About the Artist

Gary Hubber is an Australian Pop Rock artist, based in Melbourne, whose music is a captivating fusion of timeless melodies and contemporary lyricism. Drawing inspiration from the nostalgic vibes of 60's Rock and Roll and the raw authenticity of Southern Roots Rock, his compositions take listeners on a journey through time, evoking a sense of familiarity while presenting a fresh perspective. Some songs start with a big question. This one starts with a simple statement: people are strange. Not as a complaint. Not as a warning. Just as a fact. The song looks around at the world — at habits, cultures, personalities, contradictions — and decides that the oddness isn’t something to iron out. It’s something to let breathe. The verses move through the idea lightly, almost conversationally, until the bridges suggest a quiet solution: spend time with a stranger, walk in someone else’s shoes, and the edges begin to soften. “People Are Strange” doesn’t try to solve division with grand declarations. It takes the smaller, steadier route. Let people fly untamed. Let them remain wonderfully themselves. Recognise that the same strangeness you notice in others lives in you too. By the time the song closes, the phrase has shifted meaning. Strange no longer sounds like distance. It sounds like shared humanity.
