Human or Dancer?

Love the blue skies! Love the bearable temps! Love the running 2.5 straight miles...NO WALKING! It was the best I've done since I started running last September. WOOT! Now I know I can do a 5K in May.

I created an On-The-Go playlist this morning. I always wondered what that was until I spent an hour at the Genious Bar at the Apple store last Saturday patiently waiting for my Genious to figure out how to get my iphone to send email. The store has screens that give helpful tips and I read how to set up the list...and as with most things apple, it was pretty easy. So, I had this relatively random list of songs to run to this morning but I wanted all with a positive message of some sort.

First off was Tony Bennett singing "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive." GREAT SONG! (also has been sung by everyone from Ella Fitzgerald to Willie Nelson):

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

After that a long "Burn Baby Burn (Disco Inferno)" that got me up to the TOP of the very long hill:

The heat was on (burnin’),
rising to the top, huh!
Everybody's goin' strong (uhu hu hu)
And that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn! - Disco inferno!

I think that worked a whole lot better than the Sound of Music's "Climb Every Mountain." What do you think?

But my favorite song was from a group I know very little about and "Human" is the only song of theirs that I have.

Human
The Killers

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes Clear your heart...Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

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 goodbye
Wish me well..You've gotta let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
You've gotta let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

HUMAN

I'm really not sure what to make of this song but I like it. I'm fascinated by the use of the word "dancer" rather than the expected "dancers."

I did my best to notice when the call came down the line. Up to the platform of surrender I was brought...And sometimes I get nervous when I see an open door...Close your eyes, clear your heart, cut the cord.

Is it about a "leap of faith" to believe in something? Someone? "The" someone?

I don't know...what do you think? What do you know about the Killers?
