Customer Reviews of Human Nature

a great single
but the mixes add nothing to it really.i miss the days when a good song was able to just stand on it's own unlike now where everything gets mixed,sampled,looped&re-done to the point it's two songs in one.Madonna has been able to do well with club inspired material but these mixes don't add any flavor here.still because of the coolness of the song it's worth checking into.

Great hit song, with a lot of remixed misses
After finding Madonna's 'GHV2' to be an utter disappointment, I decided to go about starting my own 'Greatest Hits: 1990+' collection. Of course, "Human Nature" was a must-have. This song oozes sexuality and, as usual, Madonna isn't afraid to be upfront with her lyrics.

Unfortunately, this single isn't as hot as the feature song (OR its message). Many of the mixes sound identical -- mostly because they are... sort of. Tracks 1-3 are subtle variations on the Runway Mix, a take that doesn't quite complement the song. Included are two versions of the more enjoyable Howie Tee mix -- clean & dirty. However, I can't, for the life of me, understand why the inclusion of both takes was necessary. Would any Madonna fan really want to listen to the clean cut? Most likely not.

This isn't a one-star single, despite the horrible mixes. I did buy this solely for the Radio Version, but a few remixed gems would have been a nice bonus. Three stars for a great song and a nice collectible (for those who do that sort of thing).

Madonna's greatest girl-power anthem!
In August 1995, Madonna released the fourth and final single from her album, Bedtime Stories. The song was Human Nature, and it peaked at No.8 in the UK, spending a total of just five weeks on the chart. The song was officially the closing point of Madonna's sex-era. She wanted to close it quietly without any fuss or commotion, but she wanted to make sure that her actions were justified - and she certainly did that, in a very tongue-in-cheek way.

Human Nature begins forcefully with a surging beat and Madonna instantly whispers "Express yourself, don't repress yourself" a total of five times, before opening with the chorus, "And I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry). It's human nature (It's human nature). And I'm not sorry (I'm not sorry). I'm not your b**ch, don't hang your s**t on me (It's human nature)." Madonna then begins singing her first verse, "You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say. You didn't want to see life through my eyes. You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room. And silence me with bitterness and lies." It's a fantastic first verse, and the lyrics are excellent. Madonna then sings the bridge, "Did I say something wrong? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex (I musta been crazy). Did I stay too long? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't speak my mind (What was I thinking?)" Madonna then sings the chorus once more with more whispering in the background to try and intimidate all those who slammed Madonna in 1992/1993. Madonna then sings the second verse of the song, "You punished me for telling you my fantasies. I'm breakin' all the rules I didn't make. You took my words and made a trap for silly fools. You held me down and tried to make me break." Madonna then sings the bridge once more, which is slightly altered to sound like, "Did I say something true? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about sex (I musta been crazy). Did I have a point of view? Oops, I didn't know I couldn't talk about you (What was I thinking?)" Madonna then sings the chorus again, before the song's beat heats up and Madonna whispers "Express yourself, don't repress yourself" eight times, before repeating the chorus until the song ends.

The video to Human Nature is definitely one of Madonna's best ever. She appears in a totally white room dressed in bondage gear, with her male and female dancers who are also dressed like her. She dances around with them in 'compromising' situations, basically telling all the harsh critics how sad and silly they were for calling Madonna so many names about her sex-era. It's a wonderful concept, and as we all now know, Madonna had the last laugh - she's had more success in the past five years than any other time in her career. All in all, a brilliant song with a wicked beat and thought-provoking lyrics.
