Seeing Green
Is green your favorite color? If you answered yes, then give me a virtual high-five! I’ve always loved the color green. It’s warm, peaceful, and relaxing.
Despite living in the urban jungle my entire life, I find myself constantly looking forward to outdoor adventures where I can be surrounded by greenery, be it a vast expanse of grass, a towering mountain, or a line of majestic trees. And you can bet that during these adventures, there’s nothing else I’d rather listen to than songs with "green" in the title.
Songs About the Color and More
You may not realize it, but there are a ton of “green songs” out there. Not all of them refer to the color itself, though. It’s interesting how songwriters use the word "green" in different ways.
As you listen to the songs listed below, you’ll find that "green" could refer to life, nature, energy, money, or even something a little dirty. And no, these songs aren’t meant to be played only during St. Patrick’s Day. You just might find yourself creating an entirely new playlist containing only songs with "green" in the title.
