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 ↴
Living alongside your world never within
Some times there are moments when I think I am involved
But I never seem to stay, don't seem to fit
I just don't belong
I live at right angles to the people that I meet
Because I am never still, not my soul and not my feet
My life seems worthless, just like footprints on the shore
Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel
Living on the outside, ruled by the hunger
From the first taste of this altered truth
I knew I could not live the way that others do
Nothing can seem to fill the emptiness inside
So still I search, never ever wait for the time or the tide
Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel
Living on the outside, a wound that cannot heal
Living on the outside, the emptiness I feel
Living on the outside, ruled by the hunger
All of the blood, all of the wine
Will become the same in time
Nothing can seem to fill the emptiness inside
So still I search, never wait for the time or the tide
I am on the outside, always looking in
Living alongside your world, never within
The lyrics of Blaze's song "Hunger" convey a deep sense of isolation and alienation from the world around the singer. The first verse talks about how the singer always feels like an outsider, never really fitting in with those around them. Despite feeling involved in certain moments, they never seem to stay or truly belong. This feeling of disconnection is reinforced in the second verse, where the singer talks about living at "right angles" to the people they meet, as if they're on a different plane of existence. They seem to be in constant motion, never still, and their life appears to lack meaning, like footprints on the shore that are quickly washed away.
The chorus provides a more direct insight into the singer's mindset, stating that they're "living on the outside" and being ruled by "the hunger." This hunger is likely a metaphor for their desire to connect with others and to find meaning in their life. However, even "the first taste of this altered truth" - whatever that may be - didn't provide the solution they were looking for. They confirm that "nothing can seem to fill the emptiness inside" and that they will continue to search, never waiting for the time or tide to bring them what they need.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hunger" are a poignant expression of feeling disconnected from the world and struggling to find one's place. The sense of isolation and yearning for meaning is likely relatable to many people, and the song is a powerful reminder that everyone has moments where they feel lost and alone.
