Gary Numan - When The World Comes Apart (Official Video) 

In 1978, when I was 9 and already broken, abused and lost I stumbled across this guy through his music - he inspired me in every sense of the word and here I stand 40 years later.

WHo else is rediscovering Numan after decades not knowing he did THIS? Loving the sound here and a reinvention of self if you will.

This man never ages, he just gets better and better.

Can't believe I discovered him only today! He is amazing!! 😍

He was years ahead of his time, and his music still sounds fantastic.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is absolute GARBAGE without Gary Numan.

he's so underrated

Nearly 40 years on and yet again doesn't fail to deliver, take a bow sir you are a genius!

One of the best albums ever. Gary rips it up. As a big NIN fan I love the metallic wall of noise with the cut through melodies.

Think about it, Hes 62 today and he looks like hes in his mid 30s, Absolute legend. Dad loved you since years ago.

Trent Reznor says he was a big influence on N.I.N. He said N.I.N. influenced him back. I can definitely see that.

The worlds most underated artist. I've listened to him since 1979. He's a genius for real.

I'm not a hero's story I'm not a traitor's lie I'm not everything they said I'm not here to save you I'm not your confessor My sins alone can wake the dead But do you understand Nothing can make it better Nothing can make it go away And do you understand That we are lost to ruin And this will be your end of days And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? When my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind Where will you be, dear God? I have no forgiveness I have a heart of stone I am a lesson born of greed I am torn and twisted I am a broken bone I am what you made of me But do you understand That none of this will matter Nothing can take your pain away And do you understand That everything is shattered And so the whole world ends today And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? When my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind Where will you be, dear God? And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? When my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind I will find you, dear God

I appreciate this man even more at 59 than I ever have as a teenager. He's brilliant.

Holy crap. I thought Gary was a washed up 80's guy. He still kicks major butt! Sounds incredible.

Amazing song ... and love the lyrics: I'm not a hero's story I'm not the traitor's lie I'm not every thing they said I'm not here to save you I'm not your confessor My sins alone could wake the dead But do you understand? Nothing can make it better Nothing can make it go away And do you understand That we are lost to ruin And this will be our end of day-ay-ays? And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? And when my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind Where will you be, dear God? I have no forgiveness I have a heart of stone I am a lesson born of greed I am torn and twisted I am a broken bone I am what you've made of me But do you understand That none of this will matter? Nothing can take your pain away And do you understand That everything is shattered And so the whole world ends today-ay-ay? And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? And when my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind Where will you be, dear God? And when the sun fell down And when the moon failed to rise And when the world came apart Where were you? Were you with me? And when my light burns out And when my fire is cold And when my breath is the wind I will find you, dear God

I was in 4th Grade when he came out with "Cars" he made his mark. He inspired me to start and sing in 5 bands. Love his newest album!

been a fan for years and years ..... this bloke gets better as he gets older!!!

His inner soul never left us... listen to the beauty of this track... beautiful industrial celestial Numan

im only 14 and damn gary is a really good at what he does ive been a fan of his for about 8 months im going to one of his shows in about 3 months and im really exited.

With every track I hear, I'm more impressed with Gary Numan. He's had this massive shift in style and tone and it is brilliant. I love this new sound, this new darkness that yet is a mature darkness; it's the kind of thing that develops after you've lived a couple of years and been kicked around a little by life. It feels authentic which is something sorely lacking in so many things these days. Thank goodness for Numan!

Very classy engineering, there, Mr Numan. Clean and dirty at the same time. Excellent arrangement.

I can't believe I discovered him today and I've been a big fan of Nine Inch Nails since the 80s and I'm 39 years old

One of the best concerts I have ever been to, and I have been to A LOT!!! Gary is amazing!!!!!

God fucking damn, that's all I can say.

Very good vocals on this Track Very Dark

You know *why* Gary's music resonates with so many people? Not only the great skill, but something else. It's *honest.* This message of this song has been on the minds and lips of *many* of us, who've had to deal with the violent opposition of mediocre minds, just as Einstein told us about. I have encountered *many* such people, who really should've listened more, and oppressed a *whole* lot less.

wow this and ruin have made my skin go all goose bumps so good

I honestly still can't believe how amazing the new record is. Maybe it was just right for my ear or something, but really, it's so good! Not a single song is a filler. The concept works and can be felt throughout. Soundscapes (many thanks to Mr. Fenton I suppose) are just colossal. Choruses, synths, oriental nuances are all delicious as fuck. Don't spit in my face, but I don't care much for Splinter (except for the lead single, which I do love very much), but this record may very well be on par with Tellekon in my personal humble top 5. Very glad to receive an album that great! P.S. Gary, please come to Russia!

Absolutely beautiful song.

This album is gonna be amazing, loving every track so far.

The world is coming apart RIGHT NOW!!!

I dont know why, but it sounds like a dark industrial when the saints go marchin in version haha... and it's awesome.

Someone made the comment he’s the most underrated artist can’t be truer He is amazing seen the best and seen him many time. Absolutely blows you away. His concerts are tight well managed as far as sets. Can’t say enough especially about his last four albums. Incredible just incredible. People may say h you are just being a fan. No. This shits true he’s badass and getting better.

I feel privileged to have followed this man from the beginning ... Sure, he's had his bumps in the road musically but who hasn't ... This man opened the doors for so many it's impossible to count ... Pure genius.

The future has returned!

Gary if you read this, THANK YOU! I haven’t heard an album *this* good in years! This album will forever be stitched into me. I knew “Cars” and some remixes, I’d be lying if I said I have all of your music. I don’t- yet! This side of you is something your average Phish fan would throw out. But I’m not a Phish fan, and finding “Savage” has changed me. In good ways. I just wanted to thank you, Sir. I’ll be listening until my heart bursts through the Moon. I didn’t appreciate you and your music before “Savage”. Now I’ve another discography to complete. I bought the full CD, as soon as I could click to order it. Now I better realize what you started with; a few “bloops/bleeps/blooopa/bloops!” (Roughly translated), now I have your universe to explore! And bet your biscuits, I will! Thank you, Sir (and Persia, if she chooses music, will Rattle the Halls of Fools!) | a sidebar: | - I know she may not choose music , but she’s incredible- it doesn’t take much listening to know she has the Gift. I think it’s amazing that you brought her in- your voices together are very worth the ticket price (if only you had a gig in West Michigan to see live... I’ve seen the Cure, Depeche, Bowie- I hope to add youto the list! One advantage of more or less discovering you this deep into your career means I’ve many albums to go back to (and get you paid). No You = no music today. Rap, rock, current country (that’s a weird one to reconcile) - one would be here if you hadn’t found the emotion in the machines. Thank you, Sir!

This song is perfect from start to finish. Not a single part I would skip

If any of you haven't bought this yet, it comes with an epic surprise. The CD case is actually in a book form, like a child's hardcover book. Very nice touch and expensive to make.

3 years have gone!

My favourite track from the Savage Album, pure brilliance.....

I just discovered Gary and my life is changed

This man's back catalogue is truly amazing, from his b sides to his slower stuff ... His ear for a melody is so underrated it's almost criminal ... Genius.

Love it!

As always, fascinatingly expressive. I've been a follower since 1980. The perfect realisation of Futurism, there will never be a replacement for the authentic genius of Gary Numan. Futurist Sorcerer of Sound. ☢️
