    The lyrics, “The tears I cry aren’t tears of pain, they’re only to hide my guilt and shame, I forgive you, now I ask the same of you, while we were apart, I was human too”….Wow 😮….This band is an 80’s gem!

    Jay and Amber, I think you missed it on this one. At the beginning of the song, he confessed to cheating on her while she was gone somewhere. And then SHE says, well, I cheated on you, too. That's what "being human" means in this song. There's very little sweetness and compassion going on at all. Listen again. :)

    This song is actually hilarious in the end. The entire song is the guy making excuses for cheating on his girlfriend while they were apart, begging for forgiveness, hoping she won't dump him...only to have her at the end turn it around on him, admit she cheated on him, too. First time I heard this, many, many years ago, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

    This song was written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Those men were thr architects of so many artists of the 80's and were members of The Time, a band from Minneapolis and part of the groups developed by Prince. They were writers for Janet Jackson and so many others. They produced almost countless hits.

    One of my favorite songs ever! Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced this one. It was a decidedly different sound for the group, and scored them a crossover hit into R&B charts. However, most people don’t catch that it’s about 2 people apologizing for cheating on each other.

    A lot of people commented that this song was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of Flyte Tyme Productions but what no one has mentioned is that the song was already written by them when Human League came in to lay down the vocals. The woman's lines weren't added until the next day because the woman that was sleeping with one of the male singers complained about there not being any part for them. So Terry told them to come back the next day and he had the woman's line written and ready to record.

    One of the many hits that are part of the "Minneapolis Sound," which influenced SOOOOO MUCH of the music of the 80s. This was another song produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (members of the group, The Time), who, along with Prince, impacted that whole decade of music via song production. They were also responsible for ALL of Janet Jackson's albums, Bobby Brown's hits during the 80s and early 90's, New Edition's albums when they added Johnny Gill, Johnny Gill's album production, a few of Mary J Blige's albums, and lesser known pop artists (but ones who were very stong with R&B songs of the day) like Cherelle, Alexander O'Neil, and others I've probably forgotten about. If you look up the number of songs they and Prince produced during that Era, you'd probably be shocked -- "I feel for You" by Chaka Khan, for instance, is a Prince song.

    Some think that the song is about him cheating on her because she wasn't around when he needed her, but I believe it's that they were a couple, had a fight and (as young couples do) hastily broke up. In the short time they were apart, each slept with another, then they got back together and both regretted what had happened.

    Man, I love this song, and this band. Philip Oakey is the male singer, Joanne Catherall is the woman. They play off each other so dang well. My personal favorite HL song is "Heart Like a Wheel", but I also love "Mirror Man", "Tell Me When", and "(Keep Feeling) Fascination". Thanks for reacting! And for no reason at all, I'm going to recommend "The Boy From New York City" by Manhattan Transfer.

    "Human League" was actually one guy, Philip Oakey. The back up singers were just that, singers. Oakey was an inovator of techno at the time along with Thomas Dolby and Howard Jones. I was there for the techno revolution of the early 80"s as an undergraduate in physics. I'm now 67 and this is stil some of my favorite music from this time.

    Human League were one of the first electronic New Wave bands to hit big in America. This is from the album Crash, produced by Janet Jackson's super producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Check out Love is All That Matters from the same album. Other songs to check out: Fascination, Love Action, The Lebanon (my favorite), Heart Like a Wheel, and The Things That Dreams Are Made of. Great, great music!

I don't think they could have got a better band to perform this song. A guilt-stricken man that decided to stray while he was apart from his love. Just the music alone is very emotional.

    The Human League are still touring in Europe, though Philip is the only one in the lineup who has been going the whole 45 years! A more modern, blues rock song called Human was released 5 yrs ago by Rag 'n' Bone Man. It won Song of the Year in 2017, plus International Song of the Year. It is very different and very, very moving. You'd love it.

    Then I heard HER part and put it all together!
    He cheated and was begging for forgiveness!
    She granted his request but asked the same for being, "human too"!

    This is a song about infidelity. Whatever caused these two people to be apart has created this situation. He obviously sleeps with someone else. And he’s begging for forgiveness only for her to confess that while they were apart, she slept someone else too. And she’s asking for the same in return. One of my fave Human League songs. Fascination is another great song & is a catchy upbeat little number. Also one of my faves.
