The Human League - Empire State Human (Remastered 2003) 

I still own the Korg 770 featured in this video, bought from the band in the v early 80s. Working beautifully and still using it.

This is for me their most underrated song. What an amazing and catchy song, I can't get enough of it!

Reproduction and Travelogue were both ground breaking LPS . Early Human League were just superb

I’m instantly transported back to my formative teenage years in 1978/79 discovering early electronica. Being Boiled and Empire State Human got me into The Human League. Still sounds great today ❤

Was cutting edge at the time and still stands up all these years later

Reproduction is one of the greatest albums of all time. It was released in 1979 but always sounds like the future.

I've always loved the early League. It's a shame they don't play much of it live any more.

Human league still one of the most severely underrated bands of Modern Ages

Yep - 41 years old, still sounds like the future. Synths sounds are hypnotising. You'd love to go for a night out with The HL.

I'm 49 years old. I was seeing Bono's Surrender show in NYC and this song played before he came out. I absolutely love it and can't stop playing it

Early Human League is the best Human League.

New wave at it's best and Phil Oakey - what a handsome man.

Iconic Human League along with Being Boiled.

That's one hell of an infectious chorus!

This is a song! You can rock out and sing along with this!😅So happy to find this.

That elevator stage in Lollipop Chainsaw always been pain in the ass & this song has stuck in my head somehow, in a good way.

One of my favorite songs.

They were just brilliant. I also love that you can hear his Yorkshire accent slightly in the spoken part.

Damn,the memories, I was 18 and went crazy over this.

Real talent, real musicians, real instruments, REAL MUSIC

A huge influence for me. It sounds incredible. I still hear this being played in clubs as it has one hell of a synth bassline. So catchy.

This song is perfect, can't beat that era

I love this song. I had the privilege of hearing Phil sing it live in 2010

2:12 Director: Hey Martyn, how many synths you want? Martyn:Yes.

Absolutely fantastic that someone out there had the taste to request Johnny Walker to play this today 9th January 2022 on Sounds Of The 70's! Good on yer mate!

Finally the official video on the web, Have this album and love it!!!! First album is the best in my opinion.

THANK YOU Human League for changing my life with your music so a head of its time

Being 17 again and listening to one of the greatest albums ever

Four favourite Human League tracks: Sound of the Crowd, Love Action, Empire State Human & Tell Me When !

Just awesome,this band are the dogs... still love em all these years later

Was there when they performed this at Hammersmith Palais 1980 - holiday 80 tour - not boasting just lucky "!!

This song got engrave into mind while trying to obtain No Fear Of Heights trophy for Lollipop Chainsaw. What a banger!! ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Fabulous song. I remember dancing to it in Heroes club in Sunderland when I was 19, followed by Planet Earth, Planet Claire, Hong Kong Garden, and Tainted Love.

Recall the genre+era was crazy then it's a classic in its own feat😊

Total new wave

That is actually a magical incantation chant...

Travelogue et reproduction , les 2 meilleurs albums de Human League . Je ne m'en lasserai jamais .

My favorite early era song!

Master piece

My favourite song of all time

This is a bop

I've discovered this song yesterday. I can't stop listening to it!

“With concentration my size increased”

Still a classic after all these years. x

I love this

One of the greatest albums ever,never tire of it 👍

Classic song.

Since I was very young I realized I never wanted to be human size So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams They just remind me of how small I am Because of this longing in my heart I'm going to start the growing up I'm going to grow now and never stop Think like a mountain, grow to the top Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall With concentration My size increased And now I'm fourteen stories high At least!! Empire state human Just a bored kid I'll go to Egypt to be A pyramid Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall Brick by brick Stone by stone Growing till he's fully grown Brick by brick Stone by stone Growing till he's fully grown Fetch more water Fetch more sand Biggest person in the land Fetch more water Fetch more sand Biggest person in the land

They were super cool back then

❣️🎹❣️👏🏻😎👏🏻🕺🏻💃🏻 just Perfect!

Love the League... seeing them in Brisbane next month :)

Love and dance! We are all old together!

This is when they were fantastic

Blimey,this was the the best stuff!

superb

I grew up with this band

Great lyrics! For all the underage people(and not only) who suffer

This song rocks

Play to win. Un pedazo de canción de pop funk, con una línea de bajo y un solo de sintetizador alucinantes. Me encantan tus vídeos. Saludos desde España.

Always loved this.

Great track and still holds up . I lost my brother recently and remember him buying it back in 1980. In the year 1980 it felt like aliens had arrived on the music scene. Bands like OMD , Visage, ultravox and John Fox. A time when Britain led the way musically. Everything since has been a rehash of music from the past. Absolutely no originality today. Back then bands had the freedom to experiment and take chances. Today the charts are about cruise ship style acts and ten apenny bland singers doing vocal acrobatics.

I envy anyone who was lucky enough to see the early Human League live. There are a few decent audio bootlegs (I especially like their sparse version of 'Perfect Day'), but it must have been great to have been there, hearing it in person and with the slide projections and lighting.

Das war ihre beeindruckensde Zeit. Und diese ist zeitlos. Ich damals 18 heute 62. Welche Musiker schreibt heute Stücke die in 40 Jahren noch gehört werden.

Just outstanding, this is where it all started for me with the Human League

That kick, I bet its straight out of the box

it's Just a soooooo nice and great Song.

Amazing 💓

when start playing tracks from the first two lps i will go again . seen the dare last dare

Holy cow... I loved this as a kid

fantastic concept & video. slick and aging very well.

swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol the human league

Class.. Sheffield steel.

Dig the crazy camera work!!!! Cor Blimey, 1979 and the 80's were about to be unleashed on the world, brilliant!!

Still makes the hair on my neck stand up when that sweep kicks in

Stunningly Magnificent ❤️

Classic, thank you for my youth...

Awesome !

My youth

We danced to this at the Coatbridge hotel disco. Never got tired of it.

In 2019 I thought that it is sang by some nowadays project. Just amazing! The Human League are out of time!

With concentration... my size increased.

This song WILL get into your head

Classic

QUE MARAVILHA

My favorite The Human League song .................. greetings of Perú ...

Adelantado para esa época ¡¡

so GOOD :)

Eternal fabulousness ❤ ❤ ❤

Ooooo...the memories 🥰❤

Their most melodic tracks

Remember dancing to this at the Crazy Daisy in Sheffield then fast forward years after he met the 2 girls to set up the 2nd version of the league

I'm out there raising this song's profile all by myself by linking it at every opportunity.

K.9 .. He looked like a Robot Kerry blue! I'm in my 50s ...And ave still got a Kerry blue! Unlike the Doctor! Bring back K.9!

(INTENSE FLASHBACKS OF THAT ONE GODDAMN MINIGAME)

I’ve been listening to this for years since Lollipop Chainsaw came out.

Lollipop Chainsaw ❤😆😜

Awesome still 2022

Only just discovered the creators of this song after hearing it for decades. I always thought the lyrics were talk talk talk

CDs one and two are primitive but rewarding.next three are perfect.

Heard this song for the first time when Bono used it as the intro to his Stories of Surrender shows in 2022 & 2023. Kind of a hilarious self-own, as he's 5' 6½"
