I remember when the Windows XP Operating System first came out they packaged it with “Like Humans Do,” a single from Look Into the Eyeball to promote both the album and the new Windows Media Player.

I was pretty young when I first heard this song after discovering it by accident on my PC, but I loved it and played it on repeat several times a day. At that age, I wasn’t an avid music listener, so it was one of the first songs I became obsessed with. It’s a great art pop track with an expectedly charismatic vocal performance from former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne. This relatively modern context, he’s reminiscent of David Bowie.

The witty lyrics are at once cynical yet peaceful, dryly musing about the repetitive mundanities of American homelife with bright instrumentation and wispy vocal melodies that suggest even such boredom is a life to envy. As I grow older, it’s a sentiment I increasingly empathize with. What a happy song. Sounds like rays of sunshine.

So, I gave the source album a roll years all these years later because it had deserved a rolling, and I came to find that it was one of those albums: where the single(s) are so far above the rest of the songs that the album isn’t particularly worth listening to. Fans of the album may want to call my love of “Like Humans Do” purely nostalgic, but these are my honest opinions. While this is a decent art-pop record, it isn’t artsy enough to intrigue, nor does it have abundant, memorable hooks as a pop album should.

While I can’t recommend Look Into the Eyeball to anyone who isn’t already a converted David Byrne fan (and if you are, you are likely familiar with this album already), I’ll still stand by its brilliant pop single, “Like Humans Do.”

(Also, when I was a kid, I somehow misheard one of the lines in the song as “people in my pants,” and singing along to it got me scolded once. “I’m achin’, I’m shakin’, I’m breakin’ like, humans do”… I felt it here first.)
