Hello friends! Happy holidays! Here's another update of one I covered years ago (one of the first covers I did on my channel, I think!). It's snowed here in Ireland for the first time in a while, so though this may not be a festive song it's been on my mind anyhow. Stay safe and warm out there!

I am Gobsmacked.
Very soulful music ! You are very talented in both playing guitar and singing.
A beautiful song…thanks for the reminder. The most touching song Don ever wrote…
Great job this is a very favorite song of mine.👍❤️
Dear Sammy, your covers are so beautiful, I think it is worth to release an album of them. Alone again, Love of my life and others, and else this one just great and very melodical.
I'm 61 year old guitar hack who has played guitar for 45+ years. I have always wanted to attempt this song. You did a mighty fine job Sammy. Very well played. Signed, the old guy.
As an 80 year old guitar amateur who's tried to play for 65 years , I never had the nerve to try this song. Never even knew what the song was about until I visited the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam back jn 1973. So all I can do is say this young lady is great !!
Nice 😊
I am 52 years of age
and I have heard this song
a hundred times or more
and I have never heard
this song until today.
I thank you for this.
You heard it a hundred times before.
Some people don’t get it
@@jeff4invest go read a book, bro. you clearly need it 💀
Bless you
Oh man.. I did not expect to be in tears, audibly sobbing, listening to you play a song i have heard a hundred times before by a countless number of singers both famous and obscure, novice and expert alike. Thank you for this. If you can bring someone who is running around extremely busy caught in the last minute rush of this holiday season to stop and listen to with nothing more than an acoustic guiitar and a voice to a song about a tortured and inspired genius that was Van Gogh and writen so eloquently by Don Mclean, then that's a rare gift you possess. That's a super power. Merry Christmas .
Beautifully written
Don McLean would be so proud. Well delivered. You did justice to the feeling the song should be sung with.
Oh my! What a captivating performance! You have the perfect tender voice for such a beautiful lyric! So, so well done!
He is still alive mate and still can be proud if he watch this performance :)
words cannot describe how happy i got when i saw that sammy covered this song😊💞
yes!! same here!
likewise!
@sadweeb35 You can be my good friend.
I was 7 years old when this song first played on the radio. Loved it then...still love it now. And even more hearing Sammy's take on this beloved classic. ❤🎼❤
Indeed quite a lovely song, however sammy's pronouns are he/they
@@whiteviolin4558 Thank you, Shall correct.
@@stargazer1359 just wanted to let you know that your respectful response made my day 😊

I guess I was about 4 years old when this song came out. But I remember it well as my parents played it throughout the 70s along with American Pie, of course. Sammy's cover, so well done, brings back a lot of good memories.
One of my favorite songs. Thank you for the hauntingly beautiful Cover. Sammy, you’re truly a treasure.
I spend a lot of time just surfin' the 'tube, probably way more than I should. And every once in a while, you stumble upon something here that is absolutely stunning. I've loved that tune since McLean wrote it. I've listened to what, maybe 15 or 20 covers. I have never seen anyone else perform it in such a wonderfully evocative way. The playing, the facial expressions, the little improvs, all add to the beauty of it. Words fail me. I will admit I think I got something in my eye about halfway thru. Thanks for this superb interpretation, Sammy. Bravo!
You open an old mans heart when you cover a song like this with such sensitivity . Thank You .
Same here! 😊
Wow, Sammy !! This song was written to be emotionally poignant. Nothing is lost in your cover. In fact, your voice and care for this song allow it to touch our hearts. Thanks for these moments, Sammy.
i don’t think you realize how much i love this song and how comforting is it to hear it sung by you!! my heart is filled with joy. thank you sammy
Wunderbar - ich habe den Song bestimnt 20 Jahre nicht mehr gehört, und dann wird er so wunderschön vorgetragen...😢
Dear Sammy, I am not sure how you do it, but you do somehow manage to distill the essence of these songs we have heard so many times. You make me hear them anew, and that is a very beautiful and powerful thing. Thanks for what you do, it is truly magical!
So much emotion invoked. your ability to convey so much pain in your singing, also while keeping your voice hardly above a whisper is just phenomenal. Thanks Sammy for this beautiful cover and making a sad night meaningful..
I discovered that song 25 years ago when that song was already 25 years old. Glad to see the music hasn't died, as Don McLean so adamantly protested in American Pie the same year. I love the feeling you give this song. Makes me wonder if you are thinking of someone more personal to you than Vincent van Gogh when you spill your heart to us with his lyrics. Thanks Sammy!
Beautiful cover. This song has always struck me about how tender and lovely it is regarding one vulnerable, tourmented suffering and brillant painter, as much as people paint to tribute Vincent Van Gogh, I always thought this song was the best kind tribute, and I really hope there's some place, elsewhere, where he has heard it and cries of happiness. Brillant tribute Sammy.
Just beautiful ! Thank you 😊
Sammy is new to me and her take on this Don McLean classic brought tears to my eyes. It amazes me that this song, from the 1970’s, was noticed and covered so well by someone so young. I truly hope that, somehow, this cover is brought to Don McLean’s attention. Were I he, I would be flattered and comforted to have one of my songs covered, so well, by someone that was likely born 30 years after its initial release. Bravo, Sammy!!
yeah, their voice is amazing, as well as their guitar skills!
This is the most soulful version I have ever heard. I'm so emotional right now listening to this. 😢
Sammy that was fecking wonderful - you have the ability to inhabit your covers so thoroughly that they sound like they belong to you.
Kudos x
Bonjour Sammy, vous êtes solaire ! Au delà, du fait que vous chantiez si bien et que vous ayez une voix magnifique, il se dégage une belle sérénité et une grande paix de vos vidéos. Merci !
Don McLean would have tears of joy and emotion listening to how much feeling you Put in That
Dioooos, Sammy, wow simplemente no tengo palabras... siempre logras tocar mi alma, tuz voz me llena de tantos sentimientos, eres espectacular. Recuerdo haber escuchado tu cover de hace algunos años y me encanta ver el progreso que has tenido, pero algo que definitivamente has logrado desde siempre, es transmitirnos toda la pasión y amor que se puede encontrar en la música. Gracias por esto, Sammy 😭😭😭💕
I'm so glad you covered this! First time I heard the tune, elementary school: we did a section on art, learned a basic outline of Van Gogh's life, watched a video of some of his more famous paintings set to the original of this song. I cried, and was teased for months about it. But I still have a really special love for this song. You cover it so beautifully, Sammy. Lovely work.
The song reels off eternally on my mind. It is more than beauty.
I’m a 67 year old guitar “holder” and have led worship in my church for over 25 years and tears came to my eyes when you paused before the part “when no hope was left inside”. You are a blessing from God and He has gifted you with such a pure sweet and tender voice as well as gentle guitar technique. You have blessed me this cold November morning in central Texas.
My name came from this song, I havent heard this played more beautifully. Thank you
Sammy is a gift that keeps giving.
Bravo Sammy. Saw the title an automatically grabbed my open back headphones to hear the emphasis in your beautiful voice and talent.
Absolutely wonderful...I saw Don live in B'ham in the 70's with my sister ..he would love this one 👍👌👏👏👏
Absolutely Beautiful. You’ve made my day. You made me cry. Tears that needed to be released. God Bless You
just couldn't stop listening to it, it instantly went into my favourites. Beautiful, heartfelt performance.
This song fits you like a glove. I loved your first cover, but this one... the fingerpicking, your subtle ways adressing the melody, it's pure magic. Thank you for revisiting this one, Sammy. Peace and love.
No puedo decir cuánto me haz hecho sentir en estos minutos. Amo con todo el corazón esa canción y el hecho que la hayas cantado es algo maravilloso para mí, tu voz trasmite todo, me hace llorar, te amo sammy, nunca dejes de cantar por favor 🥺💞
Omg I loved this song when I was a teenager and then completely forgot about it! So good.
I want to hear you sing it.
Such a beautiful voice, I could listen to you sing all day long. Have a gentle Angel voice that can sooth the soul. You play that guitar beautifuly.
Mesmerizing rendition.You express the tragedy of the lyrics so well. Lovely lovely voice. Thank You.
это потрясающе!!! я включила ваше видео в колонках, и эта песня играла так громко, что я погрузилась в неё полностью.. насколько тёплый голос!! спасибо большое за ваше творчество. буду включать по вечерам в трудные дни ваши песни и находить в них уют и спокойствие ♡ :)
just brilliant...the articulation, the fluidity of your voice is incredible.
Thank you Sammy Copley. First time I heard this I was 18 and it brought me tears. God Bless you Sammy and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
this is one of the songs i connect with the loss of my sibling and hearing your stunning voice singing these lyrics has brightened my morning so immensely
❤❤❤
wow, fantastic. Great to hear someone so young perform that classic song that I remember so well from my teenage years. Well done. I look forward to hearing more of your work.
I haven’t even listened and already know it’s beautiful
Edit: it was more beautiful 😢
One of the BEST Vincent covers I've ever heard if not the best. Thank you
What a gift, its not to often I get tears in my eyes listening to a song.
This is just perfect. The whole song has a wonderful intimacy and tenderness to it, but the hushed dynamics on the last verse pulled me in and brought tears to my eyes. One of the best covers of anything I've ever heard. Thank you.
i love how you snap your fingers at the start like "oi watch this" and then you start playing the most beautiful rendition of Vincent i have ever heard
Please never ever give up your journey through music. You have the magic to bring out emotions in your tender voice and playing that touches folks in ways few can ever replicate.❤
Superbe interprétation merci pour ce moment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wie großartig & wundervoll Deine Interpretation 🙏. Ich bin so dankbar, nachts um 3:04 Uhr. Manchmal führt Schlaflosigkeit zu schönsten Geschenken 🎁, so wie heute.
Danke für diese Bereicherung - so wunderschön und pur.
Happy new year ❣
Breath of fresh air in this angry world! Thank You!
Wonderful!!!!💜💜💜💜💜thank you!!!
Absolutely brilliant cover .. heard this tune a million times by a million different singers but you really got me .. well done.
Such emotion! Brought a genuine tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful! 🥰 I was 14 when this incredible Don McLean song was released. When I was 15, I visited the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and saw "Starry Night" in person. My parents had taken me there before when I was a child, but at this new moment, I was looking at art with sensitive eyes and a passionate heart. I never looked back. Thank you Don!
Fantastic - absolutely. BRAVO.
Australia here listening to you singing Vincent on the last day of 2022 and just reflecting. It's just one of those perfect songs, and sung, if I may say so, beautifully. Thank you.
..thank you Sammy for tears in my old tired eyes
..god bless you
Bloody hell, that's beautiful. Back in the 70s/80s I listened to American Pie, as a shy and reclusive teenager, over and over. Thank you for your incredibly touching version.
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO. BRAVO!!!! You played and sang it with the emotion of the words that was mean to be played and sing. 🎶 You made it come alive!!!! Tears 😭 BEAUTIFULLY performed!!!! BRAVO!!!! Thank you!!!! INSPIRING!!!!
One of my favourite singers in the world, singing one ofy favourite songs of all time? It truly must be Christmas
Greetings wee Sammy. Tis Anthony from Glasgow. I trust yer keepin warm over there. Been a real dreich day here. Last I dropped in on ye was a live stream. Ah dinnae ken if ye remember it. But I want ye to know this song here, yer stamp on it . . . I'm spellbound. Just lovely beyond words. I closed me eyes and it transported me over the highlands. Ye made me day thrice over. Haste ye back, wee Sammy.
🍀⛄🌹⛄🍀
magic... "...this world has never meant for one as beautiful as you..."
Phenomenal. Thank you so much. It brought tears to my eyes, especially to see someone young of your generation with your heart and soul filled touching beautiful voice discovering Don's songs. I've been a fan since American Pie came out with this in 1972 and sung and played his songs on my guitar since then. I saw him about 5 times in New York City in the 1970s. I really loved listening to you singing and playing this song tonight. Funny how you discover someone who so many people already know.
I love this song since when i was a child.. nice cover and so cool..
I don't know how but every song you cover is on my favorites list.
ive listened to this 5 or 6 times and have concluded that this is the best rendition of " vincent" i have ever heard, including the original. bravo
Utterly mesmerizing. I had the privilege of seeing some of Vincent's works at the art centre in Chicago. I didn't understand the depth of the beauty until I saw a play a few months back detailing his letters to his brother Theo. This song has haunted me since, and your cover is truly special. My favorite alongside Alone Again, naturally
This makes me so calm and so happy you have no idea this is the best cover of any song everr
Love all of the beautiful nuances in your voice as well as your guitar playing! Wow!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Nice job.
I hadn't listen to your covers for months, i used to work and rest with those. To discover new ones is just super heartwarming. Keep going please.
One of my all time favorite songs… sung with so much emotion. This felt so warm like being embrassed by your voice and the beautiful melody. Stay safe and all the best for 2023.
mellow voice !! so nice to meet the song again. thank you
Best version of this song you can find on UA-cam (including the original). By far!
Found Sammy by complete fluke covering both sides now on tic tok, and I've been listening everyday since, congrats on your EP, you have a great expressive quality that can stop people in their tracks.
It's a long and very personal story to explain why but finding this video from you at this moment feels like the universe telling me "see how far you've come these last few years!" It really made my day even though this week has been very difficult for me. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
We’ll done!! You definitely have talent!! I love your voice, it’s not overpowering, just soft and beautiful!!❤❤❤
Just beautiful. What a fantastic cover.
Such a beautiful voice🤦♀️❤️
I want you to sing for me when I go to sleep❤️❤️❤️
Thank you and love you from Japan🇯🇵
This made me cry. No words that do good to your performance. Thank you
Your guitar playing has gotten so good! Lovely guitar too!
I'm so glad that you covered this song!! I think I started listening to this style of music after watching some of your other covers, and I love it. So being able to hear your version is awesome!!! :)))
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and one of the best performances of it. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
one of the most beautiful covers of a song that is on my desert island list. pure voice with some mist. lovely guitar playing. I've never heard of you before but I am a subscriber now.
the real deals, beautifull song, beautiful voice
This song is the greatest tribute to a very talented tortured soul. It always brings tears to my eyes. No exceptions here! Outstanding!
The first time I heard this song was back in the late 90s, the punk band NOFX did a pretty great cover of Vincent. I like this take on it even better.
UA-cam algo served you up to me on a Roku TV. Really loved the softness, tenderness, authenticity, vulnerability here. Love how you get a bit lost in the song at times, which speaks to the authenticity. I've not seen a better cover, and I enjoyed yours more than even an original. I also like that you put the lyrics on screen. I have watch several of your videos now. Very nice. Like and a sub, of course.
Edit: Oh, and maybe you'd cover Bee Gees "I started a Joke." It seems to be a good fit for the songs you're covering. Allie Sherlock covered it well (see that) but your delivery of it would be very nice I imagine.
I am loving your covers recently!! You are making me emotional.
one of my favourite songs. Charmin own version. Magic!
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you sooo much!! 😊❤️
absolutely beautiful, tears in my eyes, but good ones. your voice is like a soft gentle breeze and the humanity you bring out in your music touches the depth of the soul...bravo
Beautiful. I as a listener have no right to criticise anyone but I can comment and people covering classic and emotional songs have my respect. Here, you sing this with heart and soul and "get" the meaning of the song - magnificent x
OMG, what a great cover of this song! Great finger picking and such a sweet voice. You sure elevated this song to an amazing level.
Wow. Just wow.❤
Wow. I was 17 when that song came out. It was a moving song then. You have added a fresh take on it which is equally moving. Very nice!
never heard of this song or this artist until now. Thanks for your beautiful cover.
Oh my, that was simply beautiful! The feeling and emotion that flow from your voice and your guitar are amazing. I loved this! Thank you so much!
