“Grey Blue Eyes” came from Dave Matthews’ 2003 solo album Some Devil, a moody collection of material deemed unfit for DMB. Released on the band’s self titled 1969 album, “Linger on your pale blue eyes” is about being in love with a married woman.įrom Springsteen’s 2014 EP American Beauty, this dark song about blue eyes is really a political metaphor. “Pale Blue Eyes” by The Velvet Underground “I’m not used to losing / Bye, bye, sugar blue eyes / You’re home with the angels / Thank you for being so kind.” Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo told Genius the song is about loss, and reminiscing about what it feels like to spend summer without someone. “In the twilight glow I see them, blue eyes cryin’ in the rain / When we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we’d never meet again.” The sad ballad took a bare, unfiltered approach on Nelson’s take of the country classic, earning him his first Grammy for best country vocal performance. “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” by Willie Nelson “No light, no light in your bright blue eyes / I never knew daylight could be so violent.” Florence’s rich, haunting vocals soar on this Ceremonials track as she screams out for a lost love.
“No Light, No Light” by Florence and the Machine “She’s got eyes of the bluest skies as if they thought of rain / I hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain.” The iconic rock jam got a classic reboot in Step Brothers, during the famous sing-along scene. This song about blue eyes from 1988 commemorates Jenifer Straight, George’s daughter who was killed at age 13 two years before the song was released. “And baby blue was the color of her eyes / Baby blue like the Colorado skies / Like a breath of spring, she came and left / And I still don’t know why / So here’s to you and whoever holds my baby blue tonight.”

The classic 1969 prelude to their imminent breakup was all the more heartbreaking on lyrics like “This does not mean I don’t love you / I do, that’s forever.” “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” by Crosby, Stills & NashĬrosby, Stills & Nash debuted this song at Woodstock, written by Steven Stills to his girlfriend at the time, singer Judy Collins.
