didn't have as much appreciation for Van Gogh's work until I read the book "Lust for life" (my favorite book. What a beautiful and lovely soul was he.... and so sad and tortured life he had... he saw the beauty in everything and just wanted to be loved and never found it :(
A beautiful representation of suffering...he never knew what an artist he really was. We should all appreciate people before they are gone. I love your artwork, Vincent.
"My heart weeps every time I listen to this amazing song about a man who what he felt.. "he wasn't every commissioned to paint an image on a wall in some metropolitan setting... "No, he painted to survive, he painted to breath, he needed to paint so that he can make sense of his turbulent existence... "For me "Vincent was the Painting and everything else was just a by-product of who he was...Starry Starry Night... My friend Vincent...
This song makes me cry every time I hear it..I wish there could have been more hope and help for Vincent Van Gogh back in those days..the only help and relief he had was in his painting..rest in peace
today my 6 year old daughter told me about an artist that painted the stars and he was sick in his mind and he hurt his ear and sent it to his girlfriend. and she really loved his work. when i told her that his name was vincent van gogh she said YES .. i told her there was a song written about him.. i will show her this.. this is a wonderful example of his work and the music offcourse perfectly frames the artists.. i hope she will understand. she's a smart kid.. if she doesnt .. she will soon.
if he was in this world today....he would probably be treated the same way...no one knows how to look or listen anymore....no one can live form their heart anymore....
Thank you for posting this. I always loved Van Gogh's works,although I am familiar with his work, there were so many that I have never seen before! What a great way to help patients heal thru art.
we live in a world where people want everything to be perfect. They want things to be just like what they see on tv....next time you come across someone, don't judge him by his looks or by what people think of him... take some time to know him ... perhaps beneath that ravaged cover theres a beautiful story awaiting to be read...give him a chance.
I'm 1012 years old. I met Vincent once. He truly had an amazing gift to see things in a different way. I also gave him a hope that he desperately needed.
@pancakesarebetter i don't understand why so many kids feel they have to include their age when they comment on older music. You don't have to make yourself out to be some amazing kid who has gone against the grain of modern music to listen to older music. music is music know matter how old you are
It's very sad, you can see him going slowly insane by looking at his pictures as time progresses, look at starry starry night, no sane person sees like that. I wish we had him longer then we did RIP Vincent Van Gogh
The slideshow is worthy of the song - there are several paintings included which I've not seen before, and I thought I was a Vincent fan. Many thanks.
This song has grown in meaning to me throughout my life, and only now do I finally, finally after the death of my own brother, also far too beautiful for this world, "get it." This world is just not good enough...yet, as those asinine 201 (and no doubt counting) prove. Van Gogh was an artist and so is McLean; they just make their ever poignant pictures in different ways.
@Amechryst Takes pain to make a lot of us get it on a whole lot of things. May you find peace in life and remember the joy your brother brought you through the sadness.
As much as I appreciate the paintings, it feels like the maker of the video was just trying to get as many paintings in the video as possible. It doesn't have the same "flow" as the song. You get too easily distracted by the paintings when you realize you have to pay attention. And it takes away from the song. So it's a thumbs down from me, sorry.
@Homeport1989 Why do I have to read these bs comments with any good song? Let's agree that the song is indeed beautiful, but what does it matter that you are "strong"? Are you trying to say that you are cold? Cynical? Emotionally unavailable? Real men can cry when they hear or see beauty. They can also not cry and just appreciate the song. Or if the song is not in their taste, they can do whatever they want. What real men don't say is something along the lines of what you said.
Okay guys,bottom line is this.Vincent was one of the most brilliant minds of his time,with paintings shook the world.The only bad thing was that Vincent was never recognized in his time,which eventually drove him into insanity and caused him to commit suicide.Which would make you wonder,what would have happened if he was famous during his time?
I love this song, for some reason it is playing now within my head! Colored with all that I would paint, I can see the colors, they play also within my head, and they become the work at hand! The Visual is never as what I am seeing now! Thank you for this song, Van Gogh, is one of the greatest Artist, and sometimes wonder what this World is meant for, do they only like your pain, and with saying that, I paint, yet nothing touches the World of Van Gogh! <3 <3 <3
Really this music is so rich and beautiful, how can anyone share toxic language regardless of their taste, the trolls will rule if you let them from under the bridge, leave em alone. God Bless all.
rsb409, I rest my case. This correspondence is now officially closed, as I do not want to start the new year speaking about talentless idiots like ... Amy Winehouse aka Miss Tattoo/Alcoholic, Justin Bieber aka Babyface, or, you've guessed it - Lady Gaga aka Miss Meat Dress/Madonna Wannabe. This forum is supposed to hail REAL artists like ... Don McLean, Freddie Mercury, Elvis Presley, David Gates, Jim Croce, Neil Diamond, Dusty Springfield, etc., etc.
So I am 18 years old and I can't help to "like" some crap my generation is listening to for it is fun. But hardly any music of nowadays will get even close to how beautiful this song is.
I may actually like a few of Lady Gaga's songs, but... her stuff isn't this. It's not the same level of art as Don Mclean's work. They're beyond compare. Gaga's stuff might be fun to dance to, but these songs are fun to think to. To live to. To write or paint to.
lol the joke is on us for trying to over analyze this shit. he was just a crazy mother fucker painting things that he saw around him. no deeper meaning behind, it was just a picture to him, he is just a product of popular media trying to overanazlyze his work just so the "academics" could have something to study
@ThePrincess4569 This is just not so. I understand the viewpoint though because I used to feel that way too. It was a matter of having too simplistic vision though. You can't begin to imagine the truth and beauty captured in a creative's imagery. I completely disagree that art is academic. It's not something that can be broken down or explained. This is coming from an atheist: other than great works of math and physics, great art is the closest thing we come to seeing God.
Why are all of you putting @WinterFox333 down? The most beautiful thing about music is that the meaning can be shaped and molded into relating too many differant things people are feeling. Why do you come on here to argue? I came to listen to a amazing song, just take a step back and relax. Enjoy the song.
To: @WinterFox333 good for you for speeking your opinion, that is a characteristic many people lack.
@morganvshepard Yes, I'm going to have to agree with you. I suppose he' s had enough shunning, and that we all have different opinions, and yes there is no point in arguing over something that has already been proven wrong. We should enjoy the song.
P.S. This is not to say that I believe myself totally free of blame.
I am experiencing a VERY despodent night I have an appt. w/my therapist in the am. The holidays SUCKK! If there wsn't such a stigma attached to mental illness, perhaps we wouldn't have so many suicides. 1 in 4 americans suffer from mental illness. Just open your mouth * let it be known. No shame in that!
@TheMustangsally75 "Just open your mouth * let it be known. No shame in that!" If only it were that simple. : / I hope you have a safe a happy holiday season.
this song was about a gay man who came out.. and they way his family and friends responded drove him to suicide its written through the eyes of his lover....at least this is what my mother told me ... and it makes sense to me...lol...
@WinterFox333 Your mother was completely wrong, he was actually a schizophenic who struggled with his sanity all his life, and was astrosized by society. The main reason for all of his portraits of people, was cause it was the only way he could get any human interaction. There is a book written on his life, its very interesting read.
@WinterFox333 Then your mother has no idea what the song is about nor can she be considered a fan of Don McLean. The song, as Don McLean said when questioned in multiple interviews, was written on the life of Vincent Van Gogh who struggled with Mental Illness and shot himself, resulting in his death two days later... I suggest you search the song and the meaning and get an understanding of it... references in the song (e.g. 'the weathered faces') refer to his works of art during his life.
@WinterFox333 Maybe your mom knew him when he lived. Did your mother live in 18th century French or Holland? Must have been a real art buff because not many people knew him before he was dead. Well live and learn.
@WinterFox333 Your mother is a sick person, you know that right? You are more disgusting for simply agreeing with such an immature and blind point of view.
Guess what? I'm from your generation and I DONT CARE A FUCKING BIT about who is "better" or "more deep". Both Gaga and Mc Lean wrote songs that will be admired to by every generation. So, if you like gaga better, why r u even listening to this. If you like Mc Lean, great. No one cares. GRRR -.-
@grismanmangris What's wrong with being a virgin? I'm not defending him or anything. I just wonder why being a virgin is something so terrible that it should be used as an an insult everywhere. More virgins means less babies, at least, right?
My blood boils when the ignoranuses of today ( read : the mongrel race ) compare THIS classic to a whore who dresses up in meat dresses to prove a point : that she will always be a living zero.
@cytotoxix ignoramus and mongrel race? are you really the type person who would say such a thing as that? everything negative you feel about others is in direct relation to how you feel about yourself. You have much to learn.
@cytotoxix Why would you let someones opinion make your blood boil? 7 billion people in the world, you think people aren't going to have different opinions? Let it go!
'Lets have some fun this beat is sick...i want to take a ride on your disco stick'
Just incase the gaga fans are dumb downed sheep lemme help you.... shes basically saying i want to ride your cock....now if you think thats deep lyrics then i am seriously gna consider burning my house down in an atempt to release this frustrasion within me.... why am i frustrated? Coz my 5 year old cousin sister listens to her and has no idea what the fuck disco stick means!!

lol the joke is on us for trying to over analyze this shit. he was just a crazy mother fucker painting things that he saw around him. no deeper meaning behind, it was just a picture to him, he is just a product of popular media trying to overanazlyze his work just so the "academics" could have something to study

@ThePrincess4569 This is just not so. I understand the viewpoint though because I used to feel that way too. It was a matter of having too simplistic vision though. You can't begin to imagine the truth and beauty captured in a creative's imagery. I completely disagree that art is academic. It's not something that can be broken down or explained. This is coming from an atheist: other than great works of math and physics, great art is the closest thing we come to seeing God.

Why are all of you putting @WinterFox333 down? The most beautiful thing about music is that the meaning can be shaped and molded into relating too many differant things people are feeling. Why do you come on here to argue? I came to listen to a amazing song, just take a step back and relax. Enjoy the song.
To: @WinterFox333 good for you for speeking your opinion, that is a characteristic many people lack.

@morganvshepard Yes, I'm going to have to agree with you. I suppose he' s had enough shunning, and that we all have different opinions, and yes there is no point in arguing over something that has already been proven wrong. We should enjoy the song.
P.S. This is not to say that I believe myself totally free of blame.

I am experiencing a VERY despodent night I have an appt. w/my therapist in the am. The holidays SUCKK! If there wsn't such a stigma attached to mental illness, perhaps we wouldn't have so many suicides. 1 in 4 americans suffer from mental illness. Just open your mouth * let it be known. No shame in that!

@WinterFox333 Your mother was completely wrong, he was actually a schizophenic who struggled with his sanity all his life, and was astrosized by society. The main reason for all of his portraits of people, was cause it was the only way he could get any human interaction. There is a book written on his life, its very interesting read.

@WinterFox333 Then your mother has no idea what the song is about nor can she be considered a fan of Don McLean. The song, as Don McLean said when questioned in multiple interviews, was written on the life of Vincent Van Gogh who struggled with Mental Illness and shot himself, resulting in his death two days later... I suggest you search the song and the meaning and get an understanding of it... references in the song (e.g. 'the weathered faces') refer to his works of art during his life.

@WinterFox333 Maybe your mom knew him when he lived. Did your mother live in 18th century French or Holland? Must have been a real art buff because not many people knew him before he was dead. Well live and learn.

Guess what? I'm from your generation and I DONT CARE A FUCKING BIT about who is "better" or "more deep". Both Gaga and Mc Lean wrote songs that will be admired to by every generation. So, if you like gaga better, why r u even listening to this. If you like Mc Lean, great. No one cares. GRRR -.-

My blood boils when the ignoranuses of today ( read : the mongrel race ) compare THIS classic to a whore who dresses up in meat dresses to prove a point : that she will always be a living zero.

@cytotoxix Did you seriously just say "mongrel race"? Read a history book before you foul the air with that phrase again.

@cytotoxix ignoramus and mongrel race? are you really the type person who would say such a thing as that? everything negative you feel about others is in direct relation to how you feel about yourself. You have much to learn.
