human factor

An inspired blend of todays popular music styles Featuring special guests Michael Manring and DJ Logic

Human Factor's debut release is out! Go to http://www.humanfactor.net to purchase your own copy! Human Factor takes a giant first step with their debut release. Imagine an overdriving Marshall full stack, a hip-hop turntable, and body-moving percussion. Throw in soothing but aggressive vocal harmonies on top of it all. You have the beginning of the unique flavor you will experience when you put in the disc to hear the first track, Keepers of Our Souls. Combining Blake Althen's multi-layered electric rock style with Paula Bellenoit's organic, acoustic flair and refreshing modern lyrics, the duo embodies the meaning of the phrase "opposites attract." Add to this the soul-searching, mystifying, fretless bass sounds, and the colorful splashes of turntable artistry by featured guests Michael Manring and DJ Logic, and you will not be left wanting -- except for more Human Factor.

Lyrics

Whenever Richard Cory went downtown,
we people on the pavement looked at him.
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
and he was always human when he talked,
but still he fluttered pulses when he said, 
"Good morning," and he glittered when he walked.

(chorus)
And he was rich, richer than a king.
We all thought that he was everything.
Admirably schooled in every grace,
to make us wish that we were in his place.

Whenever Richard Cory went downtown,
we people on the pavement looked at him.
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
clean favored, and imperially slim.

So on we worked and waited for the light.
And so it was on one calm summer night,
we went without the meat and cursed the bread,
while Richard Cory put a bullet in his head, yeah yeah.

And he was rich... (repeat chorus)
