《Vincent》是美国著名民谣歌手Don Mclean(唐·麦克莱恩)在1971年阅读了梵高的传记后创作并演唱,用来纪念荷兰著名印象派画家文森特·梵高,次年成为了英国单曲榜的冠军和美国单曲排行榜的第2名。 歌曲第一句“Starry starry night......”为人熟知,它描绘了梵高的著名作品《星月夜》,此外,歌词中还穿插描绘了梵高的其他画作。 一首散发着淡淡幽香的乡村民谣,经典感人。歌手以他天才般的敏锐,洞悉出梵高内心的苦楚,用那诗意且发人深省的歌词,向我们展示了一幅又一幅的优美画卷,表达了对天才画家的深深理解和敬意。 Don Mclean 1945年出生,美国民谣摇滚歌手,他的歌曲中以Vincent最为著名。

As is known to all, Vincent Van Gogh is the world's greatest yet most tragic artist,who suffered from a terrible mental illness combined with people's misunderstanding so that he took his own life on a starry night at the age of thirty seven,the best time for an artist.Oh,in the small hours of this Thursday,listening to Vincent again and again and making my comments again is a special leg of my lifelong journey of admiring English songs,triggering my mixture of feelings. Oh,just as we know,some super geniuses,like Vincent,are painfully lonely because they are too sane and somber but few can read their mind.Day in and day out,lacking understanding and support is the last straw that broke the camel's back so that in the history not a few gifted artists,writers and musicians ,among others, suicided themselves.Alas,in this sense,we average people are far luckier in that we are not so sensitive and sentimental. Moreover,we are better at coming to terms with ourselves and what comes.Oh,in a way,taking life as it comes is both an art and science. Oh,needless to say, Vincent written and sung by this American musician is so aesthetic,artistic, poetic that I can not love it too much.Oh,as a matter of fact,I listen to the song for three times and read the words for four times,falling victim to its rhyme.Oh,if you are familiar with Vincent's works,you are sure to know this song is a collection of his representative works.Oh,if you are versed in English figures of speech,you must find this song is also an outstanding poem.Oh,if you are adept at catching feelings of a singer,you must be enslaved by this American songster.
