Blondie is an American rock band co-founded
by singer Debbie Harry and
guitarist Chris Stein. The
band was a pioneer in the American new wave scene of the mid-1970s in New York. Their first two albums contained
strong elements of these genres, and although highly successful in the United
Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the
United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next five years, the band achieved several hit
singles including "Heart of
Glass", "Call Me",
"Atomic",
"The Tide Is High",
and “Rapture”.
The band became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles, incorporating
elements of disco, pop, reggae, and early rap music.
Blondie disbanded after the release of it’s
sixth studio album, The Hunter,
in 1982. Debbie Harry continued to pursue a solo career with varied results
after taking a few years off to care for partner Chris Stein,
who was diagnosed with pemphigus, a rare autoimmune disease
of the skin. The band re-formed in 1997, achieving renewed success and a number
one single in the United Kingdom with "Maria"
in 1999, exactly 20 years after their first UK Nº 1 single ("Heart of
Glass").
The group toured and performed throughout the
world during the following years, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame in 2006. Blondie has sold around 40
million records worldwide and is still active. The band's eleventh studio
album, Pollinator,
was released on May 5, 2017.
Parallel Lines is the third studio album by
American rock band Blondie,
released on September 23, 1978, by Chrysalis Records to international commercial success. The album reached Nº 1 in the
United Kingdom in February 1979 and proved to be the band's commercial
breakthrough in the United States, where it reached Nº 6 in April 1979. In Billboard
magazine, Parallel Lines was listed at Nº 9 in the top pop albums year-end
chart of 1979. The
album spawned several successful singles, notably the international hit "Heart of Glass".
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing, but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you. it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
La, da, da, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la, la
La, da, da, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
