The song of the day is “Vincent” by Don McLean. So finally today is not a wedding song :p
I first heard this song in a TV drama series and I love the melody of this song, at that time thought I didn’t pay much attention to the lyrics, all I know is that the “Starry starry night” at the start of the song really catch my ears. Until recently, I looked up the lyrics and meaning of the songs, I realised what this song is really about.
This song is about Vincent Van Gogh. Not sure how many of you know about this, but Van Gogh was not famous when he was alive. It was only after his dead his painting became famous. Feel quite sorry for him, all the hard work that he did at the end didn’t made him any profit, yet people that have nothing to do with him make big bucks out of his painting. His life was a tragic, he didn’t have any one that can understand him, and finally he committed suicide to end it all. This song picks up on the life of Van Gogh. In the lyrics, it goes through a lot of his famous painting, and at the same time telling us how Van Gogh feels during his depression stage and how lonely he was. Hope you would like this song, enjoy.
Vincent – Don McLean
