Fade to Grey V1 (Acapella)

by Parralox

/

about

Parralox has been commissioned to record a cover version of Fade to Grey for a forthcoming compilation, so you will need to wait for that to be released in order to hear our final version.

In the meantime, you can enjoy the acapella and wonder at what the final production will sound like!

Fade to Grey was originally recorded by UK Synthpop band Visage, way back in 1980.

The song was the band's most successful single. It entered the singles charts in late 1980, peaking at no. 8 in the UK Singles Chart and reaching no. 1 in Germany and Switzerland. Steve Strange was on lead vocals; the French lyrics were spoken by Rusty Egan's Belgian girlfriend Brigitte Arens

lyrics

Fade to Grey
Written by James Ure, Christopher John Payne and William Lee Currie.

Devenir gris
Devenir gris

Verse 1
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

Chorus
Aaah
We fade to grey (Fade to grey)
Aaah
We fade to grey (Fade to grey)

Verse 2
Un homme dans une gare isolée
Une valise à ses côtés
Deux yeux fixes et froids
Montre de la peur lorsqu'il
Se tourne pour se cacher

Chorus
Aaah
We fade to grey (Fade to grey)
Aaah
We fade to grey (Fade to grey)

Middle 8
Sent la pluie comme un été Anglais
Entends les notes d'une chanson lointaine
Sortant de derrière d'un poster
Espérant que la vie ne fut aussi longue

Chorus
Aaah
We fade to grey (Fade to grey)
Aaah
We fade to grey (Fade to grey)

Verse 3
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

Chorus
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)

Parralox Melbourne, Australia

If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation. ... more
