"Visions in Blue" is a song that was too bold for television. The track, by Ultravox, was the third single from the album Quartet (1982), recorded at AIR Studios in Montserrat and released on Chrysalis Records on 11 March 1983. It peaked at number 15 in the UK charts.

The song's music video was banned by the BBC and MTV due to brief nudity, and an edited version was later provided for broadcast on Top of the Pops. It is a synth-pop song that runs 4:13 in its single edit and 4:38 on the album.

The lyrics are full of the kind of dreamy imagery that makes the best synth-pop work. The narrator talks about a face in the window, caught for a second by the light, and about ashes of memories still aglow. It is a song about memory, and it is delivered with a vocal performance that is both cool and emotional.

What stays with me is how the song's controversy overshadowed its beauty. It is a song that was too bold for its time, and that boldness is part of what makes it memorable.
