“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. “My baby lives in shades of blue / Blue eyes and jazz and attitude / He lives in California too / He drives a Chevy Malibu.” Lana details a blue, blue romance with a man who’s cool exterior only leads to an impenetrable icy heart. This feel good Euro- dance track builds up from a simple groove into chants of, “I was lost in those blue eyes.” Perfect for chilling on an beach in Mykonos, but your backyard will do. “Dark as the midnight hour, I’m bright as the mornin’ sun / Brown skinned, but your blue eyes tell me your mama can’t run.” Lamar’s poignant track from To Pimp A Butterfly tells stories of colorism and racism while proclaiming “Complexion don’t mean a thing.” “Complexion (A Zulu Love)” by Kendrick Lamar This country jam is so infectious, when the band harmonizes on ?”I see a dust trail following an old red Nova / Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder” it’s impossible not to sing out in agreement. “Baby’s got blue eyes like a deep blue sea / On a blue blue day.” Our list would be soulless if not for this signature 1982 Grammy-nominated piano ballad, complete with a cinematic ocean-side video on Sydney’s Bondi to Bronte coastal walk. “Oh, your heart is broken to your surprise / You’re sick of crying for blue eyes.” Mika said in an interview that the song is about a woman who loses her heart on the London subway system, and goes to the lost and found to retrieve it. “No one knows what it’s like to be the bad man, to be the sad man / Behind blue eyes.” The Who’s Pete Townshend reportedly wrote the lyrics from the point of view of a villain who just wants to be a good guy.
