Francis Anthony "Eg" White (born 22 November 1966) is a British musician, songwriter and producer. White is primarily known for his work with successful commercial pop acts such as Adele, Florence and the Machine, Tom Odell, Sam Smith, Will Young, James Morrison, Pink, Joss Stone, Maverick Sabre and Rebecca Ferguson.
Eg White started his career in the band Yip Yip Coyote and then formed Brother Beyond with his own brother, David White, in the late 1980s, leaving the latter when they became involved with the songwriting team of Stock, Aitken and Waterman, just prior to their chart successes.
In 1990, Eg White collaborated with London model and BMX champion Alice Temple to record the critically acclaimed pop album 24 Years of Hunger, which was released in 1991 under the name Eg and Alice and failed to chart. Lack of commercial success did not deter the taste-makers, however, and 24 Years of Hunger was described by Allmusic as "one of the finest, most refined and fully realized recordings of the era, employing a much more sophisticated and romantic style than anything else out of England at the time".
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my heart, love is blindness.
I'm in a parked car, on a crowded street
And I see my love made complete.
The thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness.
Love is clockworks and is cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel.
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
Blindness (blindness)
Love is blindness, I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.
A little death without mourning
No call, no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense.
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets, and nobody else to tell.
Take the money, why don't honey?
Blindness.
Love is blindness, I'm so sick, I don't want to see
Won't you just take the night, wrap it all around me?
Oh, my love,
Blindness.
Love is blindness
I'm too numb to feel
Blow out the candles
