Refreshing Classic Numan, so happy to see it again! Reminds me how special, how beautiful Futurism is. His Teletour shows remain a benchmark for their overwhelming size, especially the Wembley performance. I've been a follower since 1980, I still don't think many realize the lasting influence of his work, it is truly timeless and very human.
Been a Gary Numan fan since 1979.,.I was 12 yrs old… now :42 yrs later still a huge Gary Numan fan!!! Gary just keeps getting better better, as we all know everything in life changes… Gary’s style of music 🎶 has changed as well… SAVAGE & INTRUDER are Brilliant!!! I cannot listen to Complex without crying, as a Gary Numan concert I saw on ytube I believe it was from 2018…he sang Complex and it was dedicated to Paul Gardiner’s death… may Paul and Cedric Sharpley R.I.P. taken from this world to soon , never forgotten 🌹🙏. I am seeing Gary Numan on March 11, 2022 in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 The Intruder Tour…I cannot wait!! May our Lord and Saviour bless Gary Numan and his beautiful family!! Take care everyone, with luv from Toronto , stay safe Luv LA 2021 Gary Numan is pure gold!!📀📀💕💕🎹
Buenísimo!!! Tengo 30 y desde la adolescencia que escucho este tipo de musica y eso que no es de mi época. Gary numan me encanta su estilo y musica. No como la De ahora es fea... Ojala hubiese mas personas amantes de este tipo de musica
I just came here after watching a recent live performance in Sydney. This is better! The modernisation of synths and years of experience from Gary and his band have somehow removed a little of the power this song holds. Don’t get me wrong, both performances are great, but this recording makes me yearn for the authenticity of his original shows and recordings.
lyrics = They won't come back You know it's always the same And they're sure to forget Saying, "Everyone lies" [Verse 2] So I'm down to this I'm down to walking on air And you're here by my side With all your waving and smiles [Verse 3] Please keep them away Don't let them touch me Please don't let them lie Don't let them see me
Also I think Billy Curry from Ultravox was responsible for the fantastic 'wobbly' sounding synth. I know he toured with Gary Numan. Check out 'On Broadway' live. Billy's synth is gorgeous sounding.

The absolute power in those synths, especially at around the 30 second mark and just after. Breathtaking!
Agreed
I was there on the night, and even in 2023 this still gives me goosebumps.
Just a beautiful track.One of my fave Numan tracks to date.
Those analogue synthesisers are to die for.
Buenísimo!!!

I was this concert when it played in Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. My future wife was there with me.
A top date 👍
Wow! Thanks for posting the show! So amazing, as you said one of the greatest of all time.

Gary is a LEGEND..top track
ASD no one new this song really speaks to me as iam also Autistic , i love you Gary !
lyrics =
They won't come back
You know it's always the same
And they're sure to forget
Saying, "Everyone lies"
[Verse 2]
So I'm down to this
I'm down to walking on air
And you're here by my side
With all your waving and smiles
[Verse 3]
Please keep them away
Don't let them touch me
Please don't let them lie
Don't let them see me
Has anyone got the patch sheet for this on the Odyssey as I can't replicate it on my KARP ODYSSEY.
buenardo :v
he sung the last verse the wrong way round???
Yes lol
Feels like Vienna -Ultravox vibes to me
This was written/released 3 years before Vienna.
Thank you for the info.Both songs have beautiful violins ,maybe this is why they resemble one another.
Also I think Billy Curry from Ultravox was responsible for the fantastic 'wobbly' sounding synth. I know he toured with Gary Numan. Check out 'On Broadway' live. Billy's synth is gorgeous sounding.
Thanks for this ,so it was synth then .Really amazing
