Music videos were something I didn’t really watch much of anymore but I’ve been checking some out lately and have been surprised by how good some of them still are, I really thought music videos had become irrelevant. Sometimes you have music videos inspired of that seem inspired by something else and in this case Highly Suspect’s “My Name is Human” is very similar in style to Ghost in the Shell. This is by no means anything official but the similarities are there.
You have a man who is basically building female robot from scratch until the end when it’s finished and it basically looks like a human. While it’s likely not an android like Matoko; A lot of the imagery seems to be straight out of Ghost in the Shell, including the movie. Some might even bring some Matrix comparisons with the completely white room and the black attire the Johnny Stevens is wearing.
But don’t take my word for it and watch it yourself, not only that but you’ll enjoy a great track while you’re at it which comes from their album “The Boy who died Wolf”:
As I mentioned a lot of the imagery reminds me of the Ghost in the Shell live action movie which also had a great trailer that used a cover of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” by KI Theory. which you can see below.
Highly Suspect My name is human Lyrics
I’m feelin’ the way that I’m feelin’ myself
Fuck everyone else
gotta remember that nobody’s better than anyone else, here
do you need some time to think it over?
Look what they do to you
Look what they do to me
You must be joking if you think that either one is free, here
Get up off your knees girl
Stand face to face with your God
And find out what you are
Hello my name is Human
Hello, my name is human
And I came down from the stars
Hello my name is human
I’m ready for love and I’m ready for war
But I’m ready for more
I know that nobodies ever been this Fucking ready before
Do you need some time to think it over
So figure it out or don’t figure it out
I figured it out
The bigger the river, The bigger the drought
Get up off your knees boy
Stand face to face with your god
And find out what you are
Hello my name is human
Hello, my name is human
And I came down from the stars
Hello my name is human
Fire world I love you Fire world
I’m up off my knees girl
I am face to face with myself
And I know who I am
And I stole the power from the sun
I am more than just a man
No longer disillusioned
I’m not asking questions
cause questions have answers
and I don’t want answers
I came down from the stars
So I’ll take my chances
And what are the chances
That I could advance
On my own circumstances
Said what are the chances
And what are the chances
Hello my name is human
And I know who I am
I’m not after answers
I’m not asking questions
So you keep your answers
So you keep your answers
I’m not asking questions
I’m taking my chances
