A Great driving beat, gets to you and brings you along in this journey into "human" behavior. If you don't know or understand the lyrics, I can't help you. It goes much deeper than the surface.

The question is (of course) "Are we human or ...".
The first time I really listened to the song, (a) I played it about ten times in a row, (b) every time I played it I could hardly keep from weeping, and (c) I immediately thought of Jackson Brown's "For A Dancer". Please listen to that song in conjunction with this one (the version on the album Western Wall by Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris blows me away).
So, the answer. When we are born, we are human. When we die we are dancer. And in between we may be either, both, or neither, depending on who we are, what we have become.

I've always been a huge fan of The Killers, but Human is the song that really made me love them. It's incredible song, with insightful and meaningful lyrics. We need more songs like these in modern music

Ehh...it plays...
Just a download, not CD quality. Clearly missing information from what you'd get on a CD. Luckily, it's a great song, which is why I bought it.

They KILL this one
This is one of my favorite songs by the Killers. The music and vocals mesh perfect and are never overdone.

Need it!
I, somehow, deleted a download I had from when this song originally came out. So, I went to amazon.com where I knew they had a track, and bought it. Read more

Deeply Moving
I love this song. It's beautiful and moving and I recommend it to everyone. (A 16 word minimum on this review is a little ridiculous.)

Are we Human?
Or are we dancers? Great song from the Killers. Best from them since Hot Fuss, though they've gone a bit soft since.

Love the lyrics
The lyrics to this song. Many think that being the dancer is the good choice and many of them are in this dance category. Read more

Tope ten song of all time
This song has everything. Great vocals, great instrumentation and great lyrics. It is one of my top ten of all time. "Are we human or are we dancer?" Great lyric!

Are we human?
Day & Age is just great! All the songs on this album are worth listening and at least for me... everytime there's a new album from The Killers I first get to think it won't be as... Read more

Are We Human or Are We Dancer?--4 1/2 Stars
"Human" is the latest single release from The Killers. The song has a driving beat, a melody with a retro-70s feel, and lyrics that have several layers of meaning. Read more
