"Goin' Blind" Kiss-aurreko "Little Lady" izeneko abesti baten bertsio berlandua da, non letrak gizon zahar eta neska gazte baten arteko erlazio bati buruz hitz egiten duen: "And I know how it should be/There is nothing more for you and I/Some are young and some are free/But I think I'm goin' blind" (Badakit nola izan beharko litzateke/Ez dago zuretzako eta niretzako baino gauza handiagorik/Batzuk gazteak eta askeak dira/Baina itsutzen noala pentsatzen dut). Nahiz eta letra horreek gero umore-kutsu bat izango zuten, "93 urte ditut, zuk 16", sentimendu orokorra erromantizismo madarikatua da.

Kiss' recording of "Goin' Blind" is mournful yet heavy: Gene Simmons unleashes the lyrics with an anguished howl over a sludgy backing driven by guitar riffs heavy enough for a Black Sabbath record and half-speed drumming. Ace Frehley tops the song off with one of his finest guitar solos, a searing blast of quicksilver riffing that perfectly capture the song's pained mood in instrumental form. "Goin' Blind" was never issued as a single but quickly became a favorite with Kiss fans and has been faithfully covered by such bands as Dramarama and Dinosaur Jr.
