The name of the song, Blue in Green, suggests that it's about sadness interpreted through another
modality-sound, which seems like a likely scenario, because if you've listened to the song it's

thank you for your comments. they are very intelligent, and intriguing. i agree with much of what you say as well -- regarding this song, but in general also. i like music that is evocative, without so blantantly spelling out what it's saying. and, often, people seem to have these ideas about what they are listening to -- that it's a "love song" or a "break-up song" or a "sad song" (you get the picture), but i tend to...
