Honest to god....JCM is a fucking gift. As recognized as he is....there are so many great songs that didn't get widespread notice. Track after track painting portraits of our collective lives and experiences. This is one of many that if you LISTEN...you hear the soundtrack of real life. Summer love from our youth becomes a memory we hang on to and glance at in the rear view mirror from time to time - even as they grow older and change just as we do.
One of the best articles what USA can export. I only hope that John will someday tour in Europe so I and rest his european fans could enjoy his live performances. Ps I'm a fan from Finland.
Hi from Canada: I recorded this off the TV on fricken beta and lost the tape(and machine) years ago. I have searched for this forever and just found it. Human Wheels is as true a classic as any Stienbeck novel. Believe it or not the suits at the record company didn't want to release it...they wanted rap. That's how eventually he went to a car company to get his music out.
I too have music that I have tried to search for that is lost to me that some of it I can only remember the melody. I know what you mean man it's so awesome to find that old treasure. And this is treasure.
@Hallstat72 Well done!! We should make a stand to convince John that he MUST come to an European tour!! C'mon Jooohhnniiieee!!!!! We need a "once in a livin'" concert in Europe!! Sgi. from Spain
John come to visit us Finns. You and I grow old listening to your music. You visited our neighbours danes few years ago at MIDSOMMER festivals. Please visit us in Helsinki or even in Stockholm(I can stand some swedes for YOU) . Still enjoying for sweet evening breeze.
ha! I worked on this whole show in '93. good day!

Why I love him above any other musician. From Jack and Diane the first time I heard him I knew he was different and had character.
I love all of John cougars music
I commented here 13 years ago. John and I are older now (we share the same birthday, Oct. 7) but this song still gives me chills.
Human Wheels, took me by surprise,I always kind of liked Mellencamp but Human Wheels took his music somewhere worthy of a lot of respect
this song is perfect! I will always have it as one of the tops of my fav. Mellencamp songs!
I guess that was the best live performance EVER of a new album.....wish I had been there in 1993....
this song plays it brings me to to a place i havent been since i still believed in love and passion its agreat memory
A wordsmith of the highest calibre - subtlety with passion.
my favourite song of all time - a classic to me. Listen over and over
a great example of John's ability to tell a story that everyone can relate to.
conoci algunas des sus canciones a finales de los noventa.hace un tiempo me acorde de jhon mellencamp y busque mas canciones, una buena decision.
Still the Best song (according To me). Keep it strong, and stay alive John!!!!
I was loud and a little sad…. Wow, what a song!
Class track from great artist, wrote many songs that will last FOREVER....
i was 16 when this album came out. Listened to it countless times, this was one of my fav's! Never saw a live performance of it, thanks for posting.
It's an amazing album. 🔥🔥🔥🔈🔉🔊
My son was born in 1993. Thirty years…time flies.
