I love the double meaning of they're only human. REM sees it like 'only human they can't help it' and Ryuk sees it as 'they're only human, not worth anything'.
But is ryuk really in the wrong for thinking that, our eternity is only about 70-100 years, or less. Their eternity is actually eternity, so probably to hum, our hopes and dreams dont mean anything, because we live such short lifespans
@@brittle_littleskittle I like don't know anything about Death Note lmao but that comment strikes deep even without the context.
We humans find value in things even more transitory like pets and hobbies.
By laws of supply and demand, the less an item is in stock, the more demand grows, and the more valuable it appears.
Have you heard of the phrase wish upon a shooting star? A shooting star is really an instant. It enters our atmosphere and it burns itself until it dies completely, yet we humans view it as something completely magical.
And I guess it checks out that we can't help but place value in our short lives and even shorter less valuable things around us simply because we are only human. Therefore, the value of things in life whether it be everlasting or a flash of lightning have value so long as give them value. It doesn't need to be derived from factual evidence nor scientific proof, it's just something we humans do.
“Living everyday, till the day they die”
Wow, the floor really is made of floor here

It's "living everyday -till the day they die - never getting answers"
"People die if they're killed..." -Shirou Emiya
Did you guys know orange juice is made out of oranges
@@nazanyolcu8836 Huh? Nah. What was the saying- "If life gives you lemons, make orange juice"
Can we talk about “Looking down from above, I’m intrigued by their love” like who played Rem she’s amazing
honestly i need a solo version of her just singing she's fantastic 😔
It's Carrie Manolakos! She is perhaps best known for her stage work, on Broadway in Mamma Mia! as Sophie Sheridan, and on the second national tour of Wicked as Elphaba.
Like, I'm not straight, but...
The musical paints Rem as this soft lesbian and I fucking love it.
This line also connects to Mortals and Fools where she is singing about how love doesn't really exsist, but it seems like she's inquiring and questioning Misa about it at the same time.
Although I love this version, Rem in the original Japanese song sings it so sad and melancholically. She finds humans pitiful. This version of Rem loves humans. She sounds fascinated by them and has faith in them. Rem has become an entirely different person.
That's what i like about Theatre, every show is played every night but if you get different actors it can be a completely diffrent shows as all have a way to potray a character. Never a bland day in the stage i always say
Hey super cool insight! Just wanted to let you know that this is actually the original.
The songs were written in English first and then translated to different languages for their respective shows. While there was never a production of the English version despite there being ones overseas, and a few official recordings were still released.
@@psyche6917 Thanks for the correction.
This is the original?
@@Deactivatedsorry Yeah, if I’m right in the US they had shut down the production not thinking it would succeed then over seas they got permission to do the musical and boy did that explode in popularity
I mistook the title for
"theyre only human right?"
And I thought it was someone trying to convince someone like murder was okay
This is an amazing comment!
It kinda is
That's it! That's the anime!
@@camerakitty8167 wut? I've never seen the anime i think its just a good song, but wow.
@@tacosauce8639 Neither have I, but I do know what it's about.
"They're only human standing still. Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill."
I just have to wonder how many other people understand the reference to Greek myth here
@@BlindStarLily hahaha Percy Jackson go brrr
@@EscapismAddict Well, yes, I did learn because of the PJO series, but the actual story is about a man who’s name I have no idea how to spell. Death comes and is like, you die now, so dude ties him up and holds him hostage. As punishment, he’s made to stay in the underworld, pushing a bolder up a hill. He’s told that when he gets it to the top, he can go free, but each time he almost gets there, the bolder rolls back down the hill again.
@@BlindStarLily Sisyphus
Hades boi here
"while we stay eternally bored."
I don't know why thay lyric sounded so good to me. It's such a simple sentence yet it's so strong somehow and sends chills down your spine
Also very in character for him. Dude was the exact same way in the manga. He literally kickstarted the whole plot by dropping another dude's Deathnote to see what would happen. He caused so many problems on purpose out of sheer boredom.
Perhaps because you relate to it in a way?👀
"They will pray ,curse, live, die. Never knowing their truth is another men's lie"
You never realize how much feeling that phrase has.
Please explain it to me whose lie?
@@omarsalem1219 Many people tell many lies. Some things we believe may not be true. No one knows the absolute truth of things but we choose to believe what we want without thinking much about it.
@@omarsalem1219 they mock religion throughout the song so I assume this is another jab
"Yes but even while blaming fate for the lives that they live they pray for the lives that they need"
This line, is crazy, it is so strong.
It describes oh so well so many belivers, no matter their religion.
It’s “hope” not “pray”
@@guywhochangeshisprofilealo7163 Well you'll excuse me :)
On a more interesting note, what is the difference between the words "hope" and "pray"?
Doesn't it transcripts a state in which you are powerless and can only put your life in the hands of things you believe are biger than you such as "fate" or "gods" for you feel as if you can't change the situation by yourself?
The words on their own make no sens, it is what their archieve when they come together that really matters!
@@haramea people don't pray because they feel powerless. People that I know pray because they want to stay Humble in society. Either way mad respect to those who pray consistently. Powerless more like powerful.
@@thecrimsonconverse8732 People that i see mostly pray because they feel powerless against fate hense why i said that BUT i can totally get that it is not the only reason of why people pray to hings :), and heck if they need it to respect moral laws then by all means do!
And indeed, sticking to the purest version of "good" is being hecking powerful~^~
(on a side note, i stick to what's good but don't have to pray to do it, would you know why the people you speak of do?
Is it because they were raised with their religion and have associated it the the concept of "good" and pray to "what needs to be done to be good"?
or is it something else?
Of course if you aren't a believer yourself or don't know it is okay! i'm just curious to learn about people.)
@@haramea if I am gonna speak with experience I gotta say that a great trait of following these cultural habits really get you along with people with the same habits. Am a Muslim and but wasn't raised practicing it. I thought myself how to embrace what I already was. Huge respect from my core family and especially from my people back in my homecountry. it Is to belong to a community that makes me happy. I'll pray with family and with friends. I pray for Happiness.
2:20 i want her to sing this whole song solo this part was fantastic
Same
YESSS I AGREE OMG
Who came from the Good Omens animatic?
Its amazing how much the male sounds like Crowley
Me
Yup, me
Me😅
Me
The timing is great and the lyrics are good, but it would be kind of nice for the two voices to be different colors or something like that
Idk the girl sounds purple but the dude sounds like a dark purple
Really??
I thought the man sounded neon green and the woman sounded old blood red
@@TheElkMaidenn i dont see it like that but v a l i d.
how do ppl sound like colors-
@@max_robinson__ nyes
got to love theatre producers see a non musical and they say this needs to be set to music which results in this amazing number
My friend loves the Anime so when I saw this in my reccomended (I listen to too many musicals) I told her imedietly (i also can't spell)
the voice of rem is amazing
Love how it sounds lowkey British.
Ended up here accidentally through autoplay. Didn't even know a musical existed and.. I'm in love
This would be perfect for the book of life
I-....I thought i was the only one...
@@rojin866 you're not... I thought exactly this
THANK YOU!
Give it a more Southern style in the beat and it would actually be perfect
Oh God yes also cool that I am not the only one who knows about that movie
I can’t get over they’re beautiful voices!
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS WAS FROM DEATH NOTE
This is from death note
Cause this is from an obscure musical.
Did I come here from a celestia ludenburg and Ishimaru drawing? Yes.
I DID TOO
came here from there too
same lmao,, came for that, stayed for the good omens animatic
Wait same
sAME
Catch me makin OCs inspired by this oOp-
Don't call me out like that
Calling me out
Calling me out!
Calling me out
Yeahhhh you got me
Of course Death Note has a musical. Of course it does.
This song is the monologue I have whenever I see humanity slip further.
Ryuk]
Look at how they crawl around
Upon the ground
Like little ants
[Rem]
Yes, but how they fascinate
Confusing fate
With what is merely chance
[Ryuk]
Isn’t it a laugh?
[Rem]
Isn’t it a shame?
[Ryuk]
Thinking there is someone in heaven to blame
[Rem]
Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead
They hope for the lives that they need
[Ryuk]
Living every day ‘til the day they die
Never getting answers
[Rem]
Yet still asking why
Going through the motions as if there will be a reward
[Ryuk]
While we stay eternally bored!
[Both]
They’re only human
They don’t see
Who they are is who they’ll always be
Only human, after all
[Ryuk]
So they push and they shove
[Rem]
With this thing they call love
[Both]
‘Til they fall!
[Ryuk]
Isn’t it a farce?
[Rem]
Isn’t it a waste?
[Ryuk]
Struggling to face what can never be faced
[Rem]
Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share
[Ryuk]
I really don’t know and don’t care
[Both]
They’re only human
Standing still
Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill
Only human, after all
[Ryuk]
So they give and they take
[Rem]
Hoping someone will help break their fall
[Ryuk]
They will pray, curse, live, die
Never knowing their truth is another man’s lie
[Rem]
Eat, sleep, love, hate
Like a leaf blowing in the wind
[Ryuk]
Watch them all vacillate!
[Both]
They’re only human
They can’t see
[Ryuk]
All the years they could give you and me
Only human, after all
[Rem]
So they give and we take
[Ryuk]
‘Til their silly hearts break
[Rem]
Looking down from above
I’m intrigued by their love
[Ryuk]
So let’s call!
Hmmm, let’s call! Last Update: September,
"living everyday til the day they die"
wow thank you for that life changing quote I never knew that
Anybody else reminded of "Little Bit of Priest" from Sweeney Todd?
A bit yes but I loved this musical first
YES, it has that same chemistry of Ms Lovett and Sweeney
yes. also feel reminded of "The writing's on the wall" from Rudolf :D
I was looking for this comment
Being not a human, listening to this song gives me Chills 💜
Same, dude, same
Wait-
Being not a human ??!!are you serious??!!
@@Nik_anduyot No I'm not Sirius, I'm Severus Snape :)
@@221b_Bakerstreet can you talk normally please!!!you're a human!!
my new favorite song
The song begins with two Shinigamis (gods of death), Ryuk and Rem talking about how pitiful humans are because of the pointless actions that they do such as “confusing fate with chance” and “blaming fate for their lives.” The Shinigamis point out that they do this because “they’re only human” and they can’t change. Now I have to research what the Shinigamis God's of death where about but the song makes more sense now because I read that the lyrics and Ryuk and Rem are making fun out of the human beings who had no care and selfish and greed. The more I study about the different God's who were considered the bad ones,,the more I respect them because they spoke the real Truth while the God in the Book of lies had hidden truth banned from people and if they had any written information about the truth, they were Executed, beaten and because they found the secret scrolls by accident and the Roman's killed them and his the secret truth is in the Vatican where its still hidden away to this day. They were scientists and about logic and truth too.
Give me the. Pills are hurting you too much
Are you talking about christianity?
Love how Ryuk sounds lowkey British in this version.
2:04
This- is the best part of the song. Fight me on this
I just came here for death note- 😂
SAMEEEEEE
I come back to this song everyday, WHY IS IT SO GOOD?!
I just wanna point out the ending ryuk(I think thats who it is) says"let call..."as if hes looking for someone in particular
I think the word "call" in this song has something to do with gambling, such as the phrase "calling one's bluff". At the end of the song, Ryuk wants to take the first opportunity he could find to use the death note and a random human (Light) to make his "eternally boring" job more amusing.
Could be cull, omega death levels of death type stuff
Never thought about it like that thank you , you two
I haven't seen death note the musical but I can just see the actors doing a really badass waltz to this song for some reason
Help I can't stop listening to this
G o o d
Shame this isn't actually on Spotify :(
Year late but a good cover by Annapantsu is on Spotify
Why wasn’t this put in a movie because this was well made
It's in a musical lol
@@Summerlilly226 what musical
@@Mangobee_ Death Note: The Musical
I really like the shift from Ryuk's "They give and they take" to Rem's "They give and WE take", as well as their respective responses "hoping someone will help break their fall" and "'till their silly hearts break" showing how Ryuk considers humans worthless and even hilarious, being ultimately responsible and guilty of everything that happens to them while Rem feels saddened by how humans are unknowingly at mercy and in the hands of circumstances and external forces like shinigamis, only being able to rely on one another while Ryuk mocks how powerless they are against literally everything the universe throws at them
I can see the kindred spirits lamb and wolf singing this for some reason
I think the last part he says "let's cull" not call. Cull makes more sense, it means to kill lots of people "to cleanse"
I pretty sure “let’s call” is a reference to Ryuk (the male voice) dropping the Death Note to the human world.
The beginning is always good
Aliens when they see us
I love their voices. God bless you all 💓
Ima need someone to sing this with me in the Broadway showcase thing we do at my school-
Whoever does the female vers sounds wonderful 😍
I know this is from Death Note- but this made me think about what if the girl had agreed to Beetlejuice and teamed with him I think the outcome would've been similar to this song lol (I never saw the movie/read the book so idk the name sorry)
Lydia and Beetlejuice SCARE PEOPLE to DEATH | NOT CLICKBAIT
this song is a bop
I know it's from the Death Note musical but dear god does this fit Lady Dimetrescu and Karl Heisenberg
but both of them hate human...
@@trananbinhjerry6438 exsactly, their both looking down at them like disgusting animals
@@Hellsfavouritemain But i think in this version the female is fascinated and sympathize with human
@@trananbinhjerry6438 she more likes the idea of love, and Lady D is cannonically Bi so ig it makes sence?? Kinda???
this is like two gods watching human since they are instincts and nature
That's literally what The song is
Some duet played this at a school play, and I was impressed. The original is still good.
I thought they sang "till their shitty hearts break."
I thought it was just me 😆
This is SO GOOD
K I already comments but gAwd I am in love with this songg
The guy: so they push and they shove
My brain: aye sum ain't right
It works if you imagine two zombies talking and watching humans from a tall building
Damn, this song is good.
idk what this is from but im picturing these 2 as cat gods who used to live in Egypt but now look over modern humanity with shame and yet slight humour in the fact we still have cats
I think it's from death note the musical
When i hear this i think of a god of evil and a godess of hope and good but the god cursed her not to feel love and she sees humans inlove and she wants to feel it to but he dosent care at all. And she wants someone to breack her fall into madness
I imagine Loki and his Wife Sigyns singing this lol and Loki ends up liking humans.
The pure disdain and annoyance that Ryuk has vs Rem’s admiration and curiosity for humans and everything we are is such an interesting contradiction.
Wtf this was from death note?
There was a musical?
We talkin about the anime/manga death note right?
Damn this got me off guard if it is.
Here's the full japanese show (subbed of course).

This is vibes of The Dragon Prince-
Can someone tell me what is that instrument like
Playing in the background between those for example lines in chorus:
They don't see
-
Who they are is who they'll always be
It kinda sounds like a flute or Something like this
Please help, I know it sounds funny and dumb but 😭💀
i think is a violin, with piano, or a xylophone, idk
I think it might be a piccolo flute not sure if there is a difference
I believe it's a flute but I'm not really an expert
@@alexlock9946 There is! Piccolo is much higher pitched and smaller! I can't tell you the exact differences, as I'm only a percussionist. But there is a difference between the two.
xylophone.
this is just human lore to other creatures
1:52 Tommy Innit is that you!?!?
didnt expect a mcyt comment here but im not complaining
@@bundleofstyx Sis Same
woah a fellow musical theatre nerd and mcyt stan?
OH MY GOD I CANT UNHEAR TOMMY NOW
Oh god... I do tho.
Rem: Charlie Mange
Ryku: Alastor
There is actually an animatic about that

Don't mind, just timestamp for me
0:52
I'm getting constant flashbacks from Ib OST right now oooohhhh
Haha! This is so perfect! Accurate af.
I do love the Shinigami songs ...
Oh my god it's so good
this reminds me of Blue and Yellow Diamond from Steven Universe
I've heard another version of this, in English and this one is by far superior because even tho I've never watched an episode of death note, this singer SOUNDS like ryuk. The other one he comes off bored af
It really says alot doesn't it‽ Even for a lyrical kechy song…
Video: Humans suck
Humans: ahem... *No u*
Sound like a conversation between Dream and Death of The Endless.
well this is for Rem and Ryuk so it's still technically "Dream and Death"
Nice
I dedicate this song to my shoulder angel and devil
*[Claps]*
I didnt know deathnote had a musical until i read the comments
Death Note has a musical!?
Guys can you recommend songs like this ?
Mordred's Lullaby by Heather Dale and Run Boy Run by Woodkid are pretty good!
You should listen to the Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street musical. That and the Beetlejuice musical sound a lot like this
I don’t know why but whenever I imagine this song I think of it as a waltz
1:34 SISYPHUS MOMENT!??!!
I'm just now finding out that Death Note has a musical. I feel so damn dumb 🤦
I just know that my friend in my source would have loved this song..
2:34 ... Saul

Now that it's a beautiful song never heard it but I do like it can the villain flare saying that song the female villains gorgeous the villains later all the nails and the females 👍👍🏾👍🏾🙂😘🤘👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🙂🤗😘
I’m sad that there is no Real Love in The Death Note for all the versions they had released
Wait...death note had a musical?
who sings rems parts
I never understood the ending "let's call" what does that mean.
Yall why does the guy in this sound like Shigaraki
Idk
Idk but ryuk on this reminds me of Crowley from good omens
This song reminds me of a Russian song o-O
Can someone telle name of singer?? (English version )
Hello, I don't know if you've found out who the singers are yet,
but they're: Eric Anderson and Carrie Manolakos
Is the guy Alex brightman it sounds exactly like him
Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond
Why was this listed in a playlist for me called children's music
