歌曲Vincent歌手dana winnerStarry, starry nightPaint your palette blue and grey Look out on a summer's dayWith eyes that knowthe darkness in my soulShadows on the hillsSketch the treesand the daffodilsCatch the breezeand the winter chillsIn colors on thesnowy linen landNow I understandwhat you tried to say to meHow you sufferedfor your sanityHow you triedto set them freeThey would not listenthey did not know howPerhaps they'll listen nowStarry, starry nightFlaming flowers thatbrightly blazeSwirlingclouds in violet hazeReflect in Vincent's eyes of China blueColors changing huemorning field of amber grainWeathered faces lined in painAre soothed beneath the artist's loving handNow I understandHow you suffered for your sanity How you triedto set them freeFor they could not love youBut still your love was true And when nohope was left in sightOn that starry, starry nightYou took your lifeas lovers often doBut I could have told you VincentThis world was never meantfor oneAs beautiful as youStarry, starry nightPortraits hung in empty hallsFrameless head on nameless wallsWith eyes that watchthe world and can't forgetLike the strangers that you've metThe ragged menin the ragged clothesThe silver thorn of bloody roseLie crushed and brokenon the virgin snowNow I think I knowHow you suffered for your sanity How youtried to set them freeThey would not listenthey're not listening stillPerhaps they never will这首歌是美国民谣歌手Don McLean为纪念荷兰的伟大画家文森特183梵高而作歌曲创作的灵感来自梵高的一幅著名的画作《Starry Starry Night》(星夜)旋律流畅得浑如天成词作也是如画般的唯美整首曲子的配器就是一把木吉他
