  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I have always liked the song but never knew of it's meaning. Seeing this slide show with the music put it all together for me. Wow! How beautiful! I got a lump in my throat and teary eyes. Time to watch it again. Great achievement. Thank you.

  • Adoro esta musica

  • 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 :(

  • dear @bitethis47 stop using the word him.

  • 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.

  • Very, very nice. But, could we plz see the painting, Starry, Starry night sooner in the vid?

  • @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
