Like the last several days, I did not sleep well or much, I was in & out of sleeping & dreaming, or trying to; I had more dreams that I remembered, I did not record them, so now I only barely remember part of two dreams.
Dream 1
This dream took place during the day, I was at a college at the start of the semester, so I guess this was our first day or first week of college.
There was some kind of tradition / ritual / ceremony / whatever that students had to do at the start of a semester, or maybe at the start of their first semester.
“Human” is the only track on Felt Mountain with additional songwriters.
It was released as the album’s third single on 26 February 2001 and reached number 87 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song was sampled by American rapper Kanye West for his track “Freestyle 4”.
It was also used in the closing credits of the second season of the French spy show The Bureau.
“Human” received generally positive reviews from pop music critics.
Flak Magazine reviewer Eric Wittmershaus called the song a “surprisingly-daring-yet-easy-to-listen-to genre-bender” that “is easily the disc’s standout track.”[2]
Sacha Esterson of Musicomh.com described the track as “middle eastern-influenced upbeat gem” that is “particularly fantastic.”[3]
NME wrote that “Human” “sounds like Shirley Bassey, but with none of the dance nous the Welsh warbler brought to her collaboration with the Propellerheads.”[4]

T’chut… 😉
They fall From your mouth Propelled by your belly And your tongue I shiver when you shake And fold into jelly I think I loved you more than me
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
My baby cherry slipped Pass me through your fingertips Throw me down like an old rag I’m not standing Don’t look back
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
They went searching For your body They went looking but there’s nobody Who smells like you Who looks like you You’re not human…too
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
Are you human Or a dud Are you human Or d’you make it up
