Such a great song by Don McLean! It is his tribute to the sad life of the painter Vincent Van Gogh. He suffered from depression & committed suicide. He never saw any success during his life. But now his paintings are worth millions of dollars.

[@garyneilson3075]

Just one of the overwhelming amount of injustices in this world..... But when resurrected to the "new earth" ( Revelation 21 :1-5the Bible ) with no more tears or suffering, hell get to live the life he should have. I'm happy to think of him and the other sufferers, ones as beautiful as Vincent, getting to have their second chance in a finer world!

[@gaillouise8310]

Such a beautiful and perceptive reaction.

[@domenicdandrea5065]

@@garyneilson3075 Amen!

[@danpals7678]

Vincent moved to France for a girl and joined up with an artist group. She rejected him and the other artists did too. His brother was supporting him but cut him off too. And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry starry night, you took your life as lovers often do, I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

[@sherrolromeo6705]

It was Tupac's favourite song and was played at his dying bedside on repeat!!!

[@Rob-eo5ql]

His brother, Theo, said Vincent’s last words, before he passed, were “la tristesse durera pour toujours” (the sadness will last forever).

[@JonnySativaSeed23]

It is said that this is one of Tupac's favorite songs and that they played it for him at his bedside in the hospital when he passed. True poets, both of them.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

That's beautiful.

[@clifton8929]

The genius of Vincent by Don McLean is genius. Van Gogh is a genius lost in sadness and depression. Vincent felt lost, and Longley in the world misunderstood him, and he committed suicide. Sadly, he never saw any that praised or had an appreciation for his work during his life. But now, he is praised, and his paintings are worth millions of dollars. What a fantastic tribute in lyrical poetry by Don McLean to give him. Now, they might understand.

[@doplinger1]

Even not knowing the references this song is sad but beautiful. Once you really know the back story of Van Gogh, it’s heartbreaking.

[@AliasMark69]

Jim Croce - "Photographs And Memories"... try not to cry knowing.....

[@WilliamTheMovieFan]

Yeah, that’s a good one.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

That's another heart-breaker. Beautiful, beautiful song.

[@stevetournay6103]

That song is outrageously short. Which of course seems symbolic...

[@graywade9225]

Oh Vincent... Makes me cry every time. Another excellent reaction JM!

[@craigmarkowski7156]

I've been listening to this song since the day it came out and I have yet to be able to not tear up !

[@germankitty]

If memory serves, this was written in the "voice" of Vincent van Gogh's brother, speaking to the artist after Vincent committed suicide. Also, all the background pictures were van Gogh's creations. Incredible song, performed incredibly well. A true classic!

[@dorothystorry1733]

Vincent Van Gogh . What a beautiful artist. His paintings speak for themselves.

[@mapegatkinson92]

The movie starring William Defoe is a must see biography. He cut his ear off in his frustration and mental illness.

[@deborahanderson8682]

LUST FOR LIFE WAS THE BEST BIOPIC OF VINCENT VAN GOGH. IT STARRED KIRK DOUGLAS.

[@AliasMark69]

Mr. McLean wrote a few stories that captured our senses on several levels. He had a way with words.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Sir, FYI, this are the masterful works of Vincent van Gogh, a painter from the Netherlands. A genius born into the wrong time. Mr. McLean wrote the text to his famous paintings. Be safe, be blessed and happy. Sincerely, Elmar from Germany

[@thedocofrock1890]

no matter how many times i hear this - it's impossible to have a dry eye

[@philipdickey6460]

In addition to American Pie, I love this song, Don wrote some great music..

[@susanworkman529]

Wow! You couldn't have reacted to this song any better. I truly enjoyed your knowledge on what Don McLean's tribute song was saying.. Most don't. When this song came out in '72 I knew Van Gogh was a famous artist but didn't know his body of work. Once I learned about him and saw his art, the song made perfect sense and I realized the beauty of it.

[@simchabaruch7023]

When I look at you and your set, every shade of brown, I am sure Vincent would have liked to paint you.

[@tonyalways7174]

The greatest ode to the greatest painter. A beautiful symmetry.

[@stevetournay6103]

Ever see the Doctor Who segment where Vincemt visits the Musee d'Orsay in Paris? One of television's finest moments. Gorgeous. As is this exquisite Don McLean song.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

I love this particular video as it really ties the genius and talent of both Don McLean and Vincent Van Gogh. The paintings match so beautifully with the words of his music.

[@Cashcrop54]

Glad you did Vincent! I can never hear this song without thinking of an episode of Dr Who called "Vincent and the Doctor". Dr Who travels thru time to Vincent's life. At the end he brings Vincent to our time and Vincent learns how great his paintings became. It's my favorite Dr. Who. You'd love it!

[@janetf23]

Thanks for this mention👏 I love that episode so much that I bought it so I could watch anytime I want!

[@Cashcrop54]

@@janetf23 We are of like mind. I too bought that episode. It is the best.

[@stevetournay6103]

Ah, was wondering if someone else would bring that glorious bit of TV up. One of the finest moments in the history of the medium...

[@Cashcrop54]

@@stevetournay6103 I could not agree more. I just cannot separate the song and this episode. One leads me right to the other.

[@lutdesimpelaere2947]

You have an amazing comprehension of this song, most people don’t get it. Well done. Definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@ritayeager135]

I've loved Van Gogh since I saw Kirk Douglas play him in the movie many many years ago

[@joannparker1977]

RIP to the wonderful Vincent Van Gogh. You know how much I treasure your beautiful art.

[@gdmyers47]

I appreciate the effort that you put into your analysis. This is one of my favorite Don McClean Songs, one of the others being "Empty Chairs," from the same album. "Empty Chairs" is about a lost love and has imagery comparable, to if not even surpassing that of, "Vincent."

[@richardrocha1096]

Don m clean true artistry of music and Vincent's genus painting creats this interpretation of his work

[@scotties.3414]

You are hands down one of the best if not the very best reactor on youtube. If I were a musician I would want you to interpret and respond to my songs because you really really listen. And that thousand watt smile doesn't hurt either. 😁

[@rolandosarabia810]

To watch your expression shift as you realized the depth of the lyrics was priceless. Thanks for your reaction.

[@owl-gd6ce]

what an awesome analysis...you nailed it!!✌😀

Great reaction.. a very special song

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I’ve read that TuPac loved this song.

[@SAM-dg3vd]

Beautiful! ❤️

[@pangaea90]

Starry Night is a painting by Van Gogh of his view from his room at the sanitorium. The stars in it represent those who locked him up looking down on him (Like Joseph with the coat of many colors and his 11 brothers in the Biblical story). There is a lot more to the painting Starry Night. When I first read about it, it was like an epiphany. It's worth looking into

[@matthewbecker964]

Imagine being one of the greatest painters of all time and having nobody interested in your work or caring about you in any way. He knew how good he was and that people thought he was nuts. His passion was to much for his society to comprehend. He was a great writer to. Read his letters.

[@classicrocklady6288]

Great analysis of a very touching tribute by one genius to another.

[@roadwary56]

That's the best proper reaction/review I've ever heard on this song. Great job bro

[@oldladylovesBruno]

I highly recommend reading about Van Gogh's life.

[@TomFurr-uc1hj]

Dude you are very intelligent how you understand these songs.I appreciate that so much.

[@lindamarsh6711]

Well said.. you get him! That’s awesome! Don is still still alive, you should ask him. I think He’d answer you.

What a classic song … with an incredible lyric!

[@Anjuli50]

Thank you for such a thorough and thoughtful reaction.

[@cog4life]

Excellent reaction. 😢😊Excellent. Beautiful

[@rolandosarabia810]

Yours is the most insightful reaction of all other reactions I've heard. Definitely one of my favourite songs of all time. And it's an artist with his words and a guitar paying tribute to a tortured soul who took his life and never knew how impactful his life was to the whole World.

[@RMBlake007]

I agree with Rolando...this reaction and the commentary afterwards was the best I've heard and seen for the song "Vincent".

[@MaryHand-px2ed]

A masterpiece , may I live a few more years so as to listen and spread the word about DON Mc LEAN....the man is a legend who has made😊my life worth living through trying times .VINCENT VAN GOGH is my favourite painter , he was a troubled soul who couldn't find peace .

[@cynergy4]

There is a video of him performing this live that will rip your heart out. Vincent, both the artist and song, are very special to me

[@gsdtravels6457]

I love your take on the song and Van Gogh himself. He's been my favorite artist since high school and I'm in my mid 60s. He was a brilliant but tortured soul.

[@daveloboda1769]

A great song from a great album. The whole of "American Pie" is a masterpiece, try "Crossroads".

[@Toomaletoopaletoostale]

Where did all the great songwriters go 😢

[@vernemil]

Excellent reaction. Wow, what a memory you have. Hey, you're a brilliant man. My reaction to you ....

[@elhovobulgaria8661]

wonderful lyrics

[@netzahuacoyotl]

The circumstances of Vincent’s death are by no means clear. He returned to his room at an inn in Auvers-Sur-Oise (where he was seeing a doctor for his depression) one evening with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. He lingered a day or more before he died and did not disclose the circumstances of how he was shot. There is some speculation that it may have been inflicted by a young boy, possibly playing with a gun or with malicious intent. We’ll never know, but shooting yourself in the gut isn’t the most efficient way to off yourself. You should read Lust For Life, a beautiful biography of Van Gogh presented in narrative form. He was entirely devoted to his art and his brother Theo, an art dealer in Paris, supported him but ultimately only sold one of his paintings before he died.

[@johnlong9534]

Wow, the only thing better than this song is the way you described it. GREAT REVIEW. I will come back to this in the future.

[@bitfenix90]

Of course, IF Bublé's connected to this song, it was done ?? three decades later ??.

[@stevetournay6103]

He's just saying the Buble recording (Feeling Good is not of course a song Buble wrote) reminds him of McLean's Vincent.

[@jackie_jrml]

Tupac’s favorite song. Beautiful.

[@beth3541]

Thank you for playing this .. I haven't heard it for a while but have listened to it often. I love your reaction and understanding that Vincent just wanted them to listen to what he was trying to say. Don McClean depicts and presents this beautifully. An iconic song. I really feel for people in the future musically. I like to TRY & listen to rap but the words are a jumble, the message can't be understood. I think lyrics are needed for us to understand what they are trying to say so WE can hear their message.
