Gary Numan - A Prayer for the Unborn (and Y Gray Mix) 

The depth of this song is staggering ! If you don’t know the story, or the lyrics, learn up! So pure! So raw! So understood. Gary’s heart is laid out on this one. Harsh

Now I know why this track brings me to tears - I had no idea what it was about until now. I too lost my daughter at 32 weeks and had to retrieve her lifeless body from the toilet basin whilst she was still connected to her mother via the umbilical chord. It was the most harrowing day of my life - signing a birth certificate and a death certificate in the same moment was a horrific reality that hope is just that and dreams can be crushed in an instant. One thing is for sure - the beauty of life is that it moves on and we move on with it - holding on to memories and letting go of pain. Enjoy every moment - that is the only thing that is truly real - everything else is simply a 'was' or a 'when'. What amazing piece of music!!!!!!!!

I meet you Gary with my brother in Seattle in 2014. I didn't tell you about my miscarriage though. This song and understanding you understood my pain, you saved me so much. I want to thank you so much Gary, thank you.

My name is Bobby Graham and I am a big fan of gary numan for years

Can't believe i'm saying this but I actually prefer this remix to the original. Great tune and fantastic remix.

so psychedellic as Pink Floyd... and look I love PF... VERY GOOD

The remix took this track onto a higher plane. You could ask why it was never released as a single, but since 1980, Numan’s inability to spot a top single has become almost legendary. The only thing better than listening to this is to listen to it being played live. Unbelievably powerful.

Gary Numan- 30 years of pure, respectable, truly appreciated art.

This is something special. Musically. Words. ....'Atmosphere'.......Thanks Gary.

This should have been a single. A live favourite.

This remix is the definitive version, hands down! Numan is greatness

Other worldly. Even better live. For someone who doesn’t believe in God, he sure knows spirituality.

I go around to my female friends house on occasion and drink with her. I ask her to put this track on youtube, of course she complies, (well she used to) untill she had enough of it breaking my heart and me uncontrollably in floods of tears. She has now banned the song and the tears. She means the world to me and I love her so much thatI shall never ask her to play it for me again.

One of the few occasions where the remix is better than the original version.

How can there be no comments in three years?!? This track is MAGNIFICENT. Where is everyone??

this song comes from the heart. the lose of child causes alot of mixed emotions. at this time in his life, God gave and to him took away without an explanation. put yourself in his shoes. it's a song of lost and confusion done beautifully.

just brill !!!!!

Wow wow wow.. what can one say!!!!

This is how he usually plays it live

Last thing I heard from Gary was “In Cars” just started to listen to latest stuff of the last decade......wow!

This is the best remix ever!!!

I'm feeling this bitter about my miscarriage today. Measured 11 weeks and 1 day with no heartbeat at my 12 week scan. I believe in divinity and divine unfolding. I did mantras everyday to protect the baby. I'm so bitter and I have to admit, angry at God atm. How could this be the plan? Fourth miscarriage. I do so much for other people. How is karma real? I want to see the light... so badly

simply stunning. sounds awesum in my front room at 100watts...sod the neighbours!

This is my favourite mix - first discovered it when I got my driving test aged 33 in London. Playing this track and running the south circular. Saw many interesting things at 2am on a Saturday night but kept going and enjoying the beat

@4:05 the real shine and glory of Gary Numan.

just so good. the louder the better. this rocks

Gary Numan the best and the king enough said

F**king awsome re-mix...top drawer!

Just awesome................

Those are some powerful lyrics. A whirlwind of emotions!

Just discovered this. Wow.

Andy G you are a genius

Its just him what I wanted and what he wanted in the end of a creation ... That is what creation is all about getting beyond people like vangelis Jon Anderson .... What I listen too and play my self ....

I love this- lyrics are sublime and from the heart - from someone who has Asperger's!!!Yes I hear some repeated stuff in Numan's music but lots of original stuff - and its always nice to hear 'numan' beats and riffs!!

This song is amazing and religiously deep, since it sounds like if God were talking to Jesus, but as a futuristic Messiah.

My favourite song in the world 🌎 👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥

completly right with peter ellis especially for this track!! hell yes!

I love to listen to this in my Audi A8. Bose with 10 speakers.....loud and fekin awesome. Best remix ever

Gary's music has some turth to it for me

Absolutely epic. Always moves me given the backstory.

Thank you for this prayer

Wow. This is a magnificent interpretation, I absolutely love it. Nicely, nicely done. Thanks for putting this up.

Headphones on my word I'm gone somewhere else xx

Gary you'll be amazed!

Beauuuuti fullll...

Yep this is the best one!!!!!

👍🏻❤❤

sic!!

This version has to be one of the best Numan has done. Right up there with AFE?

Grandissimo remix

Where did you go AURA?

I really need this version ,can I buy it anywhere?

This is a Rare Remix even better than the Album version, IMO

This has grown on me down the years, although it always bugged me that the chorus melody sounded very familiar. Tonight I had I, Assassin on the iPod and when Music For Chameleons came on bingo! If I am totally honest the familiarity of the melody was always off putting and stopped me really embracing this song.

I have the original now, 👻.

In case nobody knows what this song is about I will tell you it is so sad poor gorgeous Gary and lovely gemma they lost their babies years ago bless them lovely gemma had a miscarriage

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😮

Remix is best... sorry Gary... did u ever hear the original version of the Carpenter's 'Close,To You'? Sorry Burt, Richard got it right

He lost someone?

My server May and no one can hear me

Is this the Andy Gray Mix? Or the and Y Gray mix?

Rarely heard something good

Understand his frustration, but as a personal friend of God I can guarantee he's quite short sighted about Him. Spend time in the Bible and God will arrive to transform you.

Orchestrated Poetry.

Voyager.....

Andy Gray should jave produced his music instead of Ade Fenton. His remixes are the best

juste de la bal....

You tube, take the 🤬 ADVERT OFF! please.

well - it could be worse .... But as a fan of redundant repetition you should considder to "work" with abstracts of Phil Glass (or simillar simmilar simmilarities ... Terry Riley ?)

What is Gary Numan's beliefs? Sounds like he's bitter towards God.

gary his best work since cars and are friends electric: god gave him a gift to bring to us all his amazing keyboard sounds we all loved but as usual the devil came in and destroyed that work side tracking gary with personal problems and blame god : which turned his gift to crap: wake up gary honour god with the great gift he gave you stop fighting him :

Gary babe it's not god that took yours and gemmas baby away its satan
