But i would have to say I think the cover by Limp bizkit (Fred Durst)is so much better than any other. Ok you die hard Who fans will come back and say I don't know what I'm talking about but take out you ear plugs and just listen the the feeling which Durst puts in to the song and I'm sure you will find you like it. Ok it may be an age thing going on here but i heard the who sing this but in the late 1970's so it's not like i prefer the Bizkit cover because I heard it 1st. So please take another listen to the Durst Cover and be honest with you self and your comments Thanks Zampa meaning | Reviewer: believe | 12/25/2007 I think what the song really meant to Townshend, who wrote it, is how he felt at that time in the band. He was relied upon to write and produce the entire creative aspect of the band's. During the time, he was often alone and felt as if the rest of the band hadn't understood him and just expected him to create the next smash. He became somewhat aloof and perhaps bitter that he was the driving force and unappreciated. And that that he was gay and couldn't come out of the closet, pole smoke. No one bites back as hard on their anger. | Reviewer: AAN | 12/15/2007 True, this song can have many different meanings for many people. I've heard it many times, but now, almost every word has meaning to me. I'm very honest and here it is. The truth is my wife was having an affair, we 'HAD Everything', I was husabnd #3. She charged me with sexual assault, because I masturbated on her pillow while she slept in the spare bedroom, I never touched her ever(she's hit me and treated me like dirt, she was told this also by our bible study group ladies). I have my reasons and there's a lot more to the story. Why do I feel so strongly about this song. Well, she was raped 3 times previously, before I met her, once by her brother and another time by a guy, who dumped her in the Bow river, and left for dead(she knew him), and by her baby sitters Son. She was also sexually abused by her father, made to walk around naked and eat dinner that way, he would shave her privates, calling her dirty... The truth, She NEVER charged anyone one of them for those crimes to this day... I feel like a victim... ok back to the song. I feel, nobody knows what its like to be the bad man, to be hated, I have hours(months) of loneliness. My Love now is vengence, no one knows what it's like to feel these feelings, and I blame her, I bite back on my pain and anger(im still on probation) My dreams ARE empty, my conscience clear... When my fist clenches, crack it open,before I use it and lose my cool, when I smile, tell me some bad news, before I laugh and act like a fool... Im very down and depressed with the whole situation(and being robbed of my stuff, 9mm bullets, holster, quick loaders), because I was not allowed to go back to the house after being charged. The cops took all my guns, because she said, she was afraid, and I threatened to kill her(LIE)... I have HER on tape, threatening to kill me, ranting furiously, because I would'nt agree to a 70-30% split. I have all my guns back now, because of all the letter written and given to he judge, by my friends who really know me. I shiver now and am cold and lonely, almost broke, hoping one day to find someone again to keep me warm... I know WHAT I did was'nt nice(The cop said he whould have beat her instead). What about those other guys, what did they do to her and she let them off free?????? There's my side, im sure she will cry a river and write 10 times more, as always. Yes!... I'm a man behind Blue eyes too. Hours only lonely | Reviewer: Mandy muse | 12/12/2007 My boyfriend died three weeks ago, this song is such a stirring song that tells me exactly what i feel. hours only lonely. Too young to know | Reviewer: W K V B | 11/17/2007 This is an incredible piece of music written by a musician of extremely gifted ability. The lyrics clearly, as previous comments prove, have a different meaning to everyone. With this being said I think the general idea as already stated is the theme of Unrequited Love. To hold something so dear and close to you and to have your feelings disregarded and kicked to the side. It's funny how the idea of anger links in with the lyrics main themes of love though. What do I think? That this piece of music is just music. What makes this music matter is the experiences that we go through and what me do to make these different moments better. Pete Townsend knew this when he wrote it, he knew that people would be able to paint there own pictures with this incredibly powerful song. He just gave them the paints to create with. But what am I saying? I'm far to young to know... We are not alone | Reviewer: Branko | 10/16/2007 These words touch the deepest in humanity. In my case - divorce after 18 years - by a woman who cheated and loved her career more than her family or me. She was the only one who was not a victim, but the only one the courts see as a victim. Three generations on both sides of the family completely torn apart by one womans selfishness. And unfortunately for me - I am the intersection of generations - but there is no calm in this eye of the storm - only deep turbulence and an unending path of destruction. my son | Reviewer: Jan | 10/12/2007 I have a son who has been through much distress through his later teenage years. When I hear this song I think of him and feel the words in my heart as he may have felt at the time of his sorrow and what he went through. I sit here and read the song and cry and pray he can heal from his sadness. He too has beautiful blue eyes......................... A word of advice | Reviewer: an empathetic guy | 9/22/2007 First of all I love this song because of its music not its meaning. If you have diverse references of music, you wouldn't be to depressed. Listen to different types of music (up tempo, whatever uplifting). You'd probably feel a whole lot better. I hope it helps. Hey, it's just a suggestion. Comments about "Behind Blue Eyes" by the WHO | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/25/2007 This IS a great classic song. The cool thing about a song like this, is that it can mean different things to different people. However, I wonder if Pete was describing how it felt to gay and not be able to come out of the closet. Just a thought. D.G./Atl. Love this song, hate limp Dickheads version | Reviewer: Slash | 8/22/2007 I love the who, have done since I was young. One of the first albums I bought was Who's Next which featured this song. Got really angry when the Limp DickHeads did a cover and replaced the best part of the song with some crappy Synthesised self indulgent garbage. More power to the Who :-) Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5
