      The song is about Vincent Van Gogh, who had a mental illness. He had himself committed into a mental hospital and painted quite a bit while there. He was just starting to get recognition for his paintings when he died. Some say he committed suicide and others think he was murdered.

    The song is about the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh who lived in the 1800's and whose paintings are shown in the video. The picture with mountains and swirly looking stars in the dark blue sky is called Starry Night. Vincent is considered one of the greatest painters today, but people mocked him and his paintings during his life. He only sold two paintings. His brother Theo was his main supporter and closest friend. Vincent had an emotional breakdown and cut off part of his ear (his self portrait with the white bandage was painted during this time). He spent time in mental institutions and released himself. Depressed, he later killed himself by shooting himself in the chest.

    @marylang3458 2 роки тому +9

    Van Gogh suffered mental health issues throughout his life but painted even when in the hospital, creating what would become the most famous paintings in the world. While alive, he often gave his paintings away. The sadness of his life is a stark contrast to the vibrant and beautiful world he created on canvas.
    This song captures the beauty of the artist's painting and his soul. To this day, I cry whenever I hear it, but I always listen.

  • @pennyprivate120
    @pennyprivate120 4 роки тому +13

    Every picture on that video was a picture that was painted by Vincent van Gogh. His sadness shows in the pictures. He lost the woman he loved to another man and his depression was deep. There was poverty all around him and sadness.

    Van Gogh lived in constant dispar; a sad and tragic life. He was such a brilliant misunderstood artist and person. He shot himself in the chest standing in the middle of a wheat field. He died 2-3 days later. At his bedside was the person he was most closest to in the world, his brother Theo, said the painter’s last words were: “la tristesse durera pour toujours”-the sadness will last forever”

  • @WolfsbaneHollow

    One of my all time favorite songs from my youth. Don McLean came out with this in 1971. About the painter, Vincent Van Gogh's life and struggle, how he worked for recognition as an artist which never came and how it destroyed him, how they just didn't understand his amazing work until after his death. And those are some of his paintings in the background, Starry Starry Night, the name of one of Vincent's most famous paintings. He saw things in the most amazing colors as if he could see the beauty and energy bursting out of every living thing. This song breaks my heart every time I hear it.

  • @Nickel138
    @Nickel138 4 роки тому +7

    This song always chokes me up. Vincent van Gogh is one of the most famous painters now. The tragedy is that he only sold one painting to a friend when he was alive, and he never knew how popular he would be. He’s in every art book in every school, all the museums, his paintings are everywhere. You’ve seen one of his paintings, they sell for millions now. He was crazy, and poor, and ended up taking his life without a penny to his name. Very sad. This song is a beautiful tribute.

    As an old Scouser myself, I've watched a few of your reaction vids, but I have NEVER seen you two so emotionially taken, and so serious, about a song and the associated images before. Particularly when you saw at the end the pictures were by Vincent van Gogh, and the song was about his life and death. Well done for giving the song and the artist the respect they deserve.

    He's writing about Vincent Van Gogh, who took his life at a pretty young age. He was a prolific painter, painting a couple thousand paintings in his short life! So, those paintings in the video are all his, including a self-portrait, bandaged ear after cutting part of it off!

  • @helgar791
    @helgar791 4 роки тому +6

    Vincent actually sold two paintings in his life, both to his brother who was an art dealer. As others have said, he suffered from bipolar disorder which greatly complicated his life. The issue with his paintings and his inability to sell them were multi-faceted. Aside from being so dynamic and different from any other impressionist, Vincent slathered on the paint so thick that his paintings took years to dry making them difficult to show in galleries. After his death his paintings were left to his brother Theo's widow who thankfully preserved them for years before allowing them to be sold. Indeed, Vincent was tortured by his own genius. This touching elegy was, to me Mclean's masterwork, above "American Pie". Come back to this in 10 years after you've experienced something or someone you've loved and then lost; that which you've cared for more than anything in world. This will have more meaning then.

  • @stevemccormack9948
    @stevemccormack9948 4 роки тому +7

    Vincent Van Gogh is perhaps the most loved artist of all time but he was tormented and committed suicide at age 37. Only after he was dead did he become recognized and celebrated. In fact the Starry Night painting is so famous and has powerful cosmic qualities despite having the hand of a child.
    The best words from this song were - "eyes that watch the world and can't forget". I think that sums up Vincent - a person who loves everything he sees. How far from away an everyday self-seeking politixol slimeball is someone like that?! Actually its really something to behold and understand.
    I will never forget that same painting and as I always like to say of him - the universe belongs to Vincent!

    This is likely not the first post that has said this to you two young men, but Please listen to this one. The title of this song: "Vincent" refers to a very, very famous Dutch painter who lived in the late 1800's. He led a mostly tormented life, while he was compelled by his own mind and spirit to paint and put his dreams and illusions on canvas. During his lifetime he was not considered a success, but later his work became so famous that his paintings are in museums around the world and are mostly beyond price. If you will notice a man's likeness appearing often in the paintings, you will be seeing his self-portrait. This song by Don MacLean is considered by many to be a musical stroke of genius, and gives a wonderful portrayal of the artist, Vincent van Gogh. You can laugh and make jokes, but please don't cheat yourselves of an opportunity to enlarge your experience of art and the world just by listening and looking at the video. I thank you for posting and reacting to this, and hope you will enjoy it too.

    All those paintings were by Vincent Van Gogh, the painter this song is about. He had a tragic life, and was never appreciated while he lived. Now he is one of the most famous painters of all time, his paintings worth millions.
    If you want to get a very short introduction, that's an amazing scene from a TV series, watch (and preferably react to) this: ua-cam.com/video/ubTJI_UphPk/v-deo.html
    It's a scene from Doctor Who, where the Doctor takes Vincent across time to the modern world, to a gallery with all his paintings. I don't watch the show, but it's a beatiful, amazing, emotional scene.
    This song by Don McLean is one of my all time favorite songs, and Vincent Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists (as he is for so many). Great reaction guys. 😊

    As others have said, the song title comes from post-Impressionist Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh (1853 to 1890) and one of his most famous works of art called "The Starry Night." All the art shown in this video are his paintings. Sadly, he suffered from depression and mental health issues (some say bipolar disorder) and was in and out of psychiatric hospitals as an adult. He eventually cut off part of his left ear with a razor and later ended up dying after shooting himself in the chest. While alive, Vincent was a poor unknown artist. Since his death, his paintings have sold for millions and millions of dollars. In 2015, one of his paintings sold at auction for 66 million dollars (50.5 million British pounds). In 1990, one of his paintings sold for 82.5 million dollars (64 million British pounds). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starry_Night

    and u have given them
    Bountiful Bouquets of Sunflowers
    but 4 u there is only contempt
    and though u pour yourself into that frame
    and present it so proudly this world
    could not accept your masterpieces
    from the heart.
    So on that starry night u gave 2 us
    and u took away from us
    the one thing we never acknowledged
    your life.

    Van Gogh is reported to have had bipolar disorder, Meniere’s disease (condition of the inner ear resulting in acute, violent attacks of vertigo and hallucinations of rotary motion), thujone poisoning (interfering with the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA, causing mood elevating effects) from his consumption of absinthe to counteract his attacks of epilepsy, anxiety, and depression. A sick man, and a damn shame! They recently found complex musical compositions, some complete, some not, written by Nazi concentration camps prisoners while in these death camps. Through hunger, torture, and the constant threat of death they wrote their music about and through their suffering. The human mind and spirit is paradoxically both delicate, and yet overwhelmingly & phenomenally powerful!

Van Gogh portrayed the impoverished, working people, in a way that was never done before. No-one liked them, and he he took his life, seemingly a failure. Now his work is everywhere. Perhaps they'll listen now. Well done guys. Ray

    Allthose painti gs were by Vincent... Van Gogh. Starry starry Night was one of his paintings. He is writing about Vincents paintngs and sufferings. Painting of bandage around his head is when he cut off his ear.

    A good book to read is Dear Theo by Irving Stone. It is the book Don McLean was reading when he wrote this song. A must read. Insightful to see how Vincent viewed the world. His passion of course you can see it in his art. If you haven't viewed a Van Gogh in person well an experience worth having

    The first time I read the lyrics to this song cause I never really knew the song all that well... half way through I knew something was very wrong and I said... he killed himself. Maclean foreshadowed it with how the song was sung and his word choices. Especially - now I understand. That really says that someone is looking back and trying to make sense of a tragic ending.

    Do an image search for Vincent van Gogh.... I'm loving seeing your unbridled delight at the works shown. Art galleries can be a place of wonder not just a hang out for the boring old doffs and art students. All art, like music, has something to teach us: even if we don't like a particular piece.
