No drugs and no cigarettes! The secret of looking and sounding fantastic! Other musicians made fun of you back in the day but most of them resemble mummies now. Looking great Gary!
Mr. Numan is THE true godfather & o.g. of this style of dark, deep, synth. Hands down, no question about it! His new stuff is simply amazing and just keeps getting better with age. Thank you Gary for not disappearing into obscurity. If you’re recently discovering his music, do yourself a favor and search out his back catalog...As a solo artist and with Tubeway Army. Industrial music, 80’s & modern synth owe a lot to this man. Just ask Trent Reznor...
So i just gotta say, im 21 and never heard of Gary Numan until my late teens but i only new him from Cars back in the 80's... but then RUclips saw that i watched Cars music video and was like "here is another song" it was My Name is Ruin .... my first thought, HOLY SHIT, he's done an amazing job keeping up with the times! This modern Gary Numan is now a favorite of my playlists
AWESOME that the Youth of today ARE paying attention! DON'T miss Him (our G💀THFATHER) LIVE NOW! The last 2 times have been life-altering! And, ANY one telling you he sounds like NIN?! IT'S REVERSED! NEW•WAVE101! ATTA KIDS! 🖤💀🤖👽🎶😉🤘
So the sad, unhappy teenager that I was could relate to Gary and his lyrics and now this sad, unhappy middle aged woman is still relating to them! Hope it gets better when we're OAPs Gary! 😉😄😄xxx
If it's any consolation, you can connect to Gary's music on a deeper level than some people, and therefore gain a greater appreciation. IMO this is the most long lasting connection between a song and its audience. Most of the music that stays with us our whole lives has this emotional connection. Same with memories, those with strong emotional connections are remembered longer and more vividly. I like your sense of humor, and I'm with you on the "all things fluffy(and feathered)". Have a good week. Peace. P.S. I was a fellow teenager in the 80's too. Loved The Pleasure Principle(on vinyl).
The Organic Matrix aah thanks 💜💜 sometimes think life would be simpler if I didn't feel so deeply, but I suppose it could be boring too! 😉 mind you I could do with a 'boring' break for a change! 😄😄 happy new year! 🎊🎊🎉🎆🎆🎇
Every album is a STORY...Progressively... The man has been putting out clues right in front of you .4 decades of STORYTELLING & look where we are today Brothers & Sisters.😎👍🌎
This guy. Somehow he's summed up the experience of aging and failing, waking up to a global state that makes no sense to its citizens and fear for our children's future in the course of one song. While I like his body of work something changed on this album. This is light years above what he's done prior. He's suddenly an amalgamation of Robert Frost and Rachel Carson lyrically. This may be the most poetic work of 2017. This entire album is like a reawakening recorded.
If you can, do yourself a favor and see Gary Numan live. Amazing show in every way imaginable. Me Not You is the perfect opening act, like a well chosen wine to compliment the main course.
I absolutely agree! Me Not You was the perfect opening act. I watched both in Portland OR. Of all the concerts I've attended, Gary Numan's was the most captivating and hypnotic. He and his band were on point every single song. I was pleasantly mesmerized the entire show.
I saw them in Toronto too!!! Both acts were excellent...But Gary was on another level. As a synthpop fan since about 12 years old, I've waited 31 years to see him live and it was fantastic. Loved every second. Thank you Mr Numan!
Is that a voice calling me softly? Nothing in here is quite how it seems Is that a whispers touch on my fear? Am I awake or lost in old dreams? Everything's so cold The air is so stale There should be nothing here to see Is this a warning? Like in the black book There can be no one else but me I see a darker shade of darkness I hear a shadow hide in the light I feel a suffocating tension Within a terrible desire Everything's so cold The air is so stale There should be nothing here to fear But I am breathing A child's laughter Can any part of this be real? Everything I work for Everything I long for is always just too far Everything I hope for never comes to be Everything I bleed for burns a scar on me Everything I fight for leaves a bitter taste Everything I cry for looks into my face Everything I scream for barely knows my name Everything I'd die for will die just the same In here with me Is this the truth of your forgiveness? Are you the stranger stood at my door? Are you the end of things come calling? Are you the answer that I've wished for? Everything's so cold, the air is so still And there is nothing here but me If I belong here, and this is mercy Then there is no place I'd rather be Everything I worked for Everything I longed for was always just too far Everything I hoped for never came to be Everything I bled for burned a scar on me Everything I fought for left a bitter taste Everything I cried for laughed into my face Everything I screamed for barely knew my name Everything I died for died just the same In here, with me
Thank you Gary...exactly how I feel and everything I think when I am forced to face myself... Trying to practice doing that... the most horrible but freeing thing I could ever do.. :)
Thank you for your post! Albeit 2 years ago) I do have to correct the lyrics a tad. the video version is different from the album version. Just for anyone who may try (or have tried) to read along with the video. Is that a voice calling me softly? Nothing in here is quite how it seems Is that a whisperer search or my fear?

LOVE THIS! The simplicity is actually very nice, the focus is on the passion and movement. I got the vibe he's in shelter on his trek to find his daughter.
I Hope some day see you in concert Mister Numan. your last Lp is your Best really great creation. great video. Great sound. Great song. Come to Porto for a concert.Portugal waits for you mister Numan.
Doesnt matter how many times i hear this..always gives me the goosebumps..been a fan for a long time and this is a prime example to the younger generation of what can be done through hard graft,struggle and never giving up.NUUUUUMMAAANN!
Just had the VIP event of a lifetime the other day. Met Gary, got all my vinyls and 2 posters signed, and had a good talk with him. After the sound check/rehearsal, two other VIP people and I stood outside the venue and talked for a few minutes before Gary's band came out and asked us what we'd recommend to eat in Houston. The two VIP guys, the four band members, and myself went to have dinner and I got to talk to them and know them as well. They're really awesome and funny guys. I'll never forget it!!
its just nice to see the bloke enjoying what he does again. unbelievable live performer, great atmosphere. love the whole industrial thing hes going for.
GARY never ever let´s us down. Been listening to this for like the the first time!!! He makes the best music these days!! Always has but he gets better as the years go by!!!
A man of nearly 60 has more originality than most of the kids in popular music today
Have faith in the kids, man! The babes are making great music again, you just have to look for it. ;)
Jake Nolen so true this is how it’s done
Gary your a legend I went to Savage tour brilliant and meet n greet if you see this Mr Numan remember the Looe festival I brought it up with you
Amen to that
Almost as if he's had some time to practice.
No drugs and no cigarettes! The secret of looking and sounding fantastic! Other musicians made fun of you back in the day but most of them resemble mummies now. Looking great Gary!
I'm too late for the party... who dare to make fun of Mr. Numan?
Typical people pointing down at others just to compliment another. All people are beautiful in their own way. Smokers, drinkers, non smokers..fk you 🙄
Think you'd be shocked if he took his syrup off.
@@wiseowl1580 Oh yeah, smoking and drinking worked out great for all the artists of this era who are dead after their third liver transplant.
Great post.

Eloquently stated. However, i believe that the proper term is..."G💀THFATHER". BESTEST 🥁s too!

There is hope afterall with you young wiper-snappers..:)
I wish I had known about his current music awhile ago! He is so bad ass!
Well done, catch up on years of good music by the greatest!
The times are keeping up with him.
AWESOME that the Youth of today ARE paying attention! DON'T miss Him (our G💀THFATHER) LIVE NOW! The last 2 times have been life-altering! And, ANY one telling you he sounds like NIN?! IT'S REVERSED! NEW•WAVE101! ATTA KIDS! 🖤💀🤖👽🎶😉🤘

Forget "Gary's still got it," Gary is better than ever!!!
Agreed. His new music has another dimension, and he sounds way better in his live performances.
Couldn't agree more
Totally ❤😊
THIS!
Every album is a STORY...Progressively... The man has been putting out clues right in front of you .4 decades of STORYTELLING & look where we are today Brothers & Sisters.😎👍🌎
The drums on this....❤️
This mans lyrics...pure poetry OMG
It's official Gary Numan still kicks ass.
😄👍

That man is absolutely fantastic
Bloody brilliant
Karren Bailey succinct and correct.
F***ing yes !!!
Numan at the top of his game.This is who you call a LEGEND ! ! !
If you can, do yourself a favor and see Gary Numan live. Amazing show in every way imaginable. Me Not You is the perfect opening act, like a well chosen wine to compliment the main course.
Saw them both in Toronto and couldn't agree more.
I was at the Toronto gig, too. Incredible evening!
Saw he and they at First Avenue in Minneapolis on Nov. 28th...KILLER show, with excellent artists. A night to remember! :>
I absolutely agree! Me Not You was the perfect opening act. I watched both in Portland OR. Of all the concerts I've attended, Gary Numan's was the most captivating and hypnotic. He and his band were on point every single song. I was pleasantly mesmerized the entire show.

Gives me Jareth from Labyrinth vibes... Love this man.
Very powerful track and good video Numan is definitely still on top of the game
There's just something about Gary Numan 👏🏽
*HE KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!*
*Good Job Gary!*
you're right
Im only ten and i loooove his music 😁😁😁
Ciaran Redmond well done young one!
You're going places, kid. 😎 Go. Go share your findings with your peers and teach them the ways of good taste. ♡
Woah that's great!
This voice ❤
So glad this song was chosen for the next video! And I gotta say, Gary is still quite handsome ;)
Molly Lenore quite? Lol.
im 31 and wouldnt mind a bit of numan
Molly Lenore...MUST be a vampire, cause he's timeless...AND, I wouldn't mind if he sucked my blood! 🍷😏😉😎😍
Molly Lenore he married his greatest fan
I see his videos today and it is making me want to make a change for myself! I'm putting down the burrito and taking the dawggies out for a walk!!!
"Savage" ......Incredible.......Pure Pleasure.....Beyond words.......
Too depressing. Too easy. Many words.
Genius genius genius forever
Fantastic track and video. Numan at his best.
"I see a darker shade of Darkness" .... sums up depression perfectly
this one's going to be a grower. "my name is ruin" and "when the world comes apart" were instant addicts, so i think 2/3 ain't bad
This song brings the 80’s back to me!
Amazing - 60 next year and Gary has still got it
This guy knows how to write good songs
Ich bin schon 30 Jahre Fan von ihm! Er wird immer besser, je älter er wird, wie ein guter Wein! Love you, Gary (from Germany)!
Gary Numan is modern classic.
sounds like real life, not an easy journey to make, music and humour get me through, thanks Gary
.
Welcome back Mr. Numan. You've been missed.
DAMN Gary.... Show the kids how it is DONE!!!!!!
Brilliant...what lyrics ! what music ! what a voice .... other worldly
This album is fantastic.
Love this man, love his music, really delighted in the rivival he's having at the moment ..........THIS MAN IS A LEGEND IN HIS OWN RIGHT ❤️. 🎤. 😘
Just saw him in Buffalo... best concert I have been to in ages. Amazing sound and visual experience.
God damn brilliant.
So very old school and also so fine in definition of sound...
Love the contrast between the whimsical verse and powerful chorus. And damn he looks amazing in this video. The entire song/video has blown me away.
The fact he is 60 years old right now, I....well I'm impressed very much defiantly.
OMG! This is awesome! Gary Numan is just amazing to me even after all these years. Love his voice! Love this song! Please never stop making music!
Probably my favorite song off Savage. SO intense! It was wonderful meeting you again in Toronto and Buffalo
Great song from a great album...
Gary just gets better with age, a music Legend !
Majestic, as always........
Gary, you're awesome...
Ahhhh.... class act, nice guy, fab song, underrated artist!
Awesome show at St. Andrews in Detroit, Gary!! Thanks for a great time!!!
Just one word....GREAT!
Is that a voice calling me softly?
Nothing in here is quite how it seems
Is that a whispers touch on my fear?
Am I awake or lost in old dreams?
Everything's so cold
The air is so stale
There should be nothing here to see
Is this a warning?
Like in the black book
There can be no one else but me
I see a darker shade of darkness
I hear a shadow hide in the light
I feel a suffocating tension
Within a terrible desire
Everything's so cold
The air is so stale
There should be nothing here to fear
But I am breathing
A child's laughter
Can any part of this be real?
Everything I work for
Everything I long for is always just too far
Everything I hope for never comes to be
Everything I bleed for burns a scar on me
Everything I fight for leaves a bitter taste
Everything I cry for looks into my face
Everything I scream for barely knows my name
Everything I'd die for will die just the same
In here with me
Is this the truth of your forgiveness?
Are you the stranger stood at my door?
Are you the end of things come calling?
Are you the answer that I've wished for?
Everything's so cold, the air is so still
And there is nothing here but me
If I belong here, and this is mercy
Then there is no place I'd rather be
Everything I worked for
Everything I longed for was always just too far
Everything I hoped for never came to be
Everything I bled for burned a scar on me
Everything I fought for left a bitter taste
Everything I cried for laughed into my face
Everything I screamed for barely knew my name
Everything I died for died just the same
In here, with me
Thank you Gary...exactly how I feel and everything I think when I am forced to face myself... Trying to practice doing that... the most horrible but freeing thing I could ever do.. :)

wrong lycs.... i will let you figure out which ones....
This music was written four years ago but it fits to 2020. Fascinating.
@@Clygroup44 thank you. The original post was very confusing on lyrics to me. Actually kinda of bugged me.
Merry fucking Christmas to me!!! Thank you thank you thank you Gary! Saw you last week and was blown away. Brilliant musician. Brilliant music.
"Splinter" and "Savage" are more NIN than anything Trent has done in 20 years. Love 'em both.
Gary Numan Lyrics
"The End Of Things"
Is that a voice calling me softly?

Is that a whisper's touch or my fear?
Am I awake or lost in old dreams?
Everything's so cold
The air is so still
There should be nothing here to see

But I hear breathing
A child's laughter
Can any part of this be real?
Everything I work for
Everything I long for
Is always just too far
Everything I hope for
Never comes to be
Everything I bleed for
Burned a scar on me
Everything I fight for
Leaves a bitter taste
Everything I cry for
Laughs into my face
Everything I scream for
Barely knows my name
Everything I'd die for
Will die just the same
In here
With me
Is this the truth of your forgiveness?
Are you the stranger stood at my door?
Are you the end of things come calling?
Are you the answer I've wished for?
Everything's so cold
The air is so still
And there is nothing here but me
If I belong here
And this is my seat
Then there is no place I'd rather be
Everything I worked for
Everything I longed for
Was always just too far
Everything I hoped for
Never came to be
Everything I bled for
Burned a scar on me
Everything I fought for
Left a bitter taste
Everything I cried for
Laughed into my face
Everything I screamed for
Barely knew my name
Everything I died for
Died just the same
In here
With me
My favorite song off the album. I can't relate to this !!!!
Definitely one of my favorite tracks from his latest album, Savage.
Another bangin' track, great work! Love you Gary!
One of my favorite tracks from this album.
I can't tell you how much I love this album! I've listened to your music since cars and you just keep getting better. Thank you

Great track
Fantastic, if you get a chance to see this tour, don't hesitate!!!
Please come to Australia again for this tour.
I am grateful for you, Gary Numan.
Gary Numan is in his best shape ever. No one can compare to him
This song has been on repeat for two days now
Lost his way for a while but now back stronger than ever....superb!!
Top shelf, Mr. Numan.
Incredible...
First time I heard his influencing music in '81. And now like a future-new-wave he rises again. Only the greatest ones can do this!
Gary- you are my android heart. I still love you after all these years.
How does he keep getting better? I'm awestruck.
Gets better with age! A sonic treat.
LOVE THIS! The simplicity is actually very nice, the focus is on the passion and movement. I got the vibe he's in shelter on his trek to find his daughter.
yes Gary xx
You always could produce a great anthem Gary. Your music and lyrics generate from your heart and soul. And it shows. Top man . 👍👍
I have never tired of you or your music x
I Hope some day see you in concert Mister Numan. your last Lp is your Best really great creation. great video. Great sound. Great song. Come to Porto for a concert.Portugal waits for you mister Numan.
Awesome song and kind of where I'm at right now
Doesnt matter how many times i hear this..always gives me the goosebumps..been a fan for a long time and this is a prime example to the younger generation of what can be done through hard graft,struggle and never giving up.NUUUUUMMAAANN!

This song made me think of Vegeta, before he had a family. And a little bit after lol. Really awesome sound and lyrics.
its just nice to see the bloke enjoying what he does again. unbelievable live performer, great atmosphere. love the whole industrial thing hes going for.
The lyrics to this are very much my life 😭
Love this track. Brixton Academy show was f’ing brilliant.
Colin Finch yes it was.
Still capturing my heart 38 years later .. Amazing !!!
great chorus
this look is awesome for Gary . by far my favorite
I can't wait to see this show!!
Breathtaking... the talent is overpowering.
GARY never ever let´s us down. Been listening to this for like the the first time!!! He makes the best music these days!! Always has but he gets better as the years go by!!!
One of his best!
just AWESOME NUMAN is a genius
