Background

"Behind Blue Eyes" originated after a Tommy Tour concert in Denver, on 9 June, 1970.^[5] Following the performance, Townshend became tempted by a female groupie, but he instead went back to his room alone, possibly as a result of the teachings of his spiritual leader, Meher Baba.^[6] Upon reaching his room, he began writing a prayer, the first words being "When my fist clenches, crack it open ..." These words later appeared as lyrics in the "climactic rocking section" limp bizkit behind blue eyes lyrics MAH
