Reviews
The opening bass guitar riff of "I Must Have Been Blind" seems to be taken from Curtis Mayfield's classic "People Get Ready." This may not have just been a coincidence, even though Buckley's folk-jazz fusion is quite different than Mayfield's pioneering soul songs. Buckley does effect a certain soulfulness in both his lyrics and vocal. Like many of his songs of the period, this one has a romantic, sensual lyric, and it flows effortlessly from start to finish. Some subtle, psychedelic percussion flourishes fill out the recording to great effect on this fabulous, confessional song.

Lyrix
Here I am believin' words again
Here I am tryin' to find your love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Prayin' for a love that we used to know
Both of us know how hard it is
To love and let it go
Both of us know how hard it is
To go on living that way
When so few understand what it means
To fall in love
And so few know how hard it is
To live without it
Lord, I must have been blind
Oh, I must have been blind
Lord, I must have been blind
Ah, to hold something real And not believe it
To live in her life And never trust it
To give all you know and never feel it
And hold back each day Until it dies away
Both of us know how hard it is
To love and let it go
And both of us know how hard it is
To go on living that way
And so few understand what it means
to fall in love
And so few know how hard it is
to live without it
Lord, I must have been blind … |
