True music and art (Don McLean and Van Gogh) is universal as the ideals as true models. To prove this here's a fact: Tupac Shakur had this playing by his hospital bedside after he was shot and before he eventually died.
@GFMx1 That is an interesting fact, I always knew Tupac Shakur was a rapper with a difference. His social commentary was brilliant and the fact this hearfelt song was playing when he passed away is somehow fitting.
Van Gogh's life and paintings gave us a brutal but honest portrayal of just what mental illness is really like. This is why his art has brought so much meaning to so many people...including me! :)
gawd, what masterpieces! I had to see it again. The Irises is an extremely complex painting. So rare for an artist to bat so high in creating masterworks.
Two great artist. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. The paintings are beautiful the colors are mesmerizing. Van Gogh's sunflowers are his most famed work, but there is more color and depth in his landscapes.
A brilliant video of 2 great artists, Van Gogh & Don Mclean. I heard Don sing this song live in Newcastle 22 years ago when I was a struggling art student...Thankyou for doing this. Makes me want to paint & sing. Wonderful
that was such a sweet treat. i had just listened to roberta flack singing "killing me softly" and there were comments about the song being about don mclean and it made me want to hear this beautiful, meloncholy song. beautiful video. thank you.
There are nearly 31,000 listening now.

I love Van Gogh. His art work is so emotional and sincere. Most of his art works are done last 10 years of his life.
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful choices.

Don McLean's famous song Starry Night, coupled with the gorgeous work of Vincent Van Gogh, and you produced a work of art that makes me cry.
Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

Agreed on the music. It just doesn't measure up to the art in any way, shape or form. But there arent many Vincent tribute songs to pick from...

Vincent was a truly great artist. Why does this have only 6,834 Views?... "they're not listening still"....

I aspire to be as good as Vincent, but I don't know how to get established as an artist. I either need an agent or a publicist.
