    Where genius meets music production. Numan and Fenton, a force of nature.

    Gary has this very soft, relaxing, kind, safe, "You go to bed, I´ll sing you to sleep" kinda voice and I love it!!!!!!!

    He 🎤 sings from his heart, the pain of losing children he really desired, in a Prayer for the Unborn, and Little InVitro, trust me, and now that he has children, he is singing about HIS life ending. AMAZING SOUL, AMAZING SONG. LOVE ❤️ YOU GARY

    Having newly rediscovered Gary’s music by chance on Spotify I am amazed at how good his music is!! He has not been picked up by the main stream and I think that is what makes his music so incredible to listen to now!!

    I dont know that I've ever appreciated an artist more. Tubeway Army to Ade Fenton. Thank you Gary for putting so much of yourself into your music and into my life.

    This is the perfect ending track on an album. The instrumental bit from 3:00 to the end just hits HARD for some reason. It's SO good. That piano, that percussion, that SYNTH! Every time I play the vinyl, I keep saying "no, don't end yet, no, you have to keep going..." Afterward, I would often play it again when this was his most recent release. But now I can follow it up with Savage, and it's just SO cool.

  • @dagansgamingbox6604
    @dagansgamingbox6604 Před 4 lety +12

    Man... Even without that intro and lyrics, that instrumental piece tells a story all on its own. It's rare that I can listen to a song (or portion) without lyrics that evokes such impactful power. This will always be a masterpiece in my opinion.

    I like the calmer compositions of this album and The Fury so much. They have such an austere and melancholy atmosphere with a truly lush and brilliant sound in textures and harmonies, and strangely intimate and humanizing for an artist so linked to a "distant android" character..

    I believe my Dad must have been one of the top ten Gary Numan fans ever, was beyond obsessed haha we went to see multiple times when I was younger, since he passed this song just feels almost like a message he left behind for me, my brother and sister it just gives me such a powerful emotion i cant describe every lyric and instrumental.

  • @jennianking84

  • @greatwestern101
    @greatwestern101 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I am not a Numan super-fan, not even close, but I absolutely respect the man who can still produce music of this quality, some 40 years after first finding fame!
    Gary's genius is holding on to a unique persona and sound - the mark of all the great artists.
    It was a pleasure to stumble upon the BBC documentary from 2014(?) the other week, where I heard this great song.
    Long live Gary Numan!

    My husband and I were talking about good funeral songs and this was the only thing I could think of. I walked down the aisle to the piano version of Down In The Park at our wedding, so it seems fitting I either come or go out of the funeral to Gary Numan

  • @Skipigeon
    @Skipigeon Před 9 lety +26

    Love the use of contrary motion between the melody lines & bass in the instrumental portion. Gary is broadening his horizons and I'm a fan of this record album. Depth of contrast is great!

    I'd like to watch you grow tall, it can never be
    Kiss you to sleep but I know it can never be
    Wipe away all of your tears, it can never be
    Wake you to see a sun rise that I will never see.
    Oh Oh it comes
    Oh Oh it comes
    My last day.
    I'd like to mend every hurt, it can never be
    Be there to catch every fall, it can never be
    Be there to love everything you will never be
    Sleep now, I wish you sweet dreams I will never see.
    Oh Oh it comes
    Oh Oh it comes
    My last day.

      I love this heart-breaking song. One of my top ten faves of any song. I shot my coffee five feet and laughed hysterically when I read this, it DOES sound like "in cars"

    • @tiffanyhouchin6055
      @tiffanyhouchin6055 Před 6 lety

      BooGiEMaN696 I think he actually has a reverse each line approach here, one line says it COMES, THEN IT COMES BUT LATER IN THE SONG HE SAYS IT COMES, IN CARS...YOU AND YOUR EARS DID A GREAT JOB OF PICKING THAT UP. So much NIN apparent here, and he has their guitar 🎸 guitar player Robin Here. Trent and Gary use some familiar techniques and at times past, samples, whether they knew it or not,
      It’s amazing how many times Gary has changed during his career. There’s no one else like him.

    Adding to the great haunting ballads Gary Numan has constructed across a 40+ year career. Beautiful song, probably my favorite on Splinter.

  • @AnthonyCassidy50
    @AnthonyCassidy50 Před 6 lety +6

    Whoever is making gary numans creative decisions these days is a genius, and I say that just incase it isn't him. I instantl loved this tune. At first listen this reminded me of a c64 sid tune from back in the 80s. It was usually the case that c64 sid writers tried to emanate the headlining synth artists and copy their tunes (jean michel jarre etc), so that's what I thought would have happened - and I could see this tune having been a big hit in the 80s. Then I noticed it was from 2013, and so that theory went out the window...but then it was replaced with a thought of how can still emit creative genius like this 35 years later?!? Its a wonderful song in any case.

    • @calebfuller4713
      @calebfuller4713 Před 3 lety +1

      Haha - it's all Gary Numan making the creative decisions, writing the songs and music and doing most of the work. He collaborates with a producer called Ade Fenton who polishes them a bit, sometimes changes around sounds, or adds his own musical input - they almost work like a duo/band at this point. I've even seen Ade playing synths live for Gary sometimes.

  • @oldgamer1299
    @oldgamer1299 Před 3 lety +1

    Followed Numan from the very first time I heard Are friends electric? Back in 79? I remember having a tear in my eye, when he performed this on the tour at Rock City Notts. Top bloke Numan is.

    I've been a fan for a long time. Saw him on the Telekon tour in 1980. That being said, this song is possibly my favorite thing he's ever done. Considering in a couple of years it will mark 40 years in the business for Gary, that's saying something. How many artists stay relevant that long?

      @Butcher__ Před 6 lety +4

      Considering he was shit on by the media and other music artists saying his career would never last long, musicians who's careers died a long time ago, he's done very well. I'd say he's been bringing on newer generations from dead son rising to savage. I'd love to see the next installment in the splinter-savage series

    It is a beautiful song which if I remember correctly he wrote about a very close friend of his and his family who was diagnosed with a really bad illness, usually terminal, I think the lady in question actually was lucky enough to survive, hopefully. this song still bring a tear to my eye though

    Album graphic for this is absolutely brilliant. Firstly, its instantly recongisable as him - nearly like a caricature. Secondly, its a wonderfully self mocking image. Its done in the style of one of those old photos that we are only left to imagine what it was like living 120 years ago. Very effective - but you're not dead yet Mr Numan :)

      Steve Jenks I don’t kids yet and I understand the emotion. Everyone of us will be gone one day. The song shows to me every end of life of someone is huge happening touching the sky to that one and it’s important to make your life the way you want then once your end will be delightful way to say goodbye to all you’ve successfully done but if you won’t be in time having things you haven’t done this end will be huge huge tragic and tons of regrets with no way back to fix it.
