Behind Blue Eyes


"Behind Blue Eyes" by Limp Bizkit is originally in the key of E minor. The song is a cover of the original by The Who, released in 1971 as part of their album "Who's Next." Limp Bizkit, an American rock band, recorded their version for their album "Results May Vary," released in 2003. The song was composed by Pete Townshend of The Who. Limp Bizkit's rendition brings a more modern, alternative rock edge to the classic track, with Fred Durst's vocals adding a raw intensity to the emotional lyrics. The melody is characterized by its haunting guitar riff and powerful chorus, capturing the essence of the original while adding a contemporary twist.
