    I'm not good at figuring out song meanings but this song made me cry often because my brother and I were raised by an alcoholic single Mother. Through sports I was able to connect with our Father if he ever came around. But my brother Mike wasn't able to connect at all. He was left out on an island all alone. In turn he started to get in trouble as a young teen, ran away from home a couple times and ended up in children's homes. But we loved The Who TOGETHER. It was special. I have brown eyes, his eyes are blue. And I'm crying as I type this. Wow.

    No one knows what it's like
    To be the bad man, to be the sad man
    Behind blue eyes
    No one knows what it's like
    To be hated, to be fated
    To telling only lies
    But my dreams, they aren't as empty
    As my conscience seems to be
    I have hours, only lonely
    My love is vengeance that's never free
    No one knows what it's like
    To feel these feelings like I do
    And I blame you
    No one bites back as hard
    On their anger, none of my pain and woe
    Can show through
    But my dreams, they aren't as empty
    As my conscience seems to be
    I have hours, only lonely
    My love is vengeance that's never free
    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
    And if I swallow anything evil
    Put your finger down my throat
    And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
    Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
    No one knows what it's like
    To be the bad man, to be the sad man
    Behind blue eyes

    Another killer song by the Who, Keith Moon really did add a lot to these songs. When viewed by each element comprising the song, they’re sparse and perhaps even simple sounding but when combined it’s rather complex, great composing production engineering and mastered. Just a f’ing awesome song

    • @1oolabob
      @1oolabob Рік тому +8

      The thing to notice here is that known wild man Keith Moon reserved his drumming for the rocking part of the song. Roger Daltrey kept the growl (mostly) out of his voice for the verses. The Who was well known for rowdy hard rocking, and in this song the tension created by calm and pretty verses was felt by every rocker who heard it. That's suspense, and frankly, great musicianship.

    • @robjordan9438

So , that tape stayed on continuous play. for the trip to and from the show. It never got old.

    I discovered this song in a cereal box as a kid. For some reason, the cereal company included a Who single in the box. "Who's Next" became my favorite Who album. This song explains the first forty years of my life - the legacy of being a bullied and unpopular kid. "My love is vengeance" explains most of my unsuccessful pre-forty relationships. I am old now and have made peace with my upbringing and past experiences. Yet this video takes me right back. Thank you for posting.

    Very clever editing of Jeff Stein concert footage from the 1978 Kilburn concert, with the 1971 studio recording. Townshend, Entwistle & Moon are quite drunk. Entwistle didn't remember doing the gig. "I was pissed out of me brain," he said. When The Who did the Kilburn gig, they hadn't played together for a bit over a year. Kudos to Glyn Johns's' production on Who's Next (the first Who studio album where Moonie got a decent drum sound).

    I went to see the Who at Manchester Belle Vue in the winter of 1975 (I think). I remember the huge excitement I felt. Afterwards I couldn't get back to Bradford Uni so tried to sleep on a park bench, but it was sooo cold. At about 4 am I found an all-night café. Each tea did last an hour, and I did wander home alone - but happy. Years later I taught Roger Daltrey's son Jamie - nice lad, good family - very kind. Mum - Heather (I think). I was particularly obsessed with Quadrophenia - when I was 18 my schoolfriends organised a surprise party and gave me the double album. I was always too shy to ask Roger to sign my album for me. Such a shame. These were HUGE experiences... . I also taught Orlando Bloom - also a very nice lad.. but that's another story.
