📝 Song Meaning & Summary
"Brown Eyed Girl" is a nostalgic and upbeat song about young love, carefree days, and romantic memories. It paints vivid scenes of youth—skipping school, making love in the green grass, and listening to the radio. It’s often interpreted as a fond recollection of a first serious romantic relationship.
🎵 Memorable Lyrics:
“You're my brown eyed girl / Do you remember when we used to sing / Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-de-da…”
Originally titled "Brown-Skinned Girl", Van Morrison changed the name to avoid controversy at the time, though the song still carries undertones of cultural boundary-crossing and rebellion for its era.
