Behind Blue Eyes - The Who (Wings of Pegasus Cover)

So for this months cover I'm having a go at Behind Blue Eyes. It's my own version, I've put a little solo in where the middle 8 was, just because I can't resist a solo! I hope you guys enjoy it!

I am 55 years old and I have literally listened to this song my whole life. I've loved this song from the first time I heard it. I've also heard many other bands cover the song and some of them did a good job, but your cover is by far the best I've heard. Great job.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Thanks!

I’m 64 and I totally agree with you ❣️

[@jean-charleslargot4895]

What you say, man! This wonderful song of the Who went flat like a pancake! Here, no vibe, no emotion in the guitar and neither in the voice! Sorry! ( ps: You are 59 (now) but I'm 65 and I probably listen this song 500 time more than you! )

[@davidleitch3199]

Fil, You are really, really good. The playing, singing and arranging was spot on. I hope you get some good breaks and opportunities in the future. Truly a great rendition of a classic song. I am finding so much good talent here on KZbin my hope for a resurgence of real music played by real musicians is alive and well. I will probably listen to this dozens and dozens of times.

Thanks David!

At last, I'm getting to hear the reviewer doing his own singing and playing....and it's great. Your voice is great, it's clear and pleasing and you're git good pitch. I like the kind of semi-jazz you did on the solo...on a Squier Tele, no less! Proof positive that the "British Guitarist" making all the comments knows his stuff. Good work, mate.

You totally nailed every aspects of this song Fil! Outstanding vocal performance and very well crafted guitar parts. I like that you play entry level instruments like Tanglewoods and Squiers!

[@jamesfarrell7578]

In my opinion: Your performance was solid. My take on your guitar playing ability is that you're not flashy, but competent, and pretty much right on. You're playing is not too fat, nor is it too lean. To my ears, there's no excess, and nothing is missing. Overall, I believe your vocals are your musical forte, however. Your rendition of the song was excellent. A studio quality version would surely eclipse the Who's version. As a fan, I'm looking forward to hearing your next performance. Thank you for entertaining me with this one.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Thanks James! I'm a lot more confident on the fret board than the vocal cords, but I practise a lot so thanks for the kind words!

Fil, I found your channel a few days ago & I binge watched all your cover. I am av 55:yo nurse who was raised listening to all this music. Most of my family are musically inclined. My uncle taught himself to play guitar, bass, & keyboard. I learned to play keyboards at age 6, just by listening to my uncle play his music all day long. I'm also a singer. I was drawn by your channel because it took me back to many memories, but most of all, your incredible talent of instrument playing, your voice & your analysation of the music. I love that because I can also learn in the process. So that's why I decided to become one of your many patreons. I look forward to everything to come on your channel. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@LoriannSmithsanpell]

"Townshend was going to use this as the main song in the 3rd rock opera, Lifehouse, for the villain, Jumbo. Pete Townshend has explained that he never behaved like a typical rock star when he was on tour, especially when it came to groupies, which he tried to avoid. He says it was a run-in with a groupie that was the impetus for this song. Townshend, who got married in 1968, was tempted by a groupie after The Who's June 9, 1970 concert in Denver. He says that he went back to his room alone and wrote a prayer beginning, "If my fist clenches, crack it open..." The prayer was more or less asking for help in resisting this temptation. The other words could be describing Townshend's self-pity and how hard it is to resist. He further explained that the lyrics are based on his own feeling of angst - that no one knows what it's like to be him, with high expectations and pressure to be someone he's not. Knowing what a miserable sod he can be, he's telling us not to let himself enjoy it because he doesn't want to enjoy making us (the fans) happy" Pete Townshend has a dark history, and while it fueled amazing songs, he said the lyrics he wrote also made him realize he needed therapy, which he received. No one can deny he is truly a talented singer, songwriter, and musician, and I sincerely hope he has made peace with his past.
