first time I heard this song it just blew me. And it still leaves me shaken everytime I hear it. so hauntiing and yet so beautiful. Gary Numan is a real artist, transforming pain in such a beautiful thing
strawberrycactus me too. I 1st heard this song late at night with headphones on. I was trying to get off opiates. I was about 7 days in at this point. I just saw Gary for my 1st time Nov 1st 2019 .. when he played this song I was tearing up so bad. I’m like suck it up, hold it in .. people will be like wtf is wrong with her? Wow so emotional. Been clean for a year and 1 month. 2 short weekend relapses cuz I’m human .. love this song
"i'd spit on your heaven if i could find one to believe in " those lyrics are fantastic, that poor man Gary Numan prayed his child would be ok and he was let down, well done Gary you are a legend............................................... i will be a fan of yours forever......
STILL one of my all time favourite Gary Numan songs. It just gets better every time I listen to it. It resonates with my disbelief in the Judaeo/christian god. You can hear the heart ache in every word.
This Song/Lyrics/Video (...the real holy trinity?) is one of the most magnificent Expression of "Art" I've ever seen !!! It moves a lot of emotions and feelings and induces to think about god, religion, faith and above all about our paradoxical painful Life. All was done in a finished, elegant and without any sort of hypocrisy way, but very very straight and clear. Gary Numan is an absolutely talented Artist and a Music/Lyricist Genius.... but he has another rare and precious talent; he knows how to get at the Heart of the people.... and perhaps that's his real Greatness !!! Greetings to all the "Numanoids" everywhere !!!
@@christianachmueller5699 My friend told me about him in 2000 and I kinda remember Cars BUT HAD NO IDEA bc IM loving on Swithcblade Symphony - The Black Box people -The Crystal Method--Chem Bros -Keoki...Front 242-NIN Skinny Puppy etc but she gave me Sacrifice and Exile and I loved those cds.....EVERY SONG??? every song...I have 11 cds on Itunes and Im so afraid of a song i dont like I cannot find ANYTHING that i dont like.... All i like is Gary Numans music....if something else is playing....I could be listening to Gary Numans music he puts out...everytime i hear a different little thing I did not hear before...its amazing how i really resonate w EVERYTHING....never before have i enjoyed someones music so thoroughly...Im just now going back to Tubeway army stuff ITS the 2 hour i forgot the name but ALL IN WHITE he's so cool white face bit of blush cool as phuck w an attitude wow...he really is so human so kind so loving and happy a man but he like we pay hell for happiness...
I've had three miscarriages and one tubal pregnancy that almost killed me so this song strikes my heart everytime because that is exactly what I felt then 💔😪
This is extremely powerful. It's obviously about Gary losing a child, I think a miscarriage if I remember an old interview. I heard this song a hundred times and seen it live 4 times and never read the lyrics. Blows my away how great this song is.
@BlackSkyThunder Hello, BlackSky, When I listened this music in first time, I thought that it was only about God, but it isn't. It is a deeper song about persons that see him/herself bigger/better than all, without modesty and with an enormous self image. This "glorious people" are always busy ("mending worlds, making miracles" for they don't care about. It is a very sutil music. It is one of the most brilliant song I have heard. There is more than one interpretation! Gary was brilliant
even i consider myself a God believer, and the lyrics of this song are "heretic" i cant stop listening to it... could be a non sense but it is very spiritual for me the only thing i can say is that even Jesus Christ complaint about God Father at his last words "my lord my lord why have you forsaken me"
EXCELLENT video!! 🌹🖤 I was doing covers of “Metal, Me! I Disconnect from You and Cars” back in 1979-80 as a solo electric violin act. THIS is my favorite Numan composition.
For those not fully aware of his music, listen to Little InVitro after this. This one was about wanting to prevent the death, LIV was about the thoughts afterwards. Both very powerful, but totally different styles
love this so much. I don't know how he manages to be so talented, well known, yet kind of forgotten about. Its a tribute to the man he's not a major "celebrity". Thanks for the song and vid.
Does anyone know what Gary says this song means? It’s such a personal story but it leaves itself open to mass interpretation. That’s hard to do-and brilliantly executed by Gary. I know what I think it is but I’m probably way off. I’d just like to know what he knows it’s about…
hair raising song. sometimes when i think about how me and my family lost my aunt to huntington's disease i think about the meaning behind this song and can heavily heavily relate.
Typical song For an Asperger Diseased Person like Gary Numan...Out of Ignorance and despair...Ignorance because of the Absence of Knowlegde about god and his Laws....But still i Love Gary Numan Since TUBEWAY ARMY!
Chaos is true and cruel. There is no Yahweh. Fact being, humans have 3.5 catalogued gods. I'm sure many more are gone to the dust. Fact is, we are as we are. We can only hope as individuals on average to have some lineage for a couple of generations. Some as humans have had the fortune of being know for over a millennium. There are those known for decades. Some for centuries.
+dieCG : And after that, if we are too stupid to focus on anything other than binding together via science to continue the health of the human race and our ecosystem, and expand our needs to venture as the nomads we are driven to be with our 'gamesake' of using technology to move on... We love and hate each other. It's 'brotherly' to want to see us succeed, but also brotherly to wish the other to fail. As humans, we need to put away the childish thing that is a 'god', and move on as ourselves. We need to band together as individuals that can work with different backgrounds and ideas, and expand for the reaches. Because we are clawing at each other contained. This may be a song about miscarriage. But Gary has also expressed about applying this to humanity in general for hoping for miracles from something that does not exist.

The lyrics of this song say it all. Such raw emotion a truly heartfelt song. My sympathies go out to anyone who has suffered in this way.
some of the most brilliant lyrics ive ever heard,, Garys is awesome,, over 30 years and still inspiring

So sorry for your losses xxx much love.
Saw gary last year in Leeds and during this song I just stood and dealt with my thoughts
Just perfection that's all you can say
I heard this song for the first time last night when I saw him in Denver. Same as you, I just stood still and listened.
This is so heart breaking, yet still a masterpiece.

No one expresses pain and sorrow as effectively...and you have done superb justice to his song. Thank you for posting this.
When God does not hear you it is soul crushing....
even i consider myself a God believer, and the lyrics of this song are "heretic" i cant stop listening to it... could be a non sense but it is very spiritual for me
the only thing i can say is that even Jesus Christ complaint about God Father at his last words "my lord my lord why have you forsaken me"

Myself and my ex wife lost six children. This song is beautiful
Great video.
I love this song.
For those not fully aware of his music, listen to Little InVitro after this. This one was about wanting to prevent the death, LIV was about the thoughts afterwards. Both very powerful, but totally different styles
Best version of all
Beautiful x
remember of my daugther! who is somewhere else.............!
brilliant work sure gary would be impressed
A powerful song made even more so by a great video, well done!!
Gary gets it. Bottom line. And I love the imagery you chose. Thanks for this.
love this so much.
I don't know how he manages to be so talented, well known, yet kind of forgotten about. Its a tribute to the man he's not a major "celebrity".
Thanks for the song and vid.
Not forgotten by his true fans.
Never heard that version.
Excellent and a very good visual representation too.
I think it maybe Numans greatest track!!
What a brilliant video me and my mate Paul was gob smacked. Lovely version one of the best I have heard , as good as Andy Gray version. Top Notch
Wow...this is beautifully done! I love this song...such sadness and loss of faith!
Bloody marvellous!!!!!!!
Good Video, visualises the power of the song's imagery.
This song always makes me cry.
This is the most jammin' badass song from '06!
This song was played at my little sisters funeral she died the same way as gary's :'(
Luke Coleman

Wow!

❤❤❤❤❤
So beautiful but poignant at the same time
sound quality is a shame, i cant find many vidios that arnt live versions but the actual vidio is great
Who knows when, but probably within the next 6 months.
If it doesnt then hopefully his other new album 'Splinter' will
wow
awsome...fkin wow !!
You're correct it was 2000, though the year changes my previous statement still stands otherwise.
Typical song For an Asperger Diseased Person like Gary Numan...Out of Ignorance and despair...Ignorance because of the Absence of Knowlegde about god and his Laws....But still i Love Gary Numan Since TUBEWAY ARMY!
typical response from a sheep without feeling....

🤘
His wife suffered several miscarriages when they tried to have children through In Vitro Fertilization.
mocker and scoffer
@subnumanoid
So do I!
Very poignant. Very human.
