The Human League - Don't You Want Me (Instrumental Cover)

Visit my website: kosmusicovers.altervista.org
This is my instrumental cover of a magnificent 1980s classic by the English band The Human League: Don't You Want Me of 1981.
It was a bit of a complex track to recreate for the amount of synth sounds, but I have to say I had a lot of fun creating these typical early 80s synth sounds (many of them with the classic square wave).
To recreate this track and to make the video, I was inspired by the official video version: • The Human League - Don...
I used the CS1x sounds for many brasses of this song and tried to get as close as possible to the original with all the other sounds. There are some differences with the original track (you can hear them by listening to the separate left/right channels), especially with the more complex sounds to recreate (for example the rhythm synth on the right channel starting at 0:23). Moreover, I made the fade out of the track a little more gradual (lengthening it a few seconds longer than the original).
I hope you enjoy my tribute to this beautiful song :)
** Please note: my videos are not live performances, but are music videos accompanying for the covers I create. The original graphics and music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I'm just a fan and I recreate animations/graphics/tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these great timeless classics **

[@KOSmusicovers]

I dedicate my tribute to this 80s masterpiece to my dear friend Robert Gillander and Luciano Serejo, who asked me for this wonderful song from The Human League!!! Moreover, with this video, I wish all those who follow me and support me a happy Christmas and the hope that 2021 is a better year for each of us!!! HAPPY CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS, MY FRIENDS :) :) :)

Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar That much is true But even then I knew I'd find a much better place Either with or without you The five years we have had have been such good at times I still love you But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own I guess it's just what I must do Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby?

Happy Christmas indeed! What an absolute knockout performance! I really appreciate all the hard work. Lots of syncopation in this one. I see you keeping the rhythm between attacks. I do the same. Superb job!

[@juliancroot]

You did it again! Borderline perfect. I hope people appreciate how difficult this is to do. Every part is authentically present.... even those that most people won't realise were there. Its mixed and mastered in a way that retains the character of the original. I will never tire of saying it about your work Kos, its inspiring and brilliant!

[@robertgillander3289]

Absolutely agree

[@KOSmusicovers]

@Picturedmedia YOU ARE ALWAYS SO KIND, MY FRIEND!!!!!! It is so rewarding to have your support and admiration... you are a great talented musician, with an excellent ear for detail!!!!! I have to say that out of all the tracks I've done, this was the one where I had to create the most synth layers ever. Fortunately, I could hear each instrument well, listening to both the right and left channels separately (unfortunately many tracks do not have this convenience, because all the instruments are in the center and if there is also the voice, it is very difficult to understand which sounds there are). I thank you from the bottom of my heart Julian, to always appreciate my efforts!!!! I wish you lots of good music and a Happy Christmas :) :) :)

[@andyforshortbutnotforlong5351]

Absolute genius my friend, you’ve kept this faithful to the original, but you’ve added very subtle nuances to compliment your personality & that’s fine with me. Thank you for sharing your special talents with KZbin, best wishes & may many blessings come your way. 🙏👏👌🎶

I'm super late to the comment party on this one, but daayyuuuummm!!! Ya know, you really are the master of 80's synth patch programming on the Yamaha CS1x!!! I wish they'd go and recreate this and their AN1x synths for people like me who were too young to ever own any of these synths..I'm nearing my mid 30's so obviously I was just a kid back in the 90's! This is yet another brilliant cover of one beautiful and legendary new wave song. You make me so excited about music and what it can make people feel. Keep on with your talent and may you have a blessed 2022!!

[@KOSmusicovers]

MEGA WOOOWWW, ADAM... Your comments always leave me speechless!!!! It is really fabulous to know that you liked my version of this 80's masterpiece and my way of recreating the sounds so much :) I think we are almost the same age (I was born in 1985) and my CS1x, I it was a gift from my dad for my birthday in 1998 and I immediately loved it... I have so many good memories of the 90s and I love all the music and movies of that era!!! I thank you from the bottom of my heart my friend, for your very special words and I wish you too, all the best in your life :) :) :)
