Rag’n’Bone Man’s ‘Human’ Video Hits Two Billion YouTube Views

Rag’n’Bone Man‘s emotional video for his breakthrough 2016 hit “Human” has hit one billion views on YouTube. According to YT, the visual for the bare-bones blues pop song that has had a second, and third, life as the theme song for a variety of TV Shows, movies and video games has been averaging more than 380,000 views per day so far this year.

Is it the special effects? The wild story line? Who knows, but what is clear is fans can’t get enough of the British neo blues singer born Rory Charles Graham, who basically sings the song direct to camera in the three-minute clip in which his face is morphed with the visages of a series of other men and women, some young, some old, some Black, some white, including a pregnant woman and a man with painful-looking lacerations on his face.

“Maybe I’m foolish, maybe I’m blind/ Thinkin’ I can see through this and see what’s behind/ Got no way to prove it, so maybe I’m lyin’,” he sings in the Charlie Robins-directed video before diving into the emotional chorus, “But I’m only human after all/ I’m only human after all/ Don’t put your blame on me” as the camera spins around him to get a full 360-degree view.

The song peaked at No. 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 2017, spending a total of seven weeks on the chart. It has since served as the theme song for the Amazon Prime shows Oasis and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, as well as the TV shows Thank You For Your Service, GOd Friended Me, Marvel’s Inhuman and Inhumans and the trailer for the video game Mass Effect: Andromeda.

The singer released his third studio album, What Do You Believe In? in October.
