‘Behind Blue Eyes’ — The Who
The Who released “Behind Blue Eyes” in 1971. An incident at a concert allegedly inspired it. Pete Townshend was allegedly tempted by one of the groupies the year before! He resisted temptation and went back to his hotel room to write a prayer. “When my fist clenches, crack it open,” the line began. That line is included in the song. It was included on the band’s fifth studio album, “Who’s Next.”
