"Human Sadness" is the debut single by American rock band Julian Casablancas + The Voidz.
It was released on September 2, 2014 via Casablancas' indie record label Cult Records and is from their debut album "Tyranny". The song is nearly eleven minutes long.
Drummer Alex Carapetis brought a sample of Mozart's "Requiem in D Minor" to lead singer Julian Casablancas attention, which was then used as a starting point. The lyrics of the song, "Put money in my hand and I will do the things you want me to," allude to their album's themes of greed and corruption, while the rest of the song examines the lead singer's relationship with his estranged father, John Casablancas, who died in 2013 from cancer.
"Human Sadness" has been described very positively by critics, some describing it as "a structure-less beast that features everything from jarring noise and warped, processed vocals to bombastic stadium rock solos and a hint of the gritty NYC punk Casablancas is best known for." It has also been compared to the Sufjan Stevens album The Age of Adz.
