On 15 October 2006, Vicky Leandros was elected town councillor of the Greek harbor town of Piraeus on the Pasok list. Her task concerned the Cultural and International development of Piraeus. She also served as Deputy Mayor of Piraeus. It was announced in June 2008 that Leandros decided to leave her position in Greek politics with immediate effect, stating that she had underestimated the workload and time needed to fulfill her political obligations and that it had become impossible to combine those duties with her singing career.

Love Is Blue
Vicky Leandros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blue is my world, now I'm without you
Grey, grey, my life is grey
Cold is my heart, since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you, alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
When we met, how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you, so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world, now I'm without you
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you, alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you, and now we're apart
When we met, how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you, so lost and alone
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world, now I'm without you
Grey, grey, my life is grey
Cold is my heart, since you went away
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world, now I'm without you
Blue is my world, now I'm without you
The lyrics of "Love Is Blue" by Vicky Leandros express the pain and heartache of losing a loved one. The song uses different colors to symbolize different emotions associated with the break-up. Blue is the predominant color, symbolizing the sadness and emptiness that the singer feels after her lover departs. The repetition of the color blue in the song lyrics reinforces the idea that the singer's entire world has become blue without her lover in it.
The lyrics also evoke jealousy as a symptom of the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through. The color green represents this feeling of jealousy, which caused the singer to doubt her lover and ultimately contributed to their separation. The color red represents the pain and tears that the singer has shed over the loss, highlighting the depth of her heartbreak.
The chorus of the song features a repetition of the line, "When we met, how the bright sun shone, then love died, now the rainbow is gone." This line paints a picture of the initial happiness and hope that the singer felt when she fell in love, followed by the painful reality of the relationship ending.
Overall, "Love Is Blue" is a poignant and visceral portrayal of the pain and sadness that comes with losing a loved one.

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world, now I’m without you
Grey, grey, my life is grey
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart

Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I’ve known
Longing for you, so lost and alone
Blue, blue, my world is blue

I have never cried so deeply to a song before... And I just watched "La vie d'Adéle". I can see every word in the song fitting the Movie.
