"The Current" is a song by Blue Man Group, released as the first single from their 2003 concept album, The Complex.

[1] The song deals with urban and occupational isolation, the two key themes from the album.

The isolation theme is furthered by the setting, which takes place in the underground portion of the urban complex—the location of the phone lines, electrical wires, and Internet connections.

According to the Blue Man Group themselves, "We wanted to capture the modern paradox of having access to millions of people through electric current but still being cut off from any real human contact.

The song was performed at The Complex concerts, with vocals from Peter Moore.
