Oh this beautiful man saved my life at 13 and he's still doing it. As an unwanted, undiagnosed Aspie, isolated and in-the-way throughout childhood in the 70s, he connected me with the greatest literature and painters, to the fact I wasn't alone, and these guys like me were Cool. His lyrics and musical ingenuity washes over me like a glimpse into Emptiness Directly. So thank you lovely man. Gary Numan makes my soul fly.
:) Keep on keeping on.
What's an aspie? I'm not familiar with that.

How is Gary Numan not more popular?? Such an under-appreciated artist.
Harley Freeman
in many ways it's that he's not popular. His music if popular would attract so many "edgy" kids and hipsters who actually don't understand his music at all. So more power to him :)
Yeah. The norm seems to be that people--even people in their forties an fifties--are just not into 'deep' music (anything that requires a great deal of thought or appreciation), and that's unfortunate; but it is their loss. Gary deserves a lot more credit than he's been given.
The industry is to blame.
Musicians adore him, especially anyone who's ever touched a synthesizer! His influence is utterly enormous.
i'm 62 been to see him only 4 times unfortunately but still look forward to anything he releases ...still my no.1 music artist
i am 56 years old and still listen to this,,
Im 64 and still listen to this !
Snap. He's the greatest.
Heard My Name Is Ruin... immediately broke down and bought the album. Heard this song... and just broke down. Decades of listening to this man and I love him more now than ever.
Wow I did the same after hearing "My name is Ruin." I'm glad I bought it!
A H C!!! Yes!!! Could Not Agree More!!! My Name Is Ruin Is His Best To Date!!! If That Was At All Possible!!! It Rocked Totally It Showed Us Gary Has Gone On To Better!!! Bigger!!! Even More Brilliant!!! He Is The Maestro Of New Wave Synth Music....The Worlds Leading Edge Of High Tech Synthesizer, Since He First Pioneered It In 1978 From Then To This Very Date 2018 and Still Going Strong!!! FORTY ONE YEARS OF COMPOSING AND PLAYING THE BEST MUSIC EVER OF SYNTHESIZER AND VOCALS AND LYRIC'S!!! What Great Recordings Will Gary Make Next!!! Front Edge Stuff Be Sure Of That!!! There Is Another Numan , [Webb] , Coming Thru The Trenches!!! One Of His Daughter's, " Persia!!! "
Who Has Great Vocal Range Live, And Has Been Doing Live Gigs With Her Father To Great Effect!!! YES IT'S ALL GOOD!!!
It's so amazing to see someone grow to be better than ever with such a seemingly endless career and growing through darkest times into such a beautiful place.
especially performing with Persia and seeing him dance with such exaltation to her singing, that's such a life goal.
Me too I couldn't believe what I was hearing and feeling, he's a great trip.
I did too! I *HAD* to own it!!!
What a song
Deep, meaningful, sad, powerful
But musically and lyrically brilliant
Only with a loud system or headphones do you really appreciate the power in the instruments 🎹 played here
It’s magical.
Love this
Extremely Loud. Nothing else gives this Legendary music justice.
Totally agree with your commentary.very powerful with a nice loud bass driven system like in my car
Lyrics
I know your voice
And the words you speak lie
I know your face
When you're trying to hide your fears
I know your breath
When a thought makes you cry again
I know you well
And I've seen your tears
And it all began with you
I was born then died you came to me
And it all began with you
On the day you made the world
When you whisper my name I'll be with you
When you reach out your hand I'll be with you
When you walk to the light I'll be with you
When you stand before god I'll be with you
All that we are
Is more than I dreamed
All that we shared
Is more than a life can hold
All that we have
Is more than we'll ever need
All that we lost
Is nothing but time
And it all began with you
And it ends for me the day you leave
And it all began with you
So today we stop the world
When you whisper my name I'll be with you
When you reach out your hand I'll be with you
When you walk to the light I'll be with you
When you stand before god I'll be with you
Blesséd are the lyrics posters!
He moves with the times. Not many can. Very under-rated.
With but from below ☺️
I've been a fan since 1979, I'm now 51 years old and this man never ceases to amaze me!! Anyone who says Gary can't write a ballad needs there heads seeing seeing to, I personally think this is one of his best tracks in over twenty years!!!
Same! "The Pleasure Principle" was the first album I ever bought (cassette back then). Wore it out.
Sadly I never paid attention after 'cars, purely on a nostalgic whim I listened to "My name is ruin..........................HOLY SHIT!!!!! I'm just now finding all this music!!!!!! Outstanding stuff!!!! Where the fuck was I all this time?????
Me too. Saw him perform this in Liverpool he's amazing. I've been in love with this man since the beginning 😍
Since the fantastic The Pleasure Principle! I'm 51 too! Grettings from Portugal!
I've still got all the early albums on cassette and vinyl boxed up!
Today was the first time I listened to this song. I honestly didn't know Gary Numan had all these totally awesome songs. THIS IS MUSIC. I've NEVER heard anything like these lyrics until today. I'm in total awe. This is poetry, music, and beauty, above and beyond any of the crap that comes out these days.
I'm glad Gary has someone who means so much to him.
HE WROTE THIS SONG FOR HIS WIFE AND IT DESCRIBES HIS LIFE IF SHE DIED BEFORE HIM AND HOW HE WOULDNT COPE BECAUSE HE LOVES HER SO MUCH
GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL SONG
have you seen their daughter?
Ok thanks stop screaming please
I WAS terrified!... I'm... Healing...
Thank you... My Love & hugs -TheApsylum
@@djneska DaughterS. There's 3 of 'em. All lovely-looking girls.
Still listening to him 40 years later
🌝🌝
I'm listening to this in my car, where I feel safest of all.
CobaltBob Did you lock all your doors? Important for safety is that.
It's the only way to live
in cars
It's luck you can only receive then.
CobaltBob
I prefer to listen to it down in the park
Gary's fondness for Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" filters through, for me, in this track - which is no bad thing. Interesting and encouraging to hear Numan push his vocals. Good stuff!
My thoughts and feelings on this one too. Very soothing song to listen to.
yes! it reminds me a lot of that song too :0
listening again it really does sound very much like wicked game :P nice song though!
Yes totally agree. Good spot.
Paul Denman prefer Him's version of that song personally though the original was great.
Almost 40 years ago when I was a young boy I remember phoning ‘Noel Edmond’s Swap Shop’ to speak to THE Gary Numan! And I’m listening to this now as someone who is almost 50 - it’s quite incredible and also a bit sad at the same time!
I remember listening to that! Was he dressed in the Telekon jump suit or was it the Dance period? Where does the time go?
A sharp suit if I remember correctly. Yes where does the time go eh? He's certainly changed far less than I have - and I'm sure you too.
'We all grow old'
I feel the same way about Jesus
Brillaint .
Oh my God- Gary is better than ever. He appears relieved, no chains holding him anymore. This song travel directly in my bloodstream
I know your voice
when the words you speak lie
I know your face
when you're trying to hide your fears
I know your breath
when a thought makes you cry again
I know you well
and I've seen your tears
And it all began with you
I was born then died
you came to me
And it all began with you
on the day you made the world
When you whisper my name
I'll be with you
When you reach out your hand
I'll be with you
When you walk to the light
I'll be with you
When you stand before God
I'll be with you
All that we are
Is more than I dreamed
All that we shared
Is more than a life can hold
All that we have
Is more than we'll ever need
All that we lost
Is nothing but time
And it all began with you
And it ends for me the day you leave
And it all began with you
So today we stop the world
When you whisper my name
I'll be with you
When you reach out your hand
I'll be with you
When you walk to the light
I'll be with you
When you stand before God
I'll be with you
Elisa Shields Thank you, I always have difficulty with understanding his singing😁
"I was born then died?" --> "I was born the day"
Elisa Shields thank you
Thank you Eli...
My soul has been brought to its knees.
Numan never fails to impress me. It's 40 years since Tubeway Army's first album he's still putting out incredible music and he hasn't lost a single step. Not many artists can have that kind of career longevity without selling out or resorting to producing schlock. Numan is amazing.
Says so many things to everyone who needs it. Not being morbid. But I'll want this played at my funeral.
Just beautiful....who else feels a hint of Vangelis?
Vinyl pre-ordered.
Vangelis is music and this is music. So... ok?
Mr Webb...a genius since he was born ..the greatest arranger of noises ever !!!!
Great musician gone under the radar for decades now... We were always there...
One of the best best songs,
I still love it.
Gary Numan belongs in no genre,
he is a class of it's own !
From the 80's till today, Mr. Numan continues to create a whole interactive experience with each song: and this is no different. This darkly loving ballad moved it's Listener's to great sweeps of emotions which isn't easy in today's modern apathetic world. Genius. Brilliant.
It is amazing what you discover after all these years. At 51 I look around and find... Gary Neuman. "Cars" was the last I heard (back in the day) and went about my business. Years turn, time counts... and I turn around. I saw "SAVAGE" and thought... "Give it a go" and I now... I have found the beginnings of you to what you are now sir. AMAZING... simply amazing.
I want more... we NEED more of this. Creative, music that reaches and resonates to us more than 3.5 minutes at a time... songs that sing to your bones and you carry and make YOU remember, deep down, WHO YOU ARE. THIS... to me, is what this means.
The man is a true genius.
Well said.
Excellent sum up!
wow. after all these years. welcome home, brother ❤
I already missed the inception of Gary Numan as I was born in '83, so if he's still releasing music why the hell should I be missing him now?? Godfather of a genre and a prolific influence to some incredible artists. Get this legend more radio airtime!!
His new album Savage is number 1 in the UK. America has no clue what real music is.
Agreed
as an american you aren't wrong rest of the world knows good music meanwhile we are praising some kid covered in rainbows and shitty tattoos making mumble rap under the name of 69 like a middle schoolers joke on a locker.....
Some of us do have a clue. I've been a fan of his since 1979. He's a damn genius.
some of America is hip.
American here.
What a real song. About Love. They say there are two most important days to a person. The day you were born and 2nd when you find out why.. Then he says in song so beautifully " I was born when you came into my world'.. Hes with her even at the end even in the begining of 2nd half if Eternity standing up for her to God. Wow a advocate for her. Just a special real song.
Why is there so much insipid, mass produced, uninspired horse shit getting played on the radio and tv when this guy is writing amazing songs like this? I just don't get it.
Because "the market" is controlled by a few dozen people who either finance, write or produce everything we're being force fed. The force feeding is achieved by "greasing" the radio stations.
Only a few artists left who doesn't give a shit and can afford not to. Gary is one. IAMX is another (which is a friend of Gary's btw and has made the video for Ruin). Lorde and Imagine Dragons are good too and can play live btw, though they are partially forced through the meatgrinder.
Sadly most if not all of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Madonna and everything on the Spotify hitlists are pure crap written by the same three people that has plaqued the music business since Take That and Backstreet Boys. People will always choose wrong when exposed to it for long enough and in large enough numbers - just as convenience trumps sound and artistic quality every time, which is why everything on iTunes, Spotify and even CD's today is brickwalled and distorted so they can be played "loud" on a smartphone without crackling sounds from the minute crap speakers.
peter fox The world is that way by design. You have to dig deep for anything of true value and beauty... for the exceptional. Most people don't care to do this, so they consume what's easily accessible.
AKITM I hear what your saying,like I've always said.Its easy to feed pigs,they'll eat anything. I've been a numan fan since I was 13 years old.Im 52 next month.Numan was the reason I got into music in the first place, he was just so different from all of that dreadful 80's pop music that was around at the time.The drones can keep their sheeple radio and listen to cattle FM and whatever dross the x factor regurgitates next.They are welcome to it.
peter fox not quite as old as you but not far off it but totally agree with you !!!!
It's always been that way.
Gary and David are the best artists in worlds history
You need a good sound system to truly enjoy how mega this song is !
Sounds pretty good through my little computer speakers, so will sound even better on my proper hi-fi!!!
It is wonderfully mastered, it might be a new reference song for my studio
His new stuff is certainly amazingly well produced and mastered! It will just keep on rewarding you if you listen on better systems. YET, and this is the kicker, I've got a home studio setup that tends to reveal flaws in the whole mixing and mastering process, and his music still sounds better than ever! Even more amazing when you consider it is basically done by one guy in a home studio these days!
Ade Fenton has got an awful lot to do with it as well- have you been following the album's gestation on Pledge Music?
TheFeenee I only just found out about that a few days ago, but I'm tempted to order the album from them just to get access to all the behind the scenes stuff there!
gary is a elemental force unto himself,an angel of alarm in the wilderness.....
My introduction to Gary as an 11year old obsessed Bowie fan was actually through my uncle who would dress as him and was a huge fan but also my friend's older sister played his music whenever I was round visiting as she knew I liked him. I will get to see him one day!
Crowsbaneful I would love to see gorgeous Gary in real life
I never gave Gary Newman a thought over the decades as he wrote a song when I was a kid "cars" and always assumed he would be up his own arse. I stumbled across a random video of him on you tube and he was talking about his inspirations for music. I instantly loved him, the way he was generous and down to earth and clearly a lovely fella...you can't hide that. So I listened to a few of his songs and I am blown away. I have been brought to tears, amazed by the beauty both uplifting, dark but touching the soul. After years of looking for something genuine in a mire of crap that has become the music industry this discover for me is like coming out of the dessert into a fresh oasis and a new universe.
One of the best comeback albums I have ever heard.
God Bless you Gary ....so much strength and patience
When you face God I will be there with you. How much more can you love than this statement.
Just come across this for the first time and it moved me to tears. Beautiful lyrics that mean so much to me. Pure class, poetic, and so genuine. Gary you're a true diamond!!
Gary Numan is KING
Gary Numan's music isn't only good, it's great works of art & transcends the soul to the farthest reaches of the known universe.(& I dare say even beyond that) Keep your feet planted into the ground, Mr Numan, & keep pushing your creative musical enchantments to its limits.
Oml, this is how I feel when I listen to his music. He opens gates to another worlds for us. I can't describe it really, but this is how I feel.
Außergewöhnlich macht meine Musik ein gutes Gefühl, ihre Musik trifft meine Seele
This has already become the song i want played at my own funeral.
Geniuses are always underrated
Oh my....this is beautiful!! What harmony and meaning,
This is music.
Love it, love ,it...
Most beautiful song in the world.
He saved my life
Me and my children are my world. Gary you amaze me every day
Madly in love with this new album. Just wow
Tara Rodgers his work just keeps getting better.
It was a re discovery of Gary Numan for me. His newer work is AMAZING!
Agreed
Still rocks the new wave of genius. Love u GARY NUMAN
The. Most. Amazing. Musician. EVER.
lol
Turd breath
this song does get better and better......every listen I fall deeper into this song.
One Proud Dad.. Best Single for years
This man gets better and better seen Gary numan love at uea wow what a concert
Gary Numan… so underrated and under appreciated.
Most beautiful love song ever.
Insane that this dosent get the airplay it deserves..
Insane..shame on the bbc
I have so much respect for this man. I am a metal head, but I this music I really, really am beginning to like it.
Yea he's a genius
We Love Gary 💗 In All The Years 👽
Fantastic track .
Gary is so talented 😍
A true legend kept frosty throughout all these years. Luv new rls
I guess maybe one of the biggest crimes is that people knew Gary was huge in the 80s but nobody really stops and think that he might still be making music and that they should at least check don't forget about Gary
A very similar thing happened with Shriekback. They were slightly famous in the 80s, but they're doing their best stuff now, and hardly anyone knows about it.
Good God, Gary only gets better and Better.
Taken my breath away. This track is nothing short of simply stunning. Even just listening, I feel almost honoured. Amazing talent.
Stunningly dark and breathtakingly beautiful
Oh my God this man has nailed it again, after all these years(I first saw him in concert Birmingham in 1980)he never fails to come up with the goods, I love this song, a beautiful man, with a beautiful voice and soul. What will we do when he's no longer here, will this song be our swan song?? The mans a genius, long live Gary Numan xx
There is no one else. There is only oneself.
This song should easily have over 100mil views.
Gary is one of the rare breeds of singers whose vocals don't deteriorate and they sound 21 for life.
Been listening to this song all day. I lost a friend a couple days ago, and one of the last things she told me before she lost consciousness for the last time was that she had napped while listening to your music and she felt better afterward. I have no idea if you'll ever see this or if it will be lost in the noise, but just on the off chance, I wanted to say, you had a big fan in her and you made her final days a little bit easier. Thank you.
Gary Numan, since 79 kept on giving magical music to us, keeping up with the world and music genres, so have I, david Sylvain and off shoots of Japan, killing joke, Bauhaus, etc, its all in my DNA, this is brilliant and all inspiring, one day staggered in the future all our musical heroes will depart from this world, gary thanks for all your gems, just like bowie, you are great
Numan's still the greatest yodler outside of Bavaria
I think Mr Numan might just have written the best love song ever!
Ade F. deserves a lot of credit too, no one ever mentions him.
Mark Pattison I agree ade deserves some credit for this.
WE LOVE ADE !!
Trent Reznor of NIN makes no secret of his admiration. NIN is also inspired music that not many understand. Their loss is our gain.
@@maureenwagg5305 Pretty sure we "understand" NIN music, but thanks for commenting.
In 2018 my step dad listened to this and I loved the song and now I listen to it all the time
I always loved Gary's style and music, always have and always will, ever since I heard Are Friends Electric back in May 1979... When I was really young, really struck a cord in me, wasn't even into music back then. this song really is emotional... sort of a mix of old and new... I love it!
Every musician of all genres with a loop, bleep, boop, sample and synth owes a huge thanks to Sir Gary Numan! I love his edgier music of the past few albums! And Persia singing on “My Name is Ruin” eclipses everything around her, even dad!
#F--kingPioneer #Icon #AspergersGenius - First time I have been moved to tears by a song in a very long time. - Gary Numan is sublime here; the layers of the work, the nods to Jean Michelle Jarre and Vangelis (even Moby, who obviously drew inspiration from Numan), the sounds of synth from the late '70's and early '80s ... all are just heart-melting. Reminds me of my childhood, coupled with being in love with the man of my dreams. - For me, this is absolute gold. - Thank you, Gary, for this lovely piece of work.
Well said.
This song speaks volumes to me, and I feel like we cannot ignore “the student becoming the teacher” in terms of Gary’s influence from Reznor and NIN. This song is so reminiscent of La Mer, The Great Below and a few other more melodic soundscape songs.
This song is beautiful and I love every second of it but we cannot deny the influence of NIN upon this latest album.
I feel the same about Jean Michel - maybe a little Vangelis - but in total 100% Gary Numan and a great emotion transfered by this Song my heart
So glad I live in the galaxy spawned with Gary in it.
Absolutely bawled my eyes out. Gary goes full on Hans Zimmer and cranks up the emotion to breaking point. Beautiful, magnificent and astonishing.
Absolutely!!!
He's incredible. I love his music and always have.
I can't wait for Gary's Sci-Fi novel that this is the soundtrack to!! The album is so evocative, that the story sounds amazing, already! PLEASE, Gary, finish it and put it out there for your fans to devour and let this masterpiece play along while I'm reading!
Tears just came down hearing this.. its just beatific and so desperately lonely. I love it :)
I paint a picture in my mind, of my loved one, of Gary's loved one. This track has to be the most significant one on the record. The depth here is just uncharted. Gary's work is truly inspired and complicated. Been with the man since 1978, and hope to be with him forever. Because it all began... with him.
I absolutely love this man!
me too...
Random Bongo Guy It's hard not to! 😁
=)
Pure magic ,this song sends a chill down my spine ,Electric!!!
He's back big time recently and I've followed him from the late seventies what a singer / Writer he is !!
i am lost for words, gary numan is a genius....this track is simply wondersome
Gary Numan at his best. this song is superb.
I won't lie, I hadn't heard a song from this man in decades. The first and only song I heard from you was Cars and I listened to it again and again and again, etc, all through the years. Then today I was listening to a song on youtube and My Name Is Ruin came on right after the other song and I was like, Damn, this is like Cars all over again! I just hope that life won't get in the way of me listening to more of this brilliant singer/songwriter in the years to come!
Gary, this song is another one of your wonderful pieces of art. God Bless and thanks for decades of great music and incredible shows.
met Gary on his splinter tour in 2013 and told him what an inspiration he is. His music is phenomenal. Can't wait for the new album and the tour. going to Nottingham in October to see him
Saw him at the Observatory in Santa Ana, CA the other week.. long-time fan, first-time concert. Outstanding, he puts on a stellar show. Moves pretty good for his age, I wish I had his energy!
Timeless!
dark and beautiful as always - Gary just keeps getting better
Beautiful.
Hauntingly beautiful is the best way to describe his work I think. I'm always in love with dark sounding music. Especially when made so masterfully.
Old & New Nostalgic and Fresh like remembering a childhood dream you had forgotten. So familiar but New
Stunning, amazing, haunting. Love it.
One of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard 🎶
Beautiful song. It is good to hear Gary having his voice really upfront and laid bare in this track. Haunting and beautiful song with awesome production (Ade Fenton does it again) - Cant' wait for the album to land - pre-ordered via his pledge campaign whoo hoo!!!!
