    When you really take in the lyrics to this it is utterly devastating. I've seen him cry whilst singing this, from the front row

      Gary is on record stating that he doesn't think about what the song is about when he's playing it. If he did, he wouldn't be able to deliver it

      @@ZOMM0 I've definitely seen him tear up, several times. He tries not to but often does, same with Lost

    The greatest Gary Numan song ever, it has everything and yes as others have said if you get the chance to see this absolute legend live then don't pass up the opportunity you won't regret it, remember he won't be around forever!

    If you get a chance to see him live (he's touring) don't pass it up. I can't begin to tell you how amazing his live shows are.

    Thanks guys. Just to give you some background to this song. Before Gary and Gemma had their 3 daughters Raven, Persia and Echo, they actually lost their first child. This song was written questioning what God is after the loss of her. It is regularly used in his live shows and can be quite emotional.

    The ‘Gary mix’ of this song from Hybrid is the best version, in my opinion. A heartbreakingly sad song, you really feel his pain at his wife’s miscarriages.

    A stunning live song. The original was written back in 2000 and is a very personal song hence some heartfelt lyrics. This version isn't Gary's original arrangement but I love both versions. Keep up the great work and more Numan whenever you feel like it!

    The lyrics are what make the song! It’s a tragedy. He’s singing about a lost child. He is cursing God. This song is so powerful and deep in emotion. As a Christian, it was hard to take in. As a father, I understand! Great song!!!

    The lyrics to this sad but great song
    So, I prayed...
    But you weren't listening.
    Making miracles?
    So, I begged...
    But you were far away.
    Saving souls perhaps?
    So, I screamed...
    But she was very small
    And you have worlds to mend.
    So, she died...
    And you were glorious.
    But you were somewhere else.
    If you are my shepherd
    Then I'm lost and no one can find me.
    If you are my saviour
    Then I'm dead and no one can help me.
    If you are my glory
    Then I'm sick and no one can cure me.
    If you light my darkness
    Then I'm blind and no one can see me.
    If you are my father
    Then love lies abandoned and bleeding.
    If you are my comfort
    Then nightmares are real and deceiving.
    If you are my answer
    Then I must have asked the wrong question.
    I'd spit on your heaven
    If I could find one to believe in.

    The guitar player is Mark Gemini Thwaite. I saw this tour. His regular guitarist, Steve Harris had to fly back to the UK for a family emergency. MGT has played with a lot of greats: The Mission, Peter Murphy and recently with Big Paul Ferguson of Killing Joke.

  • @Scratiznutz

    Hi you beautiful people 😁
    This version is different from the (Pure) album original, but is the one he performs as a staple setlist regular year on year.
    It's a very personal song about the miscarriage of gary and Gemma's expected first born.
    I saw Gary's show in Manchester England in 2001 touring the 'Pure' album and he performed (the original) version of this.
    When he finished, there was an unearthly silence, probably more out of shock of him playing this given the subject matter of his recent heartbreak.
    Gary looked up and quietly said "Thank you" to the crowd who then went nuts ♥️

  • @GazEndo68
    @GazEndo68 Před rokem +2

    Brilliant song and live as in a studio performance. Fancy a proper live performance with full light show and audience? Then give this a go. Ginger will want to go see him even more. And Mike, you may just find another favourite.

    Interesting.
    I'd like to suggest one that this song reminded me of: Saltatio Mortis - Spur des Lebens. ("trace of life")
    A lovely song, and despite the German lyric, I think you'd get the gist.
    "My trace of life, my little light in the wind
    Are you prepared for these times, my unborn child
    My trace of life, in this dark time
    My little spark of hope, my immortal piece"

  • @GazEndo68

    Next week Gary is performing 3 very special shows in London. They will be his 998th, 999th and on Saturday his 1000th. So I thought you might honour this achievement by reacting to a song which he performed on his first show as Gary Numan and the one which kick-started his fame and was his first no.1 hit. No doubt he will play it on his 1000th too. This is a live version of ‘Are Friends Electric’ from his 2017 show at Brixton Academy. czcams.com/video/SU0X1sMemYk/video.html

    The Replicas Live version is the best in my opinion. I’d try ‘The Chosen’ next, then ‘here in the black’. Both are epic.

    This song is fantastic, although I have to say after seeing him in concert doing this song this wasn't even his best performance of this.

    Good song, straight from the heart. But to be honest, many fans of Gary (like me, I've seen him play live 59 times) are tired of him including this song at EVERY live appearance for over 20 years. Mix it up, Gary!

    @outpost31737 Před rokem

    I used to like APTFU until he played it as part of an encore on every tour since Pure. It's become utterly tiresome and he doesn't even play his original version he uses Andy Gray's backing tracks.

    • @toniscandella4746
      @toniscandella4746 Před rokem +1

      He plays cars too often its that which needs chucking out of the set list, never liked that song. Of course tapes are used, it's electronica you'd need 50 synth players otherwise
