Release: August 6, 1990

Lyrics:

Calling up the promised land

Johnny Seven's coming over the sea

He's taking your time

When you want to be free

Holding out a helping hand

Are you ready for a real career

Will you be so cool

When it's happening here

It don't say nothing that I haven't heard

If what I hear is true

You won't keep the law with a broken word

So what are you gonna do

Heart like a wheel

Turning away

From anything that's real

Heart like a wheel

Changing in time

Beating colder steel

Pass the message around the world

The medium is in retreat

The power is here

And packing some heat

Sell your soul to a holy war

Set the captive free

We make no promises anymore

But it isn't fooling me

Heart like a wheel

Turning away

From anything that's real

Heart like a wheel

Changing in time

Beating colder steel

Ohhhh

You can't keep the wheels turning anymore

With anger, blood, and fear

Or make any friends with an M16

When you blast your way through her

Heart like a wheel

Turning away

From anything that's real

Heart like a wheel

Changing in time

Beating colder steel

Heart like a wheel

Turning away

From anything that's real

Heart like a wheel

Changing in time

Beating colder steel

Songwriter:

Heart like a wheel

Turning away

From anything that's real

Heart like a wheel

Driving the world

Is gonna be a steal.

Jo Callis / Eugene Reynolds

SongFacts:

"Heart Like a Wheel" is a song by the British synth-pop group The Human League. It was the first single to be taken from the Human League's Romantic? album of 1990, and was written by former band member Jo Callis with Eugene Reynolds (of The Rezillos) and features vocals by Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley; with synthesizer by Neil Sutton. Recorded at Genetic Sound Studios during 1990, it was produced by Martin Rushent who was reconciled with the band after a seven-year gap.

Released in the UK in August 1990, "Heart Like a Wheel" reached number 29 in the UK, number 32 in the US, and number 64 in Australia.

I absolutely love the fact that so many of those early electronic musicians are also sci-fi enthusiasts. Like Jean-Michel Jarre loves Arthur Clarke and watched 2001 a space odyssey for like 50 times when it aired in 1968, Kraftwerk went full on that Metropolis aesthetics with their man-machine-isms, Tangerine Dreams making one space-themed album after another, Klaus Schulze on Dune, Gary Numan being so obsessed with Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep that he made 3 albums (as well as an android persona) almost entirely based on Philip Dick's futuristic dystopia, The Human League & John Foxx being fans of JG Ballard, etc.. Finding out about these little "crossovers" and influences really brings me joy since I love both retro electronic music & retro scifi.

#jean michel jarre #gary numan #john foxx #the human league #kraftwerk #just tagging these to see if there's anyone with similar interests...#oh and that Japanese dude who made electronic versions of classic music but i forgot his name #he made a song about solaris right #isao tomita #yeah i just looked it up

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog!⚡️

✨Music is my passion and I'm an 80s enthusiastic. My favourite artists are David Bowie, Queen, George Michael, The Human League, Spandau Ballet, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Ryuichi Sakamoto & YMO, Japan, and Buck-Tick.

✨My other obsession is cinema, from Classic Hollywood to Japanese films. I'm also interested in goth, punk, fashion, literature and art.

✨I have two instagram fan accounts about David Sylvian & Japan (sylvianmoon), and Duran Duran (chauffeuringtomedazzaland). Sometimes I want to post about my other interests but I find it weird to talk about them there and, honestly, I didn't want to create another ig account. So, that's why I decided to create this blog, to share thoughts about anything.

If you like my blog and have similar tastes, don't hesitate to send me a message by tumblr or ig, if you like.💫
