Third Eye Blind 是一支摇滚乐队，于 1990 年代中期在加利福尼亚州旧金山成立。原始成员是 Stephan Jenkins（歌手、词曲作者、电吉他）、Kevin Cadogan（吉他）、Adrian Burley（鼓）和 Jason Slater（低音吉他）。乐队的原始阵容在乐队首张专辑发行前多次更换，在乐队第二张专辑 Blue 发行后不久又发生了变化——此时乐队的主吉他手凯文·卡多根 （Kevin Cadogan） 在仍然在粉丝中引起争议的情况下被释放。Third Eye Blind 目前的阵容是 Stephan Jenkins（主唱、电吉他）、Abe Millett（低音吉他）、Brad Hargreaves（鼓）和 Kryz Reid（电吉他）。最近，贝斯手 Arion Salazar 没有与乐队合作，他作为四重奏一员的未来尚不清楚。Leo Kremer 一直在音乐会期间填补 Salazar 的空缺，但目前尚不清楚他是否会成为全职成员。有一段时间，乐队还邀请了前 Smash Mouth 鼓手 Michael Urbano 和早期 Primus 鼓手 Tim ''Curveball'' Wright。

Third Eye Blind 于 1993 年录制了他们的第一个演示。1996 年，乐队为 Oasis 赢得了一场开场演出，在此之前，传说中，Third Eye Blind 被警告说，人群可能会向他们扔食物。然而，事实证明，即使在 Oasis 已经演出之后，他们还是被邀请出去再演一次，这让 Liam Gallagher 流下了眼泪，并引发了两个乐队之间形成的友好竞争。乐队的报酬是他们承诺的演出报酬的两倍。之后，乐队发现自己陷入了唱片公司之间的竞标战，他们选择了 Elektra，因为他们认为它提供了最大的艺术自由。斯蒂芬·詹金斯 （Stephan Jenkins） 在签署协议后直言不讳的行为为他赢得了许多评论家“音乐界最大的嘴巴”的称号。詹金斯曾多次公开反对几位不同的艺术家，包括与 Matchbox Twenty 乐队的罗伯·托马斯 （Rob Thomas） 的激烈争执。

第四张专辑，暂定名为 Ursa Major，于 2009 年 8 月发行。不久之后，乐队计划发行后续专辑 Ursa Minor。只剩下詹金斯的歌词和人声有待完成;据报道，所有器乐工作都已完成。最近的现场表演揭示了大部分正在制作的新曲目，包括“Don't Believe a Word”、“Lay Back （and the Water Will Hold You）”、“In the Skin”、“Summer Town”、“Second Born”、“”（You Really） Don't Like Me Now“又名”Campfire“、”Monotov's Private Opera“、”Break Me“、”Stevie Ray Vaughan“、”Red Star“和”Standing Up For You”。Fredianelli 在专辑中提到的其他曲目是“Away”、“A Sharp Knife”、“Captain of Emo”、“Swimming”和“Jesse 2k”。他还证实《Lay Back》已被废弃。许多以前未发行的录音可用，包括“Persephone”、“Carnival Barker”（器乐），以及许多被詹金斯拒绝包含在第四张专辑中的器乐会议。

歌词：

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies, that you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand

The angry boy, a bit too insane

Icing over a secret pain

You know you don't belong

You're the first to fight

You're way too loud

You're the flash of light on a burial shroud

I know something's wrong

Well, everyone I know has got a reason

To say put the past away

Wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand

And well, he's on the table

And he's gone to code

And I do not think anyone knows

What they are doing here

And your friends have left you

You've been dismissed

I never thought it would come to this

And I, I want you to know

Everyone's got to face down the demons

Maybe today we can put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies

That you've been living in and if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand, I would understand

I would understand

I would understand

Understand

Can you put the past away?

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

And I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

I would understand

I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend

And I would understand
