"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.[3]
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.
