I scoured the Org to see if this had come up before and it did way back in 2005. Always kinda reminded me of Blue Monday.

Great song and video.

Were we talking about it in 2005 because Kellie Osbourne covered it?

I love this song. It is one I discovered in middle school so it really gets me

I remember digging this song so much when it first came out that I waited for the CD (and bought the Cd single). It's still great. BTW, the song was written by Linda Perry and no, there was no credit to Visage even though it obviously borrows from it!

I can see the similarities, but to me "Fade To Grey" sounds atmospheric and 4AD-ish while "Blue Monday" is more of a dance song.

Always loved "Fade To Grey".

I thought it had something to do with the octave-jumping bassline
