This song just breaks my heart. I don't know why, nothing specific in my past that I can recall. Maybe it collects little thoughts and regrets and bundles the emotion of them all for 5 minutes and 40 seconds. Christ, I got tears in my eyes just typing this. Bless you Gary, the one true musical genius of my lifetime...
@Lesmc1of3 Indeed, I often have to stop writing responses due to my own emotions causing my eyes not being able to see. My greatest love is music, therefore few gain my attention. Gary remains a genius as you say, so is Elton, Freddie,Geddy,Neil, Alex. All I speak of here provoke tears from a grown man's eyes.
bought this as a cassette !(believe it or not) 10 years ago from a book store for 5 bucks ! wow what an incredible album....Gary's finest moment as far as I'm concerned. such beauty, and power....
this is detecated to my late sister sylvia n...everything is backwards for me ,but hits every memory of her love for her family and children love you sis.see you in the end...again.....dolphina are so smart and people are killing them for the reasons of (we havegone far and we are killing the prime sources of life....man and progression does nothing ,but harm.........
this is detecated to my late sister sylvia n...everything is backwards for me ,but hits every memory of her love for her family and children love you sis.see you in the end...again.....
From so long ago..but musically a real emotional gem. Feel it., gentle emotions and a beautiful emoticon! Sorry im such an electronic emo......so what. Class. Thankyou Mr N
keep telling everyone gary was the motzart of his day... beutifly ecclectic and an amazing ability to weave sound in ways that to this day not many can match... just wanted to get my two cents in and now the i pass the soap box to the left :)
Back when this album came out, I found this song to be an anti-bulling song. How apppropriate is this song in this day and age? Gary Numan for the ages.......
Wow I just discovered this and it is beautiful, I am starting to think that Mr Numan has the best Outr'os in the business. I am 23 years old and pillage the You tube library for my listening pleasure all the time, without this I would never have found so many songs I am now enjoying... Thankyou, YouTube without you I would never have discovered these Jems..
I've followed this bloke from the start. He has change as all things do over time. I think what he does now is brilliant but I never forget his past and this track sums it up. Obviously last time I saw him no way was he doing any of this but personally I would love to see him do a concert that he does a, here's where I started to here's where I am at. I beleive it would be a sell out!
I feel in a reciprocal way, but i hope not have to resemble him, there's few men and women that do, but i never got on long with anyone who didn't like him, musically.
what a beautiful song this is. in his early years he was incredible and forward. his music was bold, but he eventually had to fit into a slot. .... he made some fantastic music..very very under-rated. are friends electric still sounds incredible after 30 years.
You gotta hear this out camping at a lonely Manitoba lake in summer at night, those lonely synths sound like loones across the lake,gorgeous, that's way i heard it
Thanx dude, but you should be proud,that's where all the action is with his tours, for him to graciously touch our shores is too much to ask,and i know why,so i'm stuck here with the Guess Who. Bloody Peggers here only like ska, blues and funny colledge rock country.
One of Numan's best tracks.........

Absolutely my favourite Numan song:so poignant, evocative and haunting!
I interviewed Gary last week for Keyboard Player Magazine, and was tickled
to get the chance to tell him how much this beautiful song means to me.
He was a complete class act;probably the nicest artist yet that I've interviewed!

This is one of the songs that has haunted me all of my life. It resonates with the sadness and melancholy that serves as the inner lining of my soul.
"We are close, we are hurt. // So that was love?"
" ... And love she kills me. // It needs to so."
