    You can easily tell this is another Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis masterpiece. Human League knew their work very much so they had said they wouldve been fools if they had turnt down this song. It payed off hitting No. 1 in 1986.

    • @tj5579
      @tj5579 2 года назад +10

      Yeah which explains why it sounds very similar to N.E.'s Can You Stand The Rain

      @angelomaurizio1668 2 года назад +9

      @@tj5579 Jam and Lewis created an identity no one can emulate. From the first few bars you could tell its them. Their infectious synthesizer/keyboards and drum kit sounds had won them numerous grammy awards starting out with Janet Jackson's Control album and had a huge hit for for Boyz II Men's 'On Bended Knee'

    • @Ori0n1975

    Another masterpiece from Flytetime, Jam and Lewis knocked it outta the park with this one. Their music and lyricism is recognizable from the bat. Y'all should react to a remake of one of their songs done by Robert Palmer, I Didn't Mean to Turn You One. That is a jam.

    In this song, a guy is coming clean after cheating on his girl, telling her he only did it to fill the empty void inside him while they were apart. He comforts her, assuring her, "No one else could ever take your place." His excuse is a lame one, but it's all he's got: "I'm only human
    Later in the song, we hear from the woman, who reveals that she also cheated on him while they were away. She's human too
    Terry Lewis came up with the concept by thinking about how cheating men tend to either get caught or spill their guts, while women who cheat are better at hiding their secrets.

    • @mickdenis6630

      @SunshineState-ou7pr 8 месяцев назад

      Women always did just as much as men, most were never innocent, the cheating scale with genders are equal. Honestly, he probably saw some body else, after she left. Women still try and consider that cheating because of them being so insecure. But yet women cheat while married.

    My favourite thing about this track (and the "Crash" album) is the artistic collision of the super-smooth Minneapolis Jam & Lewis songwriting & production sound, versus the born-in-Sheffield super-Englishness of The Human League... funnily enough, another Sheffield band who had big success in the early 80s, ABC, also brought out a very American-sounding album around the same time, the very underrated "How To Be A Zillionaire"...

    When electro-pop became soul aided by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis 🥰 If you like this style, check out Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, especially the second part and you will recognize the musical style.
