Brilliant song ,top group from a fantastic era, we had the style and the music such a wounderful time to be a teenager !

[BlackSkyThunder]

A genius! This sound really can take to other places, just with a look in your face, you can understand the meaning of this original sound... it´s a shame that this kind of music will never be back.. the paranoid and introspective 80´s.... best lyrics in history

mon morceaux préféré de Visage ! Si steve strange pouvait arrêter de se montrer en live et chanter en direct "fade to grey".... ça casse le mythe .....

@Jarren202 Those were the 80’s, you could create a masterpiece just with a look in your face or while you were sitting opposite the audience; only with hearing this melody you could go to other worlds… Nowadays there must be no sense in making this but those were other times, times for lyrics, arts and creation…

[Jarren202]

@BlackSkyThunder Oh please don't get me wrong, I absolutely love all the early 80's new romantic scene. Not just for the music, but for the aesthetics too.

Usually I love Visage's visuals. The promo videos for Fade To Grey, Mind Of A Toy, The Damned Don't Cry etc. are wonderful and evocative period statements.

But this, this was just people sitting at a table.

@Jarren202 That was art, pretentious or not. This melody could take you to other places while you hear it. It is clear that nowadays there is no sense in making this interpretation but those were the 80’s, a time for art, lyrics, paranoia and introspection… This times will never be back

[Jarren202]

The song deserved a better performance than that. That was just pretentious.

I remember this tv performance.May 1982 and the show it was transmitted by Forio of Ischia, a tourist place in the island of Ischia but the New Romantic movement mole was already ended...

@BlackSkyThunder I couldn't have said it any better about the era.
