Don McLean's Vincent (Starry,Starry Night) Almost all images created by Vincent Van- Gogh. Song by Don McLean I in no way assume any credit for song or images.

For those who may have missed my previous comments. I compiled and uploaded this so I could explain my love of Van-Gogh's art to a dear friend of mine and thought McLean's Stary Stary Night was perfect in helping to explain. The lyrics were strictly for the benefit of my Friend, who's first language is not English.I never imagined it would get so many views and comments. I'm so glad I was able to share.

It made me a little sad when I learned that Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear because he was angry at somebody, and when he committed suicide. Even though I didn't know him it makes me feel sad when I listen to this song, but at the same time this song keeps the memories of him alive and represents him as the good artist he was. In elementary school once, we also had an assignment which was to draw the starry night picture.
@beckster59236 күн бұрын
That's also a major fact about Vincent Van Gogh, that he inspired many people to do artwork. He's a good influence for other artists, and for people who are artistic. The knowledge about famous people, in addition to the memories (including the people who have passed away) lasts on, and remains in the world as a valuable record. RIP Vincent Van Gogh🙏

I dedicated this song to my Mom. She committed suicide when I was 15, going on 16. She was only 36 years old. She loved to draw, and she was very good at it, but she never thought she was. She lost her Mom to a heart attack, when she was only 11 years old. She had a VERY hard life, and she never thought she was worth anything to anyone. I'm going on 60 now, and I still miss her. I didn't get to grow up with her because my father kidnapped me and my brothers, and the State found out, and they kidnapped us, and put us in different foster homes. This song brings it all back..., it still brings tears to my eyes. You never stop loving the people you truly care about, and nothing ever fills the empty space they leave in your heart. I write poetry, and I wrote a poem many years ago, called Phyllis. Phyllis A wife, a mother, an artist, though never self-proclaimed. She never truly believed that she, should come through life un-mained. The victim of men's lusts and rage, a woman drunk and sorrowed. What thoughts ran through her mind the day, she used the gun she borrowed? As in the song Starry- Starry Night, you "took your life as lovers often do." Phyllis, perhaps the song was right, and "this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you." Van Gogh could not have truly seen, such a starry starry night, for just as Phyllis - his eyes were screened, by his agony and fright. What beauty they kept hidden, this sad world will never know. Secret treasures forever buried now, with Phyllis and Van Gogh.

Unfortunately, she was the black sheep of her family. Never truly valued by her side of the family to the extent of being deeply betrayed. The most beautiful soul to grace Earth. I wish she never hurt- I tried to take the pain away. She ended up taking her life through the bottle. The lyrics speak true. This world was never meant for someone as beautiful as you. Love you Mommy. ❤️

Ask Him to, whether you are thinking of it in the moment or not, to turn that *energy* and *love* into something positive for your brother, for others who suffer, for the world, and for yourself. I've read that grief is love with nowhere to go. Give it to God to disperse where it is most needed. It isn't in vain. {{{hugs}}}

My brother, a minister, died by suicide in 1996. He was concieved before our parents were married. They did their best to hide that fact from everyone. My mother had a lot of shame about it. While never openly discussed, he knew. We all knew. He was in a loveless marriage when he died. In his suicide note he said, " I never felt like I belonged". He was a kind a gentle soul. Hated guns but bought one and shot himself in the heart. That's where all of his pain was concentrated. I miss him still.

My fourth grade teacher used to sing this to our class. The man was incredibly gifted. I do not exaggerate when I say that he rivaled even Don McLean himself. He lost his son about ten years ago. He was only 19. But none of us could tell anything was wrong. He still had the same infectious smile and jovial sense of humor. I learned a couple of years ago that this completely broke him emotionally. The man was the living embodiment of the masks of comedy and tragedy. I still don't know if it's true, but I heard he's never celebrated the holidays without him. Every Christmas he'd come into his classroom and just work. I just wanted to leave this comment here on the off chance he sees this (KZbin was a new, exciting thing when he taught us). He was truly the greatest teacher I've ever had. I know this song is about another tortured soul, but I'll always attribute this to him. Happy holidays. You don't have to suffer for your sanity. We all love you.

Vincent never sold a painting while alive (one “sale” was a token friendly gesture)...his younger brother financially supported his passion which he only developed as an adult...and none of the details and paintings of Vincent’s life would have survived and become treasures of humanity had it not been for the dogged work of a young single mother name Jo who was Vincent’s SIL. When considering his mental illnesses, it’s mind-boggling to think how many opportunities existed for Van Gogh’s art to have never been made or discovered by the world...and yet, here we are, listening to a powerful song about a man whose work moves us like no other...

And then I suddenly remembered all those times when I was still a kid and this song would play on the radio, I remember him telling me that this is my song and/or that he named me after this song, and back then I just nodded and listened peacefully. Now that I'm 25, it really touches me whenever I hear this because I now always think that he named me after this song because I am born with inborn physical parts and that he really thought of this song when he first saw me as a baby. And it breaks my heart when I get the chance to listen to this once in a while because I remember all the bullying people did to me and how hard it was for me to accept myself, even now... All of those wishes and what ifs instantly comes running back in my mind. This song just straight up bring me sorrows of the past and fear of the future, it shouts my experience growing up in this world. However, it also kinda radiates a bittersweet hope for me. I want this song to be played at my funeral.

Always reach out, embrace whatever experiences and friendships you can find in groups getting to know as many people as you can so you can see the friendships out there for you. Maybe teach, so that your light can encourage young people and others with challenges so that you can share the hope it inspired. God Bless you my Brother, Iive your Best Life every day !!! Seize it and it's yours !!! 🙏✌️🏆

This applies to the brother I never had. The person I was closest to in this world. He was an incredible potter. In 1980 his pottery was exhibited at The Design Centre in London. As well as being brilliant at everything he did. On the 16th December 1997 he phoned me to apologise prior to taking his life. When ever I hear Vincent I think of William R. Pyke 20/02/1959 to 16/12/1997. God I Have Missed Him Everyday Since Then.

I'm an Artist too, when I was unemployed for four months was the happiest days of my life. Didn't have a care in the world. Spent all night painting and all day sleeping. I can't wait till I retire so I have time to do my real work. I simply can't wait to get old so I can sit in my chair and do what I do best. Some Artist's were blessed for what they do, some never were like Vincent, and most of us will never will be in our lifetime. But it's not why we do this, we do it because we have to, because we are a human recorder of God's glory. God gave every Artist a spit of his creativity and it's a powerful force, it can work against you if you don't use it right. I keep wondering what Vincent did to make it not work for him. If you don't respect that creative force within you it will eat you alive.

You understand. So many don't. When I was young, I loved Van Gogh as many teenagers idolized Elvis. I was always quirky and drew all the time. Never worried about college because I was going to be an artist. I'm 80 and have always been. My passion was drawing nature and history, striving to tell others to love their world and time. I also love through music. When Don Maclean's Vincent was released, it was too beautiful to take it all in, then the video. Goose bumps every time I watch it. When I saw the notice of your podcast, curiosity made me click. In the beginning, your reaction was as I expected. I admire how you struggled to understand and by the end, feel so happy to have watched. You are far from stupid. You are sympathetic and wise. You get it and are one of the millions who love Vincent ❤

Last weekend we went to the Van Gogh exhibit in Brighton, one of the many wonders I've enjoyed since moving to the UK, and I was not prepared for how moving the whole experience was. Afterward, on the trip home, we put spotify on and listened to this song, and my wife was overwhelmed with tears, and I heard the song with new ears. What an incredible tribute to such an amazing artist, who never knew how much his art, which was rejected constantly in his lifetime, would grow in popularity.

There are many artists in this world I both love and respect but none as much as Vincent.

In my opinion, Don McLean is one of of the most underrated song writers in history, his songs and lyrics so inspired that they will only become recognized for the classics they are in the fullness of time. From "American Pie" to "And I Love You So," even great singers as Roberta Flack sang songs like "Killing Me Softly With His Song" to him, virtual love letters to the brilliance of his music and song. The human body ages, then dies. But rest assured, the brilliance of Don McLean will last through the ages.

Today is Vincent's birthday. I first heard this song in my teens and loved the song but wondered who Vincent was. Once I learned the meaning of the song as it relates to Van Gogh's life, I vowed to someday see his paintings in person. Visiting the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam a few years ago, I had tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat and as I walked through, I felt such a beautiful sadness. My girlfriend who loved to draw and sketch recently committed suicide and now I have an ever deeper understanding of what he was trying to say to me and yes, even more sadness.

"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 color, 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."

So many years ago , around ‘67 in SanFran. I was introduced to the work of Van Gogh. I was sitting in the lobby of a cheap hotel waiting for my date ( who didn’t show). This quiet older man came over and shared his book of Van Gogh’s art. I’ll never forget the impression I was left with, especially one piece called “The Potato Eaters”. For this young girl, it opened up a naïve little heart to the sadness and poverty In a world not known . The man had an understanding and a great love for that artist. This song reminds me of how we can share our love with complete strangers. And make a difference in someone’s life by a chance meeting . So Vincent, your work was never in vain. Thank you

Man, each time I come back and listen to this song I'm always drawn back into researching Van Gogh's life, this time I found something that's very sad, but also makes me aware of another issue that could be the case. Most people know he shot himself, but they don't know he suffered for over a day before succumbing to his injury. His brother was at his side in his final moments, trying to comfort and encourage him, reassuring him that they would still try to help him recover. At the mention of this, Van Gogh's next and final words to him were "The sadness will last forever." implying that he had no desire to live any longer in his agony. You'll often hear stories of suicide survivors immediately regretting their attempt and desiring to keep moving forward with their life, but Vincent Van Gogh's suffering was so great that even after all the extra time he was given, the weights on his life were so great that he still did not wish to bear it any longer. His life was burdened and painful for him, yet his art and expression so beautiful. And he was ignored. I wonder how many more stories like this have been lost, or how many stories like this are still to come, where pain and struggling plague them and their true beauty is not revealed until after their passing.

Hi, i've actually heard this throughout my life and i appreciate you informing it....but there are many theories stating that Vincent in fact did not shoot himself. He had supposedly shot himself with a large hunting type gun(sorry idk exactly the gun but it was pretty large) he shot himself in an area where its practically impossible to shoot himself. It actually impossible. Its most lilely someone who might have had issues with him shot him, but vincent was a compassionate man and came into the inn saying not to blame anyone that it was his fault, but why would he assure this unless someone indeed was to blame. Thd doctor also didnt hel much with his case because its suspected that he didnt really like vincent for envious reasons You can find a lot more info on this from the National Geographic article about his life and the painted documentary Loving Vincent which is amazing btw

This is a man who not only can sing exquisitely, but a man who can create unmatched beauty in his words. I don't know of any other poet who can move my heart to this degree. What an American treasure. What a treasure to the world.

She had a difficult life , she was a gorgeous young free spirit lady but she had several traumas. Her last gift to me was a very rare correspondance between Theo and Vincent Van Gogh ... She was loving and mentally very disturbed but I love her more than ever. Starry night for you Mom, repose en paix. ❤

Automatically played instruments as if he had years of practice!! Thoughtful, loving and considerate. Made lasting impressions on most he met. On 2/27/23 at the ripe age of 27 God called him home as he sacrificed his life to save a life. When asked for music for the funeral this was most poignant.
