我聽之我見：梵高畫下《Starry Night》時，絕不會想到，81年后，美國鄉(xiāng)村民謠歌手Don McClean看到這幅畫，會寫出這首《Starry Starry Night》來獻(xiàn)給他。不知被他所感動過而又曾拋棄過他的世界能不能由此給他帶來些許感動。

Vincent (Starry starry night)  by Don Mclean

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 daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

In colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand what you try 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 you 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 try 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 you 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 stranger that you've met

The ragged man in ragged cloth

The silver thorn in a bloody rose

Lying crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know what you try to say to me

That how you suffered for your sanity

And how you try to set them free

They would not listen they're not listening still

Perhaps they never will
