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 ↴
I don't think I'll be missed
That call could signal danger that I might still be alive
I thought that I had died
Do you think the doctor lied?
The doctor said it's not my fault
I've been told I'm not to blame
Where there should be a brain
I'm an interesting case
Just like one that he once saw
About a man who doesn't know
He is really just a thought
The doctor said I've got a hollow head hollow head!
The doctor said I should go home
And try to find my own safe place
That's not something I can face
Where all my feelings are my own
And everything is just ok
That's not for me
I'm really ill you see
The world is spinning round too fast
The sky is pushing down to hard
Everybody feeling scared
That they won't get the part
The extraordinary thing
Is that we are all the same
When we think we're all alone
We all feel so ashamed
The doctor said I've got a hollow head hollow head!
The doctor said it's not my fault
I've been told I'm not to blame
There is just an empty space
Where there should be a brain
I'm an interesting case
Just like one that he once saw
About a man who doesn't know
He is really just a thought
The doctor said I've got a hollow head hollow head!
The doctor said I've got a hollow head hollow head!

The singer also questions their own thoughts and the validity of their own perception, suggesting they may not even have a brain. The lyrics are reflective of the confusion, fear, and uncertainty that can come with mental illness.
The song also touches on the idea that mental illness is often misunderstood by those who do not suffer from it. The doctor in the song suggests that the singer is not to blame for their condition, yet it is clear that the singer feels as though they are somehow responsible for their own suffering. The song also alludes to the notion that there is a stigma surrounding mental illness, as the singer feels ashamed and alone in their struggle.
Overall, "Hollow Head" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that sheds light on the struggles of those who suffer from mental illness. Its lyrics are a testament to the importance of empathy, understanding, and compassion in our approach to mental health.
