This song is very special to my son and I. When my son was a baby he had horrible colic every night at dinner time. One night as he was screaming away "Vincent" came on the radio and he instantly stopped crying and he listened with a very serene look on his face. So the next day I went out and bought the cassette and every night when the screaming started I would play the song and he would calmed down and listen. I then just had it on repeat so the screaming didn't start at all. When he was in high school he painted me a beautiful painting of Starry Night and had learned to play "Vincent" on the guitar and that was my present for my birthday that year. To this day it is still the present I cherish most. And it always makes me tear up.
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there are some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people,
@@susanh3342 yeah she dose and Don McLean is such a lovely musician, i wish was here to see how beautiful our daughter has become. i do appreciate your kind words
Seeing him sing this live, as opposed to the recorded version, you can see and feel the words even more... So touching. Beautiful. Always tear up when I hear this one.
his vouce brings one back to the seventies, so much water in the morning atmaspheire, would walk and see the fedgins on the grass learning to explore out of their nest, we used to pick up the birds who hit the windows trying to migrate, , was a beautiful habatat, , so true he has one of the most soothing sound, a true poet! bounus his abitlitry to sing like a no other, his own sound, beautiful, so glad you can see how much we all care and remember you>3 a class act
The melody of this song makes its own rules. It's not bound by a straight time signature and tempo. It's deep, flowing, soft, and haunting. He sings it effortlessly. No one writes like this. This is truly a masterpiece. A musical story as opposed to my modern definition of a 'song'. Brilliant Mr. McLean. Just brilliant.
Years ago, before arthritis stopped me playing, I learned to play this song. I quickly discovered that there is no way to "keep time" with it. It's just a matter of feeling. And when one tries to set it to a strict time signature or tempo (to "quantize" the music), it loses its beauty.
Hello my friend, Are you British? I had my DNA test & to my amazement I'm 20% British. Welsh & Scottish 🍷🙏.From my mother's side. Take care ,🇫🇷🤗 Arnaud Bourbon Amaral
Vincent is the name of my good friend in high schl and also 3:31 in college ....i remember our happy days....praying for their health .....hoping they are still alive and singing..as i do now 2024...at 61yo.....really Love this great song also... Loving from the Philippines
Since I was a child this is one of the most beautiful ballads I have ever heard. Thank you Don McLean for this wonderful song. I am a big fan of you and Vincent van Gogh.
You should visit Auvers-sur-Oise, where is the Auberge where Vincent lived and shot himself, the cemetery where he and his brother are buried. It is a magic beautiful place!
St Vincent. Was Van Gogh's puesuit of burnout preaching and living the gospel of outrageous scandalous amazing grace. Was he canvasing within tent, Mr Painter Man Ra Ra Kaputin in new booties n puttees?

My wife and I were blessed to see Don in concert in a 1930’s theatre years ago and have a meet-and-greet afterwards. To see and hear him, to get to shake his hand and thank him for blessing us with his talent truly was an unforgettable evening. Timeless. The ages have not weathered his music one bit and it never will.
It is just called 'love'. But I wish he would watch the movie, which shows he did not kill himself, & was protecting arch villian egoitist maniac Gugauin.
For the longest time, I felt like there was no woman worth crying over. Nowadays, I cry over all of them. They are likely laughing, with another, you know.
HE HOOKED ME WITH "PIE"...I WAS 32....THAT WHOLE ALBUM WAS GENIUS. AT 83 I STILL A HUGE FAN OF LYRICS, MELODIES & RENDITIONS!!! I WISH HIM ONLY WELL....Y'ALL AS WELL
I'll never forget , in the fall of '79, seeing a poster advertising his concert in my home province the following January. He put on a fantastic solo show; I saw him ( with 2 accompanists ) again 2 or 3 years later; some of my best musical memories.
He is expressing a phenonmenom of our time which clearly, is a unique event in our lives. We enjoyed the colour of Van Gogh's life, and now we are able to listen to Don Mclean say what we couldn't possibly put into words and music and for this, I for one, am truly grateful. A wonderful song, impeccably sung, thank you Don Mc Lean.
Having a monster hit such as American Pie presents something of a dichotomy for a singer who has so much more to give. The majority of his fans probably have never listened to this song or his other beautiful songs written from the heart
I was first introduced to this song by Josh Groban’s version from 2001 which I really liked. But then I learned Don McLean wrote and sang the original song and fell in love with it. This song sung by Mr McLean remains one of my favorite songs of all time ❤
Don McLean and Harry Chapin, had the magic that could draw you into their lyrics, to live the words. Mesmerizing you might say. The world needs more talent like this.
I just got back from a museum in Sacramento. It was about Vincent Van Gogh. It was a three dimensional beautiful experience. My children and grandchildren took me , on the way I played this song to them ❤️♥️. This man is a beautiful poet beyond compare.
If you saw the movie about Vincent Van Gough, starring Kirk Douglas, you really have to appreciate this song even more! The song is exactly what Vincent Van Gough was about! Loved the movie! Kirk Douglas did a wonderful job portraying him!He really resembled him!
Age doesn't fade the shyness of your greatness, Don, because the brightness of your stars remain ablaze in the heart of the world, playing your songs till the end of time.
Beautiful... this song played over and over in my head when I was 7 years old, and I had to leave all my family in Scotland to move to England...then went through some very difficult traumas in England...this song pulled me through...and kept me strong...thanks Don...you are an inspiration to so many ...beautiful Vincent Van Gogh is my favourite painter too.
I've been reading a big thick bio of Van Gogh. This song since childhood has made me cry. I went to the Van Gogh emersive exhibit and sat crying. It felt odd but good to be in his work projected on walls and floor.
Being sooo familiar with insanity this song penetrated deep into my soul. Knowing the pain of the sufferer especially when we are so misunderstood and ignored. Our love is so pure, it's frightening to the human soul. I live on to listen. Thank you Mr. Van Gough. Blessings to all, love more, give less materialism. Peace, Grace and Mercy.
The Greatest Tribute ever written to a Great Artist and Master in a Most Beatiful, Lovely,Meaningful Song, Timeless and Unforgettable 🌷 I 'll forever love It! Great Don McLean! 💕🌺💕
❤❤❤❤mooie herinneringen aan mijn moeder die veels te lief voor deze wereld was. Deze herinneringen hebben wel een impact gehad op mijn hele leven . Ik was pas 18 destijds. Maar heb het uit eindelijk wel een mooie plek kunnen geven. 😢❤
This song has always touched my heart knowing the tragedy of Vincent. The words and music are the most beautiful tribute to those who like Vincent, were masters beyond our knowledge.
I met this man when he performed in Australia and I got the opportunity to meet him, give him a hug and sign my Don McLean DVD. I was sooo nervous but he was just so nice and accomdating. I will always remember that interaction with this legend. Talk about star struck!!
He seems to sing this with a lot of feeling Those who know of Vincent Van Gough will appreciate and enjoy this song with feeling of lot of sadness Thank you Don you are the best 😰👍
Quite possibly the best song ever written.. and delivery can only be by the writer..Don, thanks for the beautiful life...and taking us on the journey and emotions as beautiful as you.
For me there are some incredible songs, that when even sung by their aging artists, I just don't care if it's as perfect as the original. This is one of those songs and artists. This always brings me to tears. Don thank you for writing such a beautiful and heartfelt song. I'm glad your still here to sing it for us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Perfect 50 years ago. Perfect when I heard it live tonight in Morgantown. So happy for Don McLean to be my first post-COVID concert and my son's first ever concert. One of the most beautiful songs I think I've ever heard.
One of the most astonishing things about this performance is how the conductor is trying to anticipate Don's tempo, which is in constant flux, not a single bar is equal in measure, everything ebbs and flows but the conductor manages to keep abreast of these changes and enables the strings and other instruments to blend in seamlessly without interrupting the magical flow that Don is dictating and what makes this a truly astounding rendition of the song.
Thank you for that analysis. I mean this sincerely. ❤️ Its so beautifully done…..and being his composition, it sounds wonderful no matter how he chooses to sing it. Praying we have him for many more years. I just lost Gordon Lightfoot, my #1 for 50 years. Now realizing Don had a similar way of telling stories with his music/lyrics.
This is sheer perfection! Much more expressive, with a richer tone (and vibrato!), and a slower tempo than previous performances - just the way it should be. I strongly recommend seeing the Van Gogh Immersion Experience if you can, and learn about Vincent's life. There are so many stories of folks with troubled minds who are also geniuses. There will never be another Van Gogh.
I saw the Van Gogh Immersion Experience just outside Tucson and heartily agree it's a must-go for Vincent aficionados! Chances are it's playing somewhere near you; there are a number of them around the country.
This masterpiece written in 1971 will forever remain iconic in the annals of music. It touches my heart and soul.
Yep,right with you there.just superb.

The last night I visited my sister before she passed we listened to this song ❤
@@johnplacivita4416 Sorry for your loss. Recently lost my younger brother tragically and I don't think I will ever get over it.
Lovely story
What a spiritual happening ❤ this world is full of magic if you open your heart ❤️ 😊
Thank you master❤❤❤❤❤
He wrote this from his heart, one of his most beautiful songs. A true classic.

This is truly a masterpiece. A musical story as opposed to my modern definition of a 'song'. Brilliant Mr. McLean. Just brilliant.
Precisely.
In irish traditional music this would be called a slow air, no time signature, just flowing and beautiful
Your words in the comments are as wise as the lyrics in the song, enjoy the bond ❤

What beautiful song by sir don Mc lean. a great voice
poor vincent, this world was never ment for one as beautiful as you😢
I have fallen in love with Don McLean for the second time in life. I was 13 the first time and I'm 63 now.
all the same❤, now 2 years more😊
Heartbreaking😮
His voice never aging
It’s a miracle
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song💖💖
We're here.
I'm one....
Indeed! Especially those who have been thru great sorrow and those of us who struggle with bipolar disorder. 💕🎼💕
Vincent is the name of my good friend in high schl and also 3:31 in college ....i remember our happy days....praying for their health .....hoping they are still alive and singing..as i do now 2024...at 61yo.....really Love this great song also...
Loving from the Philippines
Love and empathy for Vincent and sincere gratefulness to Don McLean for writing and recording it for all to hear - and feel.
Truly one of the best songs EVER. Mr. McLean penned an all time classic. 😎
His voice mellowed out as he aged like fine wine. Beautiful.
He really sings this perfectly.
Don McLean...his voice ages like fine wine. Simply beautiful .
what a beautiful and accurate comment
Your round slim
Definitely. His voice has gotten deeper, but still amazing.
Since I was a child this is one of the most beautiful ballads I have ever heard. Thank you Don McLean for this wonderful song. I am a big fan of you and Vincent van Gogh.
hello dear,how are you doing?
Gets me every time.
Maravillosa canción y su voz hermosisima!
“For they could not love you, still your love was true” that’s the story of my life
If you are happy you enjoy the music, but if you are sad you understand the lyrics👍
Felling
I viewed the life of Vincent and i could understand the lyrics more deeply especially now that i have become a religious.
You should visit Auvers-sur-Oise, where is the Auberge where Vincent lived and shot himself, the cemetery where he and his brother are buried. It is a magic beautiful place!
I enjoyed the music and I fully understand the lyrics at 63, life has show me more than I thought I would ever feel.
So true.
Beautiful song... 2023
This song makes me cry
Thats true 😔😔
I've never been brought to tears by a song, aside from this.
You're not the only one
Yes
I allways cry.love you Mr Don..l wish you can come to denver.
How simply sung but is simply beautiful. The story and song both bring tears! ❤
@patriciadeacon1938. Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here
"But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you" that line always gets me. ❤

Don Mclean paints us a picture of nostalgia, yearning, pain and love through his music and from there we reflect our own lives. ❤😢
Well said.
Back in 1990's I sang this song to a girl I loved in Romania. She cried. Unfortunately, we didn't end up living together.....
Best 100 songs ever.
What an artist! So underrated, but so immense in his art and craft.
It is just called 'love'. But I wish he would watch the movie, which shows he did not kill himself, & was protecting arch villian egoitist maniac Gugauin.
This song is perfect.
GOD WHY DON'T WE HAVE PERFORMERS LIKE THIS MAN 😔😪😢

Where American Pie was an epic anthem, Vincent is a subtle, sublime masterpiece.
Doesn’t get any better than this - every word, every articulation is poetry. It’s beautiful🥲🥲🥲❤️
@janeelliot4732. Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here
Now we understand how he was the inspiration for the song "Killing Me Softly."
You got that right! The music from the 70's was the best ever!
Was he ?
I thought killing me softly was the relationship Roberta flack hadwith

Ok just read the history. Sorry people.
❤ O MAIS interessante é que atualmente leio a biografia de Van Gogh. Pura emoção. ❤

Wonderful song by DM as an ode to Vincent's world.
Probably THE most beautiful song, and this is the best version I have heard. Just wonderful.

Hi dear,how are you?
The older he grows ....
The more relaxing the voice...
I mean I am speechless...
It's beyond any description 🙏🙏🙏😢😭😭
seeing him next April
If you saw the movie about Vincent Van Gough, starring Kirk Douglas, you really have to appreciate this song even more! The song is exactly what Vincent Van Gough was about! Loved the movie! Kirk Douglas did a wonderful job portraying him!He really resembled him!

Vincent Van Gogh is my favourite painter too.
I hope you are doing well now
Shepherd's Chapel Network !!!!!!! Chapter by Chapter / Verse by Verse !!!!!!!
Imagine the pain if you'd left England to live in Krankie land, it would take more than a song, a few gallons of whiskey to drown your sorrows!
Scotland is bueatyful country.. 🏰
He wrote and recorded this when he was young: i highly recommend it. The sophistication of his younger self is awesome
I've been reading a big thick bio of Van Gogh. This song since childhood has made me cry. I went to the Van Gogh emersive exhibit and sat crying. It felt odd but good to be in his work projected on walls and floor.
This is a masterpiece. There is nothing else to be said. Pure class!
Being sooo familiar with insanity this song penetrated deep into my soul. Knowing the pain of the sufferer especially when we are so misunderstood and ignored. Our love is so pure, it's frightening to the human soul. I live on to listen. Thank you Mr. Van Gough. Blessings to all, love more, give less materialism. Peace, Grace and Mercy.
What a beautiful beautiful comment Barbara . ❤️
I can relate to that but there is goodness in every thing in our lives. All has been forgiven❤😮❤
A timeless, classic, poetic song and melody sung to perfection. It brings me to tears !
It speaks of a consciousness trying to awaken the sleeping zombies among us
my lola died last few weeks only,, but everytime i hear this song, she always remind me,, I cry 😢
Que dieu lui accorde sa miséricorde.

After all these years... his voice and phrasing are magnificent...
He seems to sing this with a lot of feeling Those who know of Vincent Van Gough will appreciate and enjoy this song with feeling of lot of sadness Thank you Don you are the best 😰👍
"They would not listen, they're not listening still; perhaps they never will." Prophetic words.
Quite possibly the best song ever written.. and delivery can only be by the writer..Don, thanks for the beautiful life...and taking us on the journey and emotions as beautiful as you.
After twenty more years, Don still has that crystal clear voice .. 👍👍👍
Just as beautiful in 2025 as it was when it first came out.
For me there are some incredible songs, that when even sung by their aging artists, I just don't care if it's as perfect as the original. This is one of those songs and artists. This always brings me to tears. Don thank you for writing such a beautiful and heartfelt song. I'm glad your still here to sing it for us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

He’s as handsome as he ever was. Music still pristine. Lyrics are beautiful.❤
Effing beautiful Sir. Better than the first. You really feel that song. I bow to the 👑…
Love you Don and your beautiful voice with your beautiful lyrics and love ❤ Thank you my friend ❤.
Perfect 50 years ago. Perfect when I heard it live tonight in Morgantown. So happy for Don McLean to be my first post-COVID concert and my son's first ever concert. One of the most beautiful songs I think I've ever heard.
Hi dear,how are you?
@Margaret Karcher: How old was your son. His reaction, questions?
One of the greatest song writers in history
HIs older voice gives even more depth to the song! love this
So good to once again hear music from a gentler time.
@lindaschubert5459. Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here
I remember visiting the Chicago Institute of Art back in college and seeing some of his brilliant paintings. Now I understand.
This is one of the rare songs where both the lyrics and tune are so powerful ❤ salute 🫡
One of the most astonishing things about this performance is how the conductor is trying to anticipate Don's tempo, which is in constant flux, not a single bar is equal in measure, everything ebbs and flows but the conductor manages to keep abreast of these changes and enables the strings and other instruments to blend in seamlessly without interrupting the magical flow that Don is dictating and what makes this a truly astounding rendition of the song.
Thank you for that analysis. I mean this sincerely. ❤️ Its so beautifully done…..and being his composition, it sounds wonderful no matter how he chooses to sing it. Praying we have him for many more years. I just lost Gordon Lightfoot, my #1 for 50 years. Now realizing Don had a similar way of telling stories with his music/lyrics.
2024 here in my bed listening to his music , so nostalgic, lost love.
I'm doing the same. I'm missing the simple days of these songs. How we all miss those days.
This is sheer perfection! Much more expressive, with a richer tone (and vibrato!), and a slower tempo than previous performances - just the way it should be. I strongly recommend seeing the Van Gogh Immersion Experience if you can, and learn about Vincent's life. There are so many stories of folks with troubled minds who are also geniuses. There will never be another Van Gogh.
I saw the Van Gogh Immersion Experience just outside Tucson and heartily agree it's a must-go for Vincent aficionados! Chances are it's playing somewhere near you; there are a number of them around the country.
Big fan of both Vincent Van Gogh & Don MacLean. Both geniuses in their own field. This is sooooooo....... Beautiful !
One of the most beautiful songs ever written … and performed.
Starry Starry Night is the greatest song ever written! Thank
you Don for sharing your genius with us!
Dats not the title
Some times words are no where near enough to express feelings. This song is hauntingly beautiful
The finest solo performer I ever witnessed. He had the audience in his hands to the chorus of Babylon.
Don has a voice from God himself.😊😊
this gets me everytime. he sings it like he feels it in such a way that he almost takes us to Vincent by ascending time and space. incredible song.
Wow he sounds better than ever Gods gift has not faded
