“From Inside tells the story of a young pregnant woman on a damaged train moving slowly through a post-apocalyptic landscape where floods, war, starvation and a plague of death threaten the train’s passengers.
Numan described the important challenge of the film was to create music ‘to establish the relentless power and motion of the train, the desolate landscape, the tragedy of what had happened.'” -Read more at Billboard.com.

From Inside was Numan’s first solo foray into writing for film. He explained, “With an album of rock songs you work in a verse/chorus type of format, with film you have no such limits. Although I’m very new to film composing to me it was a very welcome change, it was surprisingly liberating as a writer to not be tied to the ‘song’ approach to making music.”
