Human League, The - The Stars Are Going Out Lyrics

Interesting thing about this song, it’s about their falling popularity at the time and they considered the song “filler material” for the album. I think the track is brilliant!

Probably they don't sing this song now,cause they seem so happy now

They're super cool,

I love this song so much!

This is still one of the best songs out there, and one of the best DAMN ones to DANCE TO!

This is simply stunning and shows how brilliant the Human League really are.

Roger A. Mueller Hiya m8 I have had the good fortune 2have met my idiols i.e. the Human League face 2face and 5times in Joanne Catheralls case and 4times in Susan Sulley's case.

This is such an awesome tune from a great time in my life. I had forgotten it for years and then the tune found its way into my memory today. Funny how the brain works sometimes. It is now been "Favorited" so the song doesn't get lost in the grey matter again.

"The Stars Are Going Out has always been one of my fav Human League tracks. This Jools live TV performance is a masterclass."

And he is quite right m8. I am a mega big Human League fan . I have been lucky enough to have met each member of the Human League. And 6 times in Joanne Catheralls case. And I have got something in common with the 2 Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Joanne Catherall ♥️ and Susan Sulley ♥️. Apart from being human ofcose. And that's our tanlet is self t0. I am a self t0 sound affect impressionist 4 I can copy the sounds of a drum kit 2 my music on my iPod. Which includes the Human League of corse and Susan Sulley and Joanne Catherall r very very good self t0 singers. I have nicknamed both of the Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Joanne Catherall ♥️ and Susan Sulley ♥️ Queen. And Phillip Oakey King. Ather the game of Chess. I have seen the Human League play live 18 times. And I even think that Joanne Catherall ♥️. Has got some magic powers inside her ♥️ 2 wards me. 4 Joanne Catherall (my hero) 4 ever making a dream of mine come true for me. 2 meet up and chat with them. And 4 the best night of my life so far.

But quite simply. Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️. U3 ✨ r very very big in my ♥️. And r so worth it. From Paul Eyles from Portsmouth Xx ♥️ XX

Master class performance. At their peak. Skilled, rational, yet with genuine sentiment

The white zone is only for loading and the rest will follow eventually.

Ahhh the machines and rhythm computers ... I love'em!! Thanks!

Joanne Catherall, deeply sexy - at least up until this era in the early 90's

escaton74 True m8 and I've had the good luck 2have met my Ali time hero's ie The Human League ather a Ace Human League gig and 5times in Joanne Catheralls case .And hopefully I'll get 2meet up and talk 2them again. And hopefully I will get 2do my drum kit inpression 4them and ask them what they thr0 of it. I have seen the Human League play live 16times now. And I have adored every 1of them. And I really think that 1man in my heart and Stay with me 2night. Should of got 2number 1. From Paul Eyles yr number 1fan 4ever Quran Joanne Sweetheart 4ever. And fr3 of charge of corse.

the H/L are part of me .....

One of the most hipnotic moments in music, I know. Greatness.

Absolutely breathe taking. I really love this group. I've seen them 8 times in 14 years. It's not enough lol! I'm a metal head by rights, but I've loved thl since I was old enough to love music. I have their entire collection of music and it'll never tire or grow old. xx

Hiya NAT sweetheart. I love the Human League so much and I will do 4ever. Ace band. And much much better than anything that Simon Carol can come out with. I have been 2c the Human League play live 18 times now. And I have loved every 1 of them . And Nat I have got a lot to thank Joanne Catherall ♥️ epy 4. 4 so kindly making a dream of mine 2 come true for me to meet up and talk to them. And in Joanne Catheralls ♥️ case 4 the best night of my life so far. I think that the Human League R very underrated. And should have been at the number 1 spot. With the Human League's single ie 1 man in my ♥️. Which is my favourite Human League song. I have told Susan Sulley ♥️ 2 her face and in front of Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️ my hero 4 ever. That I love the Human League's single ie 1 man in my ♥️. And Queen Susan Sulley ♥️ was chuffed to bits.

Such an honest and heartbreaking presentation of stardom's decline. I applaud you Phil for these lyrics and presenting them with such grace. C'mon people, that's what this song's about.

some serious kit ,way ahead of its time back then.

Electric Russell - I remember him on the Weekenders!

@debsco1978 I agree!! Even now at 55 he's kept his body fit and his voice sounds as sexy as ever. I applaud hiim for not letting himself go like so many other rockstars.

@svenchester

I absolutely agree * The first tiem I saw this my eyes were on the drummer as watching his set up and the way he plays is nothing short of MAGICAL!

The mystical and utterly superb 'The Stars Are Going Out'. My favourite track from their 1990 album 'Romantic'. Just beautiful * BEST elctronic band ever, forget Depeche Mode!

@old64er

Cheers... nice of you to find out;-)

@macintosser
The drummer is Fergus Durand, I just asked the guitar player (Russ Dennett) in this performance.

@debsco1978 so fit!

endless class.

BIGG HUMAN LEAGUE,,PERÙ

Anyone here knows who the drummer is?

its tongue and cheek i guess,very good song quite witty if u think its about it

Self fulfilling prophecy. Unfortunate. Bands should never sing about their own demise. Enjoyable sound though. And I like their album Secrets.

I've got the Human League's Secrets cd signed by the Human League. Great band. I love the 2 Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Joanne Catherall ♥️ and Susan Sulley ♥️.

does anyone know who the players are,im sure the drummer has played with duran duran on the wedding album tour.

can you get tis on mp3 ,ever noticed the syn bass line .think beyonce might have pinched this for sweet dreams.

I agree. (Heart Like a Wheel? what does that even mean????)

Joanne looks hotter than Susan is this vid. Great band

my first CD from them had this on it, it was on a bottle of wine my parents got from I believe Cooks wine in USA. I instantly fell in love!!!

THIS SONG IS ONE OF THE LEAGUES LOST CLASSICS AS IT IS FROM THE DELETED LP CALLED ''ROMANTIC'', IT'S FULL OF DREAD FOR THE FUTURE AND ABOUT NOT BEING THE IN THING ANYMORE WITH FAB LYRICS LIKE 'we used to be bad but bad was just a fad' and 'we used to shine so bright but now we shake with fright', STILL A SONG THAT THEY DO LIVE AND ONE OF MY FAVES....NOEL GAINS

This was one of the better songs on 'Romantic?' It's a shame they never released it as a single. Much better than Heart Like a Wheel anyway

Hiya m8 I really love the B side of ♥️ like a☸️. Which is Rebound. The Human League r fantastic. And I love them so much. And Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️ epy 4 the best night of my life so far. And 4 making a dream of mine 2 come true for me to meet up and talk to them.

One of my fave HL songs and such an awesome performance! Phil looks like he could use a steak though ;)

Agree, this one, Heart Like A Wheel, Tell Me When all sound better when done in person. Romantic though is an outstanding album as all of theirs are!!

I've got the Human League's Romantic album cover signed by the Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Queens Joanne Catherall ♥️ my hero, Susan Sulley ♥️ and king Philip Oakey 2 l really adore the Human League's Romantic tracks. Men R dreamers and Rebound. Great band . Love u Queen Joanne Catherall Sweet ♥️

brilliant record

This is one of my fav HL tracks been to see them live half a dozen times now but never seen them do this track live which is a shame

"we used to be so hot - a million kilowatts or more!"

Breathtaking!! Best electronic band ever! This is a superb performance, the best I've ever seen on Jools Holland. Keep your eyes on the drummer, maybe its just me but I've never seen anything like it!

Absolutely Superb!! Better than the recorded version...only Phil could choose one of their lesser known tracks to perform on this show...Genius!!

Thanks for sharing ;)

which album is this from?

I can remember i was at DMU when this first came on tv. they're much better recorded as only phil can belt it out live and keep in tune.
