A Deeper Meaning to Music (8 music items)

"Most people don't know how or don't even try to understand Gary Numan's lyrics. Dissecting his lyrics is no different than a maze that you keep walking for hours on end, it may take a lifetime to understand Telekon to some people. The deeper meaning is depression and seeing things as they truly are, full of doom and gloom as you start to see what really goes on. I leave the table saying 'I am real' I feel the pressure like your eyes on me Don't mention that name and books on love I can't be"

Frank Listens to the 80's - The Best of the 80's (96 music items)

""Sometimes I get these questions It reminds me of the skin game We used to stand around on corners Saying 'well here we are again'". By 1980, Gary Numan had already established himself as the core of synth in such a short period of time. Telekon would expand the creative output from Pleasure Principle and now is known as a land mark in New Wave/Synth and even Goth and Industrial Rock. It's known as Numan's peak in music, the lyrics tackling some depressing subjects from ghost stories of pilots"
