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.
3. Blaze, a Japanese hard rock band that first premiered in 1975.
The band consists of Ike (vocals), Shige (guitar), Nobu (keyboard), Sam (drums), & Jack (bass). The band is currently known by Yu-Gi-Oh! fans for their song "Fire" which was used as the closing theme for the Japanese release of the Yu-Gi-Oh! film Pyramid of Light.

Soundtrack of My Life
Blaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sound by which I live and die
The things I've seen I can't describe
This is the soundtrack of my life
Watching the movie of your life
You see things in a different light
You see mistakes and tragedies
You see the times when there were lies
Now it's yourself that you despise
And as you see the movie play
And as you hear the words you say
It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die
Trying to be true true to yourself
Surviving your own mental health
But pharmaceuticals today
Are not what you thought they'd be
Seeking your own oblivion
But you are not the only one
Join the queue and stand a line
If there's no victim there's no crime
It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die
It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die
This is my life
This is the soundtrack to my life
The sound by which I live and die
The things I've seen I can't describe
This is the soundtrack of my life
This is my life
"Soundtrack of My Life" by Blaze is a touching and introspective song about the impact that life's experiences can have on a person. The lyrics speak about how the events and moments in a person's life shape who they are, and how they internalize those experiences into their own personal soundtrack. The song touches on themes of self-reflection, mental health, and the pursuit of happiness.
The opening lines immediately set the tone for the rest of the song. The soundtrack of one's life is the sound by which they live and die; that is, the experiences and events that shape them serve as their personal "soundtrack". The second verse speaks to the idea that hindsight often brings a different perspective on one's life. Watching the movie of one's life brings attention to mistakes and tragedies. It challenges one to see past the facade of their own perceptions and to evaluate their own truths. The lyrics are powerful in their rawness and honesty, highlighting how the weight of life's experiences can influence one's outlook on themselves and the world around them.
The bridge of the song delves into the topics of mental health and substance abuse. The lyrics question whether or not modern medicine is living up to its promises and how some people may seek oblivion through pharmaceuticals. The idea of joining a queue and standing in line are indications that this isn't an uncommon practice. These lines provide context for the struggles that Blaze may have faced personally or witnessed in others. Ultimately, the refrain repeats the central theme of the song: this is the soundtrack to my life. It affirms that all one can do is claim their experiences as their own, embrace their personal truths, and live by their own "soundtrack".
