On November 10th, 1980, VISAGE released the single, FADE TO GREY.
FADE TO GREY was synth-pop at its most emotive, most cinematic; its art-house pretentiousness assisted by lyrics that alternated between English by Strange and French by Brigitte Arens and an unmistakable synth riff.
Written by Billy Currie, Chris Payne and Midge Ure, the seductive package gave the song its rightful place in the electro-pop pantheon.
The song remains a compelling and enduring creation: perhaps the perfect iteration of Eighties synth pop, fusing narcissistic melancholy with the android tones of analogue synths and the hypnotic beat of the drum machine.

The seductive package gave the song its rightful place in the electro-pop pantheon. Moreover, the promo video made the powdered face, eyeliner and spiky hair-sprayed coiffure of the New Romantic style familiar beyond the confines of the Blitz Club, to Top of the Pops viewers across the length and breadth of the country.

Devenir gris
Devenir gris
One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Show fear as he turns to hide
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise a ses cotés
Des yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Aaah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derriere d'un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue
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 shop 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)
