Numan, Gary - Bed Of Thorns Lyrics

How absolutely beautiful and sublime this is.

your welcome to stand in my place your welcome to feel what I feel your welcome to sleep in my bed 🛌 of thorns

Just discovering this guy...been listening to several albums, past and recent. This music is brilliant, the best modern musician..originality on a par with Mozart. Don't believe me...listen to the different songs.

if he does a song for a . film it’s got to be something unique above and beyond 👽❤️🛸👁👩‍🚀

your welcome to sleep in my bed of thorns

"You're welcome to stand in my place
You're welcome to feel what I felt
You're welcome to live my life
And you're welcome to stay in my bed of thorns"


I am singing this song in my head, and it will not go away! Good Job Gary Numan! Awesome song!

The picture of the pyramid and the colors in this video remind me of the horror film The Void (2017), and the album version of this song always made me think of that film too.

Scarlett hello

Reminds me of Johnathan Davis songs from Queen of the Damned.

So a remix?

I just discovered this version! Amazing!!!

You gotta love those dark vibes of Gary Numen.

brilliant!

I wrote a song with this same name over a year ago and it is better than this. I actually play an instrument instead of letting a computer do it for me.

I'm waiting in the dark
Waiting for a dark light
To show me the way
I'm hiding from the world
Trapped by my ambition
Drowning in my fear

You're welcome to stand in my place
You're welcome to feel what I feel
You're welcome to live my life
You're welcome to sleep in my bed of thorns

I'm walking through the dust
Pulling out splinters
Of things that never last
I'm easily forgotten
There is always someone
Better than the past

You're welcome to stand in my place
You're welcome to feel what I feel
You're welcome to live my life
You're welcome to sleep in my bed of thorns

You're welcome
You're welcome
You're welcome
You're welcome

So just to be clear.. This is Paramount Pictures Studio putting up this video? Doesn't seem to fit a huge movie studio. Could be me, but most movie studios like to plaster their branding on everything, not just have a CG Triangle with a bass heavy version of Mr. Numan's work, which is a current album now, and say it's inspired music from a movie that is a few years old. I'm gonna call Shenanigans on this one.. Don't get me wrong I love the track own the album, but this just seems like a Ghost of what it could be..

If section 9 disagrees, I'll be in the briefing room with Saito.

Ron Seipel I'm pretty sure this was a demo for the song Numans came up with a good long time ago so I think its legit

This one is REALLY good! WOOOOO! 😎😎😎😎😎...SOOOOO PRETTY! From ARE FRIENDS ELECTRIC? to here...Just gets better and better! Thought he was a mad genius back in the day and I still do. 👏👏👏👏👏 Also... #FLAPPYHANDSCLUB! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗...GARY NUMAN and JEFF GOLDBLUM make the Flappy Hands Club look SOOOOO good! 🤗👍😎

i like this version better

My name is ruin love it numan's back

book of the new sun

cracking track.....sooooooo good live too...Numan just keeps getting better and better...this track just builds and builds...awesome

MUSIC FROM THE FUTURE...

Power Music!

Still gothin strong you industrial god!

The whole album is awesome

Epic. Gary has this intrinsic ability to take his essence and intent and imprint it upon the listener without mercy. Each of us feels what Gary feels, when we listen. Not many artists can pull this off the way Gary does. I absolutely LOVE this track. However, I will say that the standard album version, with its more prominent placement of the analog synths, just reduces me to jelly.

MrPink Agree. He is a genius mastermind.

The BBC were wrongghh

Cool song

Cool songs

From the Album "Savage"

This is a slight remix.

@mstcrow5429 Actually, it's the original demo version. Basically, he hadn't actually finished working on it, but they still used it, to his surprise. The album version has had Ade Fenton's input as a produce and sound engineer. This is Gary's own original solo version, made in his own studio.

Savage = The Good Shit

OMG wow amazing xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ok. not even 30 second in and I have goosebumps.

my comments keep double posting for some reason. sorry about that. :/

Savage by Gary Numan is a Masterpiece album!! Bed of Thorns my favorite track!! Cuts right through the soul!! ☠

✋😎✋

Sounds like something from Depeche Mode's Ultra

In 1996 there's no way DM could've put this together. Sonically or emotionally. I've em though so no hate!

Holy shit I hear it !!

Numan is god.

Sounds accurate to My moaning LoL

Numan's music is mystical and transcendent.........

fusox Exactly, I also told him his music is transcendent.

Very nice, but was he actually inspired by Ghost in the Shell, when he wrote this?

Jonathan Warner seems to match the movie pretty well.

Jonathan Warner
it was about his fans. Alot of the time some of us fans stress him out a bit. Wanting him to keep creating music and it was basically about wanting them to be in his shoes for a few moments.

Gray numan this graet check out my film goddoursaw

Your album SAVAGE is another Master Piece..As always....

Exceptional ,Excellent Music every time, Thanks Gary!!!! Been following you since 1977.Thanks for teaching me your music on my keyboards!!!

Why am I just now hearing this?

Two of my favorite things.

*Why am I just now hearing this?*

Great song. Don't know why but every time I hear it, Type O Negative comes to mind... different genres, same style of composing, same mood.

Completely agree with the TypeO reference.

I think of queen of the damned film music was great in that.

I was looking if anyone else felt like that! Sounds kinda like NIN and the chorus reminds me of TON!

Think gary would do a brilliant theme for a bond movie

That's a great idea, but now I'm wondering if he's been asked before.

There's a comment for James but... LoL

Its live concert back in the day..liking the new style. Bravo.

I don't want to watch this movie and the Enjoy the Silence cover is shit, but this track rules.

He's never been away he just gets better that's all.

Anybody know if this was played during the actual movie? Still haven't seen it but really want to. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Still, I never thought I would live to see a Gary Numan song to the Soundtrack to a Ghost In The Shell live action movie. :)

No, it's not on the soundtrack. It's just "music inspired by." The actual soundtrack was recorded and composed by Clint Mansell (of Pop Will Eat Itself) and Lorne Balfe.

One of the best songs in 2017

Shame Gary gets over shadowed by all the popular garbage that is playing for music these days.

Hammer fall. Hit my heart. Best Numan work in years. Holy hell, this music i miss in the charts

Easily the best song on the track.

Sounds like the 1990s

I don't know why, bit when i listen to this song it always remembers me of Twin Peaks, recalling to my mind its onyric atmosphere.

Illuminating, thanks!

Nazi Vampire Eating Babies except that Twin Peaks is an over rated pile of pretentious garbage from an over rated pile of pretentious garbage of a director with a steaming pile of horseshit that he calls a body of "work".

Ben Hayes

Trent was influenced by Gary first so it's a nice little appreciation :)

Just incredible track Gary Numan is still up there with the best of them

love this track

Anyone interest in this song should give Gary Numan's Pledge campaign for his new album a go. He's brilliant. This song is only a demo! It will be on his new album later this year. http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/garynuman

Goth meets Massive Attack

Magister Noctis
Gary Numan is Gothic.
It's like saying because artists and bands like
The Cure, The Frozen Autumn, The Sisters Of Mercy, Clan Of Xymox, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Siouxie and the Banshees or even Marilyn Manson and NIN use Synths that doesn't make them Gothic AT ALL?

I was around during the 70s when Tubeway Army kicked off a whole load of Goths in Glasgow went crazy. They loved it, Are Friends Electric and Down In The Park were the next big thing and actually opened the doors for many to what would become Darkwave. When The Pleasure Principle came out and Telekon these Cureheads were practically worshipping Gary Numan. My flatmate was a Goth, he was into The Cure in the 80s. He played the Vinyl discs of Down In The Park, Are Friends Electric, I Die You Die and even Cars until they were worn out. Hell I went with my aunt to America, she dropped me off at a hotel in New York, went down to what was called a "batcave" or atleast the Americans equivalent, they were playing Down In The Park, That's Too Bad, Bombers, Are Friends Electric, CARS and even Music For Chameleons. Of course they had Deathrock and The Cure but it was amazing that even though he is still only known for Cars, this club could appreciate him.
Went to the same one in 99 they played Magic, The Angel Wars, Dead Heaven, Love And Napalm, Bleed, Dominion Day. I remember every one coming on, two by Gary followed by a different song perhaps another two different ones, then to Gary.
It's ridiculous to think the Goth subculture is one solid style of both aesthetic and sound, it is an evolving, growing experiment of both. And no Emo does not count AT ALL either.

Magister Noctis
I have lived in Pennysylvania my whole life and my old friend who I believe is still a Goth to this day adored Gary Numan. He was always wanting to visit the UK to see his shows. Fortunately Gary toured America in the 80s. We both went to see him. My friend was crying afterward because he got his wish. Another friend of mine had his own short lived local band, Dethbed 4 he covered Alien Sex Fiend, The Cure, Bauhaus and he even did his own versions of Cars and Down In The Park. He had a TR 808 drum machine and a beat up, tattered minimoog he used to make an 8 bit sound. He had a an echoey guitar sound with the drum machine and the 8 bit for Down In The Park. I vividly remember him singing it with goggles on and a Slavic accent. At his house he had all sorts of records, including Down In The Park, Are Friends Electric, Cars, That's Too Bad, Bombers, Dance and Complex. He worshipped Numan and his Underground pals (as it was called then) destroyed the discs as they always listened to Are Friends Electric whenever they were gathered round the living room. Good times. He rushed to the record store when I told him New Anger was in. Gary Numan was certainly classed as Darkwave by the regular roller disco DJs and by me and my friends. On the radio they said "here is Cars by Goth Synthpop artist Gary Numan" and That was a rarity for the word Goth to be even used back then. To America Gary was a one hit wonder but even that radio announcer stuck that barely existent "goth" label to Numan. You'd be surprised. When NIN and Manson kicked off many Goths got into their music and talked of Manson's cover of Down In The Park and how either bad or faithful it was to the original. Hell even in 1992 when Gary was going through an awful period, the hangout the Goths would go to was reduced to 12 People either talking or in silence and a swinging door as they had booked tickets to fly over to the UK... to book tickets to see you can guess who.

Wasn't that club The Toolshed?

Victor Frankenstein
If you mean "Spades and Shedtools" then I think you are right! :)

Magister Noctis
Eh?
In 1984 the Goth clubs blared out Berserker and Replicas in Sheffield!

This song is amazing! Quite addictive!

love this

Not his best work. And sounds a ton like another track...from Sacrifice maybe?

Sounds very similar to a track on "Pure" , just a bit quieter

It's a demo.

*goosebumps*

No, goosedumps!

Perfect for Ghost in the Shell soundtrack. Atmospheric.

Yes Gary!☺️

gary pls come homee

Where's that? LoL

No 3D Blu Ray = No Buy

This is awesome!!!!!!!

Gary Numan car's

salas7146 Yes! Triangles.

Gary Numan belongs to a car?

Holy shit he still alive.

Gary puts out new albums every 3 to 4 years. He has literally never gone away. Since 1979.

Gary's new album Savage has just made #2 in this week's Official album charts! I guess he's 'relevant' again.

Hell yes he is !

Well, Aspergers. I'm pretty sure that is a type of high functioning autism. I have Aspergers as well and I can tell you it is no hindrance to my creativity. In fact, I would say it even aids in it. I find that I spend a lot of time making things perfect and obsessing over things (music for example). Gary's work is pretty solid evidence that even with a disability, regardless of how "high-functioning" it is, people can produce stunning work in whatever field they go into. God bless him for still performing and recording. More than I can say for some - yeah, some - of the newer artists, that's for sure. ❤

Kris Music
Same here :)

Trippy Cool. Love it.

I really like the visualizer
