Mark runs ... through life

If you remember the old American Bandstand “Rate a Record”? (between 35 and 98 - “It’s got a great beat and you can dance to it.”) Then you’re at least in your late 40’s.  I give this song “Human” by The Killers a 90.  (I won’t embarrass myself by letting you see me dance.)  A fun song and some interesting lyrics.

Hey, I know I’m behind the curve.  This song’s been out for over a year, but if they don’t play it on “lite rock, less talk”  I probably don’t hear it.

When I was a teenager, in the 70’s, you could seldom understand the lyrics. (Aside - Remember when MTV started?  I was in love with Martha Quinn. You kids “google her”.)  They could have been reading the Wall Street Journal at 110 beats a minute and it could still be in the top 40.  Now I’ve got a higher appreciation for lyrics.

I was struck by this line -

“And I’m on my knees looking for the answer, are we human or are we dancer?”

On my knees…the best place to find the answer!

What do you think?

Come run with me!
