Love is Blind
Annie Lennox · Songs Of Mass Destruction [2007]
When ya gonna come?
I spend my life gettin older
But you still got me on the run
When ya gonna come?
Oh. . sweetness
When will you mine?
I spend my days getting' colder
But I still want you all the time
Oh the grass is growin greener
On the other side
Nothing else has meaning
When I got you on my mind
I so wanna see you
Don't they say that love is blind?
Oh love is blind
Love is blind
I got so much trouble gettin into this
Can't decide if its hell or bliss
Sometimes I feel like I dont exist
Cut my veins and slit my wrists
Goodbye
Goodbye
That's all she wrote
As she tied that knot around her throat
Wipe my eyes
Dry my tears
Wait for you for a thousand years
Oh lover
Make me yours again
Even though your thrill is gone
All my fellins still remain
Even though your thrill is gone
I'm gonna love you just the same
Can't you see that i'm addicted
To the notion of a someone
Who could take me from this wretched state
Save me from the bitterness and hatred of humanity
Its so screwed up
Tired of bein' down on luck
Tired of bein' beaten up
Tired of bein' so screwed up
Tired of all this desperation
Tired of all this mad frustration
Tired of all the aggravation
Sick and tired of devastation
Give it some consideration
Love Is Blind
Annie Lennox delivers a hauntingly atmospheric track on her 2007 album *Songs Of Mass Destruction*, blending her signature ethereal vocals with a brooding, post-rock-adjacent soundscape. The recording exemplifies her ability to craft introspective, emotionally resonant music that transcends typical pop structures, often drawing upon the dramatic intensity found in her earlier work with Eurythmics while establishing a more mature, solitary artistic voice. With its minimalist instrumentation and Lennox's distinctive, soaring delivery, the song stands as a testament to her commitment to creating evocative, cinematic soundscapes that prioritize mood and texture over conventional songwriting formulas. It remains a defining piece of her discography, showcasing her versatility as a vocalist capable of navigating complex emotional territories with precision and power.
