Indovina and Human Drama began their career in New Orleans in the early 80s as The Models, releasing two singles along with compilation appearances. A mid-'80s move to Los Angeles and the discovery of an already existing Australian band also named The Models set the stage for Indovina and company to begin their new incarnation.
The newly renamed Human Drama became a member of the "Scream scene" of the mid-'80s, which sprang up around the short-lived Los Angeles underground goth/metal club that brought Guns N' Roses and Jane's Addiction to the world. Human Drama contributed a song, "Wave of Darkness", to the 1987 Scream Compilation LP, which led to a major label deal with RCA.
1989 saw the release of the debut Hopes Prayers Dreams Heart Soul Mind Love Life Death EP and the full length Feel LP. Both releases featured a electric guitar-oriented approach. Indovina felt that RCA wasn't properly promoting the band, and the band and label parted ways.
Moving to the independent Triple X label, the next Human Drama release was 1992's The World Inside. Stylistically different from the first two releases, Indovina moved Human Drama into a quieter, more strings-based sound. This album is widely regarded as Indovina and Human Drama's most important work. The LP earned the band critical raves and a near fanatical following, especially in Mexico. A solo performance of various cover songs by Indovina at the album's release party predicted the next Human Drama album. Released in 1993, PinUps was an open tribute to David Bowie's album of the same name, a collection of remakes of various sources of inspiration.
A move to New York city accompanied a temporary co-release stint on the Projekt label, resulting in two additional mid-decade releases, 1994's Human Drama EP and 1995's Songs of Betrayal, which was later re-released as two separate discs with additional tracks.
The next Human Drama release would be a live album. 1997's Fourteen Thousand Three Hundred Eighty Four Days Later, featuring many of the early Feel-era songs, along with some new cover song choices.
1999 brought Solemn Sun Setting, which saw a merging of the two "different" Human Drama styles, before the following year's career overview, Best of Human Drama...In a Perfect World.
The final Human Drama album, 2002's Cause and Effect, continuing themes from Solemn Sun Setting, was an unexpected goodbye from Indovina and company, for both the band and their fans.
In 2004, Human Drama recorded their final track, the Beatles "Let It Be", which was given to fans who attended the band's farewell performance in Los Angeles. When asked why he chose "Let It Be" as their final recording Indovina answered, "I strived my entire career to write a song as good as that, but since I couldn't, I decided to record it as a salute to, what is in my opinion, the best song ever written".
Indovina has since moved on with his next project, Sound of the Blue Heart.
Love's Way
Human Drama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or wonder how
Seasons turn
Feelings fade
And slowly change
It's just love's way
But miles away
On different lands
In diflerent timcs
Our love lies
We can't know why
It's just love's way
The journey was our only rhyme
And reason to live this life
The crossroads came
To our separate ways
We can't know why
It's just love's way
To your eyes I sing this song
Words formed by pieces of a shattered heart
Memory must fill
The loss I feel
The lyrics in Love's Way by Human Drama explore the complex nature of love and how it can be difficult to understand why it unfolds as it does. The opening lines suggest that love is a natural force that is beyond explanation and often leads to change and evolution over time. The fleeting nature of love is acknowledged as "feelings fade and slowly change," and the chorus reiterates that this is simply "love's way."
The second verse adds a layer of distance and separation to this message. It speaks of two people who are standing "face to face" but are separated by distance and time. They cannot fully understand why their love has taken them down different paths, but they acknowledge that it is part of love's mysterious and unpredictable nature. The lines "The journey was our only rhyme and reason to live this life / The crossroads came to our separate ways" suggest that even though their love may have ended, it was still a valuable and meaningful experience that shaped their lives.
The final lines of the song shift from the abstract to the personal, with the singer addressing their lost love directly. The image of a "shattered heart" speaks to the pain and grief that often accompany the end of a relationship, but there is also a sense of hopefulness in the lines "memory must fill / the loss I feel." This suggests that even though their love may be over, it will live on in memory and continue to shape their lives.
