Shut up, morons!

[@stevecrausby5155]

sometimes we just dont know what a song is about, like when it came out in the early 70,s l didn,t know who vincet was l new the songwriter don McClean was amazing and l loved this song...

[@valleystina]

The song is about Vincent Van Gogh, who had a mental illness. He had himself committed into a mental hospital and painted quite a bit while there. He was just starting to get recognition for his paintings when he died. Some say he committed suicide and others think he was murdered.

[@secondchance6603]

I agree!

[@weefeatures]

Love how you guys use a poetic tribute to the tragic life of an incredible artist as a vehicle for you to sell your 'merch' with your OTT thumbnails and exaggerated reactions. Totally artificial

[@marylang3458]

Van Gogh suffered mental health issues throughout his life but painted even when in the hospital, creating what would become the most famous paintings in the world. While alive, he often gave his paintings away. The sadness of his life is a stark contrast to the vibrant and beautiful world he created on canvas. This song captures the beauty of the artist's painting and his soul. To this day, I cry whenever I hear it, but I always listen.

[@pennyprivate120]

Every picture on that video was a picture that was painted by Vincent van Gogh. His sadness shows in the pictures. He lost the woman he loved to another man and his depression was deep. There was poverty all around him and sadness.

[@JohnSmith-gp3co]

This is a song dedicated to Vincent Van Gogh. A Dutch artist who committed suicide 130 years ago. All the painting in the video are his paintings. He was a very troubled soul who suffered from mental illness.

[@Rob-eo5ql]

Van Gogh lived in constant dispar; a sad and tragic life. He was such a brilliant misunderstood artist and person. He shot himself in the chest standing in the middle of a wheat field. He died 2-3 days later. At his bedside was the person he was most closest to in the world, his brother Theo, said the painter’s last words were: “la tristesse durera pour toujours”-the sadness will last forever”

[@greenacres1909]

The final sentence of your comment made me weep tonight.

[@celinhabr1]

Pure poetry. Vincent Van Gogh's life story is so sad and this tribute is gorgeous.

[@tomschmitz5745]

KIND OF SAD that their are those who even with the word "VINCENT" in the song title and the paintings to go with it, don't know the song is about vincent van gogh, one of the most famous artists of all time...

[@edwardhubschman3610]

Those are all Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings. He took his life as a pauper, having not gotten any recognition until well after his death. His paintings today have sold for as much as $125M. One of the most famous painters in the world.

[@freckled100]

I think artists like Vincent Van Gogh have their nerve endings so close to the skin that they feel everything. Sometimes, they are overwhelmed.

[@Pokafalva]

As an old Scouser myself, I've watched a few of your reaction vids, but I have NEVER seen you two so emotionially taken, and so serious, about a song and the associated images before. Particularly when you saw at the end the pictures were by Vincent van Gogh, and the song was about his life and death. Well done for giving the song and the artist the respect they deserve. (Kirkdale lad)

[@lazylady8591]

The song is about the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh who lived in the 1800's and whose paintings are shown in the video. The picture with mountains and swirly looking stars in the dark blue sky is called Starry Night. Vincent is considered one of the greatest painters today, but people mocked him and his paintings during his life. He only sold two paintings. His brother Theo was his main supporter and closest friend. Vincent had an emotional breakdown and cut off part of his ear (his self portrait with the white bandage was painted during this time). He spent time in mental institutions and released himself. Depressed, he later killed himself by shooting himself in the chest.

[@ericacawthorne790]

All the paintings on that video where by Vincent Van Gogh

[@helgar791]

Vincent actually sold two paintings in his life, both to his brother who was an art dealer. As others have said, he suffered from bipolar disorder which greatly complicated his life. The issue with his paintings and his inability to sell them were multi-faceted. Aside from being so dynamic and different from any other impressionist, Vincent slathered on the paint so thick that his paintings took years to dry making them difficult to show in galleries. After his death his paintings were left to his brother Theo's widow who thankfully preserved them for years before allowing them to be sold. Indeed, Vincent was tortured by his own genius. This touching elegy was, to me Mclean's masterwork, above "American Pie". Come back to this in 10 years after you've experienced something or someone you've loved and then lost; that which you've cared for more than anything in world. This will have more meaning then.

[@40205aschneider]

The pictures you are viewing were painted by "Vincent? Van Gogh. The lyrics are about his life and struggles. . .

[@Chris-kj7de]

Vincent Van Gogh painted all of the paintings shown throughout the song. If you ever go to Amsterdam, you must visit the outstanding Van Gogh Museum on a Friday afternoon and stay for the open bar and music for the after work crowd.

[@mourlyvold7655]

My father took me there when I was seven, they featured one of the famous famous sunflower paintings. I remember clearly, for a moment I actually felt light radiating from it, it blew my mind. He did such things, my dad. I guess he knew me well. Great memories are treasures for life...

[@ishpadful]

He's writing about Vincent Van Gogh, who took his life at a pretty young age. He was a prolific painter, painting a couple thousand paintings in his short life! So, those paintings in the video are all his, including a self-portrait, bandaged ear after cutting part of it off!

[@goatslunch6991]

"They would not listen, they're not listening still. Perhaps they never will." I think there is a message for you here.

[@goatslunch6991]

haha it was meant for people like them

[@lizzieball3795]

Lol!

[@ronwatson5996]

These to yuks have the brain capacity of a duck. I don't mean that I hate to insult ducks.

[@stevemccormack9948]

Vincent Van Gogh is perhaps the most loved artist of all time but he was tormented and committed suicide at age 37. Only after he was dead did he become recognized and celebrated. In fact the Starry Night painting is so famous and has powerful cosmic qualities despite having the hand of a child. The best words from this song were - "eyes that watch the world and can't forget". I think that sums up Vincent - a person who loves everything he sees. How far from away an everyday self-seeking politixol slimeball is someone like that?! Actually its really something to behold and understand. I will never forget that same painting and as I always like to say of him - the universe belongs to Vincent!

[@j.lahtinen7525]

All those paintings were by Vincent Van Gogh, the painter this song is about. He had a tragic life, and was never appreciated while he lived. Now he is one of the most famous painters of all time, his paintings worth millions. If you want to get a very short introduction, that's an amazing scene from a TV series, watch (and preferably react to) this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5O3e3yVitWbhs0 It's a scene from Doctor Who, where the Doctor takes Vincent across time to the modern world, to a gallery with all his paintings. I don't watch the show, but it's a beatiful, amazing, emotional scene. This song by Don McLean is one of my all time favorite songs, and Vincent Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists (as he is for so many). Great reaction guys. 😊

[@michaelmccall3234]

EXCELLENT...The Way You've Gone From Joking To Serious. Love The Artwork, Love The Song, Love Don Mclean!!!

[@philly452009]

American Pie was also a great historical song by Don McLean

[@pennyprivate120]

Elvis Presley's birthday is in 5 more days!! On January 8th. Will you guys do a special Elvis review on that day? Like a double take of two different Elvis songs. I like his popular ones like Kentucky Rain, and Don't Cry Daddy. But any Elvis songs are great.

[@oscarwilde6649]

Excellent, lads. Don't pay any attention to the few imbeciles below. Your reaction was beautiful and sincere. Loved it near the end when you two really were affected by the paintings and the ultimate suicide. Keep truckin✌

[@dalekwatcher]

Watch the Doctor Who episode, “Vincent and the Doctor”. Written by Richard Curtis, cameo by Bill Nighy.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

As others have said, the song title comes from post-Impressionist Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh (1853 to 1890) and one of his most famous works of art called "The Starry Night." All the art shown in this video are his paintings. Sadly, he suffered from depression and mental health issues (some say bipolar disorder) and was in and out of psychiatric hospitals as an adult. He eventually cut off part of his left ear with a razor and later ended up dying after shooting himself in the chest. While alive, Vincent was a poor unknown artist. Since his death, his paintings have sold for millions and millions of dollars. In 2015, one of his paintings sold at auction for 66 million dollars (50.5 million British pounds). In 1990, one of his paintings sold for 82.5 million dollars (64 million British pounds). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starry_Night

[@GinMae]

Hey, boys - my favorite by Don McLean - the song - "Vincent" is about Vincent Van Gogh - his most famous painting was "Starry Starry Night" - and all the others featured here were his -- history says that he "suffered for his sanity" - and cut off his own ear in a fit once.. eventually "took his life as lovers often do" - check out this fly-through video... hkzbin.info/www/bejne/fWinpWywnsqgj6M - BTW, you probably DO know Don McLean for "Bye-Bye Miss American Pie" --

[@waltinabinet8134]

Your immature laughter ruined a touching and meaningful tribute to Vincent Van Gogh.

[@wmcdrum13]

Its amazing how us older people (50's) are mesmerized listening to the young and how they don't recognize these great singers. Thats our fault. We should be telling them and giving them the chance to hear them. The musicians and songwriters do all the hard work and create the songs. All we have to do is spread the word.

[@christinav3964]

The onus is on us to educate those that want to learn, like these young men. Support their channel so they will be motivated to hear the songs you choose. Life isn't very easy in Scouse county

[@shawn1928]

Vincent van Gogh was a famous Dutch painter from the late 1800s. They say he was a bit mad, even cut off part of his ear off during his life, then shot himself in his late 30s

[@petekingfish]

you guys just keep doing things your own way, real reactions are what matters and yours are genuine and fun to watch.

[@elstonngunn4193]

This song was actually 2pac shakurs favourite song of all time

This song was written about the great Dutch master artist Vincent Van Gogh. He painted in the late 1800’s. Check out his story - it’s pretty amazing.

[@lindaadams4831]

A tribute to VINCENT VAN GOGH.. boys !!! An artist so famous I can`t believe you don`t know who he is. Come on do some research and you`ll really get it !!!!! Good luck with your research....

[@ralphvillanueva8724]

Great song writing, emotional but beautiful. Sad commentary about mental illness, but creativity in using Vincent Van Gogh life and suffering in his song writing.

[@douglassmith6663]

Doesn't matter how old a song is if it's good it'll always be good music is Timeless

[@philipem1000]

All the pictures in teh video were painted by Van Gogh, the Vincent of the song. One of his paintings really sold at auction of $111 Million. His most famous painting is referred to as Starry Night.

[@GinMae]

It's about Vincent Van Gogh -- a Dutch master painter from the 1800's - Starry Night was one of his most famous paintings... and the others featured in the video were also his... My most favorite song by Don McLean... Y'all are getting it... (Van Gogh was famous for cutting off his own ear... and eventually did commit suicide -- "you took your life, as lovers often do") -- love you guys! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh

[@Manc-fh5we]

Glad I’m not the only one who thought this…😕

[@Joe-rn7td]

I'm seriously going off you two! Never heard of Don McLean you'd better hope he doesn't see this! It's a beautiful song about a troubled painter. Cut out the carry on and listen!

[@Russ442100]

This is an Homage and a lament from a great artist to a greater one. Towering giants like Van Gogh live in a world of children.. He could not not find a way to tell the children they were children.

[@inchristalone4539]

This is one of the most beautiful but haunting songs I have ever heard! God bless you Vincent! So so sad

[@jameskoralewski1006]

Vincent Van Gogh. Those were his paintings in the background.

[@smokedog2185]

Starry Night A creative heart, obsessed with satisfying this dormant and uncaring society you have given them the stars at night and u have given them Bountiful Bouquets of Sunflowers but 4 u there is only contempt and though u pour yourself into that frame and present it so proudly this world could not accept your masterpieces from the heart. So on that starry night u gave 2 us and u took away from us the one thing we never acknowledged your life. By 2pac Shakur dedicated to the memory of Vincent van gogh

[@bradjbourgeois73]

This is a song that just draws you in the first time you hear it!

[@azulmanuela]

If you haven´t seen it yet, a film (well several, recently "Van Gogh - At Eternity’s Gate" with Willem Dafoe REALLY GOOD) was made "using his paintings" as tool, animation actually. It´s beautiful and gives an insight in his life (last years), death (maybe accidental?) and work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXjdfKGvnb53h6s

[@celticcross6824]

A good book to read is Dear Theo by Irving Stone. It is the book Don McLean was reading when he wrote this song. A must read. Insightful to see how Vincent viewed the world. His passion of course you can see it in his art. If you haven't viewed a Van Gogh in person well an experience worth having

[@raymondthompson2908]

Hi guys. Another cool reaction video. I think this is the saddest song ever, and it was made more interesting seeing you appreciate the paintings of Van Gogh, as you went along with the song. Van Gogh portrayed the impoverished, working people, in a way that was never done before. No-one liked them, and he he took his life, seemingly a failure. Now his work is everywhere. Perhaps they'll listen now. Well done guys. Ray

[@katerailey524]

All of the paintings shown were created by the artist, Vincent Van Gogh. The song is about him.

[@Darjeelingla]

Investigate Van Gogh paintings in books. Then one day, view them in in a museum-gallery. The guards won’t be able to drag you out the door.

[@SueProst]

Allthose painti gs were by Vincent... Van Gogh. Starry starry Night was one of his paintings. He is writing about Vincents paintngs and sufferings. Painting of bandage around his head is when he cut off his ear.

[@hammertime615]

[@leonh.kalayjian6556]

The first time I read the lyrics to this song cause I never really knew the song all that well... half way through I knew something was very wrong and I said... he killed himself. Maclean foreshadowed it with how the song was sung and his word choices. Especially - now I understand. That really says that someone is looking back and trying to make sense of a tragic ending.

[@stedevo7149]

[@gh9111]

The song is genius.

[@patriciadowning4036]

Vincent was a Dutch artist whose brother actually bought some of his painting when they wouldn't sell, just to keep his hope up. But in frustration, Van Gogh actually cut off his own ear and was placed into a lunatic asylum, where he looked out and painted from his cell.

[@SweetThing]

Actually, he didn't cut off his ear because of frustration; he had severe vertigo and he was desperately trying to get rid of it. But cutting off his ear did not alleviate his problem.

[@harrietmiller3982]

Great reaction guys👏🪅🎉✌️‼️. And I hope you explore on your own a bit more an out Vincent Van Gogh, well worth knowing and seeing his works. And I was glad to see no bubble gum popping and chewing on this one😘🌹✌️

Come on now, Laura. That's not perfectly fair. People react in different ways. I'm sure you have witnessed that in your own life. There's no prescribed way to deal with one's emotions. These two good lads obviously felt this song, really felt it in their own way. They clearly were in awe. Mandatory crying? That's just not how it works, now is it? Peace.

[@user-zd9pi1uh7m]

everyone on about the laughter but as soon as the song begins they stop we've all been there dont judge

[@M00159]

I agree. As the song went on, they heard and saw the beauty and in the end really did appreciate the words and the images. They realized how special this song is.

[@mssuziquzi]

The song is sad and so beautiful. Vincent Van Gogh was one the of world's most brilliant Impressionist painters but was dogged by mental illness and ended up committing suicide by shooting himself. The poignant lyrics reflect how misunderstood he was and also how his unique style of painting was not accepted back then...( Perhaps they never will). When I was in Paris I spent hours just staring at paintings by this genius. This song is one that always moves me to tears.

[@williamjordan5554]

Killing Me Softly is a famous song written about McLean. The Fugees did a version of it.

[@280z318i]

Roberta Flack made this song famous long before the Fugees covered the song. She should get credit for this first before the Fugees are mentioned.

[@williamjordan5554]

@@280z318i I didn't think they'd know who that was. I thought there might be a chance they'd know the Fugees, since that was more recent. Slight chance, but a chance.

If you scroll up some of the comments down below there is a bit of information about his sad life so so sad !,

[@3ScotsInk]

All the paintings are Vincent Van Gogh's, one of the greatest painters who's ever lived, but was not appreciated until after his death. You two might be particularly interested in knowing more about him-- the love that sustained him was not from a woman, it was from his brother, who cared for Vincent through all of his sadness and struggles, to the very end of his life. Very, very touching story-- even just a quick Wikipedia read will give you a lot of info, some of which will break your hearts. It was very cool to see the words and music click in quickly for you both-- maybe a little bit of a buzz kill, but worth it, right? Just an iconic and beautiful song.

You kept saying that the song was telling an amazing story but it was clear that you didn't understand what that story was, even though the song was called 'Vincent', the lyrics were obviously about an artist and the video kept showing famous masterpiece after famous masterpiece, by arguably the most famous and celebrated artist in history, Vincent Van Gogh! I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh but it was pretty funny and I'm sure you see the funny side yourselves, now that you realise. :)
