Recently, it has been brought to my attention that brown eyes are not the most neglected eye color in music. That dubious honor goes to hazel eyes. More than one of my hazel-eyed readers reminded me of that. I thought maybe I should attempt to write such a song, but I’m no songwriter.
Maybe, though, there already are such songs, they just haven’t gotten appropriate notice. Thanks to google, I’ve found a multitude of such songs. Well, no, I found two with hazel eyes in the title.
Kelly Clarkson’s “Behind These Hazel Eyes” is really good. I suspect she, too, was upset by the lack of representation for her hazel-eyed sisters.
Then, there’s the song, “Hazel Eyes,” by The Darkness.
I’d never heard of The Darkness, but thanks to “Hazel Eyes,” I’ve enjoyed listening to them this morning. According to Wikipedia, “The Darkness are a British rock band formed in Lowestoft, Suffolk, in 2000. The band consists of Justin Hawkins, his brother Dan Hawkins, Frankie Poullain and Rufus Tiger Taylor. The Darkness came to prominence with the release of their debut album, Permission to Land, in 2003.”
But there are songs that mention hazel eyes. Mark Wills, song “Because I Love You,” includes the following lyrics:
Additionally, In my search I stumbled onto Lyrics.com, a site that finds specific words in songs. It seems hazel eyes do get mentioned now and then!
Unsurprisingly, blue eyes get the most mentions.
Green eyes are a distant second:
With brown eyes in an even more distant third place.
Undoubtedly, hazel eyes don’t receive nearly enough attention, and yet, they’re lovely.
Peace, hazel-eyed people.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Thank you from a hazel-eyed reader.

I love hazel eyes, and as Claudette mentioned they have this mystical way of adapting to light changes.

Yay! We have 2 songs! I had forgotten about Kelly Clarkson’s song. Like you, I had never heard the song by The Darkness. Mine will turn green at certain times…no need to hash out when that is on here. LOL! 🙂

As a mousy-haired, hazel-eyed girl, I grew up feeling sort of a step below ordinary; but, now I see that I am extraordinary. Thank you, as always, for this enlightenment.
