Starry Starry Night

Updated: May 21, 2021

Don McLean's song is based on Van Gogh's famous painting 'The Starry Night' in 1889. If you admire the artist Van Gogh's oil painting, and also like Don McLean's folk song 'Vincent', Starry Starry Night. The following video can satisfy both of your two favors!

The artistic conception of the whole song is the depiction of Van Gogh's heart, including his melancholy, loneliness and gloomy mood. No one willing to listen about his emotions by that time.

This old song uses many delicate descriptions of colors and symbols in the words, including Van Gogh's style and works, full of literary poetry, and it can be said to be an outstanding work with rich artistic temperament.


Don McLean 這歌曲取材于梵高的名画 The Starry Night(星夜). 若果你欣賞藝術家 Van Gogh 的油畫, 亦喜歡 Don McLean 的民歌 Vincent / Starry Starry Night. 以下的視頻可滿足你两個喜好!

整首歌曲的意境,最為動人之處,莫過於對梵谷內心的描繪,包含他的愁緒、憂鬱、孤寂.而這些情緒在當時似乎無人願意傾聽.

這首歌曲運用了許多對於色彩的細膩描摹、以及象徵,將梵谷的畫風與作品囊括進去詞中,充滿文學詩韻,可以說是饒富藝術氣質的傑出作品。
