I really like finding meanings in music the song meaning and this is really hard to dipict I can't quite get it but u ca tell that the listener is what he is talking about he always states do you and like you but the overall lyrics are really out there

    ------ About the song Metal performed by Gary Numan

trent did a few covers, the adam and track "physical", the "supernaut" track by sabbath and ofcourse the gary numan cover. but this review isnt about NiN. gary does some good synth work, alot of people like covering it, down in the park for instance. i like doin covers of numans work with my copy of Reason, always fun to try it in a different format of genre, much like how richard cheese does some covers of alt/nu-metal/rock songs in his jazzy lounge-pianist manner. bottom line is the numan track is good, the covers make it better

Excellent | Reviewer: Numanne
    ------ About the song Crazier performed by Gary Numan

One of the best tracks on the "Hybrid" double album, done with a fabulous under-rated artiest named Rico. Great sound to, I recommend checking out the Crazier single versions (specifically the "slide mix")

    ------ About the song Cars performed by Gary Numan

This song just gets me pumped up in the morning... or afternoon, or evening. I could listen to this song 24/7! Viva la Gary Numan.

Still one of the gems of Gary's work | Reviewer: Brian
    ------ About the song Complex performed by Gary Numan

If you are moved by Gary’s sadder, introspective songs, Complex stands as one the defining workpieces in that area. Present throughout is that sweet string voicing used everywhere in the Pleasure Principle album, but in Complex, they seem to sing along with Gary in a counterpoising, aching melody. As for Gary, in his typical-for-that-era high-pitched nasal tone, he outlines for us his feelings of alienation and mistrust in some of his most (for me) creatively simple and brief, yet meaningful, verses. Gary has always been able to evoke a strong reaction out of me with the simplest of lines, and in Complex he implores towards the end, “Please keep them away - Don't let them touch me. Please don't let them lie - Don't let them see me.” When this album came out, this one verse basically said it all for me, in terms of my feelings towards humanity and the pain that always resulted from my involvement with them. Like Gary, I have grown and warmed with age, but this song for me is still like going to some secret place, by myself, and watching over the world from a distance, unknown to them.

Haunting & minimilistic | Reviewer: Digideus
    ------ About the song Empty Bed, Empty Heart performed by Gary Numan

Gary Numan has always pushed the envelope in some way, often creating amazing musical dirge with his seemingly unrelenting genius. Thing is, this song sounds like a musical accident, however, the end result is one of his most accomplished pieces of the time. This song, with its haunting synth melody and minimalistic rhythm is the perfect vehicle for the lyric, and the Saxaphone break in the last minute of the song is inspired. Not a happy song by any means, but Gary knows where his strengths lie and, for the time this song was made, reinforces it. Nothing short of a masterpiece.

    ------ About the song Are 'Friends' Electric? performed by Gary Numan

gobsmackingly direct, hurtful, yet pleasing in an embarrassing way | Reviewer: svenny
    ------ About the song A Prayer For the Unborn performed by Gary Numan

Saw tubeway army in 1978, last bastion acton, west london. Fan ever since certainly right up to telekon, after that the odd songs still hit home. I heard this track and its remixes whilst travelling on a virgin train from cumbria to reading ( 6 hours ) some years after its release. My dad had terminal cancer and as an ex royal marine was finding it very hard to allow people to care for him in what were his last days, i was summoned down to reading to help - i dont know if i misinterpret the lyrics, misunderstand them or as often happens with numans lyrics replace them with your own similar verse, but i cried and i still do when i hear this massive choon and its mixes. If any one has a list and or copies of all mixes available of this stunning track, i'll get round to writing my review of the last bastion gig - something ive been meaning to do since 1978. Ive also seen a live version on a cd format of hybrid which is just beautiful, love him or loathe him, this choon WILL make you sit up, take notice of your life, and cause you to break down, as i said not neccesarily in tears but certainly in awe. Numanoids keep in touch, chill out lovers and email me with info of alternative mixes thanx for listening
