Rick Springfield - Human Touch (Official Video)

[@laraschauble]

A song released in 1983..with the video setting taking place in 2016... while listening to the song in 2024...God I miss the 80's!!! ❤

[@Realchrisstapletonmusic]

Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support💖

[@JohnDixon-m2l]

Their I the human touch whake it happen 💪💪💪🥳. 3:05

[@carradine2007]

RICK is asking questions to Sally ( Siri ) but the things get weird in the video "human touch' when he is dancing with the girl and there is a sinister robotic and demonic voice in the bakckground saying: I am controller, and i want to touch and seize you and make you mine" it may refer that the human race is human farm for the sinister beings who control the world .Rick might know something that we ignore.

[@mellttabor2134]

All those “ future videos” set in the year ?? …. And they are all now past history. LOVE IT They didn’t even get a chance to populate the human race

[@farscape319]

Seriously underrated. Springfield doesn't get the respect he deserves.

[@malkinskyrker6299]

+MechanicalAnimal ikr. just why

[@BudFactorE]

+MechanicalAnimal because he *Shatner's* all his videos

[@brendaralston93]

So True!

[@mildlyfrustrated8001]

they called him Bruce

[@JSharpe427]

MechanicalAnimal Bruce Springsteen also did a song called human touch.

[@TaureDawn]

This song is actually ahead of it's time.

[@drnick8976]

so true..and even more poignant today than back then

[@SpaceGhostSupreme]

It’s actually within its own time. People have been imagining future worlds for centuries. There was a lot of concern over nuclear war in the 1980’s. I was there! 😉

[@grege9019]

My favorite Rick Springfield song. In the video, he asks Sally what year it is. She responds that it's 2016 (33 years after the song was released). The lyrics are even more meaningful in 2022. (Edited)

[@Price70]

33 years after it's release. The song is from 1983

[@TherealMrsCothrine]

I wonder what Rick thinks of life in 2023,40 years after this song??? And, can we talk about how prophetic the lyrics are? And how now everyone has a computer in their hand more powerful than the first Mac? Or IBM original PC? That phone in your hand right now, as you watch videos in the bathroom by yourself is more powerful than anything dreamt of in 1983. Where most homes didn't even have 1 computer.

[@brianbachelder3548]

Weird how the song talks about everyone being addicted to their electronics and not having the "human touch". It's like a prophecy song for today!

[@ninjabearpress2574]

Yeah, that's what makes this better sci-fi than "Star Trek into Darkness".

[@josephpepitone4783]

Brian Bachelder your right, the future of what the elite are planning are told through television, music, movies. But most cannot see this happening. We are moving toward a one world order and people seem to love their servitude. I hope they all wake up to see that our minds are the hardest prison to escape. Those in power think we are to weak to make our own decisions. Why do you think the gap between the rich and poor is so wide in 2017? They want complete control of your lives and people are unwillingly giving them to those that control us without a fight.

[@kermitdafrog2485]

Genius right.. that’s what I thought, too..

[@rjjcms1]

Indeed.

Greetings from the future and the coast of Mississippi. 1983 is when this video came out. Yet it is set in 2016. I waited decades for that year and now we have surpassed it. Rick is one of my favourite 80's singers....from his General Hospital days to present ❤😂🎉

[@tbd1613]

Brings back such good memories. Sure do miss the 80's. Life seemed so much easier.

[@nygelmiller5293]

To George varughese - I don't mean to spoil the dream - but if you're from the U.K., these were the Thatcher Years! So the times were great for music, but with Unemployment and hospital closures thrown in! Those times WERE good - if you kept "blinkers" on ( you know those shields they put over horses eyes in traffic, so they only see FORWARDS, and aren't scared by traffic to either side).

[@shawnjones8609]

Best damn decade for music. EVER. No two ways about it. I feel sorry for kids who didn't experience it. I was born in 1966 so in January of 1980 I had just turned 13. Couldn't ask for a better time to live.

[@PerrinRynning]

Please focus on the key word in the last sentence: "... seemed..." It's very much a matter of perspective. The decade had its pleasant parts, of course, but plenty of horrors, to go with it...

[@sandwichpaddington2843]

How ironic that we all need the human touch here in 2023

[@rogerqueen2409]

This song was a message to the future from the past ahead of its time....

[@bryanb4817]

“Everybody’s talking to computers…” This song seems prophetic. Remember when it came out? People actually talked face-to-face to each other back then. Studies have shown that even though people are connected electronically in the digital age, people feel more alienated than ever. It seems we do need the human touch, maybe more than ever. Remember when men and women connected in person rather than fishing through endless profiles on online dating sites? Remember when people had real friends instead of Facebook friends? I sometimes long for those days. Does anyone else?

[@kleocatra9675]
