Visage - Fade To Grey (cover versions)

"Fade to Grey" is the second single by the British new romantic/pop group Visage, released on Polydor Records in November 1980. The song was the band's most successful single. It became a huge dance floor hit and entered the singles charts in early 1981, peaking at #8 in the UK Singles Chart and reaching #1 in both Germany and Switzerland.

The song's structure was primarily composed by Billy Currie and Christopher Payne. While setting the track listing of the Visage album, Midge Ure composed the song's lyrics after Billy Currie suggested the use of the melody for the album. Steve Strange had singing lessons with Ure in order to maintain himself in tune and be recorded. Gary Numan commented in interview for the Numan Digest: "As far as I'm concerned Chris and Billy were the driving force behind writing 'Fade to Grey'. They used to work on it during the sound checks on my '79 tour. Cedric [Sharpley, who was the drummer of the Gary Numan's backing band] was also heavily involved. In those days it was called 'Toot City'".

On the UK Channel 4 show "Top Ten New Romantics" in 1999, Steve Strange claimed to have been the one who came up with the idea for the French vocal in the track (a statement disputed by Midge Ure who claims this idea was his). The French vocal was performed by Brigitte Arendt, a young student from Luxembourg who was Rusty Egan's girlfriend at the time.

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 isolee

Une valise a ses cote

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 ete Anglais

Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine

Sortant de derriere d'un poster

Esperant 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

Aah, 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

The Cars - Drive (cover versions)

who's gonna tell you when

it's too late

who's gonna tell you things

aren't so great

you can't go on

thinking nothing's wrong

who's gonna drive you home tonight

who's gonna pick you up

when you fall

who's gonna hang it up

when you call

who's gonna pay attention

to your dreams

who's gonna plug their ears

when you scream

you can't go on

thinking nothing's wrong

who's gonna drive you home tonight

who's gonna hold you down

when you shake

who's gonna come around

when you break

"Drive" is a 1984 song by The Cars, the third single from the band's Heartbeat City album and their biggest international hit. It was written by Ric Ocasek, and produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange and The Cars. Lead vocals were by Cars' bassist Benjamin Orr.
"Drive" was The Cars' highest charting single in the United States, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. On the Adult Contemporary chart, the song went all the way to #1. It also got to #5 in the UK singles chart, becoming their second biggest UK hit, then was re-released in the UK in 1985 (after the Live Aid performance at JFK Stadium), this time charting at #4. The song was also a big hit in what was West Germany, reaching #4, and in Canada, reaching #6. In addition, it was famously used as part of the Live Aid concert in 1985, as the background music to a montage of clips showing poverty-stricken Africa. Bob Geldof later claimed that phone calls to the appeal switchboards escalated dramatically during the song.

The music video for the song stars, besides Ocasek and Orr, Czech-born supermodel Paulina Porizkova, who later married Ocasek. The video was directed by actor Timothy Hutton.

A cover by the Australian band, The Paradise Motel (from "Flight Paths" album), appeared in the film "He Died with a Felafel in His Hand". In 2006 the Portuguese band (singing in English) Blind Zero featured this 80's classic, too. Scorpions present a live version of the song from "Acoustica" album. Finally, Drive was covered on the Double You album "We All Need Love." The compilation was put together for my own purposes :)

OMD - Flip...The Other Side Of OMD (1988)

Brytyjski, synth-popowy zespół Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, w skrócie nazywany OMD, powstał w 1979 roku w Wirral. Grupę, która wyrosła na gruzach formacji The Id, założyli Andy McCluskey (wokal, gitara basowa) i Paul Humphreys (instrumenty elektroniczne).

Pierwsze dwa albumy zespołu, "Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark" i "Organisation", ukazały się już 1980 roku. Szczyt popularności grupa osiągnęła w 1981 roku wraz z wydaniem krążka "Architecture & Morality", który zawierał przebojowe single "Joan of Arc" i "Maid of Orleans". Do 1988 roku ukazały się jeszcze cztery płyty ("Dazzle Ships", "Junk Culture", "Crush" i "The Pacific Age"), choć nie pozostały bez echa, to nie powtórzyły sukcesu "Architecture & Morality".

W roku 1988 zespół OMD rozpadł się, a właściwie powstały dwa zespoły. Humpreys, Cooper i Holmes odeszli do The Listening Pool, natomiast McCluskey zebrał nowych muzyków z Liverpoolu i kontynuował działalność pod szyldem OMD. Zanim nowe wcielenie grupy rozpadło się w 1996 roku, muzycy nagrali trzy albumy i wylansowali dwa przeboje - "Sailing on the Seven Seas" i "Pandora's Box".
