Don McLean - Vincent (Lyrics)

[@vincebeans2180]

My Mama died last Dec 23. She had a record of this song on We Sing. I was beside her as she was recording this, taking one glance after the other at me during the entire song. Now, I listened to the song again, and I really missed how she utters "Vincent", as Vincent is my name. I missed her so much. I would give everything just so she could sing this to me once again. Of all the beautiful things in this world, she is that one that I deserve the most. I love her so much.

[@giselaestevez8775]

Beautiful story

[@michaelre3781]

Vincent, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I also lost my wife of 34 blessed years on December 9th, 2021. We both enjoyed this song, too. I look up to my blessed savior Jesus & He keeps me going. That doesn't mean that I still don't grieve & cry. Stay strong my friend.

[@carpediem9067]

I feel for your void Vince. I have also lost my mum and far too early for us both. I remember it like yesterday although it was 1982. I was 14 and she 37. Be strong Vince. She is not far away. She hears you.

[@partosaoliver7845]

Hello brother Vince, I hope that you are okay by now. I may not know how hard that feeling was but my sympathy is with you. I condole with you in these trying times.

My heart is melting. I'm under the seas of stars rn. It's the point of my life where there's a painful sting in my chest but I can't cry no more. Somehow I felt relieved because my eyes did most of the work. I'm grateful for the stars for not leaving me when everybody else has. It's a peaceful night, folks.

[@anaidlg504]

And how are you today? Knowing pain makes me grateful when there are snippets of peace, sighing my relief.

[@catvids8786]

@@anaidlg504 thank you for asking me, that's so sweet of you. Saw this message right after I wake up and it made me feel better honestly. I've accepted things and loosen my grip because it only hurts me. The moment that I have seen my point of view few months ago somehow made me more grateful, cause I know I'm making progress. Thank you so much Anaid🤍 Lil gestures touch people the most. Hope you're doing good, too.

Don, this is the first song I've listened to in 2025. It's a classic song made for every man and time. Thank you again!

[@mochimochi_ai]

Vincent is my favorite artist. I hope he is happy in the afterlife as people in this time and generation admire him and his works now. I was very sad knowing how people in the past couldn't even appreciate the feelings and emotions in his masterpieces.

[@edivinbunda2103]

Vincent is true with his art and soul from it. I am one of his true fan.

*Lyrics: Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy, linen land Now, I understand what you tried to say to me And how you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left inside On that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often do But I could have told you, Vincent This world was never meant for one As beautiful as you Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will

Für mich ein unheimich schönes lied❤

[@officalpurpleguy5174]

As my name is Vincent, I also love Vincent Von Gogh and I am also an artist, the lyrics also hit me close to home and my own childhood. This is easily my new favorite song.

[@ericburns9132]

Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It belongs with other beautiful songs such as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Simon and Garfunkel), "Fire and Rain" (James Taylor), "Yesterday" (The Beatles), "Better than I" (David Campbell), Annie's Song" (John Denver), "Time in a Bottle" (Jim Croce), "If You Could Read My Mind" (Gordon Lightfoot), "Lies" (Stan Rogers), and "Longer" (Dan Fogelberg).

[@exo-lforlife8668]

We had discussed Vincent Van Gogh's life back on our art app subject and yes I have learned that vincent had an illness that something related to his eyesight which explains the wavery paint seen in the starry night artwork, and yes he loved to have a self-portrait. Also, he commits to killing himself. You know what was the saddest? No one bought any of his artwork back when he was still alive. I wish i was there with him tho, to make him feel that he is worth it, make him feel that he is appreciated. By the way i just discovered this song when i randomly watched the voice this song was sung by a girl, forget her name tho. I didn't know this exists.
