Baby blue in human culture

Gender

  • In Western culture, the color baby blue is often associated with baby boys (and baby pink for baby girls), particularly in clothing and linen and shoes. This is a recent tradition, however, and until the 1940s the convention was exactly the opposite: pink was considered the appropriate color for boys as the more masculine and "decided" while blue was the more delicate and dainty color and therefore appropriate for girls.

    Baby Blue

    by: Yarabata Ridge

    I'm going to tell you about the blues It's a story that is true
    I've just met a girl Who put my life in a twirl
    Got to find her again As my heart's full of pain
    I just didn't realise That she cut me down to size
    Oh baby blue I just don't know what to do
    I'm just going to cry all night Please show me the light
    It was a long time ago Just don't know what went wrong
    I couldn't believe this could happen So I found me a song
    Oh dear I just couldn't tell Walked on the pavement and fell
    It all happened to me today Don't know why you came my way
    Oh baby blue I just don't know what to do
    I'm just going to cry all night Please show me the light
    Love is like a flower It gives you so much power
    Unless it happens to you You can't believe it is true
    So I am going to tell you about the blues It's a story that is true
    I've just met a girl Who put my life in a twirl
    Got to find her again As my heart is full of pain
    I just didn't realise That she cut me down to size
    Oh baby blue I just don't know what to do
    I'm just going to cry all night Please show me the light
