"I Go Blind" was written and composed by Neil Osborne, Philip Comparelli, Brad Merritt, and Darryl Neudorf of the Canadian rock band 5440.

The song enjoyed success not only once but twice: the first time as recorded and released by the band in 1986, and the second time a decade later when a cover by Hootie & The Blowfish unexpectedly became a Billboard Top 5 hit.

"I Go Blind" was performed by 5440 at the legendary El Mocambo in Toronto, as part of the song's induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
