Most Teach Me Human songs are written at an altitude of 10,000 feet.
Brian Cotter, the singer/songwriter of Teach Me Human and an aviator in the United States Air Force has been playing music for almost his entire life. With an extensive resume of previous bands across many genres —grunge, punk, alternative, and hip hop—and an almost shocking array of life experiences, he is still trying to figure out how to be human. Drawing from these influences, as well as the eccentric prowess of artists like Beck, David Bowie, and Nirvana, Teach Me Human was born.
Today we’re excited to premiere the new video for the track “Tell Me That You Love Me” – streaming below! The song was written in Iraq during an air force deployment in 2018. The lyrics represent the conflict of living in a new and dangerous reality while still attempting to connect with loved ones back at home.
The video’s production is really well-done and captures the subject matter well. The song has an energetic urgency that pairs perfectly with memorable guitars and huge hooks.
In his own words:
“Tell Me That You Love Me” was written in Iraq during an air force deployment in 2018. The lyrics represent the conflict of living in a new and dangerous reality while still attempting to connect with loved ones back at home. The video shows me in seclusion – alone, in a not so normal place. We tried to make my basement look like a bomb shelter. It cuts to my significant other at home living a normal life; putting on make up, driving, watching TV, and using her phone in the comfort of safety, but she is also alone. She is trying to call me and find out how I am and whats going on, but I never answer because of the circumstances. She desperately needs reassurance, she needs to hear that I love her. We are both alone, both sad, but living two different lives.”
