Scream from on high I will not die Until I’ve lived my Dream of this world from what I’ve heard It turns out well in the end So stop slow down Remember who you are Dream your heart Right from the start We came to be totally free Exactly who we are Spread yourself thin spreading love Over everything Stop slow down Remember who you are Dream your heart Right from the start When we have all Unwrapped this tight knit ball Revealed our soul Then the tide will fall So stop slow down Remember who you are Dream your heart Right from the start Dream your heart Right from the start

She says she’ll love you for the rest of time youre both alive smiles as she says so You go out for a little while you both feel so alive you know insatiable A woman and a man You say that you believe that shes the kind youd never leave irresistable But something in your chemistry or maybe through your history Things just get hard A woman and a man A woman and a man And I just wanna be the guy that you run to every time and you just wanna be the girl thatll make things turn out right Between a woman and a man So take me to that heaven above where we’ll eternally fall in love what a scene And I will love you like you never ever thought was possible or ever dreamed A woman and a man A woman and a man And I just wanna be the guy that you run to every time and you just wanna be the girl thatll make things turn out right Between a woman and a man

I am the kid who lived with the stereo on I’m the kid who lived life for a song music for me was a place where I could feel free in it lived a boy i knew how to be To keep me warm gimme shelter from the storm I’d just keep my stereo on and there’s something real that Id feel when I turn it on Let it play on and on and on Now I got my stereo and I’m playin it late at night My every cell super filled with light Its all right I like the music I grew up on baby I don’t care if you say it aint cool no more when I’m alone I groove around my room That’s when I feel so good so good so good Reintro Now that I’m grown I still love the same old song When I play that one theres nothing wrong And I like how I feel when I fall in a groove for so long Let it roll on and on and on Now I got my phonograph listen to my records all day long all them fat tunes with a scratch sound so rad I like the music I grew up on baby No I don’t care if you say it aint cool no more when I’m alone I dance around my room That’s when I feel so good so good so good I like the music i grew up on baby yes I like to listen to it when I’m alone in my room I get down to those tunes I used to boogie to I like the music i grew up on baby yes I like to listen to it Turn the radio on

about

The new album from cellist turned rocker Noah Hoffeld.Play Human is the debut LP from Noah Hoffeld. Produced by Hoffeld and mixed by legendary producer Mark Plati (Bowie, The Cure, Philip Glass), Play Human contains 11 new tracks, ranging from powerful love songs to rollicking cello-rock tunes. Throughout the album Noah brings home a passionate message of peace, caring for the planet and for each other.

"On his new LP, Noah Hoffeld brings the best of classical music and modern rock to bear to gorgeous effect. We have the premiere of Play Human, and it's a record that defies simple categorization though familiar sonic touchstones are there for those willing to dive into the rich textures of the record. There's a little bit of David Bowie's 'Berlin' Trilogy (particularly Low) in the sweeping, cinematic use of strings as a counterpoint to the wall of sound production (though I use that phrase in an intentionally minimalist sense). There are hints of the avant-garde 70s rock of Electric Light Orchestra in the twisting and churning of Hoffeld's vocal melodies. Hoffeld utilizes modern production flourishes to create a rich sonic soundscape to lose yourself in."

-Baeble Music

"Play Human is a masterfully executed work of art."
