Are we human????

by Andrew on Mar.17, 2009, under Songs

I recorded my piano and vocal version of “Human” (by The Killers) a few days ago. Believe it or not inspiration for this recording actually came from Jonathan Ross’ show on the BBC where his crazy “four poofs and a piano” did part of the chorus when some guest was introduced. I actually liked the simple piano arrangement so I looked up the chords and give the song a shot.
The original song I think is great and so far the best I have heard from The Killers. The lyrics are perhaps not as universal as could be (there is apparently a very specific meaning for “or are we dancer”, which is perhaps far fetched). However I love the melody and certainly parts of the lyrics (“My hands are cold”, “and I am on my knees looking for the answer” etc..). To top it off playing along to this song on Guitar Hero is fun too!

Here is my version:
