Midge Ure nasceu há setenta e um anos
James "Midge" Ure (Cambuslang, 10 October 1953) is a Scottish musician, singer-songwriter and record producer. His stage name, Midge, is a phonetic reversal of Jim, the diminutive form of his actual name. Ure enjoyed particular success in the 1970s and 1980s in bands including Slik, Thin Lizzy, Rich Kids and Visage, and as the second frontman of Ultravox. In 1984, he co-wrote and produced the charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?", which has sold 3.7 million copies in the UK. The song is the second-highest-selling single in UK chart history. Ure co-organised Band Aid, Live Aid and Live 8 with Bob Geldof. He acts as a trustee for the charity and also serves as an ambassador for Save the Children.
Ure is the producer and writer of several other synth-pop and new wave hit singles of the 1980s, including "Fade to Grey" (1980) by Visage and the Ultravox signature songs "Vienna" (1980) and "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" (1984). He achieved his first UK top 10 solo hit in 1982 with "No Regrets". In 1985, his solo debut studio album The Gift reached number two in the UK Albums Chart and yielded the UK Singles Chart number-one single "If I Was". He also co-wrote Phil Lynott's "Yellow Pearl", which served as the theme of Top of the Pops for much of the 1980s.

Vienna - Ultravox
We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on the window pain
Lying waiting
A man in the dark in the picture frame
So mystic and soulful.
A voice reaching out and a piercing cry
It stays with you until
The feeling is gone
only you and I
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna
The music is weaving
Haunting notes pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings a cold empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image is gone
only you and I
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna
This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna
