HUMAN SADNESS(end credits)-Julian Casablancas

This is the original draft version to 'HUMAN SADNESS'. Which also appears in Sam Adoquei's short docu...'UNSEEN BEAUTY'(2012) and in the credits to the 'Human Sadness'(2015) video.

I found Human Sadness before exams session when I was studying really hard and fighting my addiction. I screw exams and I was afraid to listen to Human Sadness, I thought that if I will listen at least once I won't enter medicine and I will get back to relapse. I remained without listening - it was hard as it was one of the most beautiful songs I ever found, only the Age of Adz and Impossible Soul can compete with this masterpiece. And now, a month later, when I was informed that I have entered studies I wished for when I was 3 y.o., this thing jumped in YT recommendations... As if announcing that darkness has reached its end! What a masterpiece and what a coincidence! Life happens beautifully. Wish huge good luck to everyone, stay safe, stay healthy, stay good and happy!

[@Genny-Zee]

I have never seen Julian cry in my life so these lyrics really hit hard man

[@bryrrock]

he's strong enough to forget about all the shit he has gone through in stage/camera. i see him and admire him by the way he sings, has an amazin voice and vocal range, but behind all that talent, there's a person who divorced and had the fault, felt guilty about it, had to see his parents getting divorced as well, many relationships with not a good ending, idk. i kinda feel bad about it. he seems to be a really sweet person. btw sorry for the long text i felt inspired by this song

[@bryrrock]

btw this song was wrote way before his divorce. anyways he has gone through very tough situations in the past.

[@julestroker]

Glad this is up again... The Voidz made it more psychodelic but this version is more raw... like "I'll try anything once" to its complete version YOLO....

[@SmellyFruitZ]

Wow, this demo has like, the same kind of impact that I'll Try Anything Once (the demo for You Only Live Once) had for me. The melody almost dares you to try your hardest not to cry, and you have this deep feeling of sadness and regret. It's truly amazing how powerful music is.

[@xbassault9819]

Well said. I always get tears that well up in my eyes, as of I'm feeling the deep sorrow from someone else's memories.

[@sxobased]

i found this song during a really hard time in my life and i can say it genuinely made me feel better everytime i listened to it, the relatable tone and nostalgic feeling makes me feel complete even if the song is intentionally meant to be sad and gloomy.

[@tsuuts5405]

Same feeling honestly it’s very comforting

[@colemanjones4374]

Human sadness and the demo will always hold a dear place in my heart. I remember I first found Human Sadness the day before my brother died. I was in bed listening to music before my last week of high school and stumbled on the full song. My first thought was " Man, Harrison is gonna love this I can't wait to show him!". Then after my AP test next morning, I came home to learn he passed away the previous night while at college. Over the next few days of mourning, I played it probably a hundred times until I finally stumbled on the demo. It just made sense to me.. finding them both when I did. It felt like a storyboard. Who knows maybe he would have heard both and thought "ehh it's not my thing".. I mean that hardly matters now. The version I remember of him likes it and we listen to them all the time
