The moment around 3:30 when you can hear the disintegrated strings inbetween the staggering drums. Also, it took some balls to include a 3+ minute string instrumental. Genius.
[Verse 1] If you had seen You'd understand If you had seen You'll break like me [Verse 2] If you had seen All the things that I've seen You'd scream like I screamed I know [Verse 3] If you had seen You'd feel like I feel Empty and broken I know [Verse 4] I've seen the sky on fire Seen the oceans dry Seen the mountains fall Seen the whole world die

Wm. Shawn Weigel...beautiful isnt it! I love how he just lifts me through life! late 70's and now the 2020's - been confused all my life but this man also speaks to my soul on such a level it's a gift . What he has given me through the years is 'LIFE' actually. No body seems to 'get'me but...his music...'him' does! BEAUTIFULLY! xx
Gary Numans allways been a top act. I remember his early stuff as a kid, and in the 37 years since, I've rarely ever heard anyone say anything negative about his work. True music fans, of all tastes, recognise his place as a Musical Icon.
Oh he was absolutely bashed day in and day out, but after decades of hell he realized that worrying about what anyone thought of his music and chasing fame was pointless and that releasing what was churning inside him was what mattered, and so now we have his truth, and masterpieces, no matter what ANYONE thinks of any of it. Who's laughing now?
Just got the audio cd delivered and it is superb! It came in a little hardback book with colour pictures and lyrics. Brilliant presentation. A nod to the gatefold sleeves and albums of yesteryear when you actually felt that you had bought something tangible.And it seems that every track on the album is a winner.
I think it would be better as the final song of the set...with a screen showing pictures of the environmental terrorism man has inflicted on this planet. Heavy stuff !!
CO.AG Music surprisingly, it is not. Just saw him live in Boston. This song was not performed at all. The entire concert was high-energy rockin’. And despite the lack of this melody it was the best show I’ve seen him put on.
So good driving with this on - makes erratic, speeding, slobs eating cake whilst tailgating, disappear and I'm wholly focused on chilled, controlled driving!
At the end of his journey the desert wanderer sits by a camp fire and reflects upon his journey. Excellent ending to the album as it takes the story that was told full circle.
Gary your music has taken a real turn much like an enlightened soul who is now on the correct path your music gets better as you get older . Midge ure is the same his voice is incredible as he gets older but you seem to have learned your frequency.
Fabulous...beautiful and Gary sounds fantastic (as always) ...Broken sounded even more beautiful when it was done with the Skaparis Orchestra at the Bridgewater Hall Manchester 😊❤️❤️.
Thank you for the recommendation. Soothed my soul. Which has needed soothing lately. Beautiful. Gary Numan is my emotional voice metaphorically spilled out into every fiber of my being. The best walls of sound ever.
Maybe Netflix could be convinced to make a series based on the album, kind of like the movie Magnolia first existed as an Ami Mann album, then the song themes were made into the film.
I look forward to buying the book he is promoting with this music. This is a Masterpiece of Word and Sound. Gary is an Inspiration for any artist and deserves more recognition
Be has been present all through my life. I'm now rediscovering him. I have always been hearing his music it seems. I'm now entranced by him again. I can't wait to see him in person and feel his music for real. Until October I await my inspiration
Thank you ARTE for your amazing documentary about Paul Watson that brought me here ❤️
#freepaulwatson
just now realizing how close this sounds to the Dune soundtrack despite being released 4 years prior
astounding
Gary, I've loved you allways but this song is the bomb
The more I listen to this song, the more I'm blown away by it. Stunning!
This is probably the most perfect song I have ever heard by anyone.
Agree
You would be preaching to this choir
I totally agree, it hits me on places that no other music reaches, incorporating all the aspects of music I like.
I agree. There's so much honesty and self revealing
The moment around 3:30 when you can hear the disintegrated strings inbetween the staggering drums. Also, it took some balls to include a 3+ minute string instrumental. Genius.
Gary’s best album to date; hands down
100 % agree
[Verse 1]
If you had seen
You'd understand
If you had seen
You'll break like me
[Verse 2]
If you had seen
All the things that I've seen
You'd scream like I screamed
I know
[Verse 3]
If you had seen
You'd feel like I feel
Empty and broken
I know
[Verse 4]
I've seen the sky on fire
Seen the oceans dry
Seen the mountains fall
Seen the whole world die
Kenneth The only part I'm not sure on is ,or I hear it as seen the mountains fall ,but I could be wrong..
Yes, it is 'Seen the mountains fall'. Easy mistake, though.
Fantastic and haunting track.
Shades of "Tears in Rain" from Blade Runner. My heart stops.
Unbelievable genius from Lord G
Many times Mr Numan.....
Gary, you sound incredible. Thank you for continuing to make music that speaks to my soul. I greatly appreciate it. This album is remarkable.
I agree sir I've researched him played his music on guitar, piano and organ since I was 16.i am a prophet of our LORD, I AM DARKANGEL6393 GOD BE WITH U
Best ever
Wm. Shawn Weigel at last someone on the same wavelength as me.awesome album
@@loriannrichardsshinn6714 Gary Numan is the modern day prophet.

After all these years Gary still has that voice that gives me chills. Superb.
Wish it went on longer and went deeper. Such an intro into sorrow.
This song reminds me of the end of Blade Runner where Roy (Rutger Hauer), gives his dying speech. Can't love this song enough!
Go listen to "Time to Die" for a link to that scene "like tears in the rain"

Once a genius, always a genius. Love your work!
Too true he's ace.
this song makes me cry,
Great tune,
Great album
It should if I've done someone wrong
Me too. Last concert of Gary’s I did with my wife. She passed six months later
Forever embedded in my memory as was the whole album. Beautiful x
Makes me cry too when I remember how good he used to be & now release crap like this.
Me too.
@@garygodsqwad sorry to hear about your wife :-(
i just come home from work and listen to this again and again. i thought 'my name is ruin' was gonna be the one that got me, but this one has me now
whole album is epic
@@johngoodlass I feel the same. I only discovered Gary Numan last week and I am discovering so many new favorites.
Just got the audio cd delivered and it is superb! It came in a little hardback book with colour pictures and lyrics. Brilliant presentation.

Trev A very cool.. Exploring the LP jackets used to an experience in itself.
@@rockingrfarmandranch they were also great for skinning up on
I actually bought the LP to this it is very surreal to listen to this modern phone ancient tech lol
Great great ... I got a signed autograph, he looked different perhaps a different hair style .... so cool.
only a few see whats coming .. he is one .. there are only a few places to hide ... may your god be with you .....
This has got to be the opening for the live shows without a doubt incredible album
I think it would be better as the final song of the set...with a screen showing pictures of the environmental terrorism man has inflicted on this planet. Heavy stuff !!
CO.AG Music surprisingly, it is not. Just saw him live in Boston. This song was not performed at all. The entire concert was high-energy rockin’. And despite the lack of this melody it was the best show I’ve seen him put on.
i love how he uses the "attack" to have the diff sounds/instruments gently creep in ...
Just discovered this song today. I've had it on repeat ever since.
Awesome, haunting in its complexity, it grabs my heart.
Best song on the new album, I don't understand why you do not play this beautiful song live...
This song is one of my favorite songs. I love this song live with the Skaparis Orchestra plays this with Gary. It gets in your soul!
Seeing that the Earth is on fire at the moment and dying ,seems like this song is the Anthem !
I just LOVE this oriental thing that´s going on here!!!!!! Feels just like I was in this song!!!
Yes Boss!! 💪 Autism really IS our flex 💪💯
Master music , Avantgarde Mister Numan .
Such a beautiful song. I play it loud and just drift away with the music.
So good driving with this on - makes erratic, speeding, slobs eating cake whilst tailgating, disappear and I'm wholly focused on chilled, controlled driving!
You could build the most epic sci fi film around Gary's recent albums . Numanoids baby
Love this....gonna damage my speakers with the huge sound .
Steve Smith I might turn the bass down a bit 😉
great track
yes
Fantastic track. Very fitting closure. Beautiful.
This album Savage is absolutely incredible! These songs are my writing muse. Such a talent.
God he's a beautiful man and my god can he bring out alot of feels in all his music
saw him yesterday in HET DEPOT (Belgium / Leuven) !! superb !!!
Pure class
!
I have this mischievous streak where periodically I get people to listen with the lyrics.
Malevolent glee watching them vapor lock half way through.
Short but, the genius of Gary Numan.⚛️🙏🏴🇬🇧
This is badass. Soulful.
Utterly beautiful. Not one day goes by without your music amazing me and putting me into another world.
What a fine Song❣️❣️
🎇
Speechless 🙏
Interesting Middle Eastern sounds... great job! I'm screaming too because I've seen the same !!!
reminds me of the speech in bladerunner and the sounds of vangelis, seeing he is a fan of the film and did a song called time to die.
Tears in Rain
call out the dogs. a few samples from bladerunner in that one.
Emma Voltaire There's another track, Mercy, where right at the beginning, you can hear the whirl of Blade Runner sounds too.
Do none of you children even capable of into Are Friends Electric?
One of the best moments in film history. This Newman tune- amplifies the thought, while we all get the depth of the Message.
Magnificent 😮 may Allah bless you forever Mr Newman ❤️🙏
The intro evokes emotions that don't have words for them. The best.
Oh my!! Immense!
My favorite song on this album Gary! It's an absolute Monster!
Genius from Numan. Brilliant album love it!
Brilliant
Taking my band to see this show in Detroit tomorrow! Couldn't be more amped!
These kids that play with me have no idea what they are about to witness
He is quite something!
Amazing album.
great, great track !
Absolutely stunning 😮🙏⭐️👍
If you had seen
You'd understand
If you had seen
You'll break like me
If you had seen
All the things that I've seen
You'd scream like I screamed
I know
If you had seen
You'd feel like I feel
Empty and broken
I know
I've seen the sky on fire
Seen the oceans dry
Seen the mountains fly
Seen the whole world die

Incredible!
Awesome track,from a superb but different album I absolutely love it:-)
Steven Halston Has he been working with Mark Kelly?
Stunning.
At the end of his journey the desert wanderer sits by a camp fire and reflects upon his journey.
Excellent ending to the album as it takes the story that was told full circle.
This song is beautiful .
Gary your music has taken a real turn much like an enlightened soul who is now on the correct path your music gets better as you get older .
Midge ure is the same his voice is incredible as he gets older but you seem to have learned your frequency.
Stunning. Absolutely stunning x
perfection..fantastic intro..great atmosphere..( for which numan owns a fantastic hand )
Fabulous...beautiful and Gary sounds fantastic (as always) ...Broken sounded even more beautiful when it was done with the Skaparis Orchestra at the Bridgewater Hall Manchester 😊❤️❤️.

This relevant now this is what we need in the world
An awesome epic song

This would fit perfectly for a Dune soundtrack
we are all broken
one form or another
we try our best
but your effort not good enough
nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
❤ this
Awesome track. Very haunting and beautiful.
I absolutely adore this track. It's a stunning piece of perfection.
Thanks Gary...Incredible...w
I bought my first synthesizer in 1981 a Roland SH-09 (still play it) because of Gary Numan's influence over me.
Brilliant album, one of my top tens
Beautiful layers it’s like a film score. Fantastic song 👽💙👌🏻
Thank you for the recommendation. Soothed my soul. Which has needed soothing lately. Beautiful. Gary Numan is my emotional voice metaphorically spilled out into every fiber of my being. The best walls of sound ever.
Good music for the movie Laurence of Arabia Gary Newman,you have impressed me as you music is even better than ever before.
Great Landmark album
just beautiful xx
..this has to be the soundtrack of some dark, apocalyptic Netflix series
Maybe Netflix could be convinced to make a series based on the album, kind of like the movie Magnolia first existed as an Ami Mann album, then the song themes were made into the film.
Netflix isn't original enough for numan..
I look forward to buying the book he is promoting with this music. This is a Masterpiece of Word and Sound. Gary is an Inspiration for any artist and deserves more recognition
Seen the Sky on Fire
Seen the Moon shatter
Hear the wind shriek Scream
Taste overwhelming Fear
Everything Love held Fall 🖖
Be has been present all through my life. I'm now rediscovering him. I have always been hearing his music it seems. I'm now entranced by him again. I can't wait to see him in person and feel his music for real. Until October I await my inspiration
Haunting
Pure awesome ambience with a twist further in this song. One of the best.
Perfect!!!!
Very good album! Thanks Mister Numan.
Amazing music
