"I Go Blind" is a song by Canadian alternative rock group 54-40. The song was released in Canada as the second single from the band's 1986 self-titled album, 54-40. It has since become one of the band's most popular songs.

Hootie & the Blowfish cover[edit]

The song was recorded by American band Hootie & the Blowfish and originally released as a b-side on the band's "Hold My Hand" single. The cover was later released on the soundtrack of the TV series Friends. The cover became a radio hit in 1996, peaking at No. 2 on the Adult Top 40 chart and at No. 22 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. The Hootie version also charted on Canada's RPM Singles Chart, peaking at No. 13.[1]

The song was featured on the band's compilation albums Scattered, Smothered and Covered (2000) and The Best of Hootie & the Blowfish: 1993–2003 (2003).
