"Green" is the lead single by the American singer-songwriter Brendan James, from his first studio album The Day Is Brave. The song has been featured in the Lifetime's hit show, Army Wives.
The song is about a former girlfriend he met while working at Urban Outfitters. "She was just a really special girl," Brendan said, "and after we broke up, I looked back and realized she was always wearing green."[2]
There's a bit of a story behind it and I tell it when I sing it live. I can tell you that when I lived in New York, I had to get a job at Urban Outfitters to pay the bills. Andrea, who the song is about, is the girl I met there and the more I got to know her, the more I came to admire her for her strength and what she had been through in her own life up to that point. It was a very emotional, passionate relationship. It ended with a few things left on my mind. One of them was that she wore the color green every day of her life. I never knew why but it was her comfort, you know?
— Brendan James, [3]
