Coming from an AVID DMB listener and HIGE fan I assure you this song is about Leroi. At least in Daves mind writing it.

But Dave also believes in the autonomy of music in that it is up to the listener to decide what it means to him/her, so in that sense you still have tour credibility.

No Jimmithing, you're wrong. Dave doesn't write simple ditties that rhyme for the sake of rhyming. This is probably why he doesn't take the time to justify the lyrical content of his songs. One might ask why he's describing a kiss from a family memember that knocks him off his feet? "Blue" is clearly a methaphor and not meant to describe his sister's eye colour. Read Toni Morrison's "Bluest Eye" and you may see how this song directly relates to the ill fate of his friend, LeRoi.

No. Guys this is most definitely about his sister Anne. For one like JimithingDMB said Leroi does not have blues. And For another Dave's sister Anne does. Im only 14 and I know this. Duh! its common sense. Why would he write a song saying "Goodbye My Love" to Leroi??? I mean seriously i know they were close but they werent that close. and "Blue Blue eyes" is referring to the color of her eyes. Its not a metaphor.
