Behind Blue Eyes - The Who (Janet Devlin Cover)

I was recently in A&B Studios recording a string arrangement so couldn’t miss an opportunity to record a version of this rock anthem. Although I love the Limp Bizkit version, I am still blown away by this track written by The Who, one of my all-time favourite bands. There’s such a depth and backstory to this song, I just love it.

Thank you so much for watching; if you enjoy it please share it, sharing is caring!

Wow. Well done. Even though I have brown eyes, I suddenly realize that "blue" is not referring to color but to sadness.
This is the best version of this I have ever heard ... and it stopped me in my tracks.

Quite an unknown fact - my dad actually was the man 'Behind Blue Eyes'!!
The Who came to Brighton many years ago and stayed with my dad and his housemate, who was their 'minder'. They started writing it there and then having met my dad - ex-military, lost his family and was trying to build his life again from scratch as a bouncer. He still has the most piercing blue eyes, and incredible tales and stories. <3 He's my hero.

i have been around long enough to know the WHO version and later on the LIMP BIZKIT version, the original was good and the remake was a good modern version but you nailed it, never change your style, that accent of yours makes it so unique and in my opinion its the best version ever, keep up the good work...

Amazing voice. So many "artists" today feel like they have to do all of the vocal acrobatics and show off their voice. Finally, someone who actually SINGS a song the way it is written and still makes it her own! Absolutely beautiful!

[wickedrippah]

dosn't matter how many times i hear you sing a song or even what song it is....your voice gives me goosebumps every single time....just amazing.

Would love to hear her sing REMs "Everybody Hurts "

[joewyble]

the simplicity of her voice is what makes it so special

[Musicman]

The Who are smiling at Janet, the wonderful presentation.🎹🎶🎹🎶🎹🎶⚘

Love Janets voice! Adorable and talented.

[AndNewww]

I love how your accent comes out in your songs. 99% if the time when people sing their accent is hidden. Definitely one of the best covers I’ve ever heard! Keep up the good work Janet!!!

[TheTURKISHDELIGHT]

You still give me goose bumps with every song, even 6 years later from the first time I heard your voice

[drakawinkle]

This song always reminds me of my oldest son. He connected to this song to show me how he felt years ago. I haven't spoken to him in 7 years. You did a great job expressing the loneliness, the harshness, the despair. And yes he does have blue eyes.

[Kenzie]

45 years later and it is still an awesome melody.

[Nyanaas]

Janet, your voice and your eyes are mesmerizing.
please continue to sing from the heart as you do

[BB-hiof]

Janet, you never get old. Love your voice.

This girl does not need any reality show....SHE IS ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING....THAT VOICE HAD MY SKIN CRAWLING ...BEAUTIFUL TONE

[blindspotspotter.]

Jesus! How rare is it that a cover blows away an original?
Just beautiful. Makes me feel warm inside.

[davidcornell]

I felt like I heard and understood that song for the first time even though I've heard it hundreds of times. Wonderful!

[kennethcarvalho]

One of my all time favorite songs and you understood every word so well.

[dennisweifenbach]

As I listen, I feel a whole new meaning to this song.  Janet has the ability to do this to many of the songs she sings.
