Brilliant performance of A BRILLIANT song that he wrote for 'VISAGE' who had a massive worldwide hit with it! He is an amazing multi instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, producer, etc etc and is very low key about his endless charity work! Saw him live this week 16/05/23 in Blackburn, Lancashire! He did not disappoint ! dx

Fade To Grey Lyrics One man on a lonely platform One case sitting by his side Two eyes staring cold and silent Shows fear as he turns to hide Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Feel the rain like an English summer Hear the notes from a distant song Stepping out from a back drop poster Wishing life wouldn't be so long (Devenir gris) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) (Devenir gris) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) (Devenir gris) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) (Devenir gris) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey) Songwriters: Ure James / Payne Christopher John / Currie William Fade to Grey lyrics © Mood Music Ltd., Hot Food Music Ltd.

Tough to comment here - Midge's guitar and voice as always, A1, as is his contribution to music. The 1981 synth version is subtle, fitting with the era, and a little more than nostalgically sustaining.

Steve Strange was never a singer, Midge had to work with him, there’s a lot of harmony work on the first 2 albums. A club host and fashion icon, yes, stupid, never! Midge didn’t want to lead another band at the time, after ending Rich Kids and touring with Thin Lizzy. It was Rusty Egan that had to push him into joining Ultravox, and a bloody good job he did too 😀
