May 21st is my birthday, what an awesome birthday present! Thank you Gary, I love the song and I'm gonna love the album too 🖤 My 20yo son and I are both your greatest fans, we just watched the premiere and we're in awe!!!
Blows my mind how there are folks on here been listening to this dude since the '70s and yet here we are connecting over this man's music 40 odd years later.. how awesome is that?
I don't think he is underrated. He is absolutly brilliant! The Problem is the music business! He has no chance. He is not 19, he is not a girl, he don't wear hotpants = no chance. I don't care about this shit. Lets buy his records and give him support. In my opinion the only chance to keep Gary making records. This Man makes music for over 40 Years! Where are all these "starlets" after the 2 Years of having success and thrown away by the companies like trash? Next carreer step: I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!
One of the most underated British musicians of our times. No drugs and no madness; just a humble guy deserving of a major motion picture soundtrack contract Keep up the good work, Gary. Looking forward to another tour. Awesome, just awesome.
A man who lived one of the worst nightmares on a music's career (to see his career drowning in a well made of his own lack of creativity and self-esteem) and then made the best comeback we've ever seen by changing intelligently his musical career in a very modern-day way, making better music than NIN, Depeche Mode and others.
@@randydarklight And if only the main stream radio stations would give him a little airtime instead of the same rubbish on a loop, he'd have eight more...
I bought my first Gary Numan album, The Pleasure Principle, in 1980. I'm turning 58 this year and he still fills my ears with the synths and sounds and voice I loved back then.
@@LoveMyBoys3 aMEN!!! Just waiting for the household to wake up, then I'm going to blast Metal, on repeat, for the whole day, while I finish online work. Yea!!! 🎹🎶🎤
Such a distinctive , definitive sound . My dad took me to see him when I was 16 in Glasgow ,We were denied at the door by the bouncer because of my age , my dad saw the guitarist (rob holiday) goto the tour bus , so he goes down and explains the situation , a few moments later me my mum my dad and my little sister are being escorted in to see the show !!! What a show it was !!
Gary Numan was years ahead of his time. I watched him as a child in the late 70's, and I'm still here now watching him. What an outstanding, innovative musician. He really was, and is, in a class all of his own. One word sums him up aptly, that word is, 'SUPERLATIVE.'
For forty years now, I've never been able to understand how - or why - Gary's tunes have made me feel simultaneously both uplifted and yet depressed, powerful yet hollow, valiant and yet moved almost to tears, raised to a sparkling crescendo where all I can see is the darkness below. But he always did. And he still does. And it still feels like catharsis every time. Thanks Gary.
I could listen to you scream Pretty music to my ears I could listen to it all day If you want me to I could talk about my world How you brought about ruin I could talk about your greed If you want me to I could look into evil See a heart just like mine I could throw away reason If you want me to I could walk into darkness Find the hole you crawled into I will be the intruder If you want me to You can whisper your lord's prayer And pretend that it matters But don't you wish you'd just listened more? You can hide in the shadows And pretend I won't find you But don't you wish you'd just listened more? I could listen to more lies About promises you kept Will you walk on water Like you said you would? I could make you my prisoner But you were dead men talking When you burned the oceans Like you said you would You can beg for god's mercy And pretend that he hears you But don't you wish you'd just listened more? You can drown in your sorrow And pretend you were helpless But don't you wish you'd just listened more? This was always your one life I won't pretend that it matters But don't you wish you'd just listened more? This was always your one home I won't pretend that I'll miss you But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
@@markmcarthy596 egocentric religion. To survive we need to being more focused on nature than on humans. Religion was just a little chapter in our evolution. To survive in the past we needed to be kind to each other (we created moral and religion to live in the socle of a society) now, we are facing autodestruction because we didn't learn to be kind to nature ad we learned how to be kind with humans. So at this point, we can say that religion is pointless. An egocentric religion is driving us right into autodestruction (microplastic water pollution will cause infertelity, more pandemics are yet to come because animals don't have any place to live so they're forced to be in a little spaces (causing more pandemics), and extreme weather is also yet to come. Humans are just not enough smart and kind collectively.
@@markmcarthy596 Gary is inspired by nature and the human destruction of nature to write this song. The nature is trying to destroying us because we are "too many humans". This touch my heart so deeply, because he's scientifically right and at the same time.he express himself like he was nature in an artistic way. Love it!
In my opinion the best artists keep producing because it comes from the soul. What they do is express what most of us can't. But we sure feel it in the "hook". This man is genius
According to the 'man himself, he kept producing music for years after it stopped coming from anywhere *near* the soul -- but then he found his path again and he once again believes in what he's doing. If you felt the "hook" even during the times that he didn't, though, I doubt that he would begrudge you that enjoyment...
I am approaching 33 years of age, I have always known of Gary Numan from the song 'Cars'. This last year or so I have looked into his music more. I am mainly into metal but do listen to other genres. I stumbled back to Numan his last record and I now absolutely love this man's music and his genius. Stoked for the new record.
Same here. Only knew this Gary from that Fear Factory version of Cars, which I really loved (and even had the personal blessings of the man himself, by contribution of his vocals). Then a few years later his music appeared in one of the NfS games (I think NfS Carbon...?). Checked him out a bit more. I can't really connect to his old stuff, but his newer stuff really connects well to my taste for dark and gloomy electronica.
Similar story for me. Heard 'Cars' back in the early 90's when I was about 4 and became more into his earlier albums when I got older. Then this track appeared in my 'release radar' playlist on Spotify and it blew me away. I thought the new EP was good but the album is even better. There is still an undertone of his classic sound but such a different vibe with this album. Such an adaptable artist after 40 years. This album is as fresh as his early work. Going to see him in May 2022
Intruder I could listen to you scream Pretty music to my ears I could listen to it all day If you want me to? I could talk about my world How you brought about ruin I could talk about your greed If you want me to? I could look into evil See a heart just like mine I could throw away reason If you want me to? I could walk into darkness Find the hole you crawled in to I will be the intruder If you want me to?

I gotta say, I am a Christian, but I totally get it : "you can pray for God's mercy, and pretend that He hears you" Because in the modern era, where are the saints? I see only Liars and Demons and ruin
@@1musichombre As if it was any different in the past. To be a saint means you successfully fooled yourself as well as everyone else. At least nowadays organized religions can't be as blatant as they used to be. Like taking money in exchange for forgiveness of sins. They're still soaking up money and trying to hold on to what influence they still have but they can't get away with murder, theft, etc anymore. Not without being exposed at least. I don't mind if people are religious as long as they keep it to themselves, but that doesn't necessarily mean I respect their beliefs (especially the ones that explicitly say people like me deserve hell and eternal torture) and organized religion has been a blight on society for too long.
I honestly can't tell for certain whether you're actually requesting this or if am I just being Captain Obvious here: ua-cam.com/video/ED5BCe07HoE/v-deo.html
@@1musichombre I know this is an old comment but this has been rattling in my head since I saw the comment yesterday. I grew up Christian, so I grew up with "God helps those who help themselves" and this song is basically calling out the exact mindset you displayed here. Why don't YOU be the "saint" you want to see in the world? You can drown in your sorrow And pretend you were helpless But don't you wish you'd just listened more? Hiding behind placing the blame on the actions of others will do nothing to shelter you or anyone else, the storms will come regardless of you being angry at the clouds. This was always your one home Don't you wish you'd just listened more?
Wow that man’s brain is phenomenal. The fact that he’s managed to reinvent himself and continues to sound unique is unbelievable. I’ve never heard another artist like him! He’s staying up there In my top 5 favorite musicians of all time.
@@simonturner3176 you should have a good time. He said in interviews many times that he has more fun now than he ever did. That's the kind of person you want to see if they've been playing music for almost half century.
Can't believe there are so few recent comments. The visuals in this are enough, forget the music! OMG, the fusion of old and new just mesmerizes me. Incredible how this man continues to delight fans, both old (1979, for me) and new. LOVE.
Numan never ran out of ideas once he had control of his career. And here he is in his 50s? 60s? I dont know, im 40. The man has to be 60something, making bangers like this. I know enough people in their 60s to know that it's rare to have anyone that age that never got convinced you can be too old for certain stuff. For many reasons Numan is one of my role models. He is on the spectrum like i am. I know he was honest about it before it became a big subject of psychology, when asbergers, closer to when the name itself was coined. He's a genius, though, and his honesty about depression, anxiety, trouble with social situations when you fail to conform, or to me succeed in not conforming. He needs as much credit as kanye for his studio genius. He was making these records with a new dark sound in the background and never got airplay, although they are some of the best examples of, i wouldn't know what to call his music now. He wasn't trying to be industrial or goth. Its like he has Always wanted his own genre, and he kindof made it happen. Trent Reznor would argue in interviews he was not making industrial music. Trent totally was making music that was kindof in the gary genre. Lol . I bought up almost every release since exile. I am 40, so what makes it special is his comeback happened when i was old enough for it to be meaningful. Yet his early career is really good. Synthpop came back in the 2000s, and there are some songs from the early 80s that would have fit in if was released in 2000. i used to be a big fan of nine inch nails from downward spiral to probably with teeth. And trent was influenced by exile i believe when he made pretty hate machine. So one of the most famous artists from their era, we owed his signature sound to Gary Numan.
@@thej3799 Wow. That was really interesting and obviously close to home. I very much appreciate that. We all come to Gary from different perspectives. Me, it was because of the FM broadcast that I did. I recognized what he was. And I have been a die-hard fan since.. what.. 1979. So glad to see that others get it.
@@_MrPink_ So do either/both of you two remember when he was widely dismissed by the critics as a soon-to-be-forgotten David Bowie clone? (I know, I know: WTF would a David Bowie "clone" even sound like?!?)
Gary Numan is living proof, that you dont burn out or fade away unless you actually chose to. This is epic. He just keeps it goin' full force. Freakin legendary. I can't wait to buy the full album release.
Love how this man hasn't lived off his past, looks and sounds better than ever. Very humble given his success, I hope this does as well as it should. Classy.
I saw him for the first time ever on Monday. Same here, loved and savored every second. I have no idea why I hadn’t seen him before in the 40+ years that I’ve been a big fan. 🤦🏼♀️
The synth 2 notes are exactly like his other song 'Mercy', but that simply reminds me that this is a continuing story this album. I like the pause in the song. His voice is as good as ever. I am a huge Numan fan and love this chorus.
I remember reading an interview or retrospective elsewhere where he mentioned Gemma pointed out the "Numan note" (a "vox" tinged note on high) that seems to be a signature note. This would've been in the Sacrifice era as he was putting everything back together. I wish I could find an actual concrete reference to point to. All my physical CDs are lost somewhere in storage after a move, and I can't find an online reference to point to. But, if you listen to Gary's early catalog (e.g. Pleasure Principle, Telekon) and even some songs from "I, Assassin", "Warriors", and "Berzerker", you'll find it there. Gary loves "anthemic" sounds, and that's where it hides. Take a trip to almost 22 years ago with Sacrifice: ua-cam.com/video/rvvc7J1-Hho/v-deo.html Go back a bit further, to 1984, and here it in The Secret (about a minute in, after it gets out of its own way): ua-cam.com/video/fZgNWlbJJ4o/v-deo.html Compare the hanging note at 56 seconds into The Secret to the hanging note at @2:00 - @2:03 here.
If all of our heroes aged as well as Gary, then we'd have a Robert Smith that we don't shoo our children away from. I'm so happy that both are still making amazing music, in any case!
The imagery already has me sold. Looking forward to this. The bloke is a bit of a genius in my book. A humble one at that. Pretty bloody rare these days.
I saw him perform at a festival around 12 years ago... I was blown away so decided to send a thank you email to his label on the off chance that it would get passed on... quite he surprise then when he emailed me back personally about a week later. He took the time to tell me which of his albums he thought I should check, and which he thought should be avoided. Came across every bit the humble artist. That was before the release of his last album which to me felt like a well-deserved triumph for someone who has stuck with their chosen craft regardless of what the press had to say at any given time. So Thanks for that Gary, and congratulation on what sounds like another gem of an album. I hope your proud of this one too.
With his unique voice and dark-powerhouse synths, the humble genius that is Mr Numan still excels at simultaneously feeding and haunting the deepest parts of your imagination.
Thanks to Gary Numan I will release my single produced by his keyboarder. Thank you Gary and the track is awesome. The only thing I have to say is that the first chorus comes after two minutes that for a commercial point is too much. Anyway he has the courage and his quality is always the top!
I remember being eleven years old at a florida waterpark in the spring of 1980. The operators of the park had "Cars" playing on a continuous loop and I was soaking wet sliding down these plastic flumes having the time of my life. Thanks for a happy memory Gary.
This track gives more than a passing nod to Gary's genius albums in the 1980's, but has his current modern feel baked in as well. I watched him live in 2019 and left the gig just as impressed as when I first went to see him live in 1983. Great track - looking forward to the album.
I'm loving it but it Intruder sounds very similar to another track off one of this last few albums....can't remember of the top of my head but it's more than a passing nod :)
I´ve always wondered, how Gary has the ability to make his music sounding so scary. Omenous, secretive, like from an other world so different than ours, like a world underneath us and totally beyond our reach, in every level. His music has this very pitch black cloud surrounding it. And that´s JUST WHY I LOVE HIS MUSIC!!!!!
A friend posted on FB that he was seeing Gary Numan in RI and posted this song. I mad ea comment about travelin "in cars" to see him. Listened to the song, I'm hooked again...need to find the back catalog. Gonna be a busy few weeks...So happy this is so good.

Numan is totally on the money with this track... Sums up our poor ravaged planet 🌏 he will always be a musical innovator and is pushing forward with his heavy Industrial yet tuneful sound not to mention the detached steely cold yet soulful vocals... How many other artists who emerged in the late 70's are still pushing forward with their unique sound and take on the world...? 🎶 The machines still rock 🎶 🎹 🎸 🎤 🕺
In the 80's I was a rock guy, earned a living as a guitarist. I thought GN was interesting, but he sort of slipped past me. I am SO GRATEFUL to be reunited with him & his music now. This song is more "rock" than most rock. & more interesting. The note choice in the verse melody "if you want me to" is just so slightly quirky enough to be genius. It's a hook in itself. I hope he never stops.
I just recently rediscovered your music. Not heard anything since New Anger. Been binge listening to your stuff and it's amazing. The music has a sharp edge but you STILL have that same haunting voice and it's so damn perfect! Can't wait to hear this new stuff as it's released!
@@barsixful His last album was amazing. Savage - Songs from a Broken World (2017). To hear the start of his musical revolution (as I call it) start with 2000 album called Pure and work your way to this album.
@@barsixful I've been loving it all. One song I became addicted to is My Name is Ruin. His daughter has that same haunting sound. Both together gives me chills.
This man should be in the music hall of fame, he’s a genius/legend.can’t wait for the album and tour this man is getting better with age (😂) he can do no wrong for me just love everything he does there’s nothing out there that comes close to him .
Here I am, almost 56, been listening to NIN, Depeche Mode and the like and it's only NOW that I've listened to this and it's blown my mind. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I can hear his influence in so many of the songs and bands I love listening to. I'm a bit slow off the mark, yes?
It's brilliant that Gary is still evolving and he's now the professor of synth, having started as a journeyman when when the net and DIY media were pure alien. Pat Martin(Suffolk) is one of the very best Numan Tributes,if youve not luck enough to see the real thing.
I've been a fan since 79 and I still feel like a giddy teenager when there is a new release or a pending tour. The music still gives me goosebumps both old and new. Thank you Gary for a lifetime of amazing music and fantastic memories. Long may it all continue .
unglaublich! Ich habe noch all seine(alten) LP's .. auch Tubeway Army .. mir war gar nicht bewusst, dass er noch SO aktiv ist! Umso größer die Freude! und seinem Stil ist er gleich geblieben! Erinnert mich so sehr an "down in the park" ... subtil, grandios, .. ich liebe es!
Oh Gary, you dark, dangerous, de-evolutionist diva. 40 years ago you propped me up and saved my life. And since then- you have been a friend in those darkest places. Your words move mountains- and save souls.
I've been listening to you since 1979. I had Replicas and The Pleasure Principal on vinyl then and I wore them both out, I played them so much. The synths in this tune take me back to those times. This is like a cousin of "Films". Can't wait for the album. Thank you Gary.
It's interesting that in the early 80's I became hooked on Synth Rock because of "Cars". Then Trent Reznor of NIN comes along and deepens my affinity for the genre. Gary writes this Gem and I can hear the influence they've both had on each other. Chart topper to be sure. Well done Gary.
I remember reading that he had a photo of all his old stunt pilot friends, and there came a point when the dead ones outnumbered the living, so he stopped flying. That might be why he has survived to 62 with his limbs intact.
Gary needs to be recognized as a "true" artist. In his 60's and look at him. Amazing talent that only gets better and better over time. He's far too underrated. Give this guy an award or medal or something.
@@zimriel I agree about the "fakery" in the whole awards thing. I was meaning that Gary is so underrated that it kind of sucks. He is so much more deserving of recognition then a lot of the phoney artist now a days who are recognized and just aren't deserving of said recognition. Pisses me off in a way.
@@maxpower8916 I get it. I say to some friends that Numan deserves as much, or more credit, than kanye. He is a musican, vocalist, and producer, as he's been revolutionary and inspiring in all 3. It it wasn't for him, Trent Reznor may not have made Pretty Hate MAchine. He's basically invented two music genres. He's defied all convention. Was honest about mental health when it was heavily stigmatized. He has come back from the ashes and become a great huband, father, and one of the few to be so expressive at this age. David Bowie, in the same league as Gary Numan. Hell of a thing. His music is dark, haunting, relatable to the young and older. His genre is his own. Since digging out of depression, his music has not suffered like what happens to other artists that aren't starving anymore. He's more expressive than when he was a kid, basically, being awkward and shy singing "cars". This man is actually a wholesome 3rd act, and has remained humble. He constantly stops to talk to fans on the street. He's a nice guy and cares. I am sad that his dad took control of his life after he got popular in '79. After pleasure principle, what he was working on when his dad began to manage him, he didn't do anything notable until he was on his own again. Since, it's been one long rise to the top.
Got the album on pre order. The guy is like a fine malt whisky, gets better with age. Come on Queenie. It's about time Gary got a Gong..... What a Legend.
i knew who gary numan was when i was 11 , 12 years old. listened as any young teenager would to his early stuff. i progressed to all kinds of music as i got older. im now 53. my taste in music got very heavy. n.i.n, rob zombie and more into black metal, metal etc...triptykon for one. heavy gothicy stuff. i didnt forget about gary but it wasnt until i went to see him in Berlin for my 50th birthday a few years ago that I was struck like a bolt of lightening when i heard this newer sound of his. I literally cried at the savage gig as it was the first time i ever saw him. It had a real tight hold on me ever since. i wasnt aware of the album jagged and all that lead to Savage, so i back tracked and was blown away by the sheer heaviness of his sound. I believe its always been in him and now this is the TRUE gary Numan all along. im looking forward to the new album and have been watching the videos so far. love it as always and gary you are a true star.

I cannot put into words what Numan’s music does for me, the feeling it generates cannot be replicated by anything else. Truly mind blowing every damn time!
Schteevee I know what you're saying. Maybe not the same feeling you're referring to, but I have found some obscure electronic artists where the odd song has generated those spine tingly feelings with powerful/beautiful synths but nobody comes close to the consistency of those "oh fuck yes!" moments (for me 1:19 is one of them) Gary Numan comes up with again and again since I started listening in the 70's. He really knows his audience doesn't he ! I wonder when he's playing around on his synths and hits on something like that he has the same 'fuck yeah!' feeling about the sounds as I/others do or because it's just something he's really good at and has done a million times, he has pride as anyone would in creating something that millions of people love but doesn't have the same feelings of 'wow' because he knows how the magic is made and it's his own creation and voice he's listening to when a song is completed. I'd love to be able to ask him about that lol
Welcome back Gary ,i been your fan since the 1979,and this song is outta this world,also Ruin with your daughter,just cant stop playing on youtube,WELLDONE BOTH OF YOU LOCKDOWN MARCH 5TH 2021
I remember when Bowie released "blackstar", I was surprised how this guy could be still relevant, original, and in his own world. Same here. still relevant, original, and in his own world...
For those who don't get this: These are what're called 'lyrics.' Those lyrics have 'meaning.' The noise is orchestrated instruments played by humans that produce 'music.' The images are to convey abstract and the reality of our situations, not just what type of tennis shoes you wear or what cars are in your garage or how many kids you've had out of wedlock with how many women. This is Gary Numan, who's way older than you, but still makes better music than you're used to listening to. Learn from this. Stretch your perception. Or there's always Kayne.
Okay this was pretty funny but there are WAAYYY worse people than Kanye. He's come out with some of the most original music of the decade, you could've put literally anyone else there :)
@@ahenathon until you know what tough times someone is talking about personally and music is their escape, I suggest you pipe down chachi, you weren't asked. You're dismissed - sad you have to spend your time trolling a musicians page to leave comments-we see you troll 👀 8 subscribers, nothing better to do than trying to get people to bite - find a hobby.

My 20yo son and I are both your greatest fans, we just watched the premiere and we're in awe!!!
So glad I tuned in for this premier, awesome as always, love you Mr Numan 😎😘
Blows my mind how there are folks on here been listening to this dude since the '70s and yet here we are connecting over this man's music 40 odd years later.. how awesome is that?
Ive been here the whole time! Cars come out when I was 6th grade
Been a fan since 78
@Paul Latham US or UK?
Agree. I was born in 63” so he’s been in my “ears” for a long time 😉
not very
42 years a Numanoid and VERY proud of that! NUMAN IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trent reznor wouldn't exist without Gary Numan. The man's a legend and a pioneer
And he would agree 100%. He’s never shied away from citing Numan as a huge influence.
His parents might have something to say on that matter.
Why?
\
So much of an influence: definitely Type-O-Negative's integration of synthetic and instrumets, as well as Peter's vocal stylings.
Ofc he even invited him on his concerts
Gary Numan has always been years ahead of the times, just like Bowie
I agree.
Just like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode.
AFX
#truth
Please don't compare him to Bowie,,,, Bowie is a much better artist.....
I swear Gary gets better every single decade.
He certainly does,Gary's one of a kind,second to none.
he does.
IKR... But it takes two 'r'... Thank you :).
So goobertown knows great music as well! Fantastic!
Possibly because he has nothing to prove now,and doing it for fun?
This man is mad underrated, he deserves way more recognition
Hear, Hear
Gary Numan is the king
I only remember his first hit Cars
@@MsElke11 his first hit was are friends electric, cars came later the same year
@@oliverrickard9970 Loved the synth in both.
I don't think he is underrated. He is absolutly brilliant! The Problem is the music business! He has no chance. He is not 19, he is not a girl, he don't wear hotpants = no chance. I don't care about this shit. Lets buy his records and give him support. In my opinion the only chance to keep Gary making records. This Man makes music for over 40 Years! Where are all these "starlets" after the 2 Years of having success and thrown away by the companies like trash? Next carreer step: I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!
One of the most underated British musicians of our times.
No drugs and no madness; just a humble guy deserving of a major motion picture soundtrack contract
Keep up the good work, Gary.
Looking forward to another tour.
Awesome, just awesome.
A man who lived one of the worst nightmares on a music's career (to see his career drowning in a well made of his own lack of creativity and self-esteem) and then made the best comeback we've ever seen by changing intelligently his musical career in a very modern-day way, making better music than NIN, Depeche Mode and others.
Unerrated??? He has 8 No 1 Hits
I love him.
@@randydarklight And if only the main stream radio stations would give him a little airtime instead of the same rubbish on a loop, he'd have eight more...
Eight number 1's ?
I bought my first Gary Numan album, The Pleasure Principle, in 1980. I'm turning 58 this year and he still fills my ears with the synths and sounds and voice I loved back then.
Same, I'm 57 and so glad I stumbled across his new music.
Same story here! I am the same age as you! Numan fans forever!!
@@LoveMyBoys3 aMEN!!! Just waiting for the household to wake up, then I'm going to blast Metal, on repeat, for the whole day, while I finish online work. Yea!!! 🎹🎶🎤
@@SwiSwiKatLOL Are you in the states?
@@LoveMyBoys3 nooo! In South Africa.
Have always loved him I’m 71 and so enjoy his music
Awesome! I thought I was the oldest die hard fan at 61 😊
What makes Gary special is that his personality is greater than his fame.
Totally agree Stephen, a truly wonderful man!
how cool is that comment 😍
Totally agree!
Met Gary after listening to his music for 43 years, such a surreal experience, what a guy🎹🎹🎹🎸🥁
@@philiplewin7134 What an honour.
Such a distinctive , definitive sound .
My dad took me to see him when I was 16 in Glasgow ,We were denied at the door by the bouncer because of my age , my dad saw the guitarist (rob holiday) goto the tour bus , so he goes down and explains the situation , a few moments later me my mum my dad and my little sister are being escorted in to see the show !!! What a show it was !!
Denied coz of ur age? I been going to watch him with my dad since I was 13 👀
@@westy0087 Some venues have an age limit because booze is on sale, I have seen it mentioned when I buy tickets online sometimes.
Awesome dad!
I first saw him when I was 14 at the Apollo in Glasgow and have followed him ever since.
fantastic!
Gary Numan was years ahead of his time. I watched him as a child in the late 70's, and I'm still here now watching him. What an outstanding, innovative musician. He really was, and is, in a class all of his own. One word sums him up aptly, that word is, 'SUPERLATIVE.'
I bought Pleasure as a kid in 1980. I grew up with this music.
100%
Can I get an Amen!?!
For forty years now, I've never been able to understand how - or why - Gary's tunes have made me feel simultaneously both uplifted and yet depressed, powerful yet hollow, valiant and yet moved almost to tears, raised to a sparkling crescendo where all I can see is the darkness below. But he always did. And he still does. And it still feels like catharsis every time. Thanks Gary.
Very well said!
Nice words.. Same feeling.. 👌👌
Ah yes, thank you! Someone has finally found an apt description for that feeling. Well put mate!
That affectional universality presaged that of Goth, Industrial, and Trip-Hop. He was WAY ahead of his time.
Moved to tears, yes absolutely
Thought I was just wierd 😀
I could listen to you scream
Pretty music to my ears
I could listen to it all day
If you want me to
I could talk about my world
How you brought about ruin
I could talk about your greed
If you want me to
I could look into evil
See a heart just like mine
I could throw away reason
If you want me to
I could walk into darkness
Find the hole you crawled into
I will be the intruder
If you want me to
You can whisper your lord's prayer
And pretend that it matters
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
You can hide in the shadows
And pretend I won't find you
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
I could listen to more lies
About promises you kept
Will you walk on water
Like you said you would?
I could make you my prisoner
But you were dead men talking
When you burned the oceans
Like you said you would
You can beg for god's mercy
And pretend that he hears you
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
You can drown in your sorrow
And pretend you were helpless
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
This was always your one life
I won't pretend that it matters

Sounds like The false world of Religion
@@markmcarthy596 egocentric religion. To survive we need to being more focused on nature than on humans. Religion was just a little chapter in our evolution. To survive in the past we needed to be kind to each other (we created moral and religion to live in the socle of a society) now, we are facing autodestruction because we didn't learn to be kind to nature ad we learned how to be kind with humans. So at this point, we can say that religion is pointless. An egocentric religion is driving us right into autodestruction (microplastic water pollution will cause infertelity, more pandemics are yet to come because animals don't have any place to live so they're forced to be in a little spaces (causing more pandemics), and extreme weather is also yet to come. Humans are just not enough smart and kind collectively.
@@markmcarthy596 Gary is inspired by nature and the human destruction of nature to write this song. The nature is trying to destroying us because we are "too many humans". This touch my heart so deeply, because he's scientifically right and at the same time.he express himself like he was nature in an artistic way. Love it!
In my opinion the best artists keep producing because it comes from the soul. What they do is express what most of us can't. But we sure feel it in the "hook". This man is genius
According to the 'man himself, he kept producing music for years after it stopped coming from anywhere *near* the soul -- but then he found his path again and he once again believes in what he's doing. If you felt the "hook" even during the times that he didn't, though, I doubt that he would begrudge you that enjoyment...
For sure 😊
Yes, but...doesn't that mean it would *cost* them some soul, every time?
The rest of the song is very similar to Nine Inch Nails - Where is everybody
He is like a book you cannot put down until the last chapter is read when ever that is with life extension technologies, Gary may live forever now.
I am approaching 33 years of age, I have always known of Gary Numan from the song 'Cars'. This last year or so I have looked into his music more. I am mainly into metal but do listen to other genres. I stumbled back to Numan his last record and I now absolutely love this man's music and his genius. Stoked for the new record.
Same here. Only knew this Gary from that Fear Factory version of Cars, which I really loved (and even had the personal blessings of the man himself, by contribution of his vocals). Then a few years later his music appeared in one of the NfS games (I think NfS Carbon...?). Checked him out a bit more. I can't really connect to his old stuff, but his newer stuff really connects well to my taste for dark and gloomy electronica.
But where would industrial metal be without this man?
Are friends electric. This was my first single. Brought it home to Cologne from Southampton in 1979. 😍
@@sptony2718 There's a Fear Factory version of Cars? :o
Similar story for me. Heard 'Cars' back in the early 90's when I was about 4 and became more into his earlier albums when I got older. Then this track appeared in my 'release radar' playlist on Spotify and it blew me away. I thought the new EP was good but the album is even better. There is still an undertone of his classic sound but such a different vibe with this album. Such an adaptable artist after 40 years. This album is as fresh as his early work. Going to see him in May 2022

I gotta say, I am a Christian, but I totally get it : "you can pray for God's mercy, and pretend that He hears you" Because in the modern era, where are the saints? I see only Liars and Demons and ruin
@@1musichombre As if it was any different in the past. To be a saint means you successfully fooled yourself as well as everyone else. At least nowadays organized religions can't be as blatant as they used to be. Like taking money in exchange for forgiveness of sins. They're still soaking up money and trying to hold on to what influence they still have but they can't get away with murder, theft, etc anymore. Not without being exposed at least.
I don't mind if people are religious as long as they keep it to themselves, but that doesn't necessarily mean I respect their beliefs (especially the ones that explicitly say people like me deserve hell and eternal torture) and organized religion has been a blight on society for too long.
I honestly can't tell for certain whether you're actually requesting this or if am I just being Captain Obvious here: ua-cam.com/video/ED5BCe07HoE/v-deo.html
Read his autobiography and also read the story behind this album theme & then you'll actually understand it's not what you think.
@@1musichombre I know this is an old comment but this has been rattling in my head since I saw the comment yesterday.
I grew up Christian, so I grew up with "God helps those who help themselves" and this song is basically calling out the exact mindset you displayed here.
Why don't YOU be the "saint" you want to see in the world?
You can drown in your sorrow
And pretend you were helpless
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
Hiding behind placing the blame on the actions of others will do nothing to shelter you or anyone else, the storms will come regardless of you being angry at the clouds.
This was always your one home

David Bowie left a void, Gary Numan filled it
Errr… no, I don’t think so. David Bowie cannot be replaced by ANYone
@@JemmaHawkins-bo2yr As a low key Bowie fan who is only just now discovering Numan, I politely disagree. Definitely filling the void for me.
Wow that man’s brain is phenomenal. The fact that he’s managed to reinvent himself and continues to sound unique is unbelievable. I’ve never heard another artist like him! He’s staying up there In my top 5 favorite musicians of all time.
He got fame so quickly and lost his way after Dance, but he is so talented , hence he has come back even better. Can't wait for 2-5-22 in Birmingham o
@@simonturner3176 you should have a good time. He said in interviews many times that he has more fun now than he ever did. That's the kind of person you want to see if they've been playing music for almost half century.
Yo you got me curious about those other top 4 musicians. It's been a couple years though so maybe that top 5 changed lol.
Can't believe there are so few recent comments. The visuals in this are enough, forget the music! OMG, the fusion of old and new just mesmerizes me. Incredible how this man continues to delight fans, both old (1979, for me) and new. LOVE.
Numan never ran out of ideas once he had control of his career. And here he is in his 50s? 60s? I dont know, im 40. The man has to be 60something, making bangers like this. I know enough people in their 60s to know that it's rare to have anyone that age that never got convinced you can be too old for certain stuff. For many reasons Numan is one of my role models. He is on the spectrum like i am. I know he was honest about it before it became a big subject of psychology, when asbergers, closer to when the name itself was coined. He's a genius, though, and his honesty about depression, anxiety, trouble with social situations when you fail to conform, or to me succeed in not conforming. He needs as much credit as kanye for his studio genius. He was making these records with a new dark sound in the background and never got airplay, although they are some of the best examples of, i wouldn't know what to call his music now. He wasn't trying to be industrial or goth. Its like he has Always wanted his own genre, and he kindof made it happen. Trent Reznor would argue in interviews he was not making industrial music. Trent totally was making music that was kindof in the gary genre. Lol . I bought up almost every release since exile. I am 40, so what makes it special is his comeback happened when i was old enough for it to be meaningful. Yet his early career is really good. Synthpop came back in the 2000s, and there are some songs from the early 80s that would have fit in if was released in 2000. i used to be a big fan of nine inch nails from downward spiral to probably with teeth. And trent was influenced by exile i believe when he made pretty hate machine. So one of the most famous artists from their era, we owed his signature sound to Gary Numan.
@@thej3799 Wow. That was really interesting and obviously close to home. I very much appreciate that. We all come to Gary from different perspectives. Me, it was because of the FM broadcast that I did. I recognized what he was. And I have been a die-hard fan since.. what.. 1979. So glad to see that others get it.
@@_MrPink_ So do either/both of you two remember when he was widely dismissed by the critics as a soon-to-be-forgotten David Bowie clone?
(I know, I know: WTF would a David Bowie "clone" even sound like?!?)
@@kenlieck7756 Well, there is only one of me. And yes, I do.
Gary Numan is living proof, that you dont burn out or fade away unless you actually chose to.
This is epic. He just keeps it goin' full force. Freakin legendary.
I can't wait to buy the full album release.
True, the amount of great songs this man has made truly is something special. Too bad the mainstream didn't pick up on him yet.
Well said dude! ❤
He is unreal,a true genius.
Love how this man hasn't lived off his past, looks and sounds better than ever. Very humble given his success, I hope this does as well as it should. Classy.
Also and quite amazingly his new music sounds fresh yet retains his original unique style.Unreal.
@@redpillnibbler4423 Agreed. You know it's him but it still sounds so fresh, respect to him.
Yup
I saw Gary Numan with Frontline Assembly and Ministry last night it was one of the best shows ever! 🎶❤️🔥🎶
I saw him for the first time ever on Monday. Same here, loved and savored every second. I have no idea why I hadn’t seen him before in the 40+ years that I’ve been a big fan. 🤦🏼♀️
The synth 2 notes are exactly like his other song 'Mercy', but that simply reminds me that this is a continuing story this album. I like the pause in the song. His voice is as good as ever. I am a huge Numan fan and love this chorus.
Yet another Gary Numan track that gives you goosebumps! Been a big fan since the early days, he just keeps getting better.
That makes perfect sense. Definitely .
Likewise
The chours of this song is soooo catchy and beautiful, just like the one on the truck he did with Jarre, Here for you.
I remember reading an interview or retrospective elsewhere where he mentioned Gemma pointed out the "Numan note" (a "vox" tinged note on high) that seems to be a signature note. This would've been in the Sacrifice era as he was putting everything back together.
I wish I could find an actual concrete reference to point to. All my physical CDs are lost somewhere in storage after a move, and I can't find an online reference to point to. But, if you listen to Gary's early catalog (e.g. Pleasure Principle, Telekon) and even some songs from "I, Assassin", "Warriors", and "Berzerker", you'll find it there.
Gary loves "anthemic" sounds, and that's where it hides.
Take a trip to almost 22 years ago with Sacrifice: ua-cam.com/video/rvvc7J1-Hho/v-deo.html
Go back a bit further, to 1984, and here it in The Secret (about a minute in, after it gets out of its own way): ua-cam.com/video/fZgNWlbJJ4o/v-deo.html Compare the hanging note at 56 seconds into The Secret to the hanging note at @2:00 - @2:03 here.
Jesus, if I look that good and sound that good at age 62, I'll be a very happy man.
Jet black Clairol hair dye ALA Trent Reznor ;)
If all of our heroes aged as well as Gary, then we'd have a Robert Smith that we don't shoo our children away from. I'm so happy that both are still making amazing music, in any case!

Gary's voice seems to improve with age. Love it
My father and I got to see and hear Gary sing this song at the Ace of Spades in Sacramento California only a few yards away.
I was hyped, beyond stoked! It was just like being in this video basically, but better than the video, so much louder and personal.
The imagery already has me sold. Looking forward to this. The bloke is a bit of a genius in my book. A humble one at that. Pretty bloody rare these days.
Totally agree. Saw him about 10 years ago and he blew me away.
Well said. He acts like it's all an accident, he is just unconsciously competent, intuitive.
I saw him perform at a festival around 12 years ago... I was blown away so decided to send a thank you email to his label on the off chance that it would get passed on... quite he surprise then when he emailed me back personally about a week later. He took the time to tell me which of his albums he thought I should check, and which he thought should be avoided. Came across every bit the humble artist. That was before the release of his last album which to me felt like a well-deserved triumph for someone who has stuck with their chosen craft regardless of what the press had to say at any given time. So Thanks for that Gary, and congratulation on what sounds like another gem of an album. I hope your proud of this one too.
With his unique voice and dark-powerhouse synths, the humble genius that is Mr Numan still excels at simultaneously feeding and haunting the deepest parts of your imagination.
You can beg for God’s mercy and pretend that he hears you. Don’t you wish you’d just listened more?
The lyrics. Always the lyrics Gary. Class.
Underrated song, needs to be appreciated by more people, loved Mr numan since the 70s
It’s about everything we are living through! AND it has a hook. Incredible.
Gary Numan is a legend. Can't wait for this. See him every time he comes to Southend on sea, Essex.

Great spot 👍
Saw Gary in the 80’s. He was great then but he’s on another level now. Awesome song.
Thanks to Gary Numan I will release my single produced by his keyboarder. Thank you Gary and the track is awesome. The only thing I have to say is that the first chorus comes after two minutes that for a commercial point is too much. Anyway he has the courage and his quality is always the top!
Masterpiece.
Fan since single digit.
A TRUE Artist.
Exceptional Musician.
I remember being eleven years old at a florida waterpark in the spring of 1980. The operators of the park had "Cars" playing on a continuous loop and I was soaking wet sliding down these plastic flumes having the time of my life. Thanks for a happy memory Gary.
This track gives more than a passing nod to Gary's genius albums in the 1980's, but has his current modern feel baked in as well. I watched him live in 2019 and left the gig just as impressed as when I first went to see him live in 1983. Great track - looking forward to the album.
Gr8 stuff, saw Gary last time in New York with Nightmare Air supporting.. Absolutely brilliant gig 👍
I'm loving it but it Intruder sounds very similar to another track off one of this last few albums....can't remember of the top of my head but it's more than a passing nod :)
I´ve always wondered, how Gary has the ability to make his music sounding so scary. Omenous, secretive, like from an other world so different than ours, like a world underneath us and totally beyond our reach, in every level. His music has this very pitch black cloud surrounding it. And that´s JUST WHY I LOVE HIS MUSIC!!!!!
I agree,he’s from another realm.
@@elliepond5984 explain
A friend posted on FB that he was seeing Gary Numan in RI and posted this song. I mad ea comment about travelin "in cars" to see him. Listened to the song, I'm hooked again...need to find the back catalog. Gonna be a busy few weeks...So happy this is so good.

Super
Billiant
Numan is totally on the money with this track... Sums up our poor ravaged planet 🌏 he will always be a musical innovator and is pushing forward with his heavy Industrial yet tuneful sound not to mention the detached steely cold yet soulful vocals... How many other artists who emerged in the late 70's are still pushing forward with their unique sound and take on the world...? 🎶 The machines still rock 🎶 🎹 🎸 🎤 🕺
In the 80's I was a rock guy, earned a living as a guitarist. I thought GN was interesting, but he sort of slipped past me. I am SO GRATEFUL to be reunited with him & his music now. This song is more "rock" than most rock. & more interesting. The note choice in the verse melody "if you want me to" is just so slightly quirky enough to be genius. It's a hook in itself. I hope he never stops.
I think Gary's music in recent years has been some of the best of his career, and that is quite a high benchmark to set.
I agree!! I think Savage is the best album he’s ever made and I’ve been on this ride since the 80s. ❤
I just recently rediscovered your music. Not heard anything since New Anger. Been binge listening to your stuff and it's amazing. The music has a sharp edge but you STILL have that same haunting voice and it's so damn perfect! Can't wait to hear this new stuff as it's released!
Yes exactly that, a haunting voice. Perfect COVID music
Welcome back. You've missed some good stuff 😁
Brad Baker
How good was his last album?!
@@barsixful His last album was amazing. Savage - Songs from a Broken World (2017). To hear the start of his musical revolution (as I call it) start with 2000 album called Pure and work your way to this album.
@@barsixful I've been loving it all. One song I became addicted to is My Name is Ruin. His daughter has that same haunting sound. Both together gives me chills.
That smooth voice with the little cries......😍
Today I randomly thought “I wonder if Gary Numan has released anything new”. So glad I did. This is more than I could have asked for.
That's lock down for you. Every cloud .......
Haha, what was the newest you heard from him before this?
That's me right now😄🤟
This man should be in the music hall of fame, he’s a genius/legend.can’t wait for the album and tour this man is getting better with age (😂) he can do no wrong for me just love everything he does there’s nothing out there that comes close to him .
Here I am, almost 56, been listening to NIN, Depeche Mode and the like and it's only NOW that I've listened to this and it's blown my mind. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I can hear his influence in so many of the songs and bands I love listening to. I'm a bit slow off the mark, yes?
It's brilliant that Gary is still evolving and he's now the professor of synth, having started as a journeyman when when the net and DIY media were pure alien.
Pat Martin(Suffolk) is one of the very best Numan Tributes,if youve not luck enough to see the real thing.
Goosebumps and Maximum volume ... that's what Gary Numan's music does to me! (and I guess to many of you) -- amazing track ...
Bingo! Hit the nail right on the head.
After all these years, Gary Numan still creates atmospheric worlds with his music. This song is as fresh as his music from 40 years ago. Amazing.
I've been a fan since 79 and I still feel like a giddy teenager when there is a new release or a pending tour. The music still gives me goosebumps both old and new. Thank you Gary for a lifetime of amazing music and fantastic memories. Long may it all continue .
Perfectly said 👍👏👍
Darkest. Strongest. Coolest.
unglaublich! Ich habe noch all seine(alten) LP's .. auch Tubeway Army .. mir war gar nicht bewusst, dass er noch SO aktiv ist! Umso größer die Freude! und seinem Stil ist er gleich geblieben! Erinnert mich so sehr an "down in the park" ... subtil, grandios, .. ich liebe es!
Oh Gary, you dark, dangerous, de-evolutionist diva. 40 years ago you propped me up and saved my life. And since then- you have been a friend in those darkest places. Your words move mountains- and save souls.
Literally, this.
♥
He looks pretty good for 65. 45 years since Replicas came out.
An alien will always remain cutting edge.
Gary, you’ve been at the forefront of it all. We are so fragile, but you provide sanctuary.
I've been listening to you since 1979. I had Replicas and The Pleasure Principal on vinyl then and I wore them both out, I played them so much. The synths in this tune take me back to those times. This is like a cousin of "Films". Can't wait for the album. Thank you Gary.
Numan is a massive part of my life, and I am so looking forward to hearing this.
It's interesting that in the early 80's I became hooked on Synth Rock because of "Cars". Then Trent Reznor of NIN comes along and deepens my affinity for the genre. Gary writes this Gem and I can hear the influence they've both had on each other. Chart topper to be sure. Well done Gary.
there is a synth in here that has NIN written all over it.
Fear factory got me into Newman, i guess its the industrial sound cross over
Absolutely love this guy's music. At 62 years old he's still composing this amazing music. Love it
he's so badass it's hard to believe that this man is actually 62
being a badass has no age limit ;)
Hope for us old folks to still be relevant.
I remember reading that he had a photo of all his old stunt pilot friends, and there came a point when the dead ones outnumbered the living, so he stopped flying. That might be why he has survived to 62 with his limbs intact.
It's amazing what you can do with black hair dye and some trendy clothes.
@@peroduanippa Let's see how fit -you- are at 62, and if you could put as much energy into concerts as he does.
Gary needs to be recognized as a "true" artist. In his 60's and look at him. Amazing talent that only gets better and better over time. He's far too underrated. Give this guy an award or medal or something.
Numan has his fans. Like Grisha Perelman, true genius doesn't need fake awards delivered by fake people.
@@zimriel I agree about the "fakery" in the whole awards thing. I was meaning that Gary is so underrated that it kind of sucks. He is so much more deserving of recognition then a lot of the phoney artist now a days who are recognized and just aren't deserving of said recognition. Pisses me off in a way.
@@maxpower8916 I get it. I say to some friends that Numan deserves as much, or more credit, than kanye. He is a musican, vocalist, and producer, as he's been revolutionary and inspiring in all 3. It it wasn't for him, Trent Reznor may not have made Pretty Hate MAchine. He's basically invented two music genres. He's defied all convention. Was honest about mental health when it was heavily stigmatized. He has come back from the ashes and become a great huband, father, and one of the few to be so expressive at this age. David Bowie, in the same league as Gary Numan. Hell of a thing. His music is dark, haunting, relatable to the young and older. His genre is his own. Since digging out of depression, his music has not suffered like what happens to other artists that aren't starving anymore. He's more expressive than when he was a kid, basically, being awkward and shy singing "cars". This man is actually a wholesome 3rd act, and has remained humble. He constantly stops to talk to fans on the street. He's a nice guy and cares.
I am sad that his dad took control of his life after he got popular in '79. After pleasure principle, what he was working on when his dad began to manage him, he didn't do anything notable until he was on his own again. Since, it's been one long rise to the top.
Got the album on pre order. The guy is like a fine malt whisky, gets better with age. Come on Queenie. It's about time Gary got a Gong..... What a Legend.
My wife agrees 💯%. 👍
Gary Numan is AWESOME:)
He's A Living Legend!
Always has been
That we can all agree on
He always has been from day one. ❤️
Yeah I wish he'd release some new music already.
i knew who gary numan was when i was 11 , 12 years old. listened as any young teenager would to his early stuff. i progressed to all kinds of music as i got older. im now 53. my taste in music got very heavy. n.i.n, rob zombie and more into black metal, metal etc...triptykon for one. heavy gothicy stuff. i didnt forget about gary but it wasnt until i went to see him in Berlin for my 50th birthday a few years ago that I was struck like a bolt of lightening when i heard this newer sound of his. I literally cried at the savage gig as it was the first time i ever saw him. It had a real tight hold on me ever since. i wasnt aware of the album jagged and all that lead to Savage, so i back tracked and was blown away by the sheer heaviness of his sound. I believe its always been in him and now this is the TRUE gary Numan all along. im looking forward to the new album and have been watching the videos so far. love it as always and gary you are a true star.
I could listen to you scream
Pretty music to my ears
I could listen to it all day
If you want me to?
I could talk about my world
How you brought about ruin
I could talk about your greed
If you want me to?
I could look into evil
See a heart just like mine
I could throw away reason
If you want me to?
I could walk into darkness
Find the hole you crawled in to
I will be the intruder
If you want me to?
You can whisper your Lord's Prayer
And pretend that it matters
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
You can hide in the shadows
And pretend I won't find you
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
I could listen to more lies
About promises you kept
Will you walk on water
Like you said you would?
I could make you my prisoner
But you were dead men talking
When you burned the oceans
Like you said you would
You can beg for God's mercy
And pretend that He hears you
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
You can drown in your sorrow
And pretend you were helpless
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
This was always your one life
I won't pretend that it matters
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
This was always your one home
I won't pretend that I'll miss you
But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
Brill. Thanks.
Album was already pre ordered before watching this, let's get Gary to UK number one.
Same for me!
He deserves it.
Same here too!!
Oh God.i hope sadly the UK music scene is just disgusting at moment
Gary still remains timeless ! I have followed him since 1979, and he still remains one of my favorite artist today !
I cannot put into words what Numan’s music does for me, the feeling it generates cannot be replicated by anything else. Truly mind blowing every damn time!
Schteevee I know what you're saying. Maybe not the same feeling you're referring to, but I have found some obscure electronic artists where the odd song has generated those spine tingly feelings with powerful/beautiful synths but nobody comes close to the consistency of those "oh fuck yes!" moments (for me 1:19 is one of them) Gary Numan comes up with again and again since I started listening in the 70's. He really knows his audience doesn't he ! I wonder when he's playing around on his synths and hits on something like that he has the same 'fuck yeah!' feeling about the sounds as I/others do or because it's just something he's really good at and has done a million times, he has pride as anyone would in creating something that millions of people love but doesn't have the same feelings of 'wow' because he knows how the magic is made and it's his own creation and voice he's listening to when a song is completed. I'd love to be able to ask him about that lol
I feel exactly the same, I've loved Gary since Are friends Electric and his music has just got better 😌
Awesomely dark and powerful. Been a fan since 79 and it’s still brilliant.
I like the fact that Gary's new music causes YT algorithm to now recommend Ministry for me.
Gary is like a fine wine gets better with age smooth
Gary is like Wine and Whiskey:
He gets better with age.
So does Cheese
I think he gets more gothic
no he isnt
Or, in a non-alcoholic analogy.. like cheese!
Gary Numan doing that Gary Numan thing. And, damn, it just works.
Numan is the best he looks and sounds fantastic this track is completely amazing dark as hell can't wait for the album I salute you NUMAN
Welcome back Gary ,i been your fan since the 1979,and this song is outta this world,also Ruin with your daughter,just cant stop playing on youtube,WELLDONE BOTH OF YOU LOCKDOWN MARCH 5TH 2021
He is awesome. He gets better as he ages. Don’t stop Gary your awesome. 😅
Absolutely astounding that with every release a new look into what makes him the godfather of electronic music... Gary you are Amazing!!!
Dude is true to his image and beliefs. Super talented man. Straight legendary.
What WEF greta puppet, soul seller, promoting the transhuman age of AI and worshipping demonic forces?
1:19 those synths give me life
I remember when Bowie released "blackstar", I was surprised how this guy could be still relevant, original, and in his own world. Same here. still relevant, original, and in his own world...
Well said.
He’s still doing his own thing - doesn’t follow trends.Respect of the highest order.
Couldn't agree more!
Blackstar was another song in which both lyrics and video gave me chills & goosebumps. Very deep and prolific
40 years ago I heard Garys voice and his music just gets better. Thank you Gary. Thanks for the memories.
Extremely dark haunting and TOTALLY FABULOUS
For those who don't get this:
These are what're called 'lyrics.'
Those lyrics have 'meaning.'
The noise is orchestrated instruments played by humans that produce 'music.'
The images are to convey abstract and the reality of our situations, not just what type of tennis shoes you wear or what cars are in your garage or how many kids you've had out of wedlock with how many women.
This is Gary Numan, who's way older than you, but still makes better music than you're used to listening to.
Learn from this. Stretch your perception.
Or there's always Kayne.
JFC, dude. Try being inclusive rather than ostracizing potential newcomers with oldhead BS.
Okay this was pretty funny but there are WAAYYY worse people than Kanye. He's come out with some of the most original music of the decade, you could've put literally anyone else there :)
So glad your still playing gary💓🙏🏾🎹 peace🎹🔉🎶
Holy hell was that beautiful. Both Gary and Chris Corner have outdone themselves.
It is absolutely phenomenal,I don't know of any other who works as hard as Gary to get their music as good as it can be.
Gary Numan is the Godfather of Industrial music.
Glad to see a true artist survive all the bullshit.
Survivor in the hardest industry.
Gary you are helping a lot of people during these difficult times. I thank you Sir
The first record I ever bought of any kind was his “Cars” in 1979. I was 11 years old. Still love it.
Often imitated but never duplicated, there is only one Gary Numan.
Something to look forward to in these tough times-can't wait!
Tough times? Wait for actual war with that comment.
@@ahenathon until you know what tough times someone is talking about personally and music is their escape, I suggest you pipe down chachi, you weren't asked.
You're dismissed - sad you have to spend your time trolling a musicians page to leave comments-we see you troll 👀 8 subscribers, nothing better to do than trying to get people to bite - find a hobby.
Back under your bridge you go and back to Numan being an icon, a legend and one of the coolest humans I've ever met 👌
@@nataliegordon1007 Nice attempt, but I see you, troll.
@@ahenathon please try gaslighting someone else this window is closed 🔐😁
#triggeredtroll
@@nataliegordon1007 No one normal would have reaction like yours on a joke. I did not seen a troll in years now. I thought your kind is dead now, but some trolls are persistent, as I see here.
Gary Numan is a legend, and the legend continues with this piece of work. Just brilliant.
