    Don McLean's voice seems scarred with age and living, and it makes this song that much more beautiful, touching, and deep. It brought tears to my eyes. Antonin Artaud called Vincent Van Gogh the man suicided by society. And Don McLean wrote a most beautiful song in tribute to him. And Starry Night is one of my very favorite paintings ever ... Thank you for this video.

    What is sad to me is that I was born in that gap in the music, being 10 years old when Woodstock happened, and somehow missed Zeppelin coming out. I only had sisters, so I do remember "Red Rubber Ball" and "Windy" and such. I remember American Pie, although I was young. My brother-in-law came back from fighting in Korea, and turned me on to you, Don, and the Beatles, (although my sisters had to take me to see the movies "Hard days Night". What I was trying to day before I started writing this book was sorry I missed much of your. music, hopefully you'll come to Dallas sometime. Vincent has quickly become one of my favorites.
    Also, rest in peace, Dusty Hill, who passed away 😢 yesterday.
    Thanks, Don.

    I saw you three times in Coolangatta/Tweed over a 30 year span. On the last occasion, about 8 years ago now, I took a woman who'd NEVER been to a concert in her life, and she only heard Vincent for the first time when I suggested it before I bought the tickets. Needless to say, you made an impression.
    I am heartbroken that you may not ever tour again, but such is the price of loving something so much that you dare not see it end. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

    Starry, starry night
    Paint your palette blue and gray
    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
    And how you suffered for your sanity
    And 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 fields 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 inside
    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 heads on nameless walls
    With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
    Like the strangers that you've met
    The ragged men in 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
