Vincent (Starry Starry Night)

[@elbybrook9975]

Every time I hear this song I cry like a baby.

[@bj4520]

This song, together with Tony Curran's masterful portrayal of Vincent, is pure art.

[@joemello7888]

One of the most beautiful and underrated songs ever.

[@rayofsunshine5539]

Always loved this song. and being based on a true story makes it even better.

[@minipigsDOTcom]

By far the most touching episode in Matt's era, and possibly in Doctor Who history. It was an emotional roller-coaster and my favourite episode! Great music video of it.

[@margaretlindsay4129]

Oh how much i would have loved to have met this beautiful soul. He was too gentle for this harsh world. He will always be in my heart. X

[@pamelajordan2890]

I’ve loved Vincent sense I was a child. ❤❤

[@wcr42480]

One of the greatest songs and greatest Dr Who episodes

[@juliuscena]

I showed this in my art class and this episode made me cry hard like an idiot in front of my students.

[@simplytruth9729]

Sometimes it's nice to show your vulnerability to your students. It can give them a space to reveal their vulnerability with a feeling of feeling safe in your classroom. Blessings to you in your career.

My most beloved episode of Doctor Who. Thank you ! Especially the scene in the Musee d'Orsay: DOCTOR: I just wondered, between you and me, in a hundred words, where do you think Van Gogh rates in the history of art? BLACK: Well, big question, but to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly, the most popular great painter of all time. The most beloved. His command of colour, the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world. No one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.

One of my favorite songs of all time, I used to turn it up when it came on the radio. It was on all my mix tapes growing up (yes, I'm in my late 60s). And this episode is probably one of my top favorites of the entire series. Just fantastic and this song over those images....wow.

[@ShadowWolfRising]

This song and clips combination is a tearjerker.

Ageless and a great classic song one of the Greatest

[@izero8697]

The eyes of Tony Curran here looks like the kind of eyes that sees AESTHETIC! This is utterly greatness! ❤

[@captainamerica5826]

Mental illness is a pain no one can truly understand unless they experience it themselves be kind to each other and just be a good listener without judging

[@wendymuir7818]

You are right. You never know what someone may be going through...

[@karinprohexe3362]

I can not look and listen the movie, without crying. ..he was so sensible and feeled so alone...full of pain ...i love you, my red hair friend...

[@lauriespencer4132]

This is the most beautiful video. Well done.

[@janetaldrich7747]

My husband and I saw the (really amazing) movie "Loving Vincent" and I have come to believe that Vincent didn't take his own life. Still love this song and this episode, though.

[@captainamerica5826]

I agree Vincent was likely accidentally shot by a young man just fooling around and Vincent didn't tell anyone

[@chesapeakebaymermaid]

Janet, I feel the same. It seems as though he was just getting started. However, if he was bipolar, a severe depressive mood is often preceded by a manic mood.

[@anita5848]

Thanks so much for posting this

[@charlayned]

One other thing, if you can find it, Leonard Nimoy did a one man play of Vincent, about Theo, Vincent's brother and he talks about the painter and his life. it's also a great tribute.

[@lauriespencer4132]

Such a beautiful video.

[@williamwicks7949]

Perhaps the best Dr Who episode I have ever seen. I have a print of starry night on my wall. Superb.

[@marjoriegoodwin2993]

I loved this particular Dr. He had a wonderful overabundance of personality. This was a charming adventure.

[@anneshields2010]

Vincent was a very handsome talented beautiful soul in need of some good true friends and make him feel good

[@rohitsharma306]

My love and respect for Sir Vincent Vang Gogh got an upsurge after reading Lust for Life. He was such a kind person, had endured suffering throughout his life.

[@frankvanderhorst6528]

Vang ?

[@Bruce-1956]

Sir? He was Dutch. Try meneer.

[@nitramsonjack4741]

It is my favorite. Vincent got to see his success. What an artist!!!!

[@thefeircelion3890]

This was one of my favorite episodes

[@mariateresameloni4413]

Bellissimo video... La vita di Vincent Van Gogh è stata troppo breve, triste, e piena di episodi drammatici...Era troppo sensibile per questo Mondo, ma, se ancora oggi, si ammirano le sue opere uniche, di una bellezza straordinaria e si parla di lui, non è morto invano... Ha lasciato una eredità di Amore... Dopo aver commesso il gesto che lo condurrà alla morte, avrebbe scritto una lettera di addio a suo fratello Theo, il quale morì dopo sei mesi, sembra di crepacuore, per la triste morte del suo caro Vincent... 15 ottobre 2023

[@mahumike7531]

I just didnt want it to end! THANK YOU t

[@fatherclarencejones2733]

My favorite episode of Doctor Who ever. Thanks for posting this.

[@davincent98]

I heard this song on a replay of American Top 40 with Casey Kasem, and imagined scenes from this episode. When he said "Ragged man in ragged clothes" I knew this had to have been done.

[@lunavanegas974]

Well, you know how to make a stranger cry

[@Rogsmith4]

A Classic!!!

[@lindasnyder2774]

This song ran through my life and broken heart. Life can get better.❤️

[@JahirBajgora]

[Verse 1] Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and grey 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Now I think I know 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're not listening still Perhaps they never will. 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 [Bridge] For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight 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 [Verse 3] 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; a bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

a beautiful episode in Dr Who and it’s always been a beautiful song ❤

[@jurneideutschman2187]

IM CRYING. FOR REAAAAL

[@ナワポーン]

me too T-T

[@priscillamacedoll3594]

Meu episódio preferido de uma série que sou apaixonada mais a música que amo! Isso é perfeito! 😍

[@scottwiseman8015]

All the music on Don McLanes American Pie album should have been number one hits. One of the top ten best albums of all time. My opinion of course.

[@yusra7414]

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul♥️🌱

[@johnknottenbelt2727]

How one gets drawn into understanding, when touched by such beautiful sadness. ❤

[@tompsheridantsheridant7354]

JESUS CHRYSLER!!

[@ryeencoke]

So many great covers of this song. Fightstar cover is my favourite. This episode, particularly the scene with Vincent in the museum, just brings me to tears.

[@mariaetheridge8343]

I always tear up with this song... 😥

[@huemann3416]

Brilliant video! Thank you for sharing your editing skills. Truly Vincent would shed a tear of joy my friend.

[@Valerie-nf3jl]

All the best for harvest festival VINCENt and to Scott from y aunty 🙏😏😛🥗

So beautiful!

[@jonatanerira9273]

siempre lloro en toda la cancion,

[@Forkygolach1]

I find this totally overwhelming

[@vaughendustries]

this is so calming.

[@sebastienvondoom8615]

I'd call I sobering more than anything else(except maybe depressing or melancholic.)

[@clydedude]

McLean really moved Me in many of His songs

[@Anonymoose62]

My old art teacher would always play this song when we were making our own replica of the Starry Night

[@GloriaMartinez-on3jx]

Beautiful song❤ the words struck a cord... too bad sometimes we ignore what's right in front of us..😢

[@bloodmoon0011]

Holy shit. Don McClean could see the future. "The Ragged men in ragged clothes". "Raggedy Man. Goodnight" O.O

[@csgrambauer5852]

I caught that too and made me go, wow!

[@TheSaneHatter]

Perhaps it's a direct influence: the DW writers could have been listening to this song while brainstorming, for all that we know.

[@azountsu]

Thanks for making this!

[@leonardosantiago4274]

This vídeo is Amazing...

[@halfbloodrascal6712]

One of the best episodes aside from all weeping angels episodes.

[@KeesKouwenberg]

Imho the best Doctor Who episode ever...

[@mikeyates7931]

"The sadness will last forever"

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

It was like doctor who was made for this episode. Ragged man in ragged clothes. And Amy calls the doctor, Raggety man:)

[@vittoriomerlo1145]

Sublime

[@brunasam7499]

❤

[@frankthrelkeld2150]

Read the book Lust for Life by Irving Stone ft

[@Mariana-ym6zf]

Do you know from which movie and what year this is?

[@PNCNewsgirls]

it's a doctor who episode, you should watch it

[@inamangia2870]

😊😊😊

[@giorgiabressanello3271]

QUANTO AVREI VOLUTO ESSERE IO CON LUI...........

[@martatealdo1732]

Am I very stupid if I´m crying and asking me "what if" if Amy would had stayed and having those red hair children? may I allowed myself to believe that dream?...at least jus for a whyle?

[@stardaggerrihannsu2363]

We wouldn't have had his art then, because he'd be fucking Amy silly.

[@jessicacaleno1998]

Wed still have an artist. There would be paintings of joy and instead of despair just like the plant of sunflowers for amy

[@abhisheksarkar8885]

He actually looks like a Vangogh

[@fairefroid]

An awakening soul in the dark night of his soul ,miss understood .😔😢 By the lux on tenebris world.

*He was Marcus in Underworld*

[@Mceiht1]

Dedicated in memory of vincent Van gogh by 2Pac Amaru : « creative heart, obsessed with satisfying This dormant and uncaring society u 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 »

[@luisdonaldosuarezherrera9533]

What is the name of the movie ?

[@nurfarraadrianazamzuri4671]

Dr. Who

[@Bruce-1956]

The greatest painter? Vincent van Gogh? Genius is a word banded about but van Gogh certainly was.

[@craigkelly4278]

R.I.P Sir

[@seannolan8615]

Who's the actor that played the part of Vincent? Looks like he became Vincent.

[@VC_CC]

Oh

[@patbest7057]

You can keep the Hollywood overacting Kirk Douglas Tony Curran is VVG Wonderful

[@ChrisBulmer-oy7vx]

This portrayal of Vincent is too romantic and the actor too good looking. Vincent lost most of his teeth due to poor diet and malnutrition. His beard would never have been so neat. His eyes should be bloodshot, his skin poor. A tramp off the street would be more accurate.

[@Nightbird.]

*Don't be fooled by this romantic portrayal of Van Gogh:* 🙄 *"For human intimacy, he regularly visited prostitutes. On 8 October 1888, he wrote in a letter to Theo that he’d been without company for a while: ‘Because for at least 3 weeks I haven’t had enough to go and have a screw for 3 francs’."* *Source: Van Gogh Museum*

[@stepforwardentertainment715]

No one is implying the man was perfect. He struggled with depression, which ultimately caused his death.

[@JaniceinOR]

@Nightbird What is your point? If someone is lonely or has no sexual partner, visiting a prostitute seems like a helpful thing to do.
