纪念梵高的作品，不知道以前发过没有。
抄袭一段

《Vincent》（starry starry night繁星点点）是Don·Mclean欣赏了凡高的作品《星空》之后激情创作的。这首歌的曲风同其它乡村民谣相比并无异质，还是那种散发着淡淡的幽香的小品文风格，它的过人之处在于它那发人深省的歌词上。Mclean 用他那诗人般的手笔向我们展示了一幅又一幅的优美画卷，同时也以他那天才般的敏锐洞悉出凡高内心的苦楚，表达了对这位天才画家的深深的理解与敬意。歌中Mclean 用极尽绚烂的词藻来描绘凡高的画，旨在表现凡高那灿若向日葵般的生命。

歌词
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.

　　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 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 smoothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

　　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.

　　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 bloddy rose

　　Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

　　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 listening still

　　Perhaps they never will.
