Ya know when they say 'The apple didn't fall far from the tree' yeaaahhhh, (talent and such) His daughter didn't ever fall OFF the tree.. (which thiss video may not have 'showcased' just how MUCH heart/talent and vocal range she really has, their duet on 'My name is Ruin [Especially the 'Live' cuts from performances] really show how in tune both musically and as dad/daughter ❤❤❤
Persia- you have no idea how much your Dad helped me through life- I had some serious issues that I did not understand... it took me decades. But when he would sing these really odd lyrics= it gave me a puzzle to work out. That there was another reality than the limited one i had grown up with. That there were other ideas and stories in the world. These (ideas) were not accurate in any sense of the word... but your Dad gave me the space to think. he literally kept me alive, probably- I can't say for sure. But he gave me the impetus to find my own worth. He helped me understand the idea of the narrative- to suspend reality for a period and thing in another way. This may sound silly to you- and it should. But trust me: you Dad is one of the coolest humans on the planet. Probably a jerk at times too... but so am I. I'm a pilot, engineer, electrician-- not by design- but very much like the ideas your Dad dreamed of. I cannot imagine a better muse.
Just stumbled across this gem. With his daughter bundled in that blanket providing backing instruments makes this rendition about as personal as it can get. The only thing missing is the campfire. Beautiful intimate moment. Thanks for sharing.
Intimate, real and wonderful. What an honour to be welcomed into a performing artists home for a few minutes and hum along while he and his daughter sing.
Came home from school and got lost in Gary Numans haunting voice..life was never easy back then but to relate to something so beautiful was a comfort ive never forgot..You lived in my heart
not only is he talented he is the most humble and down to Earth person in the world. I will never forget meeting him and how he had a 1hr long talk with me about Autism as he and myself both live with it.
The doo-doo-doo-doo part is the cutest! I'm trying so hard not to be jealous. I've been in 47 failed bands, never had a daddy, and can't have children but I'll tell you what, it's still adorable for some reason! I can't be jealous, it's just so cute! I saw him during the Dominion Day tour at the Fillmore SF back in what was that? 1999, 2000 or something? I want to catch this tour too. I'd love to see him with his daughter too! That's so cute she's so lucky. Jamming with Daddy over the campfire - rad! Doo-doo-doo-doo...
Just spoke with my own daughter on the phone from Germany, this brought tears to my eyes as I’ve not been able to see her for ages. Absolutely brilliant. Thanks Gary and Persia.
I was in lockdown I heard this acoustic in the park with Gary numan his daughter what is amazing song I thought I was alone when Gary numan did lockdown acoustic songs made me realise not alone thank you Gary amazing guitar got me through knowing that you was there wonderful music on your guitar take care love to you and your family you're mint ❤️❤️
Bowie got his security to get rid of Gary when he wanted to talk to him. That got Got Gazza, and he started saying that Bowie used to be good but lost it kind of thing, or something along those lines.
Well, I am a 58 older guy now but back in 1979 my fair hair was dyed BLACK 🖤, when my mum God rest her came home from work she did not notice for 10 minutes then had a fit, how I laughed. I would just like to say Mr Numan your video made my morning and the love you share with your daughter is great to see, as I do mine. Thank you so much for my late 70's / 80's fantastic memories, Gerard 🤗🇬🇧
Wow. Almost lost for words at how much joy and love is wrapped up in this. I laughed out loud at a couple of points, and I was moved by the lovely bond between Gary and Persia(?). Such a wonderful open thing to show us all. And finally, yep, if you can play it on an acoustic, and sing, and it still sounds like a song, it's a winner.
Gary is a true icon and a gentleman to the core whom I had the opportunity to meet once. Such a humble down to earth great soul of a Human Being. Keep it up Gar!
'...'that god will keep you safe and alive and that you would live forever.'' - yeah, right... I used to fall for false idols. You just cured me of that.
Gary, what an unbelievable version of this incredible song. You could almost imagine after the Mach-men destroy themselves, a pocket of humans, no tech, and just an acoustic guitar filled with memories of simpler times.
IMO this is the single best thing on the internet. I was living in a shared house going to university when Replicas was released... we were listening to the radio with speakers out in front of the house when "Are Friends Electric" was played for the first time. We didn't know what to make of it... closest we could think of was Devo but it didn't really fit... so we dispatched one rider to Sam The Record Man and another to CHUM-FM and burned up the pay phones figuring out what was going on. An hour later one of the dispatchees came back with a copy of Replicas and the world was a bit different from that point. This was around the time that what would become FM was performing as "Nash the Slash and Cameron Hawkins" at the local universities so there was a fair amount of world changing going on at the time.
So awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. It's really refreshing to see a music pioneer and his daughter playing music acoustically. No big production. No autotune.
Wow , his live voice is as incredible as imagined. And Persia has the potential for sure. Just take singing lessons away from dad and you Persia will grow incredible for sure.
Nothing like a jam session just dad and daughter. So beautiful Gary and without a doubt the best manifestation to the meaningful of life - thanks for sharing this it made me smile :)
more talent in his little finger than the whole charts put together
Agreed 😁
Totally
😂👌🤣🎼👌

I understand exactly what you mean.
when a artist is better unplugged, then all in the charts today... that means something
Thank you. I can now turn the internet off as there can be nothing better then this.
Just stumbled across this gem. With his daughter bundled in that blanket providing backing instruments makes this rendition about as personal as it can get. The only thing missing is the campfire. Beautiful intimate moment. Thanks for sharing.
He's just so damn Cool! And you can see just how close he is to his Daughter. Great Dad you are Gary! Family is soooooooo important!
Amazing how his voice still sounds the same today, unlike many other singers from the past.
I think ot might have to do with his singing style, which isn't as likely to cause vocal damage as for example a metal growl
I sat smiling like a loon and willed her along throughout. Louder, indeed !!
I feel privileged you let us into your wonderfully beautiful world. What a gift. Thanx for this. Too sweet🙏💜🙌🤙🤟
Beautiful watching Gary introducing his daughter into the real art of music making ... Non of this Auto Tune nonsense ... ✌️
Intimate, real and wonderful. What an honour to be welcomed into a performing artists home for a few minutes and hum along while he and his daughter sing.
My thoughts exactly.
I started crying.
I feel so old and also so blessed to have grown up with Gary's music.
Very Human Gary Numan... in a good way...
He seems human. We think we know him. Think again. Trent doesn't partner with just any ole rock star.
...more human than human, that's our motto...
Came home from school and got lost in Gary Numans haunting voice..life was never easy back then but to relate to something so beautiful was a comfort ive never forgot..You lived in my heart

not only is he talented he is the most humble and down to Earth person in the world. I will never forget meeting him and how he had a 1hr long talk with me about Autism as he and myself both live with it.
Love it! His daughter completes this song perfectly. Thank you both!
Oh my gawd! And she said thank you after! What amazing manners! Do you think that they will adopt me? I want in!
The doo-doo-doo-doo part is the cutest! I'm trying so hard not to be jealous.

Thanks Gary and Persia.
What a lovely rendition and made all the better by seeing the obvious love and fun shared by a father and his daughter. Wonderful.
Goosebumps... My first Gary Numan album was on 8-track and he is better than ever; I hope that Persia continues in his footsteps.
Persia is an excellent addition to his sound. Perfect.
Absolutely phenomenal. What a legend Gary is and such an immense talent
The voice hasnt changed...and still a charismatic track 40+ years on.
Just so beautiful. Father and daughter. So grateful to see this. Two wonderful talents together.
I was in lockdown I heard this acoustic in the park with Gary numan his daughter what is amazing song I thought I was alone when Gary numan did lockdown acoustic songs made me realise not alone thank you Gary amazing guitar got me through knowing that you was there wonderful music on your guitar take care love to you and your family you're mint ❤️❤️
Such a shame back in the day Gary an Bowie didn’t bump an collaborate would have been awesome
Bowie got his security to get rid of Gary when he wanted to talk to him. That got Got Gazza, and he started saying that Bowie used to be good but lost it kind of thing, or something along those lines.

Good times she's so adorable in her blanket
What an unbelievably beautiful and lucky daughter!
Wow. Almost lost for words at how much joy and love is wrapped up in this. I laughed out loud at a couple of points, and I was moved by the lovely bond between Gary and Persia(?). Such a wonderful open thing to show us all. And finally, yep, if you can play it on an acoustic, and sing, and it still sounds like a song, it's a winner.
I'm pretty sure that's either Persia or Echo (probably Persia).
Such a beautiful version of this great song ... hope there will be once an acoustic album from Gary and Persia
Wonderful 💯💜🌹🌷🌺🌹
Gary is a true icon and a gentleman to the core whom I had the opportunity to meet once. Such a humble down to earth great soul of a Human Being. Keep it up Gar!
Absolutely great to see this side of Gary.
I feel very privileged to have been able to share this with them. It feels very personal. Thank you for posting this video.
A song with good bones can be performed in innumerable ways. Back in my day they were called "standards." This is one of them.
I was smiling all the way through this, it's exactly what I needed, thank you so much!
Dont we all need this. He just finished his biggest tour in 40 years and now silence.
timeless, one of his best..
Superb...and so cute and lovely.
Lovely rendition. I'm adding this to my Gary Numan playlist. It's great seeing his daughter, Persia, add backing vocals to a classic song.
Always been my favourite number song, this version is another twist to his talent.
gary is a prophet when he makes music. we pray for you and the ones you love that god will keep you safe and alive and that you would live forever.
Thanks again for informing me about this video. Also I kept my word and listen to the video like I said I would.
'...'that god will keep you safe and alive and that you would live forever.''
- yeah, right...
I used to fall for false idols.
You just cured me of that.
Gary, what an unbelievable version of this incredible song. You could almost imagine after the Mach-men destroy themselves, a pocket of humans, no tech, and just an acoustic guitar filled with memories of simpler times.
RUclips gold!
wow , how beautiful was that. God bless
Just love the interaction with Gary n Persia, a gr8 dad.. Can't wait to see him and (Nitemare Air 🤞) in Sheff. 😁
Precious moments like tears in the rain
great...gary....listen to you since 1978... greeting from germany....take care !!
First Gary Numan I ever heard, in the movie "Times Square" never could forget it. Started buying everything He did a few years later.
Beautiful. She reminds me of mine.
Lost her at 13.
You've my condolences. 🙏😖😑 Hope you are healing. I can't imagine my kids leaving this earth before me.
Gary Human. Dad. :-) Always loved this guy.
If i could i would give you a million thumbs up!
Mr. Numan you are a musical icon and your daughter will be also in a few years.
Sven and Steve in Castril Spain you are awesome the pair of you! 🎉
Best Daddy / Daughter Day EVAR!

Gotta love a bit of Numan 👍🏻
Excellent , Merci Gary , et sa Fille aussi ...✌
I give the qualification of one of the most beautiful videos in YT. 🥰
God, the tune is so.............bowie-like😄😇
Just really cute how he loves his daughter, family so much. Great man....
i wish i can give a million thumbs....
Such a beautiful personal rendition
This is so lovely and heart warming to see gorgeous Gary and his lovely daughter persia bless
Parenting through participation. So glad he’s made a strong return, and brought his daughter.
Pure love!
So awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. It's really refreshing to see a music pioneer and his daughter playing music acoustically. No big production. No autotune.
This is great, Gary Numan and an acoustic guitar who would of thought of that a few weeks ago. Keep em coming Gary.
His Tubeway Army album had him on acoustic guitar.
Example: Jo the waiter.
@@skiptowne61 Well said!
I always thought this deserved to do better in the charts than it achieved when it was released as a single.
So sweet....So daft....!
Unbearably sweet! Love it!
One of my old heroes with an amazing performance with his beatutiful and talanted daughter Persia. Obrigado!
Wow , his live voice is as incredible as imagined. And Persia has the potential for sure. Just take singing lessons away from dad and you Persia will grow incredible for sure.
Lovely duo.
This was so wonderful. Especially at the end.
One of my favorites. You should release an acoustic album. I hope your daughter continues and one day you're singing backup. Cheers!
Yaaay!! Let the songs speak Gary.
Beautiful, thanks Mr. Numan, for giving us some food for the soul!
Pleasure principle was the first album I ever bought. I was 11 brilliant
Love ye Numan x 🙌 🌟 ❤️
MAN i miss my son so much!!!!! um52 damn hell need to play the guitar!!!!!
Best & coolest thing I've seen & heard all year so far. Cheers from Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey!
I love it. This track will never get old. Thank you guys
Masterpiece.
Six people have sore thumbs they can't hold them up. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

What a great Version by a Great Musician of many talents
Oh my, that was something…so lovely, what an unexpected pleasure!
warms the heart
I want more of these 2
Can't stop listening to this. Has to be one of my favorite songs now. This version only though.
Cuteness overload..
That unmistakable voice, so good!
This song sounds amazing no matter how it’s played
His daughters vocals just make it that extra bit haunting, love it.
This song has always been and will be my favorite song ever.
Nothing like a jam session just dad and daughter. So beautiful Gary and without a doubt the best manifestation to the meaningful of life - thanks for sharing this it made me smile :)
Beautiful
...........Thank You.........
