The Killers - Human (Official Music Video) 

Played this at my Dads funeral. He loved this song. He was 80 years old and music was his life.

I can’t explain how nostalgic this song is for me.

Who’s still here in 2030?

Who’s still here in 2024?

when I was little (now I am 14 years old) I listened to this song with my dad and told him I would have to put it back. my dad died 4 years ago, and since then I've been looking for this song, sometimes remembering small parts of this song. today I found it. I'm crying❤️

The song is asking the question: Are we free, or are we subjects of society? Human means we can do what we want when we want. Dancer is referring to a puppet dancing on string. Having someone move you were they want you to go, thinking for you, and living our life like a routine that is all planned out. If you listen to the other lyrics you can see that dancer is actually referring to a puppet. "Cut the cord" or let us free is essentially what he is saying.

This was my wifes favorite song. I hope she's dancer now. By that I mean I hope her soul is free to fly among the angels in heaven with her family and friends. I'll always miss you baby!

In memory of Tyler ❤

FAQ -The correct lyrics are "are we human, or are we dancer" -The above line was inspired by a quote from Hunter S. Thompson, saying America is "raising a generation of dancers". Dancers is used to symbolize that we live to meet expectations, like we're choreographed. (up to interpretation?) -In my personal opinion, the word "dancer" was used instead of "dancers" for a reason. It is used to let us know he is not talking about the profession or hobby, but rather a state of being (like a species?). This way it matches how he used "human" instead of "humans". -Yes, The Killers are the best band ever.

When this Song was played in Radio the world was good

This song takes you to infinite levels of happiness and optimism. Definitely, the world needs more of this.

It’s criminal how underrated this song is

The killers have the best songs to listen to at night time, when you’re alone with your thoughts.. They really hit..

2009 was a great year for alternative. Coldplay, muse, the killers all hits

When I was a sophomore in high school back in 2008 my girlfriends dad passed away in a tragic car crash. I still remember riding in my parents car to my girlfriends house to comfort her and this song playing. I will forever remember this song because of that day.

Once at the mall, while I was lining up for the cashier, this song started playing on the radio. I couldn’t help but sing along to myself. Then another voice-a man-in the line started singing along, too. It was such a feel-good moment-two humans who didn’t know each other, connected by The Killers through this song. I was smiling inside the whole time, and I bet the other The Killers fan was, too. =)

My sister passed away when i was 2 years old. My mom recorded me saying "this song reminds me of my sister" when i was 9 years old. My mother was shocked because me and my sister had a good bond when she was born. She used to cry a lot but when i was there to play with her she would start laughing and smiling. At my 10th birthday my mom and dad gave me a cd with The Killers - Human on it. Everytime something sh*t happens this song will come on the radio ( like right now i broke my thumb ). Me and my mom were riding to the hospital and my mother turned on the radio, this song came up and i had that several times. And when this song comes up i feel something in my body. And then is when i know i have a beautiful sister angel standing on my shoulder. I believe in miracles, sometimes miracles are closer then you think. I love you Eva R.I.P 11-06-2004 You will for always be my angel❤

This is one of those bands, where every song is just gold

My nana passed away on her 73rd birthday 16th December 2023. She loved this song. She was such a beautiful person taken way too soon. She was so full of life and so youthful at heart. I’ll miss you for the rest of my life Nana. Love you forever and always❤️

I’m 74 and love this piece of music 😀

The most British band that isn’t British

"...and I'm oooon myyyy knees, lookin for the answer, are we human, or are we hamsters?"

Coming back here 13 years later feels like going on a nostalgia trip, what a song to be remembered.

I love the killers

Listening to this in 2020. Still my favourite song nearly 12 years later

So beautiful. This song was played during the funeral of my dear friend.

Time machine, back to 2009. Let’s go

Close you're eye clear you're heart 💚🍃

so you stay like 5 years without listening. Then you come and you just still remenber all the lyrics

i didnt come here from anywhere, i came here bc its a fucking good song

This video was filmed at Goblin Valley State Park in Utah. My last time there was in April, 2012 when I took my Troop of Boy Scouts there for spring break. We had a wonderful time exploring the goblins and hoodoos, camping, and hiking slot canyons in the San Rafael Reef. Little did I know I would lose one of my Scouts to suicide 5 months later. Watching this video brought back so many memories of better times. Grief truly never leaves you. It's the price we pay for loving those souls whose lives are intertwined with our own. I miss you Braedon and wonder often who you would be today. You were an amazing young man. You should be here. 💜

I did my best to notice When the call came down the line Up to the platform of surrender I was broad, but I was kind And sometimes I get nervous When I see an open door Close your eyes Clear your heart Cut the cord Are we human? Or are we dancer? My sign is vital My hands are cold And I'm on my knees Looking for the answer Are we human? Or are we dancer? Pay my respects to grace and virtue Send my condolences to good Give my regards to soul and romance They always did the best they could And so long to devotion You taught me everything I know Wave goodbye Wish me well You got to let me go Are we human? Or are we dancer? My sign is vital My hands are cold And I'm on my knees Looking for the answer Are we human? Or are we dancer? Will your system be alright When you dream of home tonight? There is no message we're receiving Let me know, is your heart still beating? Are we human? Or are we dancer? My sign is vital My hands are cold And I'm on my knees Looking for the answer You've got to let me know Are we human? Or are we dancer? My sign is vital My hands are cold And I'm on my knees Looking for the answer Are we human? Or are we dancer? Are we human? Or are we dancer? Are we human? Or are we dancer?

Played this at my sons funeral. Filled the house with this song for 3 months in his teens. He died late teens.

I remember listening to this song on the radio every morning when I was 12... Now I'm 20... Fuck, I'm old.

When I first moved to Las Vegas in 2001 I saw The Killers playing - this is 100% true - playing at an outside patio of a Starbucks. Needless to say their performance was free!

Morpho made me come here. Haven't heard this in forever.

Everyone seems to be asking so I looked it up, and found this, "The lyric “Are we human, or are we dancer?” was inspired by a quote from legendary “gonzo journalist” Hunter S. Thompson. The original quote…if it ever existed is "America is raising a generation of dancers, afraid to take one step out of line."

Are we helium, or are we denser?

The iconic (and slightly ungrammatical) first line of the chorus references a quote by Hunter S. Thompson: "America is raising a generation of dancers, afraid to take one step out of line." So it can be understood to mean "Are we still human or are we mindless machines who do as they're told?".

My estimate is that The Killers should be eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2029. If they do not get inducted on their very first try, there is something definitely wrong! One of the best bands going today! ❤

Its 2016 and this song is still awesome! I remember when I first heard it and saw it on the tv on a music channel. This is how I discovered this song and band. I kept hearing over and over until I finally started to like it, at first I didn't care. This was the very first Killers song I heard. This song brings back good old memories of 2010's.

oh the nostalgia...

I listened to this song 10-12 years ago when I was little, and now I am a grown man. 😢😢 Where are good songs with good vocals? The world does not need trashy love songs or breakup songs.

Memories 😢

OBOBOBOBO!

We are dancing humans. *Blows mind*

Dad used to play this whenever he drove with me in the car, felt like I was inside a movie most of the time lol. Great times, they'll never make masterpieces like these anymore.

Love the song 🎵 100%yes love John

this song is over 10 years old, I remember when it was new, absolute classic

Grandad d's favourite song , played at his funeral , makes me love listening to it even more reminds me of him.

Great lyrics 😢

This song goes way beyond the notion of LOVE! We truly are Human. 😊

Are we Human? Or are we Hamsters? My fur is cuddly, My nose is cold, And I'm on my wheel looking for the answer. Are we Human, or are we Hamsters?

This was my wife's favorite song ever. She died two and a half months ago. This makes me both 😢 sad and happy.

Here in 2023 and I was 12 when this song came out haha still a tune. 26 and ready for another 14 years to come back to this song 👴🏼

The Killers have so many bangers, I can't get enough.

I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FUCKIN' SONG SINCE 4 FUCKING YEARS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT I CAN DIE IN PEACE

I lost my dad in 2014 when I was 14 it was heartbreaking 🤍 this song played in the background the last time I was with him 🤍 he hugged me and kissed my forehead and told me he loved me 🤍🤍 Today this song plays in the background of all the achievements in my life and I just know he is with me for example ~ The first time I drove in my car with my full license it played on the radio - The time I went into the back to get my business card for my small business it played in the back never have I heard music in the bank - on my 18th birthday it played on the radio when I was getting ready to go out - or when I brought my little sister on her first holiday since we lost him the singer at the Irish bar sang it as soon as we got our drinks and took our seat without us requesting it since the night he said goodbye to me that night on the 18th of may it has played anytime I was sad or accomplished something it’s his way of letting me know he is with me 🤍🤍🤍 Thank you so much for making this song it means everything to me when I hear it 🤍🤍🤍

Love you ❤❤

I danced with my brother Billy at a family "do" to this song.. My brother knew all the words so I was well impressed. Sadley Billy is no longer with us, he died August 2022 aged 73... lovely memories for me with this song... I am now approaching my 74th birthday. birthday... miss Billy so much..xxxx

As a kid in your parents car driving home late at night looking out of the car window

I remember this song 6 years ago, damn time went quick.

My mother in law chose this as one of her funeral songs. It was perfect!

It’s worth just focusing on the drumming and bass of this band when you listen. Very creative drumming on almost ever song.

Im crying :'O cant handle the amount of nostalgia... i used to do road trips with my grampa while listening to this...

I watched this clip in 2010. I was 10 Now I'm 21 and I will love The Killers the rest of my life

THIS MASTER PIECE WILL KEEP ACROSS THE TIME....!!!

The Killers are like the British Invasion band from the Great American Southwest.

Whoever is listening to this you have a great taste in music

This band is so respectful towards their audience ! No ego issues. Just art and search for humanity.

In 2008 my family had finally moved into a nice big house. We were all under the same roof and my sister and I became close like best friends. She loved this song and band, and Guitar Hero of course. Flash forward to today, I haven't seen her since 2020. She decided to leave in the middle of the night with nothing but a note saying she'd reach out if she decides to. We haven't heard from her since. It's a never ending pain, wondering how she's doing or if she's even alive. I can't listen to these songs too much for that reason 😞

I’m 74 and love this song,

The Killers are one of the best bands/sounds of the 21st century. They took alternative to a vibrant level that no one else has been able to accomplish. This song (as well as many others of theirs) is solid gold music making. Touches the soul.

For about 5 years I thought he said 'Are we human, or are we dancers?' I'm stupid.

Such a masterpiece! Underrated in the shadow of mr.brightside which of course is also fantastic! I love their songs with that nightime nostalgic vibe. They aint ever get old! If you listen to this in 2023, ya know who u r ❤.

This is the song that kinda remains dormant for a couple years, then you just remember it and you think its the best god damn tunes on the planet

After years of not hearing this song it just randomly popped up in my head so now here I am in 2020.

The best spiritual band out there.

the killers will live on.

For years I've never understood this song so When I was younger, I replaced 'dancer' with 'hamsters' and my family adopted it so every time it comes on the radio, are we human? Or are we hamsters? Who knows!

I never had heard this song until last Saturday. I am from Brazil but I was in Rome with my wife celebrating our 10th-year anniversary and there were 2 street artists playing this song in this square near Sisto Bridge. It was the perfect day, the sunset was beautiful over the water of the Tiber River. We just grab 2 beers, sat down and enjoyed that moment. This song hit me in its first words. I spent 10 days in Italy but this is the particular moment that will make me remember this trip forever. How magic is a song in our lives?

Thank god

This song makes me feel like a kid again. Best song of my childhood

frick that coat looks so good on brandon

This song will carry us through. Thank you the Killers 😊

Me. Having a moment with this one.

I just stayed up for 4 hours trying to remember what this song. Couldn’t remember the lyrics or the name. Only the video. Took me 4 hours to remember. It’s 2am, 100% worth. This is an absolute banger

I miss songs like these

I was so excited to replay this song. I got up and danced around my bedroom. I felt sexy. The whole thing is such a monumental shift in popular consciousness, to community and mature love. Thank you so much.

I class this song as the one that made me a proper Killers fan, obviously as a kid I heard Brightside and Somebody Told me etc on the radio, but when I started getting a little older Human was my jam along with Read My Mind, and when Brandon went solo and had songs like Crossfire and Only The Young, I become a giant fan, I had the Day and Age/Battle Born albums and to this day they are my fav band by far, can't stop listening, Brandon is a genius and can sing anything, his voice is scary good and he's so humble.

as a black person from south africa , this is the only and the best song that rocked my feet in 2009 , it was the best song of 2009 for me.

I was born in 1948. When this song came on the radio, it was a buzz, like hearing a favourite hit in the 1960s, and that's a rare thing nowadays. It's tremendously musical, but the best thing about it for me was that I feel the deep meaning, without having to hear it spelt out in ten thousand words (as is the current fashion).

I legit forgot about this song until I heard it at a restaurant. Couldn’t help my self but start to play it again.

Heard this at my friends funeral, I can't belive I had never heard it before. I'm hooked and listen to this track every single night...Love it 💓💓

I loooooove this song! ❤️

Growing up actually sucks, this song was my childhood..

St. Peter is a living legend ‼

Just seen them live last night , the Most incredible Live performance Ever !!!! Period

My nana had this as her ring tone YEARS ago it always reminds me of her

I heard this when I was young and I'm still young but this song is very dear to my heart
