GARY NUMAN - THIS IS LOVE

[TheReplicant16]

This ballad always makes me go cold as it's very dark.Do remember John Webb playing the saxophone on this,

[clivedavinci]

thanks gary, beautiful, i have memories that break my heart every day

[TheFrenchEngineer1]

RUBBISH!!!

[pinkanglia]

Is it a syrup?

[MrPoghog]

Got to agree with diesonneuk Gary wrote some great ballads in the mid 80's and this one is up there with the best of them. Such a change from PP and Replica's but I think even better tracks.

Pure genius of a song. and a magical sax solo.

[thumbs317]

He looks like Frank Sinatra

[MisAnnThorpe]

@thumbs317 I thought I was the only one to have noticed! I passed a picture framers recently where they had a large poster of a young Sinatra. The resemblance to Numan was uncanny!

[mrpjbiddy]

the cool lookin mr Gary Numan top man of synths

[avpinstarter]

whos the sax player on this track

[MrPoghog]

@avpinstarter I think it's Gary's brother John Webb.

[DAVEGARDENER40]

This was when i ended my Numanoid days.

Utter tripe.

Shame really

Hes a really nice person.

[replicas11]

@DAVEGARDENER40 you should have hung in there he made some great songs youve missed out on.

[escaton74]

he reminds me of the 90's Frank Sinatra in this clip - like a turtle with a comb-over. unbelievable he's only in his mid 20's then

[null140]

@escaton74 well he WAS 28... but still, looks closer to 38, yeah.

[TheGreatEcstasy]

Great song! Then the saxophone enters and ruins everything!!!

[MrMiister]

is it me or is gary trying to be kraftwerk/frank sinatra? great upload though and a very nice tune!

[flapshot]

Hmmm, after the machine period you really have to cherry pick the good songs. I'd say from 8 albums you will get 5 good songs. The machine period has 4 albums and 40 good songs :p

[SexPistolsExperience]

isn't that his Bro playing the Sax. This was always a good one live somewhat suprisingly.

[sammydwm]

Used to watch this on the video jukebox a the Pier disco in Dunoon. Had lost touch with Numan for a while and hadn't realized he was still doing stuff.......

Not exactly Metal but pretty good stuff

[Sashthecat]

Still Great to Watch!

Most of them dont know this vid Exists!

.66.

[milkcult]

he looks like klaus kinski a little, is it?

[lovehoney3]

wow dosent gary look really cool waeing that suit and dicky-bow kinda looks like james bond. also isnt that his then girlfriend on keyboards.

[wainexx]

yer she was a vicars daughter aswell i think .

[modsleix6]

R.I.P Paul Gardiner...

[DerVampyrEngel]

Thanks Coxy for this cool song

[lisaemberton]

Great

Coxynuma.66.

[diesonneuk]

Bless

All this mid period stuff get's slated but there are some some decent songs in there

And Numan write some great ballads, this is up there with Heart.

[BertIsEvil2008]

Was that Pino Paladino on bass? Remindes me of Dance

[metamatics]

Love it.

[metamatics]

Love it.

[westy087]

yeah hes quality.. im goin to see him in march aswell :) looking forward to it!!!

[waheex]

nobody can do the snark/smile like Gary (going to see him live in March:)

[kriegerzukrieger]

It's so wonderful. I love Gary!!!

[ItaloBen]

Wonderful!

Glad to see this posted.

[donovantbgj]

everyones a critic!!

[ThisIsLove42]

LOL

[Katush12]

What a masterpiece. Gary is the only new wave artist that can make me cry like a baby. He's the master of "sound". As far as the future...I wish he'd drop some of the "noise" and replace it with "sound". No one can be "beautiful" like Gary.

[shenmueaddict]

gotta be one of his best ballads, love it. This video is a slightly different version to the one on Shadowman, industrial dunno where your getting this stuff but thanks!!

[ThisIsLove42]

okay thanks...I thought it was the case. I got to thinking (always risky for me) is there a robot underneath her face? j/k. lol

[ThisIsLove42]

Tracy Adams? What does she have to do with backing vocals and synthesizers?

[industrial82]

Nothing...just something good to look at

[sakura256]

who's the woman on the keyboards

[industrial82]

Tracy Adams an ex girlfriend.

[ThisIsLove42]

Who?! What?! Is that Tessa Niles on the keyboard?

John Webb on sax? Wow...ok.

[Omidion]

What a load of bilge. Great to see Jonny "The Mime Act" Webb *cough* miming to Dick Morriseys sax. This Is Love was described by Radio 1 as the most depressing song they'd ever played. I agree.

[kam75]

take that "old blue eyes"

[NINuman50n]

Very overlooked song by Gary. He looked fresh & cool too, cant believe that was so many years after his original AFE appearance on TOTP, he virtually looked no different.

[exile17]

great stuff, thanks...

[Tazz77]

Great song...that's got to be one of the most amazing sax solos I've EVER heard. This Is Love and My Breathing are the only 2 tracks I liked on the Strange Charm album.

[spikeuk1]

excellent song

[langy71]

such a beautiful song....
