The 80s were magical. No internet, no social media none of the crap we have today. We would listen to music and just talk to each other. God how I wish we could go back to that. The world would be a much better place.
I couldn’t agree more. All of this tech has subverted some very fundamental aspects of society and humanity. We have access to anyone at our fingertips at any time, yet somehow we are more lonely and it seems so much harder to connect in meaningful ways. I would gladly go back to having a rotary phone and no internet. 😂
yep, sometimes so much it almost hurts, it's like I can't stop listening to the best of the 80s, blubbering and tears occasionally depending on the song and how much wine I've had to drink, but eventually "reality" reels me back in to its tenacious grip...
I did and it was awesome. My mom loved this song and back then you got lucky when it came on the radio in our shitty truck on the way to soccer practice. Memories
I'm 44 so I'd be a kid in the 80s but I still think the 80s is the greatest decade for music, fashion and even living standards. A minimum weeks wage went so much further than it does now.
I was born late 86 but I am so deeply in love with 80s music. This is one of those songs I love to sing. The voice, lyrics, the simplicity. What an era.
This is simply a masterpiece on every level, the quality of Phil Oakey’s vocals, combined with the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who were the masters of their craft at that time. It’s a true testament of schmaltzy pop soul ballad.
The melodies, the complex percussion & rythm loop, the arc of the song where it almost comes to halt, the vocals ... damn, 80s music can be so perfect.
Same here. Honestly I feel like the eighties are a state of mind and a way of life if you will it to be. Some of us are lucky enough to have lived during that time and understand that the dream of that time is so much more ellusive than anything worth desiring today. Today most artists aren't willing to allow for any sense of true emotionality and longing. It's out there. But definitely not mainstream like it was then. It's like trying to catch the wind.
AUTOPHYXATION...Thank you for your input Debbie Downer. You sound like the kid who was bullied in the eighties as a child, and are still to this day as an adult. It’s very sad actually 😔
@@Name-qy9du I actually was not born in the 80s, and I was bullied by the oppressive social system of otherising that our society has unintentionally built up.

Come on baby, dry your eyes Wipe your tears Never like to see you cry Won't you please forgive me I wouldn't ever try to hurt you I just needed someone to hold me To fill the void while you were gone To fill this space of emptiness I'm only human Of flesh and blood I'm made Human Born to make mistakes So many nights I longed to hold you So many times I looked and saw your face Nothing could change the way I feel No one else could ever take your place I'm only human Of flesh and blood I'm made Human Born to make mistakes (I am just a man) (Human) (Human) Please forgive me (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) I'm only human Of flesh and blood I'm made (I am just a man) Human Born to make mistakes (Human Human).

80s melodies are heavenly Those 80s keyboard lines that emulate kind of crystal, water, ice, wind, light, electricity and fire sound spectrums. 💎🌊❄️🌬️✨⚡🔥
@@kensmechanicalaffair No no, my friend, even some artists used to name their synthesizer sounds with physical nature elements, for example, library music used to. Like this one: Shining Ice by Paul Williams (1986) ua-cam.com/video/dahfP6-1j9w/v-deo.html When I listen to this, in my mind I can visualize kind of cave with ice cubes shining and melting. It's incredible how every element has their own sound according to them and you can make a mental journey to landscapes. The power of music.
This was more my parents genre and era but I love this stuff, Michael McDonald, kenny loggins, Marvin Gaye, light house family (but newer I know) and my main music of choice is hip hop.. work that one out 🤣
Brings tears to me eyes how good things used to be. Even the hard times back then were better then the times of today. TOTAL NOSTALGIA RIGHT NOW. The memories that are flowing in my head. 😔
I agree rays6741. Our country is being stripped of everything. Damn the eighties NEVER had this schit! What is going on now. Funny it is all Bidens Fault and the Democraps. Really! We must get them out!

Tens mesma idade que eu Pri, 37 Anos, somos de 1985, essa Música é de 1986, só hoje eu já ouvi umas 4, 5 seguidas, vício e o melhor nunca enjoa hehe ✌🏽😉
I am 25, but the 80s were another realm. I can't stop listening, thinking of what I would do in that age, sweet nostalgic vibe engulfs me with respect to the seniors of the era. We love y'all❤
This song gave me chills… I was a young girl when my mom would play this… it took me back to such a happy time in my life… how I wish I could go back … certain love ones would be alive younger and vibrant…. The power of music is beautiful
sou pai do gabriel e desde que ouvi essa música em 88 não canso de ouvir e ádmirar os sons dos instrumentos , mesmo com as tecnologias de hoje jamais vão conseguir fazer igual, hoje infelizmente são tudo computadorizados, e antigamente eles usavam 3 coisas, o don, os dedos e a dedicação, hoje voçe não vê graça nenhuma , por isso só curto músicas românticas das décadas de 80 e 90, não tem comparação, em todos os sentidos.
I’m of an age where the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s all still find a place on my playlists, but every generation has it’s day. Where I think music lost it’s way in the 90’s, there are still songs that I like and that applies to the 2000’s, 2010 up to today.
I'm 46 i miss the 80s every thing in my life at that time was so carefree and now I can listen to the music from that time and wish I could just spend a day are 2 with family whos gone RIP MISS YOU ALL 🌹 we are only human ...
Me in "85" getting divorced and heartbroken, listening this song and all of a sudden, here come the tears again. Strange how some songs trigger memories that you thought you got over, 36 years ago.
Time truly heals all wounds. Some take even longer than 38 years. But mine took 29 years. Sometimes u got to say F**k it and just let go , move on. Every minute that goes by, is another minute closer to us NO LONGER being alive.
Every decade has their problems but life before the internet, social media and the god damn phones was REAL. Face to face human interactions. Creativity was at its best in the 80s. That's why the music was so good. Now everything is fake. Boring, zombie phone addicts everywhere you look. I am so tired of comments like 'don't romanticize the past.' If you weren't there you have no idea what you're talking about...
I remember growing up a little girl listening to this song and I fell in love with it, as I loved George Michael, and so many others. Still one of my favorites to this day. It's one the songs within my Pandora's playlist. I don't even bother with the new music. I open up Pandora and select an 80s artist and I listen to it all day. The 80s were the best!!!
My sentiments exactly. I think most people are like that. They tend to listen to mainly the music they grew up with. I honestly couldn't name a single song and the artist on the charts these days.
i feel old now buddy and im only 32 as i miss the 90s so much so god knows how you must feel..so sad that we all have to grow up although tbh i dont think i have im still peter pan haha
Como que pode ter tanta música boa e memorável nos anos 80?? To fazendo uma seleção pro pendrive do carro da minha mãe, e é pérola atrás de pérola que redescubro, acho que vou gravar uns 2 pen drives só desse década hahaha! Gente, amooo
When I said I'd meet you somewhere you have to trust me otherwise I would have stiffed you. Depended on payphones to assure the parents I wasn't out doing psychedelics. I couldn't imagine living know as a teen. Such a cell....phone.
I listened to this back in 1987 on my bed so many times, and I was wondering why this music is so good. And, 34 years later, I got the answer: the chords and instruments are in perfect harmony!
The 80s had the best music ever .❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉❤

Siempre
The entire 20th Centuary was God Tier for Music

Yes, we did.

More lyrics..
Come on baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes
So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No one else could ever take your place
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes
(I am just a man)
(Human)
(Human)
Please forgive me
(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)
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
(I am just a man)
Human
Born to make mistakes

@chicken Gorge Radio just announced that Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island passed away today. Dude, that's like my first t.v. crush.
@chicken Gorge I know that Ginger is still alive. I think that's about it.
The lyrics "I'm only human. Born to make mistakes" is just sang so perfectly and with so much soul. It hits so hard
So is "Of flesh and blood I'm made" Damn!
Love the way she sings, “I am just a man!”
It's sure does great meaning and beat
Also, "While we were apart, I was human, too."
We wouldn't be human if we didn't make mistakes.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced an absolute banger.
Come on baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes
So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No one else could ever take your place
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes
(I am just a man)
(Human)
(Human)
Please forgive me
(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)
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
(I am just a man)
Human
Born to make mistakes
(Human
Human).

The UK produced some of the best bands in the '80s, there will never be another era like the '80s
This is so true we didn't need to be sniffing coke to have a good time just a few drinks. And then on to the disco.
I am a dutchman and i agree!
I fucking agree and even in the 90s and 00s. :-) A South African here. :P
Genial
Yet again they called it the British invasion. Hah! Americans.
I’m 43 but wish I could live the 80s again 😢
Iam building a time machine right now to go back
44. Me too.

Una hermosa y excelente canción que transporta al los años dorados
There’s no mistaking the sound of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. My all time favourite Human League song by far. Such quality and class ❤️❤️❤️
80s melodies are heavenly
Those 80s keyboard lines that emulate kind of crystal, water, ice, wind, light, electricity and fire sound spectrums.
💎🌊❄️🌬️✨⚡🔥
Lol. I thought i was the only one who thought that.
@@kensmechanicalaffair
No no, my friend, even some artists used to name their synthesizer sounds with physical nature elements, for example, library music used to.
Like this one: Shining Ice by Paul Williams (1986) ua-cam.com/video/dahfP6-1j9w/v-deo.html
When I listen to this, in my mind I can visualize kind of cave with ice cubes shining and melting.
It's incredible how every element has their own sound according to them and you can make a mental journey to landscapes. The power of music.

My young daughter has discovered this era of music and has fell in love with it. I'm comforted in the knowledge this genres will not be forgotten.
Parenting goal!
Good for her!
This was more my parents genre and era but I love this stuff, Michael McDonald, kenny loggins, Marvin Gaye, light house family (but newer I know) and my main music of choice is hip hop.. work that one out 🤣
I think music from the mid-1950s to the mid-2000s will never be forgotten or duplicated. It was simply the golden age of the 4th art, period !

I miss the 80's. Lots of beautiful & memorable music.
Let's hope this decade will bring back 80s styled music!
Women, too!
I will never forget this beautiful song!
I do appreciate it since I was 19 years old. Today I am 54.
C'est le genre de chanson que je n'oublierai jamais. Un des grands tubs des années 80.
Just like me. I. Am 54 years and i feel that same feelings that's One of my favorite songs born to make mistakes.

Thank you for putting the lyrics! You are an awesome person indeed!
Some tunes are timeless
Thanks for the lyrics, I rewind and sang with the lyrics.
60's through 80's music was unbelievably authentic.
Great times🥲

Yeah!!
Waite a minute don't forget get the 90's
Who knew a New-wave Pop Band from Sheffield, and Two R&B Writer/Producers from the Midwest, could create such Magic!?!?!?!?!?!?!
And somehow, they made it work, right? Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were awesome producers!!! The '80s was the best decade for music. So many memories this and others brings back...:)
Sunny Tyler Lfo boy band made song called baby be mines on there first a album 1999 .. there where from river falls Massachusetts...they sampled human league song
@@mulder4268 Terry Lewis & Jimmy Jam were members of The Time featuring Morris Day. They also contributed heavily to Janet Jackson's albums.
No wonder it has that new jack swing vibe to it!!
But human league original for song made they lfo sample there song from 1986!!!
The 1980s were truly a magical time. You just had to have been there to know.
There is no other decade like the 80s. I feel blessed to grow up in this era. This music definded the way I listen to music.
Right there with you!

Three years back they did a tour. They played all hits, what a night. Priceless!!
This is an absolute gem!
It's always a treat when Singers and Musicians play all of their hits. 😀
Nasci nessa época, hoje com 37 anos sempre ouço e amo... Sinceramente essas músicas dos anos 80, 90 são as melhores!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
claro, yo vivo en EU y llegue aca en 1994 y todavia tocaban mucho esta cancion como por 15 an#os mas, fue muy bonito
Eu tbm nasci nessa época 1985, música lançada em 86 amo essas músicas dos anos 80 😘
Sou de 77. Somos testemunhas da inspiração inigualável daquela década. Totalmente espontânea, vívida e autêntica. Não tem comparação.
Tens mesma idade que eu Pri, 37 Anos, somos de 1985, essa Música é de 1986, só hoje eu já ouvi umas 4, 5 seguidas, vício e o melhor nunca enjoa hehe ✌🏽😉
Vivemos a MELHOR época. 👍🤣
I am 25, but the 80s were another realm.
I can't stop listening, thinking of what I would do in that age, sweet nostalgic vibe engulfs me with respect to the seniors of the era. We love y'all❤
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were/ are masters of their craft, and the vocals are perfect too. This is one of the greatest songs of all time.
True, these 2 masters were both from the school of Prince's music ... the Minneapolis Sound.
🎯
Those two producing music even last couple decades would made things like updated 80s w/o uncommon sense Hip Hop words.
They had their own sound. Janet new edition etc
This song gave me chills… I was a young girl when my mom would play this… it took me back to such a happy time in my life… how I wish I could go back … certain love ones would be alive younger and vibrant…. The power of music is beautiful
Music is our only timeline to the past😢
🥰
What a pretty breathtaking woman ,hello my darling
I swear the music from the 80's never gets old. I need a time machine.
UA-cam is a time machine .
It's the synths. Still used today.

totaly rite
This song is simply beautiful. It encapsulates what it means to be human.
Really? Wouldn’t you say that most humans spread ugliness rather than beauty? I mean, take black culture for instance.
This is the jam, This is a timeless eighties song, Credit Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis at their finest in producing this great track that never gets old.
sou pai do gabriel e desde que ouvi essa música em 88 não canso de ouvir e ádmirar os sons dos instrumentos , mesmo com as tecnologias de hoje jamais vão conseguir fazer igual, hoje infelizmente são tudo computadorizados, e antigamente eles usavam 3 coisas, o don, os dedos e a dedicação, hoje voçe não vê graça nenhuma , por isso só curto músicas românticas das décadas de 80 e 90, não tem comparação, em todos os sentidos.
Your so right about that I loved the song from day 1 and listening to it today Year 2021.CLASSIC. SONG.🔈🔉🎙️📻🎵🎵🎼.
I had no idea Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced this song. Thank you for that piece of information.
I never knew Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis produce this.
Human League , Spandau Ballet , Depeche Mode , ABC , Tears For Fears , Maddona... thats just a few .. nothing like them in this day
I agree with you...please add also Bon Jovi, U2...hoooo my God
I hope the younger generations take note and somehow keep this type of music alive
I’m of an age where the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s all still find a place on my playlists, but every generation has it’s day. Where I think music lost it’s way in the 90’s, there are still songs that I like and that applies to the 2000’s, 2010 up to today.
We saw Spamdau Ballet a couple of years ago. Still rocking. Howard Jones too.
@@jeffkramer3232 I'm definitely into mostly 80s and 90s and some 70s but occasionally I find songs from other decades I like

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production
I am listening and in 2024
This song has been stuck in my head for the past 3 months and has no plans of leaving. Every few hours I just sing "I am just a mannnnnn" 😂
😂 😂😂
It's REALLYYYYYYY similar to "Cause' I'm a Man" by Tame Impala
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are LEGENDS!!
I wish I could hear you saying it out loud 😂
Me in "85" getting divorced and heartbroken, listening this song and all of a sudden, here come the tears again. Strange how some songs trigger memories that you thought you got over, 36 years ago.
For me it was Aerosmith's Angel. The song was popular around my sister's death and it's a hard song to listen to.
@@Moebian73 Whitesnake "is this love" for me
Happens to me a lot. Songs have a way of transporting you.
Time truly heals all wounds. Some take even longer than 38 years. But mine took 29 years. Sometimes u got to say F**k it and just let go , move on. Every minute that goes by, is another minute closer to us NO LONGER being alive.
The sound quality on this song is crystal clear!
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced it, known for Janet Jackson's album productions. You can really hear their influence here.
Every decade has their problems but life before the internet, social media and the god damn phones was REAL. Face to face human interactions. Creativity was at its best in the 80s. That's why the music was so good. Now everything is fake. Boring, zombie phone addicts everywhere you look. I am so tired of comments like 'don't romanticize the past.' If you weren't there you have no idea what you're talking about...
Yeah, everything is so real back in the day and now with that AI trend shit, everything seems completely fake and unoriginal.
Real Talk
This was the best decade for music. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
What a pretty breathtaking woman ,hello my darling
I would say the 60s and 70s were great too. After Mid 90s .. music went horrible
I completely agree. I was young with a lot of the music but I feel like I remember it like I was older. 80s had the greatest music across all genres
Sure was music has alot of heart and soul.
Absolutely
I remember growing up a little girl listening to this song and I fell in love with it, as I loved George Michael, and so many others. Still one of my favorites to this day. It's one the songs within my Pandora's playlist. I don't even bother with the new music. I open up Pandora and select an 80s artist and I listen to it all day. The 80s were the best!!!
My sentiments exactly. I think most people are like that. They tend to listen to mainly the music they grew up with. I honestly couldn't name a single song and the artist on the charts these days.

MADAM LOVELY ME I'm not sure why your comment was removed...I didn't remove it but I agree.

This song and True by Spandau Ballet are probably two of the most memorable songs from the 80s.
Oui je le pense aussi...toute une epoque!!!👍👍👍
Robert S Love the song True
...and anything by Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry...true "baby making" music!
@Carl Watkins this masterpiece is written and produced by the legends Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
along with "Glory of Love" (1986) by Peter Cetera and "Let's Hear It For The Boy (1984) by Deniece Willliams. LOL

the ladies, the band member ladies,, that blonde
This song is so true. We are meant to make so many mistakes in life. You can't get much better than that.
I grew up hearing this song incessantly but only now as a middle aged adult does it really hit home as I find myself in this scenario..
