This song uses the perceived coldness of blue eyes as a metaphor for the heartless role imposed upon the possessor of the particular pair presented in the piece, assuring us that ' No one knows what it's like /To be the bad man /To be the sad man /Behind blue eyes.' Crosby, Stills, & Nash notably sing harmonically of a much lovelier sounding 'Judy Blue Eyes' (the full name of the piece is 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes' to convey a suite of musical pieces combined), though the song itself makes no reference to the title eyes.įor a song with content more reflective of the title, songwriter Fred Rose wrote one in this genre for Roy Acuff, but it was Willie Nelson who made Rose's 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain' a hit. We'll mention some anyhow.īut for titles only partially composed of that eye color reference (and indeed entire songs addressing it), surely the pole must be topped by ' Behind Blue Eyes' by The Who. I'll save you the suspense by telling you now, songs simply titled 'Green Eyes' or 'Brown Eyes' are equally prodigious. The Elton John song simply titled 'Blue Eyes' is probably the best known of the dozen or more songs bearing that same simple two-word title. (If I'm missing something which really deserves to be mentioned, draw my attention and I'll hook it up.)

So many songs would fall into this category that it is instead a smattering of some of the more interesting such examples.

It can't even scratch the surface of complete. A singer who warbles of how he loves his lady's blue eyes may break the hearts of all the brown-eyed girls who can't help but know that this song isn't about them.

There are it turns out a great many songs referencing eye color in the song title - which raises perhaps a bit of suspense, a bit of a risk, for instantly there is a point of identification for those who share the eye color of interest. Judging by the number of memorable tunes expressely relating the fact of somebody or other having one eye color or another, this physical trait is, assuredly, of some importance to songwriters.
