I was 14 in 1985 when i heard this guy for the first time. In that year his song was “change your mind”. By that time i never stopped following Gary...each Numan’s album is gold.
If Gary did the soundtrack to Cyberpunk 2077, that would be unbelievable. His music has always been incredible but what he's doing now intersects perfectly with the world today.
So here I stand Guilty before you Head bowed in shame Tearful and lonely Can you forgive me in time? So here we are The bridge over rainbows Our time must end here You cross without me But you will see me again I bless the day you wrapped a soul in kindness I bless the day your gentle soul came home I bless the day you walked into my life and I bless the day you stole my heart away This is good-bye For now, my friend We'll meet again This is good-bye But not the end We'll meet again So here I stand Tortured and helpless Lost in my heartbreak Your journey's over Mine's filled with memories of you I bless the day you wrapped a soul in kindness I bless the day your gentle soul came home I bless the day you walked into my life and I bless the day you stole my heart away If I call you Will you hear me? I will love you always If I see you Would you run to me? I will love you always
I found out through Facebook a couple of weeks ago that my ex boyfriend (my first love) had passed away suddenly on March 1st. He was a good man. Thank you for blessing my life, Francis❤
Love this song, makes me tear up Everytime. Brought back memories of my dog Mojo, who I love dearly, she went missing in Dallas years ago and I miss her still
I absolutely adore this song but it brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. I just think of my old Labrador I lost back in 2017. Loved him so much...still do.
Losing a beloved pup is the worse-different from losing a human, but just as painful. Looking into a dogs eyes, and being able to see their gentle soul-that is what this song makes me feel . So beautiful, and sad
I have a feeling this could actually be about Wilbur, Sums up my feelings of how I felt when I lost my old Lab last year. Lovely sentiments Gary. X Thankyou.
Truly Mr Numan you are at the top of your writing skills. I cannot believe your consistent work has gone on for so long! I bless the day you came into my life, thank you!
I do realize that you wrote your comment three long years ago, but … it did not prove to be accurate, and really, who could have anticipated, or even suspected that he would excel even beyond the level he had reached with “Savage”. I can only hope that you were fortunate enough to hear ‘Intruder’, and then there is ‘When The Sky Came Down’.
I had absolutely no idea until I read (R)evolution that this was about a dog, and I'm listening to it now because of a dog. Our 14 year old Bichon Frise, Sam was euthanized yesterday afternoon and the grief is incredible. Who else could write such an incredibly emotional song as this but Gary? It is beautiful and the tears are streaming down my face. Although it was written about one of his own dogs, it says exactly what I would want to say to Sam, but don't know how to. Thank you Gary.
@Eleanor Churchill "I will bless the day you walked into my life." Lyrics l like that are not positive? Yes, there is pain, but he is dealing with it in a positive way. He is expressing pain of a lost loved one, though remembering that person with love and admiration.
In my mind he's the perfect 'rock' star, How he is so self deprecating, very approachable, a good family man and writes brilliant music...The perfect role model for any young potential rock star.
The loss of our pets will always hurt 😢, regardless of how they go. But it's always worse when we blame ourselves for their deaths, or at least when we blame ourselves for not seeing it coming in time to save them.
".....I bless the day you wrapped us all in kindness. I bless the day your gentle soul came home........ I bless the day you walked into my life.......... Lost in my heartbreak Your journey's over Mine's filled with memories of you" Thank you Gary. You're words are beautiful.X
Gary this is such a powerful song lyrically! It had me in tears because I relate to it on many levels! Loved you in Manchester Bridgewater Hall last night! Thanks so much for being part of my life still!
The entire EP is as amazing as everything Gary creates, but this track is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I'm not sure it's fair that he gets to possess such a disparate proportion of creative genius, but I'm glad he does because what a treasure it is for the rest of us to soak in the results. I think all the documentaries and interviews I've seen with Gary bear this theory out, but something as beautiful as this song, I have to think, can only come out of a truly beautiful human soul.
I remember watching in wonderment and being starstruck when i first saw Gary on Top of the pops way back when it all began. True Showman fantastis sjnger and a great song writer. Musical Genius.
Your words have blessed my ears for many decades now. I love that you have a loving family. I love that you are supported in your art and that it grows and has continued to grow. It touches me every time I hear it. May you write for as long as you remain here and it brings you happiness. I met my partner eleven years ago on Second Life writing stories. She worked and helped to get me here. I travelled from Texas to arrive in Plymouth. I knew when I saw her face that it was where my heart belonged. When her hand went into mine I was home. Your music has helped us both quite a lot. She is my heart and the most gentle soul I have ever been blessed enough to be worthy of.
He is FAR MORE deserving than many of the recent peerages. The Monarchy is a better institute than You realise. Did you know, The Queen is Exempt from income tax, But pays it anyway.
I missed all the bands when they were in the mode no pun. I missed this guy for 40 years. I am now addicted so beautifully sad. I have listened to so much shit at last something real.
Absolutely LOVE this song. Been a fan since AFE in 1979 and loved his stuff for years. Wasn't keen at all on a few albums of the last 10 - 12 years but Savage has a lot of stuff I really like again. This track is well up there with my favourites, there's real emotion in there and I just love it :D
