“Human Contact” by The Howl & The Hum – A Song Feature

     “Human Contact” is a hook-filled single from The Howl & The Hum. The song is powerful from every dimension. Sometimes alone and more often in combination, the percussion, guitar, and bass drive “Human Contact” with a conviction to purpose. The same is true of the vocals during the verses, while the higher pitch, more relaxed chorus chant of “human contact” provides contrast.

     The Howl & The Hum is based in York, UK. The members of the band are Sam Griffiths (vocals, guitar), Conor Hirons (guitar), Bradley Blackwell (bass), and Jack Williams (drums).

Lyrics of “Human Contact” by The Howl & The Hum

On Monday night I escaped my cell

A peculiar hell I had built myself

I stumbled out into the high street rush

[All I’m craving is a human touch]

Cos I’ve been trying to get my head screwed tight

Away from people, away from life

Now I don’t know what kind of world I’m from

But it’s not this one, no it’s not this one,

All I need’s a little

Human contact [4x]

Well, I see flesh reacting, I hear skin and bone

I see bodies and bodies and fingers on phones

Digits digitizing singing knuckles on ass

I feel like I look out at the world like through glass

Until one day our eyes meet and combine

Two bodies, two hosts gracelessly intertwine

There’s something so strange about feeling alive

There’s somebody home and they’re deathly deprived of

Human contact [8x]

I see a hand reach out

I see a leg reach out

I see a limb reach out

But I know it’s nothing to die for, die for

Give me your hand reach out

Give me your hand reach out

Give me your hand reach out

To you give me something to die for?

Something to feel alive [Repeating]
