______
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.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

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 field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

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.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...

Now that's a great cover, gorgeous soft voice, really gave weight to the words, the guitar blended nicely behind the voice. Thanks.

OnlyAneas antwortet: Dies ist mein erster, offizieller Post im Jahr 2009 - ÄTSCH.

Ich liebe den Song ... Hey Kris - alles Gute für 2009. Mögen deine Wünsche in Erfüllung gehen - und Danke für deine Musik.

[PinkPenTroll]

This is certainly a rarely beautiful song with lyrics like sheer poetry. Your performance is filled with such a raw intensity and nerv that you could slice the air with a knife. Marvellous and more : )

[orangejunk20]

Thank you for your comment. It means a lot :)

[bobboberan]

[myriaa]

Beautiful.

[evewrites3]

You have a wonderful passion and a rare talent.

[ThePrudencedear]

How underrated ~ Don McLean? How talented are you? Beautiful rendition of this historical song. It belongs to you ~ I like that. You make me feel with this ~ Thanks.

[imitatefirst]

Thank you - I like that you let the song, . . . exist on its own. The words and music are the focus, combining to evoke a feeling of loving, longing melancholy. I will definitely listen to more of your tunes. Bravo!

[milosweeney]

well my old son ya pulled this 1 off to a t,,,excellent pal,,,10/10

[godofredo8]

I mexican, i'm sorry if i can't write right the inglish. Hey! The song is beautiful. Your voice to.

[FabianBajorat]

Bin über Will King's Seite auf dich gestoßen.

Zum Song: Gesang: mangelhaft.

Gitarre: sauber und gut!

Aussprache Englisch: unbedingt verbesserungswürdig.

Wenn du schon so einen schwierigen Song coverst, solltest du dafür sorgen, dass du dann die Töne triffst und keine halben Sachen ablieferst. (mochte deine improvisationen!)

Sieht so aus, als ob du ihn zu wenig geübt hast...

Werd mir aber mals was von deinen Originalen anhören.

Nicht böse sein, alles konstruktive Kritik...

Gruss, Fabian

einfach schön, kris
