The Who - Behind Blue Eyes (With Lyrics)

[jkh635600]

year written?

[1000Demons]

This is a truly great song. The 90s ruined music. The 00s and after continued a losing tradition.

Please, people. Come back to what makes sense. Stop trying to mass-market bullshit as good music, where the marketing is more important than the music itself.

This song ROCKS!

[AliceinNirvana27]

@1000Demons the 90s didnt ruin music at all..well the rock aspect of it didnt haha the rap, and rnb is to blame for this generation. even though i hate saying that but the 90s deserves respect you know?

[jpotter333]

this song reminds me of Kurt Cobain. truly amazing song 

[cinemashai]

what a wonderful music! thank you.



[91rostatbrod]

82 people do not know what music is

[mike3667]

Music never dies, the tastes of the people just changes. It's always happened and it always will happen. There will always be staunch defenders of all generations of music of claim theirs was the best. Music is music, fucking get over what other people like. Honestly, who cares if some twat gets rich and famous over some autotuned crap. Just smoke a bowl, relax and enjoy whatever you like. Fucking Christ.

[waterules101]

@mike3667 Only one bowl? Why?!? I'd like 4 or 5. :) And a couple of shots. That's a good, relaxing time.

[roflawlolmao]

@mike3667 Wow, a sensible person on youtube. Been a while since I've seen one of those.

[Tttribe1]

Hi I'm 17 years old and I'm starting to get pissed to the "I'm 11 years old and apologize for my generation's music" comments. Lil John, Justin Bieber and what others there are, dont even care, should be the ones to apologize since they make the shitty music.

[VinylToVideo]

There'll never be another band like The Who!

[schmokem]

my favorite song

[ravenrene68]

i love that you see intelligence as important as it actually is. for the record, i am academically published and a teacher for high risk children/teens in our school districts intervention program. you are correct, communication is very important and i agree, more important than being "a cool kid". however, may i point out that we are on youtube where it is customary to discuss the video or tune or both. again, its fucking youtube. chill out!

[MaRcOut3]

hi im 15yrs old and im here to apologize what my generation has done to music , that's all bye

[sk8ns4life]

@MaRcOut3

Hi, I'm here to apologize that, apparently, previous generations of teachers aren't able to teach you stupid fucking kids grammar or sentence structure. That is all,

[AntarcticAnt]

@sk8ns4life

Hi, I'm 16 and I'm here to apologize for my generation being too lazy to spell right and apparently lack the standard intellect to make correct sentences.

That is all.

[ravenrene68]

@AntarcticAnt omg! its fucking youtube...not a thesis for college! geesh! lighten up and enjoy the tunes!!

[AntarcticAnt]

@ravenrene68 Oh, I'm sorry, language is just how we are able to communicate in the end, I'm sorry, I forgot how that's not important.

[ravenrene68]

@sk8ns4life that was kind of rude...he was just making a point and being a cool kid. probably should encourage the youth, not be a compete ass.

[sk8ns4life]

@ravenrene68

I believe intelligence is more important than being "a cool kid" or what music he likes.

[BreakawaySalmon]

@sk8ns4life Hi, I'm 19, this is a good song, and you're a fucking douche bag. That is all.

[sk8ns4life]

@BreakawaySalmon

Problem?

[BreakawaySalmon]

@sk8ns4life I could ask the same?

[ultrashnotebel]

@MaRcOut3 your generation had done awesome music like green day,coldplay and snow patrols,so you are all excused ^^

[MaRcOut3]

@ultrashnotebel sadly justin bieber and rebecca etc are way more known than that awesome bands :x

[321noctus]

WTF ... some stupid people try to believe in themselfs

[1Joshrustownage]

this song makes me feel good while im feeling like shit

[blackdragonthebad]

The solo is so fucking LEGENDARY!

[123enadiotria]

I was born in the wrong time.

[venom19980]

I first heard this song in music class. HELLZ YAH!!!!! XD

[MrPunkmoon]

No one knows what it´s like to be the Batman oh yeah! The Who, one of the greatest bands ever.

[fr3ds4t]

Ahhhh...when Brits used to Rock...

[moonsfog001]

@fr3ds4t They indie rock now XD

[redoowsworld]

@fr3ds4t We still do.

[NagisaFTW]

great song, but i didn't like that cut at the end...

[UpTheSnakes]

This song is fucking awesome!!!! Just like Stairway To Heaven

[wandersoncapoeira]

Legal ...

[Lexichu]

Although The Who is amazing I'm gonna have to go with Limp Bizkit's version. >w<;

[dr0ckisadmac]

Kaiba....

[dudewuttheheck]

people are way to obsessed with Led Zeppelin these days. Sure they were talented, but they don't even come close to Pete Townshend's song and lyric writing genius.

[kollenberg74]

Epic

[GuiltCanFillOceans]

No one knows what it's like to be the batman.

Did anyone else hear that? :p

[TheSinfulOath]

@GuiltCanFillOceans The first thing that came up to my mind as well. xD

[2joo4u]

[sk8jon2]

[MissLollypop996]

This would like totally fit to doctor House ^^

[iannyrockwell]

To me this song best describe Villain with sympathy...

[howwdoyousleep]

This song is about Bob Dylan.

[panthers7775]

the original is always the best no matter what anyone HAS to SAY !

[JohnHenryBonham1948]

on of the best bands on earth..!!The Who!!

[TheOverjudgement]

That is not the video I would use.

[helmielisa]

rock on räjähtävä riemu



[Phaellos]

@helmielisa On kyllä

[Nandasimplicio]

Isso é que é rock de verdade , simplesmente amoo <3

[keenanS177]

[crossandknots]

[possumking36]

The Who rocks!!! Especially this song!!!!

[shakaazinn]

fuck the pop music

[2791cyko]

i can sing this song better than the who

[idotehhealz]

@2791cyko ok

[warbob1991]

I see that "The WHO" have better voices, i know that they wrote their song ... but Limp Bizkit's cover gives me the sadder feeling so I prefer that.And just for the record - I do have a taste for music.I don't like bands, I don't like compositors, I like ART.Some songs are good, some are not.I like SOME Pink Floyd songs, I like SOME classic music, I like SOME rock/hard-rock music.You people are conservative (my oppinion).Like/hate the ART not the band.

[nickdr350]

@warbob1991 Limp Cockshit couldn't lick the sweat from Keith Moon's balls

[DazedConfused1969]

@warbob1991 And we give a shit because....

[Afereth]

@warbob1991 tits or get the fuck out

[michaelpiper2]

@warbob1991 We are conservative, we have a CONSERVATIVE led government. And your views are far to liberal for us, go away.

[23SPQR]

i have blue eyes....and i'm sad:))

[Wavedude21101]

love the song though :)

[Wavedude21101]

Forever Alone theme?

[blackout15243]

i learning this on guitar.

[Doddlebop4]

@blackout15243 Bass for me :)

[blackout15243]

@Doddlebop4 nice

[DiazdelVivar]

everybody has the right to be completely wrong! and to like Limp Bzqt more than THE WHO (the best version, the original version, the ones who composed this song) THE WHO is far far far superior than L.B but if you want to be wrong cause media washed your brain already with crap music year after year, I feel sorry for you cause you can't feel music, and you miss great songs and bands like this. all i can wish for you is that you evolve some day, and that day you'll discover a new fantastic world

[feircefeir]

i like both versions, just noticed a dubstep remix on the side, gonna check it out lol.

[snoogan55]

This is my theme song

[Audi2000t]

79 people dont appreciate real music

[analiadobb]

agh!... me gustaba esta canción por limp, ahora no voy a poder volver a disfrutarla después de escuchar la original U.U

[blackdragonthebad]

@analiadobb YEAH I KNOW!!! WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND SHIT OF WHAT YOU'RE TYPING!

[analiadobb]

@blackdragonthebad Learn spanish dumbass

[blackdragonthebad]

@analiadobb Are YOU telling ME to LEARN SPANISH!? While YOU'RE the one who should learn THE ART OF ENGLISH! SO STOP YOUR "me gusta" humping ass is so horny fucking Europe, that you don't have ANYTHING else to do EXCEPT FUCKING Europe! Leave GOOD OL' AMERICA ALONE!

[jermejo]

@blackdragonthebad you should know that the who are from europe asshole

[blackdragonthebad]

@jermejo Yeah, so?

[jermejo]

@blackdragonthebad so dont say stupid things, and shut the fuck up

[blackdragonthebad]

@jermejo You're stupid. Silly buns. 

[Icejunkie91]

I first heard this on an old episode of Cold Case and I couldn't get it out of my head ever since! Love it!

[linachao5]

it's beautiful, thanks for uploading...

[KillstealingPrick]

Hears this... *Yao Ming face* ... Fuck Limp Bizkit lol!

[hjalmarBuoi]

@KillstealingPrick lol idd

[cron1077]

Hey man whats with the fuck you's? Haha chill out for real its only youtube..

[im2cool4this]

@cron1077 hahaha i love this comment

[alexandro444ever]

who cares just enjoy the music and the song.

[bucky468]

No wonder why the punk movement from the UK hate Fred Durst & Limp Bizkit so much. I'm serious - Sex Pistols & Clash fans are way more in tune w/the Who than they are Limp Bizdick. Limp's not well liked in the UK.

[candycommander]

@bucky468

Even americans hate Limp Bizkit so it should be no surprise. Only teenager wanna be thugs like Durst.

[whtisurproblem]

@candycommander

well im a teen and its not because I wanna be a badass like fred. its cuz the who's voice kinda shit. limp bizkit is a really cool voice.

[skateboardjumps]

@whtisurproblem The Who is just older and they never fixed their voice to sound good like Limp Bizkit does

[whtisurproblem]

@skateboardjumps

still at live limp bizkit sounds better

[skateboardjumps]

@whtisurproblem i don't think so personally but that's just my opinion

[xBritishkidx]

@skateboardjumps Woah, this kid just said that the guy from Limp Bizkit could sing better than Roger Daltrey, to the gallows with him! Especially cause the guy from Limp Bizkit cant sing

[skateboardjumps]

@xBritishkidx what? i don't even remember what i said and i don't feel like looking for my comment lol

[prishvik]

/watch?v=K5GiMfIyI6I

[1320viper]

limp bizkit does it better

[bucky468]

@1320viper Are you serious? You probably like Glee & American Idol too.

[1320viper]

@bucky468 wtf limp bizkit is a rock/rap band....glee = pop 'n' omg the who = pop

[bucky468]

@bucky468 The Who are 100% rock. Even Robert Plant has said in the past that there'd be no Zeppelin if not for the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Yardbirds & Who. The Who paved the way for several rock bands including those from today. This is the original "Behind Blue Eyes" - released in 1971. Bizkit's version came out in 2004. AFAIC Bizkit ruined this song. Nothing beats the original imo.

[juan13579run]

@1320viper fuck you

[1320viper]

@juan13579run fuck you

[idontknowwhatnicktou]

fuck, I KNEW this piece of trash durst couldn't create such a good thing himself

[xevanescencex4evax]

@idontknowwhatnicktou thats what i was thinking

[AguynamedmeILIAS6]

Some people prefer The Who's original version (including me) and some people like Limp's cover better. So why don't you just stop all the judging and listen to what you like without talking shit about someone's taste in music?

P.S. Sorry if I have made any mistakes. Sometimes it ain't easy to express what you mean using a foreign language.

[jroberts24]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 both are great in my opinion :)

[gabbyvickers8975]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 looks fine 2 me.

[lando0092]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 Firstly, you said it right, and second, English is sadly never foreign anymore lol, we're instilling our beliefs, cultures and languages on the whole world. It's causing a few problems.... :/

[paarsefrikandel]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 Dude, most of the time the people that know English as a second language are at least a lot better at spelling or at least take the little trouble to spell check.

You're doing better than a lot of people with English as their native language

to be honest I had never heard the Who's version before Limp covered it and I Really liked it a lot

it was used in a book's storyline so i looked it up here, and I love the last part the one limp didn't do, i wonder how it would've sound

[MetalGearEH]

@AguynamedmeILIAS6 I am sorry but anyone who thinks limp bizkit's, or whatever his name is, version is better then the who's well they simply do not know anything about music. they are the same retarded people who would compare garbage like lincoln park to the like of iron maiden.

The who are one of the greatest rock bands of all time. limp bizkit never has or will compare to them.

[cutiepiecr]

@9HEMY : does that make you feel better about yourself ?

[highblink]

Who the fuck is Limp Bizkit?

[Serioussam728]

@highblink is a great singer

[SubZeroMG4u]

@Serioussam728 limp bizkit its a BAND not a singer lol

[Serioussam728]

@Serioussam728 lol?

[TommyBassman1983]

[RamsdenB]

No one knows what its like, to be the batman.

[SubZeroMG4u]

@RamsdenB its bad man nub not batman

[RamsdenB]

@SubZeroMG4u I said that on purpose noob lol

[regiergal]

@RamsdenB except batman



[Aluriadna]

@RamsdenB no one knows what it's like to be the batman, to be the sandman

[balduccirichard]

@RamsdenB To be the sandman...

[Ozzmaster2112]

Best song by The Who.

[screnplay]

[MissMelissaCory]

[mandelcorny]

[prdusoes2d]

[szavisic]

[hvaskaljeghaher]

This is really good.. But personally i prefer the Limp Bizkit cover.. It's just me, and everybody is allowed their own opinions! :p

[showdoggy9]

@hvaskaljeghaher I Agree!!! Limp Bizkit Are Better, But I Still Like This Version!!! xxxxxx

[kosificationable]

[PoorMarvoloSawyer]

[Daemonbones]

[ryangrabigel]

lovein life in the GHETTO HOOO HOOO

[almogS104]

when i was young i knew the limp bizkit version of this song and i diden't knew tha who's song (the original) and now it's the first time that i listen to this song by the who and i got to say that, THE WHO ARE DOING IT WAY BETTER THEN THAT GUY AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE RADIO PUTS LIMP'S COVER MORE THEN THIS.

[squidster29yay]

This is strange, but this is the only song where I don't like Roger's singing as much because of the phony wannabe black accent and the growling which are too aggressive for the song. Which is why I prefer Limp Bizkit's version. It's weird for me to say, but it's true.

[rockandrollmcdonalds]

@squidster29yay ur fucked up to say that, limp bizkit sucks compared to the who

[dannyboy3107]

@squidster29yay your a fucking asshole i might kill you tonight Roger was amazing in all songs i think everyone agrees and would gladly lickhis balls

[KarimBoctorAwad]

@dannyboy3107 come on, we're all intitled to our own opinion. you can't call people assholes and morons for expressing their thoughts. even i disagree with his comment, but if he liks limp biskt or whatever its called, then that's his decission. chill dude.

[rh086654]

This should be my theme song!

[jakkree2029]

So this is the classic I know this song 'cause Giles sing this song In Buffy the Vampire slayer season 4.

[JunoMacguff2012]

whoa... this is a Who song? I had no idea... I thought it was Limp Bizkit's... Now I know... :P

[pandion1951]

[duncanlover25]

[juan13579run]

[JonasCullenDawson]

@duncanlover25 ikr this one is shit - Limp Bizkit is epic

[Justaglimmer]

@JonasCullenDawson Limp Bizkit... is nothing, just a bad joke.

[apb431]

@duncanlover25 hey assfuck if ya wanna talk about how awsome limp bizkit is then post ur shit on their version of the song ya dont have to act like a little punk just to piss people off and say shit about the original creators who write the lyrics to this song from their life experience.

[duncanlover25]

@apb431 listen here asswipe im able to post my opinions thats what youtube put comments for douche

[420Woltar]

@apb431 Ya, but but you know you need to shutup bro.. Your gift IS blindness-Deep illusions of perpetual time-created concious energy as polar chaos. Synchronize intent and learn, never tell people when wrong..Its better to let them go to learn alone.. Since, we are THE one, divine soul.. Just a "god" needin experience of itself subjectively as to evolve infintely & eternal...wen mastering your illusion ur weak knowledge-as a fact-created your ego. Now trapped negative perceptions=Jus find love!

[69HEMY]

@duncanlover25 then leave nigger

[lsvtecintegra420]

@duncanlover25 your a fuckin idiot

[MetallerMet]

@duncanlover25 HAHAHAH, die, bitch.
