Sobre el álbum
El álbum "Love Is Blind", de 1992, es un capítulo interesante en la discografía de Limahl, ya que fue un trabajo lanzado principalmente para los mercados de Alemania y Japón, donde el artista mantenía una sólida base de seguidores. Por esta razón, el disco adapta su sonido a las tendencias del pop de principios de los 90, con una clara influencia del Eurodance y el pop más comercial.
En primer lugar, el sonido del álbum deja atrás el synth-pop de los 80 para abrazar ritmos más bailables y una producción más directa. De hecho, la canción que da título al disco, "Love Is Blind", es un tema de pop-dance enérgico y con un estribillo muy pegadizo. Por consiguiente, el trabajo buscaba conectar con el sonido que triunfaba en las pistas de baile europeas de la época.
Además, el álbum fue producido en Alemania, lo que explica su orientación sonora. Así pues, Limahl demuestra su capacidad para adaptarse a nuevos estilos y para seguir creando música pop de calidad, aunque fuera para un público más específico. Mientras tanto, su voz seguía siendo el principal atractivo, adaptándose con soltura a estos nuevos ritmos.
En definitiva, "Love Is Blind" es un testimonio de la carrera internacional de Limahl más allá del mercado anglosajón. Es un disco que, aunque es poco conocido para muchos, muestra a un artista que supo encontrar su nicho y seguir evolucionando con los tiempos.

Letra
Love is blind Blind is love I've played the fool Too long now for you Take a last look at my face Yes, I've found someone to take your place Goodbye lover Lover goodbye Love is blind When you're torn between the truth and lies Love is blind And the truth is staring you right in the eye (Love is blind) Love is blind By the rules we are bound And they say what goes, comes around There's no loss without gain And I've learned my lessons through the pain Goodbye lover Lover goodbye Goodbye lover Lover goodbye Love is blind When you're torn between the truth and lies Love is blind And the truth is staring you right in the eye (Love is blind) Love is blind Lover goodbye Lover goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Love is blind When you're torn between the truth and lies Love is blind And the truth is staring you right in the eye (Love is blind) Love is blind Love is blind Love is blind - So Far So Good4:06
Letra
It only seems like yesterday She walked out on me with nothing to say I spent my nights out on the town Just living in the fast lane running around But you have shown me Something stronger than before baby [Chorus:] So far so good Shot through the heart without a trace of blood So far so good A victim of love without a single scar You caught my eye looking at you I was checking you out playing it cool You hypnotized me couldn't resist I was carried away by the taste of your kiss I sense the danger But I'm willing to it a try baby [Repeat chorus to fade] - Stop4:05

Once again this love affair Has got me losing sleep Cause you and I are going nowhere You've got me hanging on a string Every time I say I'm leaving You're telling me I have no feeling I'm gonna give you one more chance Then I'm heading for the door [Chorus:] You better stop Messing around with my heart You better stop Before you tear us apart You better stop Messing around with my heart Before you tear love apart You must change your attitude If I decide to stay Tell me where's the love we entered into Where is the love we used to make I cannot go on pretending The misery is never ending I'm gonna give you one more chance Then I'm showing you the door You better stop Messing around with my heart You better stop Before you tear us apart You better stop Messing around with my heart Before you tear love apart [Spoken:] Remember it's better to have loved and lost Then never loved at all [Chorus] You better stop Messing around with my heart You better stop Before you tear us apart You better stop Messing around with my heart Before you tear love apart - Too Shy'924:07

Letra
You whispered you love me You played the role so perfectly I trusted you and like a fool Believed every word you said was true Another heartache another mistake One more experience But I have learned to forgive and forget No regrets, cause [Chorus:] Life must go on Even though you've gone Life must go on I guess what's done is done Life must go on Cause even though you're gone Life must go on Baby we were the best The epitome of happiness But the autumn leaves have fallen down And the king has lost his golden crown Another heartache another goodbye Another shattered dream I'll put it down to a lesson of love I believe that [Chorus] Yes I will survive And there'll be someone else It's just a matter of time [Repeat chorus 'til fade] - Maybe This Time4:31

How many times do we have to fight Again? (This time We will learn our lesson well) Every time we argue You know it hurts me to the core Shouting will solve nothing We've got to try and keep control How many times do we have to say We're sorry? Maybe this time We will learn our lesson well This time We can put it to the test Maybe this time Wo oh this time we'll learn our lesson (Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!) (Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!) Every couple I know Seem to have their ups and downs So it's really not a problem We've got to simply work it out How many times do we have to fight Again? Maybe this time We will learn our lesson well This time We can put it to the test Maybe this time Wo oh this time we'll learn our lesson well Oh baby Wipe those tears from your eyes Cause it's killing me Killing me to see you cry (Maybe this time) (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) How many times do we have to say, yeah We're sorry? Maybe this time (this time) We will learn our lesson well Maybe this time (this time) (We can put it to the test) I've got a feeling it's this time (Maybe this time) Maybe this time (This time) (We will learn our lesson well) This time (This time) (We can put it to the test) Oh this time (Maybe this time) This time (This time) We will learn our lesson well - Cheatin3:48

You've been crying I see it in your eyes This fire inside our hearts It's tearing us apart But do we have to say goodbye [Chorus:] Stay with me Baby please There'll be ups and downs But will work them all out Stay with me We talked it over Said all there is to say I know the truth we hide Behind this foolish pride Must we throw it all away [Chorus:] Stay with me Baby please There'll be ups and downs But we'll work them all out You got to stay with me I'll get down on my knees The thought of loosing you Is breaking me in two Maybe it's not too late Baby you know We learn by our mistake [Repeat Chorus] - Someone Else4:29
Letra
I have to torn my heart in two Though I live with her I'm here with you And you my love are spoken for But the tenderness between us Has brought you here once more But you know [Chorus:] To someone else we both belong We carry on though we know it's wrong With someone else we both should be But neither one us can turn and leave No-one knows we feel this way At the office where we work each day Playing love like hide and seek But here is no choice we've got to be Totally discreet Because [Chorus] And oh how easy We can be led astray In just one single moment The world will stop and you'll never be the same [Repeat chorus 'til fade]
