The song 'green eyes' was inspired by and written for exactly whom?

Featured Replies

every one of us know that Chris wrote that song very intense

and its such a beautiful song.

But i read that its about an ex-girlfriend!

 

can't believe it and at the same time i can't deny it!

 

but i am just looking for some information which

i think that i can believe!

 

Because some user on youtube said that Chris wrote

the song but not for his ex-girlfriend or someone like that!

but for jonny!

 

even some others denied that!

 

so i just wanna come out of this confused state in which i am know.:\

the information of where it is

i read somewhere that was for chris's dog... or something like that... dunno if its true or not... :thinking:

I read kinda the same as you, Pallavi.

 

And, finally, as he said that "meeting Jonny was like falling in love", it's not that stunning that he'd have write this song for Jonny.

I guess you're right, but it does sound odd, though o_O

It might sound odd, yeah.

 

I guess everyone noticed the way they're friends, I mean, the way they're really close to each other, they seem to be siblings, sometimes.

 

Chris never really gave us where the inspiration came from, did he?

Once he said it was about an ex-gf...

then he said it was about Jonny...

 

Well, I guess anyone, who listens to the song, will find the reason which fits the most. It simply depends on the person.

 

No matter for who it was written, this song is simply beautiful.

TRUE!!!....anyway I also wrote somewhere that he wrote the song for jonny!:rolleyes:

I thought he just said it was about a dog so people didn't ask questions about ex-girlfriends etc.

About dog? "Honey you are rock"? dont think so.... :)

Totally, beautiful words, I think the same

Chris himself has said (last year or two years ago, maybe?) that the song was written for two people, and that one of them was Jonny.

right...the other one is me!!!:D

i'd like to think its about a girl because its so beautiful, and not saying i don't love dogs, because i do, but if it was writtin about a dog i think it would lose meaning

in the official biography, this is what chris said about the song green eyes :

 

"it's about an american friend of mine who looked after me when i was being a bit of an idiot. i met this friend in new mexico, i was out there to see a dave matthews concert and im glad i went to that concert and im glad i met her."

 

it is about a girl.

yes exactly i read it that he said he wrote that song about a girl that (we met in america) and then he corrects it by saying here "we means i" he said it laughing,when jonny asked him 'the royal we?'

 

first of all i read this in hot and coldplay's reviews for a rush of blood to the head album before it was released in 2002 an exclusive interview with jonny and chris.

 

then after that i heard when i commented about this on youtube that some user denied me saying that chris said afterwards that he wrote the song for jonny and i said he may be hiding something there but it's great,

 

because after reading all the news above i can't believe it.but some other user recently said that it's all ironic.

 

then i decided that i must make a thread here and discuss about this topic to just clear my confusion.

yeah, i saw that interview too

maybe he originally wrote it for a girl, but then on this interview he said that to say sth funny, you know how he gets when he talks about personal stuff :laugh3: But to me, he could have written it for Jonny as well, they're very close, and in my opinion the lyrics doesn't emply it's about gf/bf love...though it could be that too! :laugh3:
