Answer 3

in the back of Blue Eyes has my vote for quantity one, yet Blue Orchid is a devilishly catchy music. I actual have on no account heard Blue in the previous, although. Earth (extremely Black Sabbath in the previous the call substitute) has a ideal version of Blue Suede footwear that i like). Statesboro Blues by using Allman Brothers Band is yet another that comes directly to suggestions.

Answer 5

Answer 6

"Behind Blue Eyes" is a song written by Pete Townshend of The Who for his Lifehouse project. It first appeared on The Who's 1971 Who's Next album, along with a number of other outtakes from the project. Originally conceived in 1971, the project took until 1999 to achieve realization. The BBC, in December 1999, broadcast the Lifehouse radio play adaptation.

The song is one of the most well-known of The Who's recordings. It starts off with a solo voice singing over a finger-picked guitar, later adds in bass guitar and ethereal harmonies, eventually breaks out into full-scale rock anthem when a second theme is introduced near the end, and wraps up by a brief reprise of the quieter first theme. Songs written in alternating sections were something of a trademark of Townshend's writing of the period, going back at least to Tommy, where it was used in "Christmas" and "Go to the Mirror!" The guitar riff at the end of the rock anthem section is also used after the bridge during the song Won't Get Fooled Again, perhaps serving as a link between the two songs when Who's Next was intended to be a rock opera. (Some musical themes from Tommy and Quadrophenia appear in multiple places.)

The lyrics are a first-person lament from a man in the Lifehouse story, variously identified as 'Brick' or 'Jumbo', who is always angry and full of angst because of all the pressure and temptation that surrounds him, and the song was intended to be his "theme song" had the project been successful. (The lyrics of the rocking section near the end were actually written by Townshend as a prayer when he was a disciple of Meher Baba after being tempted by a groupie, and incorporated into the song when it was written.)

The version of "Behind Blue Eyes" on the original Who's Next album was actually the second version the band recorded; the earlier version appears as a bonus track on the remastered CD release, which features Al Kooper on Hammond Organ.

Cover versions

"Behind Blue Eyes" has been covered by Limp Bizkit, Bryan Adams, Sheryl Crow, Testudo, Ian Stuart Donaldson, Jon English, Ken McLellan, Suzanne Vega, Silvertide, The Chieftains, Vanessa Petruo, Dunlavy's A Cappella Quintet and Paul Wheeler & Andy Waller @ Raffles Singapore.
Country/Western musician Unknown Hinson covered the song "Behind Blue Eyes" under the name "Behind Black Eyes," changing certain lines of the song to fit his profile.
The band Limp Bizkit covered this song for their album Results May Vary and for the movie Gothika. The band added new lyrics and omitted the final stanza of the original song.
The intro to the song was sung by Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode from Season 4, "Where the Wild Things Are".
Though not a cover, lead singer Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam (reportedly influenced by The Who [citation needed]), wrote a song at a young age titled "Better Man," which bears quite a bit of similarity to Behind Blue Eyes. The song was eventually released on their third album Vitalogy, and has become one of Pearl Jam's greatest hits. The construction is similar in that it is a ballad in two parts: a soft, melodic beginning, driven by finger-picking and gentle but powerful vocals, and then breaking out into a much harder, faster part about 2 minutes in, which eventually turns into a guitar jam that completes the song.
Rapper Noreaga also recorded a song entitled "Bad Mad" (featuring Beanie Sigel) that uses a sample of the chorus of the song.
Most recently, Dilana performed her cover of "Behind Blue Eyes" on Rockstar: Supernova.
