"Behind Blue Eyes" is a song by The Who, written by Pete Townshend and released on their 1971 album Who's Next. It’s a haunting, introspective track about suppressed emotions, inner turmoil, and the struggle to maintain a facade. The song alternates between soft, melancholic verses and a powerful, raw chorus, showcasing Roger Daltrey’s emotive vocals and Townshend’s lyrical depth. It was originally intended for the band’s abandoned Lifehouse project, a sci-fi rock opera, where it was meant to be sung by a villainous character reflecting on their pain.

The song was released as a single in November 1971, reaching #34 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s one of The Who’s most enduring tracks, covered notably by Limp Bizkit in 2003. The lyrics, like “No one knows what it’s like to be the bad man, to be the sad man,” capture a universal sense of isolation.
