街边飘来空灵的女声——Starry, Starry Night。。。。。。久久在记忆中吟唱。

感谢网络，找到了这首歌谣，

更发现了动人旋律后，歌者浓厚的情感。

美国著名乡村歌手Don Mclean看到Vincent van Gogh生命中最后阶段的一幅名画——Starry Night 后创作了这首了不起的作品。

歌词如诗歌般优美，浓烈的意境与梵高的作品如出一辙——

“Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils
catch the breeze and the winter chills
in colors on the snowy linen land.”

“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.”

大学时读过梵高的传记《燃烧的向日葵》（欧文·斯通），

如此纯净的生命，孩童般的热情和想象力

世界在他眼里那么美好，而生命的历程却如此痛苦。

疾病，贫穷，没有爱情，无人理解的孤独， 

惟有创作，才能释放遏抑不住的激情，

直至再也无法自我控制。。。。。。

那是至今看过最好的传记，记得读完后掩卷长叹，无法释怀

正如现在聆听这首Vincent。

“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.”

听到这里总会忍不住流泪。

Don Mclean懂得梵高——

“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.”

“And now I think I know
what you tried to say to me
and how you suffered for your sanity
and how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen they're not listening still
perhaps they never will.”

听了很多版本，觉得木吉他伴奏的低吟浅唱更符合梵高的气质。

The Starry Night这幅画目前存放于纽约Museum of  Modern  Art内，听说每天开始及完结时，艺术馆都会播放这首名曲。

希望有机会亲自向永恒的大师梵高致敬，为音乐喝彩！
