HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 142 || LIKE HUMANS DO (David Bryne) | Covered by DrAySax

This song had to be the highlight of jamming during the days of Windows XP 98 and early Windows Vista. It came as a free song on Windows PCs. As a young boy back then I'll play it over and over again. We had little access to songs unlike today when songs are easily found online and one could have loads of songs on your mobile phone.
We had to put on PCs to play digital songs on computer speakers😅.

The song was released in 2001 and the radio edit was adopted by Windows to showcase the new Windows Media Player back then.

The lyrics majored on trying to love humans from a non-human perspective, but yet they fail, only for one to accept them for what they are.

As we go into the new year 2023 and beyond, let us learn to love each other and have the best hopes for one another even in our weaknesses.

We all have one life to live and will only be remembered for who we were.

Enjoy my saxophone cover!

Happy New Year in advance!

Lyrics (Musixmatch)

For millions of years in millions of homes
A man loved a woman, a child then was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like humans do
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So slip inside this funky house
Oh-oh-oh-oh
The dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm aching and I'm shaking and I'm breaking
Like humans do
I'm aching, I'm shaking, I'm breaking
Like humans do
I work and I sleep and I dance and I'm dead
I'm eating, I'm laughing, I'm lovin' myself
I never watch TV except when I'm stoned
Like humans do
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So slip inside this funky house
Oh-oh-oh-oh
The dishes in the sink
The TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
And don't go up the stairs
I'm aching, I'm shaking, I'm breaking
Like humans do
Ooh, I'm aching, I'm shaking, I'm breaking
Like humans do
Ooh
I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out
Oh-oh-oh-oh
So slip inside this funky house
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pouring in
On a woman and a man
I'm aching, I'm shaking, I'm breaking
Like humans do
I'm breathing in
I'm breathing out
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Thanks for listening and thanks for 2022!
