Fitting my research on romance/love/relationships & modern capitalism (I am preparing an interview with Eva Illouz for today), here a few lines from the last Killers song “Human”:
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 good bye, wish me well
I actually looked the lyrics up because I couldn’t believe he is really singing “are we human or are we dancer” – but he is. So, as a dancer, I wonder why I am not human?
