Gary Numan performing A Prayer For The Unborn, live at Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 13 May 2011
Electrifying live performance playing songs from his entire career from Replicas, The Pleasure Principle and Telekon through to Pure and Jagged. As anyone who has seen him live recently will attest, it may be 30 years on but he's got more energy than bands half his age and he is still at his elemental and exploratory best, revitalized and recaptured, and importantly, rewriting his reborn future. "the godfather of electro easily rivals the Reznors or Mansons of this world for dark textures and introspective anguish." (Contact Music)

There are so many singers and not performers. There are so many performers and not singers. Then there is Gary Numan who is both a singer and a performer. Love his talent and music. Huge fan since the late 70's. Yes, I'm 52 yrs old and love this music.
59 here!
... and 50 here :D
I'm going to share this song with my brother, so we can remember our sibling who was never allowed to walk the earth.
44 and he has been my fav since I was 4
Brilliant....Gary wrote this to express himself after the still birth of his first child.....
"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."
Songwriters: Gary Anthony Webb / Gary Anthony James Webb

Its great to see a singer that still looks like they did years ago.. Even still sounds the same. Others have not aged as well. New music still echos his original sound and style, but it sounds fresh.
Saw him in Boston recently...... I've been going to live shows for 20 + years...... THIS was the BEST so far.....
Genius the best song Numan has ever written !
I know right! The original version was a bit hard to digest, but over the years, his voice has improved, and the song has been down mixed to perfection for the live performances.
My exact feeling also.
In my opinion his very best live track...
I was there for this... I still get goosebumps...
You incredibly lucky girl :)
Andre Chandler And he's coming back to Sydney on the 31st May...got ,my tickets this morning
Denise Butler TIcket(s)? ... that's great Denise, so you picked up a ticket for me as well :) .. I'll fly in from Vancouver a couple days prior to see the sights before we take in the show..
I may have a spare...lol
Cheers all! One of the best shows we've ever filmed too! Check out our other videos on our channel!
Couldn't imagine he'd get any better...here's proof - on EVERY artistic level!!!
True. He's so good, we've filmed him twice! Total gentleman too.
Yes! I met him@ Vintage Vinyl in NJ (*1st time & concert was NYC..I was 15+got an autograph*) for performance & 'Splinter' signing; I was still starstruck..he couldn't be any sweeter to everyone + saw his show in NYC just recently... outstanding !!!
His new stuff is marvelous
Numan’s most gloriously sublime song 🖤🖤🖤
I cry 😢 EVERYTIME @ 3:45 🌹🌹🌹
Gorgeous Gary and his lovely Gemma lost their baby bless them such a beautiful and poignant song
If this song is the answer ... then indeed, I did ask the right question!
Thanks for sharing, awesome recording, great live version
Awesone song.
Oh bless this is a song about Gemma losing one of her babies
Love gorgeous Gary so so much and will forever
I might have spray painted "If you were my shepherd then I'm lost and no one can find me" on the religious rehab that kicked me out when I failed to get religion.
Incredibly moving/heartbreaking song.
Scott Pierce it makes me cry. I got sober off opiates and his music kept me going on those many sleepless nights during the withdrawal symptoms
Amazing xx
Mesmerizing
Awesome tune
Ok everyone I will tell you why gorgeous Gary looks so gorgeous 1 he doesn't smoke 2 he doesn't drink ta da
The fuckin 💣 bomb ... so rad
Very near to cris Isaak - wicked Game - but brillant!
I disagree. The tracks don't sound at all alike
The chord progression you find similar was actually in Gary Numan's music before Chris Isaak. It was in the song "Music for Chameleons" from Gary's 1982 album "I, Assassin". That predates "Wicked Game" by 7 years. Gary brought it out to play again for "A Prayer for the Unborn" in his 2000 album release "Pure". When I first heard Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", I felt he must have heard Numan's track and thought, "Hey, I could do an entire song out of just that progression! That would be cool!" I'm not complaining, I love the sound. But... yeah, Gary did it first.
This song there's no question. Because i'snt an answer. It's an accusation, it's a disappointment.
been a numanoid for a long time, and i like the new stuff too, but i find it odd that numan writes a song blaming god for this very sad event, yet no songs about the abortion holocaust....
Rick Deckard One in three pregnancies end in miscarriage. Your God is the greatest abortionist of all.
No 'abortion holocaust' fucktard - stop evangelising and accept your god is fiction.
Yup, coz if we would believe the bible, we would all be inbreed ;)
Wow, you just straight up told everyone you were garbage with no hesitation
