"Human" by Human League with a cover by Ari Gold LEGENDARY SOUL SINGER

You just know that a group is 

gonna put out their best music 

when half of their name appears

 in the title of their song.
It is a human mantra... "the tears
i cry aren't tears of pain...
they're only to hide...
my guilt and shame...
i forgive u
now i ask the same of u
while we were apart
i was human too.

A really great cover version of this song exists by my favorite gay artist Ari Gold...  Ari is  a NY Jewish demi-GOD... hope u don't mind my saying that MR. GOLD... i saw and heard him perform at HERE LOUNGE a few years back...  he crooned and serenaded me with "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?"  a cover of the Culture Club classic.  I was in the front row u see he really didn't have a choice. hehe


Ari i hope i make u look good and proud.  We gays need to love each other as one...


PEACE MT
