I didn't know much about Gary Numan, then I discovered him two days ago. Now I'm in total Gary Numan psychosis ;) I have been listening for all the songs I have missed out on nonstop while working, ordered Splinter yesterday. Totally in love, especially with his newer songs!
You can hear the roots of this in his 80's stuff, what a great direction for him to go, gothic industrial seems to suit for a label if one needs one for it. I saw Gary Numan live last year, in a small local music venue. The building is old, with original wooden floors that vibrate under you feet. You can FEEL the bass. This stuff is HARD live...and you can feel it to the core of your bones. Incredible. One of the better small venue shows I have ever been to.
Gary has my utmost respect for everything he's done, at the age of 56 he's still kicking ass more than a lot of other people out there how can you not like a song like this no matter how old you are, i'm 22 this is as up to date as it can be in my opinion..
Most who even know his name, only think of "Cars"... He is so much more than that. A pioneer on many levels. Highly underrated. It's a crime. My opinion.
We we're dust in a world
Of grim obsession.
We wouldn't taunt from mouth
Like an isolation.
We we're pulled from our path
Of least resistance.
And the songs we sang
What became of us?
We're here waiting for you
We're here waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you
We all pray for the end
For the god to take us.
We we're falling down
One by one.
We we're weak and the fear
Was all around us.
The machines screamed from
Moon to sun.
We're here waiting for you
We're here waiting for you
We are yours
We're waiting for you
We are yours
