. Greetings

[@andrebitoff3726]

Your insights are very interesting. Keep up the good work. Peace.

[@diamondeye75]

Minneapolis based producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis transformed this "robotic" type band into a really soulful, sensual trio. They definitely did them a service, the track is a timeless gem.

[@Doubrelle]

call out to Phil Oakey's vocals here - He is so underrated, power, range, great tone and some technical ability too and still sounding great in his 60's

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Interesting observation regarding the stoic quality in Phil's voice. Human League were one of the first all electronic bands to come out of England at the beginning of the New Wave movement. Most of their music was more emotionless. As noted below, Human League were very influential as were other electronic bands like Heaven 17, Kraftwerk, Thomas Dolby and Depeche Mode. Other Human League songs to explore: The Lebanon (my favorite), Love Action, Seconds, Fascination. Great reaction Anton!

[@saadeh.]

Basically Phil's trying to apologize to her for cheating on her while they were in a long distance relationship, using the excuse that he's only human who's born to make mistakes. IMO cheating is an unforgivable act and I would never get back with a partner who has cheated on me. She then responds by saying "while we were apart, I was human too," meaning that she cheated on him at the same time she was being cheated on. I'll never forget the first time I heard this song when I was SHOOK by the plot twist lol but I'm glad to call this my all-time favorite song because the production is exquisite & timeless :) So thank you for reacting to this gem, you've earned a new subscriber ;)

[@MyDawn2011]

my local band their great.Human and love is all that matters are my faves

[@miznay30]

Your research of song made me deep dive also to figure out who is Terry. Terry is part of the producing duo Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis known for million of hits especially for Janet Jackson. Terry and Jimmy started under the umbrella of Prince. No wonder I liked this song so much

[@plasticbutler]

If you wanna hear a good solo song from Phil Oakey, check out "Together in Electric Dreams".

[@ingvarjensen1088]

Pure 80s greatness, yeah!

[@Ronie803]

Nice!! 🔥

[@tinalongfellow7170]

I got a great one for you.GEORGE MICHAEL & QUEEN AT THE FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE CONCERT -SOMEBODY TO LOVE. ITS ABSOLUTELY EPIC

[@eleniprovia7667]

I love the Human League! My favorite song of theirs is “Soundtrack to a generation” of 1990.

[@deesee3622]

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (famous for producing a lot of Janet's albums in the 80s/90s/00s) did this song; This song came out the same year as Janet's Control album

[@anthonyjames4648]

❤

[@oompa_loompa_piano]

One of my fav of the ‘80s. Published a piano 🎹 cover too on my page ✌🏻

[@laurakeeley3686]

The are fabulous live

[@MojoPin1983]

This might be the quintessential ‘80s pop song. The arpeggiated piano chords are some of the most gorgeous ones that I’ve ever heard in a song. The Human League has lots of great music that you should check out in future reactions, primarily from their 1981 album, Dare; namely, *Don’t You Want Me* and *Love Action.* As mentioned please react to *Jeff Buckley - Grace (BBC Late Show).*

[@jaydenrockslewis]

Mirror man was there second biggest hit

[@samanthasmith8243]

Love this song!

[@jennifermitchell1]

I prefer this one to Don't You Want Me.... I wish more reactors would do this one!

[@armandoletal1483]

This band is famous ,they are a New Wave ,Synth, Pop band ,they have Many good songs you should to react to like: Sound of the Crowd,Love Action,The Lebanon,Heart like a Wheel ,Together in Electric Dreams ,All I ever wanted, Seconds my fav ones. I Saw them live in 2011 and It was espectacular, they looked so good and played magistrally ¡¡¡

[@debler]

🎶💗🎶 You would love "The adventurer's - broken land" 😍

[@ingvarjensen1088]

One of my all time faves - I just had left an East German province town and arrived in East Berlin. All my dreams lying before me. What a time ♥️

[@jerickson725]

👍 Another great one Anton!

[@itchyandred4131]

Yep always loved their music 🎶 one of my favorites from them is the song " fascination" not their most popular song but I love it ❤️✌️ have a blessed day 🌻

[@NoCanDu]

The video got played a LOT! I love it, too.

[@itchyandred4131]

Back when MTV actually played videos on the channel 😉✌️

[@AJ17_]

I recommend checking out "The Lebanon" by Human League (my fave by them).

[@a-dub]

Take a listen to Scritti Politti "Perfect Way". I don't think many reaction channels have done anything from them. Thanks!!

[@kevcall]

I'd forgotten how much I loved this song. Thanks for reacting and reminding me 👍

[@Stevieweevietv]

That distinctive Jam and Lewis production! Very late 80s, but I was a huge fan of that sound back in the day. Janet Jackson and Alexander O'Neal too. Good times 🙂

[@peterwaters8338]

check Jam and Lewis work w Alexander Oneal and SOS band......da sound of 80s soul/R&B/Funk

[@gcollinbyrne]

only human was naturally a big lean to

[@johnnelson3665]

Not really cheating if they weren’t together. I can still understand the guilt though. They both were in love with each other.

[@richardhughes9255]

It is worth noting that Phil Oakey and Joanne Catherall (the brunette lady who talks), were in a relationship for a number of years.

[@nickyd6457]

I saw the Human League live just a few weeks ago. Phil still got it 👍

[@BadBeepBoy]

The female singing in the song isn't actually by either of the woman in the video. Officially, at least at this point, The Human League consisted of five members, though only the three vocalists - Philip Oakey and the two women, Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Cattherall - were shown on the album cover. Sulley and Cattherall had typically done vocals on prior records, but for this one the group teamed up with some hot new producers who radically changed the group's sound. To be frank, none of the members were particularly good singers, technically speaking. Interesting voices, but lacking much in the way of power and control and frequently at least a little off-key even on the studio recordings. For the backing vocals of this song the new producers had professional studio musicians come in and record the female parts to make them sound better, with the band member lipsynching to them in the video. The spoken word section was added to this song at the band's request so that Joanne Cattherall would have something to do. That's her voice talking, but as soon as it switches back to actual singing it's an off-screen studio vocalist again.

[@davidwilkie9935]

Human League are a very interesting band. Very influential and went through various incarnations and crossed genres. The band’s early 80s output like “Being Boiled” is experimental to huge hits like “Don’t You Want Me” (from album Dare) and later on they became more commercial in sound generally with a brief resurgence in the 90s with another change in direction musically.

[@AcdallasAndy]

Human League was a great U.K. group in the 80s! Like most U.K. groups in the 80s, they had one big album and then kinda faded away.

[@group-music]

They had several albums between 1978 to 2011 and are still touring and recording today.

[@NoCanDu]

This song makes me think of of the movie Electric Dreams. Phil Oakey sings the title track!

[@ricolove9273]

Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis wrote and produced this song for him their songwriters that wrote All of Janet Jackson songs new edition can you stand The rain a lot of hits for a lot of pop artists

[@jerickson725]

BTW, You have the best English ever, that was ever done 🤣😅!

[@brenspin]

One of my favorites from the 80s. Great atmospheric instrumental. I also love Human League's lesser-known song "Heart Like A Wheel". I used to listen to Top 40 countdowns every week, and I remember "Human" on the charts at the same time as another memorable 80s song, Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" (which I hope you'll react to someday).

[@ingvarjensen1088]

And Madonna's "True Blue" and Stacey Q.'s "Two Of Hearts" and Pet Shop Boys' "Suburbia" ♥️

[@brenspin]

@@ingvarjensen1088 A great era for music. I like all of those, although here in America, I don't know if "Suburbia" was an official single. I know it wasn't a hit here (not that it means it's not a good song). 🙂

[@ingvarjensen1088]

@@brenspin You're my man 😊

[@gypsyroadhog]

He also had a huge hit with Giorgio Moroder which you’ll recognise as soon as hear…Together in Electric Dreams

[@Collegio1]

Cheating seems to be a "mistake" only if you get caught... right away or nine months later.

[@adorkability]

Don't You Want Me is definitely their most popular hit (with good reason because it's a great song), very different than Human, which is also awesome. But my favorite Human League song is probably Fascination which I like for its fun, upbeat tempo and its showcasing of the different voices in the band.

[@paullittle9100]

Roads to Moscow Al Stewart

[@ronpotts6385]

Definitely check out "Don't You Want Me?"when you can. It's a "he said, she said" take on a doomed relationship. It's also one of the most iconic songs of the 80s.

[@richardhunter7363]

The Human League were hugely influential - the original line-up released 2 albums with limited success (although massive in Sheffield from where they hail ) - following the split, Phil/Adrian kept the name and formed the successful HL, producing one of the most influential albums of the time, Dare, before going on to produce multiple discs and even today the HL are still going. The remaining ex-members Martin Ware/Ian Craig Marsh formed Heaven 17 (react to Temptation?) and the production company British Electric Foundation (BEF) who produced albums such as Music of Quality and Distinction where they worked with multiple vocal artists (they worked with Tina Turner on Ball of Confusion, one track on the album which, may be thought of as her first step back on the ladder to super stardom). Saw H17 a couple of years back, still a great band live. Saw HL at their height - the think I remember most was how the bass synth would hammer in your chest whilst some of the high synth notes would spear you through your abdomen - sound felt and heard.

[@celinhabr1]

Human League is AWESOME. I hope to see more of them here. I also think you might like an 80s band called "The dream academy", they have some great songs like "Life In A Northern Town", "The Edge Of Forever" and their version of "Please, Please, Please (Let Me Get What I Want)".

[@jasonthayer1309]

Sonic Youth, "Dirty Boots"

[@Mr.Shows97]

I saw them live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2StfZSrhcqtpMk

[@MojoPin1983]

“The tears I cry aren’t tears of pain, They’re only to hide my gluten shame.” That spoken word verse wasn’t even supposed to be in the song; it was a compromise between the band and the writers of this tune, Jam & Lewis. The Human League wanted to have the two female members, Suzanne Sully and Joanne Catherall, to sing on the track, but Jam & Lewis insisted on using their own preferred female singers, so the female backup singers in this song are not actually the two girls from the band. This led to the band and Jam & Lewis agreeing to allow Joanne to do the aforementioned spoken word bit in order to satisfy both parties. I think that was a good compromise and it lends an interesting quality to the song that otherwise would not have been included, had the band originally gotten their way. I really appreciate how articulate and thoughtful your analyses are. God has blessed you with a great intellect. You seem like someone that probably reads a lot. On that note, I would gently urge you to read C.S. Lewis’ signature classics (8 volumes). I think you would get a lot out of his astute insights. The books include: Mere Christianity The Screwtape Letters The Great Divorce The Problem of Pain Miracles A Grief Observed Abolition of Man The Four Loves

[@rsccostarica]

I suggest you try a song called One One from Hall AND Oates

[@jongregory1396]

Love action by human league is another cool song to react to by them much more of a upbeat sound also anything by punk rock legend billy idol would be cool rebel yell white wedding flesh for fantasy to be a lover cradle of love any of these songs would be awesome any way loving ur channel peace from England 🙏
