I Am Listening To This Youtube Video

Starry
Starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey

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.
And 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.

Starry
Starry night
Flaming flo'rs 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.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you
But still your love was true

And when no hope was left in sight 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 stranger that you've met

The ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken
On the virgin snow.
And 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
List'ning still
Perhaps they never will.

@wildflower12 I've always loved this song ... So thank you ... And as a follow up, go to you tube and search for starry starry night painting on dark water ... I'd by a Turkish artist ... I won't say anymore !)
Love this song (always have) and it's filled with emotions and insight into Vincent van Gogh, of course, along with the painting it refers to. What a great song and thanks for the listen :-)

@Justbychance I really love this picture of him. i can feel the moon shining and the stars sparkling. The longer I look at it, the more I feel peaceful.
@wildflower12 :) Some artist I don't get; maybe it's because I am a Philistine ... lol. Whilst others display a quality that reflects their inner being and this is one such artist. Like you, I can see deeper into this particular painting. Like you, I can see peace and tranquillity in what must have been his troubled mind. A sad song that tells of his struggles whilst this painting lives on forever and speaks so much of him :)
