《淡淡唱给自己的歌(一)》Vincent
演唱:淡淡的老张
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 field of amber grain
Weathered faces
lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the
artist's loving hand
Now I understand
How you suffered
for your sanity
How you tried
to set them free
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 oneAs beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless head on
nameless walls
With eyes that watch
the world and can't forget
Like the strangers
that you've met
The ragged men
in the ragged clothes
The silver thorn of
bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
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
这首歌是美国民谣歌手
Don McLean为纪念
荷兰的伟大画家文森特183梵高而作
歌曲创作的灵感来自
梵高的一幅著名的画作
《Starry Starry Night》(星夜)
旋律流畅得浑如天成
词作也是如画般的唯美
整首曲子的配器就是一把木吉他
