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 soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand
And 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
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
And 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….

You’re right that …
You’re right that it is the tenderest English song I know, and I do know a few. Don McLean (the author) does it at least as well as this cover. Probably better. I stumbled on him in a fair in England. Superb singer, songwriter. Of course, his song speaks to Vincent Van Gogh’s gentle heart; he never found appreciation in his life. Not uncommon to not be appreciated, I’m afraid. Perhaps that’s the hopeful lesson that comes from the minds of these two great artists. Appreciate those who care

Could you post …
Could you post Chyi’s song “Recuerdos de la Alhambra” and “Vino de Amor” ?
( 2 of the 3 most touching songs taken from her album, Love of My Life)
Her singing tells the moving tales of a great many asian women’s love stories..
she conveys it in a way no other western singer can ever do (even tho the compositions are western in originality)..
Her most touching english song to me is probably
..”A Twist of Fate”..
