1. For the heavy metal band started by the former Iron Maiden singer, see Blaze Bayley. Blaze (sometimes written as B L A Z E for disambiguation) was the former name of Bayley's solo project until 2007.
2. Blaze (New Jersey, USA), a house production team from 1984 onwards.
It was formed by Josh Milan, Kevin Hedge, and Chris Herbert, when Herbert introduced Milan, a member of his church choir, to Hedge, his childhood friend. Ironically, Herbert was the one who left the group in 1991, leaving Milan and Hedge to keep working together.
The group's output consists mainly of house-music tracks with heavy gospel, soul and afrobeat influences (sometimes referred to as gospel house). When the group started, Herbert was the singer, with Milan playing the piano, and Hedge on production. After Herbert left, both Hedge and Milan started to share production duties, vocals, and playing most of the instruments of the group's tracks and albums. The group achieved notoriety with its remix of Lisa Stansfield's "People Hold On" in 1989, after signing with the Motown/MCA Records.
Blaze released its debut album, 25 Years Later, in 1990, after which Herbert decided to move to a more R&B-oriented career, while the two remaining members invested in the emerging club culture, opening a nightclub called Shelter. In 1994, the group scored its first big international production success with De'Lacy's "Hideaway," which was later remixed by Deep Dish.
Since then, Blaze released three more albums, alongside a few scattered compilations of earlier productions and works and countless singles. The group also began working with other well-known names such as "Little" Louie Vega, Barbara Tucker, Jody Watley, and Full Intention. It is best known to modern audiences by its singles featuring Palmer Brown on vocals, the oft-remixed "My Beat," and the tribute anthem "I Remember House." Blaze's most recent album, released in 2005, is a mix compilation title called Found Love.

Blaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below.
You hurt and abused telling all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby I don't know where you've been,
Every day I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby but you push me away.
Don't know where you're going only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby I want you again.
Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby let them say what they will.
(Did your) tongue wag so much when I sent you the bill?
The lyrics of Blaze's song "Dazed and Confused" paint the picture of a man who has been lost and confused for a long time, and has been searching for love but has only found pain and betrayal. He feels that he never intended to find the woman he is involved with, but somehow she pushed herself into his life. He is constantly working hard to provide for her, but she pushes him away and does not reciprocate his love.
The lyrics also seem to imply that the woman in question is a liar and a manipulator. She is able to hypnotize and deceive people, but the singer is aware of her true nature. Despite all the pain she has caused him, he cannot help but love her and wants to be with her again.
The last few lines of the song also suggest that the singer has some resentment towards the woman, as he questions whether she talks so much when he sends her the bill.
Overall, the song portrays a complicated relationship filled with love, pain, and confusion.
