Blondfire is an American indie pop band from Los Angeles, California, United States. Lead singer Erica Driscoll is the sole full-time member.
Erica Driscoll was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States to an American father and a Brazilian mother. She spent many summers in northern Brazil, and is a citizen of both countries. Erica and her brother and founding member Bruce Driscoll cite Antonio Carlos Jobim, Caetano Veloso, and Astrud Gilberto as musicians that they listened to often while growing up. In high school, Erica, Bruce, and their older sister Monica formed the band Nectar and eschewed classes to tour nationally.
Erica and Bruce formed Astaire and toured locally behind songs recorded in the basement of their parents' home. During this time, the siblings were featured in many music and fashion publications, such as z!nk, America, YRB, College Music Journal, and Entertainment Weekly. The Driscolls relocated to New York City and recorded "Weightless" with Ivy's Andy Chase. They released their first EP, Don't Whisper Lies, on their own record label, Wax Divine.
Oh baby,
My baby,
You've got this power over me,
Not easy,
Believing,
I thought I knew you,
I thought I knew you,
Only wanna walk with you,
Forget the one I thought I knew,
Only wanna look at you,
Through the eyes of a stranger,
You say you want a second chance,
How can I forget the past,
Only when I look at you,
Through the eyes of a stranger,
Well maybe,
I'm crazy,
The ghost of us is haunting me,
Still missing,
Your kissing,
I'll send it back again to you,
Back to you,
Only wanna walk with you,
Forget the one I thought I knew,
Only wanna look at you,
Through the eyes of a stranger,
You say you want a second chance,
How can I forget the past,
Only when I look at you,
Through the eyes of a stranger,
Through the eyes,
Through the eyes,
Stranger things can happen,
I know it isn't right,
But I think of you tonight,
Feel it deep inside,
I can't look at you through a stranger's eyes,
Only wanna walk with you,
Forget the one I thought I knew,
Only wanna look at you,
Through the eyes of a stranger,
You say you want a second chance,
How can I forget the past,
Only when I look at you,
Through the eyes of a stranger,
