My Mama died last Dec 23. She had a record of this song on We Sing. I was beside her as she was recording this, taking one glance after the other at me during the entire song. Now, I listened to the song again, and I really missed how she utters "Vincent", as Vincent is my name. I missed her so much. I would give everything just so she could sing this to me once again. Of all the beautiful things in this world, she is that one that I deserve the most. I love her so much.
Vincent, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I also lost my wife of 34 blessed years on December 9th, 2021. We both enjoyed this song, too. I look up to my blessed savior Jesus & He keeps me going. That doesn't mean that I still don't grieve & cry. Stay strong my friend.
I feel for your void Vince. I have also lost my mum and far too early for us both. I remember it like yesterday although it was 1982. I was 14 and she 37. Be strong Vince. She is not far away. She hears you.
Hello brother Vince, I hope that you are okay by now. I may not know how hard that feeling was but my sympathy is with you. I condole with you in these trying times.
My heart is melting. I'm under the seas of stars rn. It's the point of my life where there's a painful sting in my chest but I can't cry no more. Somehow I felt relieved because my eyes did most of the work. I'm grateful for the stars for not leaving me when everybody else has. It's a peaceful night, folks.
@@anaidlg504 thank you for asking me, that's so sweet of you. Saw this message right after I wake up and it made me feel better honestly. I've accepted things and loosen my grip because it only hurts me. The moment that I have seen my point of view few months ago somehow made me more grateful, cause I know I'm making progress. Thank you so much Anaid🤍 Lil gestures touch people the most. Hope you're doing good, too.
Vincent too am sorry for the loss of your mother. My aunt used to sing this song to me also. She died of Covid last year at the age of 89. I miss her so much I wish I could hear her sing that song to me one more time.
Vincent is my favorite artist. I hope he is happy in the afterlife as people in this time and generation admire him and his works now. I was very sad knowing how people in the past couldn't even appreciate the feelings and emotions in his masterpieces.
Still Missing my dad so much even though it's been 11 years, I'm crying RN sh!tttt, oh how time can't really heal wounds but teach us and make us mature.
I am an artist and everything changed since covid. I listen to this song and the lyrics hit me so hard. I cry because I can never go back to the way it was.
Never lose hope brother. Hope you find your inspiration along the way. Try loving yourself and appreciate even the smallest improvements in your artworks. Wishing you the best!
The song reminded me of my Sister who passed away from cancer. The lyrics are so powerful that you appreciate them while on this earth. But when it is silent it's just invisible
Ppick a flower and admire its beauty. Or look at the sky in wonder of its eternity. Finding beauty around you is what this song reflects. Heal your soul@@jakesicrisolo4598
Truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It belongs with other beautiful songs such as "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Simon and Garfunkel), "Fire and Rain" (James Taylor), "Yesterday" (The Beatles), "Better than I" (David Campbell), Annie's Song" (John Denver), "Time in a Bottle" (Jim Croce), "If You Could Read My Mind" (Gordon Lightfoot), "Lies" (Stan Rogers), "Longer" (Dan Fogelberg) "Dust in the Wind" (Kansas), "Child of Mine" (Carole King), and "Lasso the Moon" (Art Garfunkel).
As my name is Vincent, I also love Vincent Von Gogh and I am also an artist, the lyrics also hit me close to home and my own childhood. This is easily my new favorite song.
This is one of my absolute favorite song and the lyrics , meaning and melodies are just so beautiful as well as sentimental …. I too find peace and comfort looking at the starry night sky as Vincent does 🌌
*Lyrics: Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray 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 And how you suffered for your sanity And 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 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 inside 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 strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody 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
I'm here 6:a.m. dec.24,2023,listening from philippines,this reminds me way back before when the u.s.naval base were still in olongapo city where we are playing in some folkhouses,tnks.marlon here
I really love vincent van gogh his art were so cool and I always wanted to be him and hearing this song on my dad’s old collection of songs made my inspiration go higher.
Our daughter took her own life. And when no hope was in sight on that starry starry night. You took your life as lovers often do. But I could have told you Martje, this word was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
This song is beautiful but even more beautiful when the love of your life name is Vincent but he doesn't love you back. I guess I am listening to this to help myself heal.
This song is beautiful. Makes u stop and think. I listened too it the first time my boyfriend told me too. I love this song it does create such a sadness to see what a person does when they are so unhappy and depressed. Vincent may u RIP 🙏
i was tasked to do a seatwork related to the painting and searched for this song. Until I knew how devastating and expressive this song is, that I can't help but to sob.
My sister died at the age of 4 years and she would always smile when the song came on and also Vincent is one of the best writers ever keep up the great lyrics young pilgrim music Thank you 😊 💓
4:37 my pregnant wife woke up and out of nowhere she asked me to play the song a stary stary night and surprisingly found out its title. It's beautiful.
'This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you'.I could only wish for those words on my tombstone one day. The best song I have ever heard. Bar none. My opinion only. Not sorry at all.
quote from Vincnent van Gogh - I feel that there is nothin more truly artistic than to love people. Thank you Vincent, thank you Don - still your loving fan
We had discussed Vincent Van Gogh's life back on our art app subject and yes I have learned that vincent had an illness that something related to his eyesight which explains the wavery paint seen in the starry night artwork, and yes he loved to have a self-portrait. Also, he commits to killing himself. You know what was the saddest? No one bought any of his artwork back when he was still alive. I wish i was there with him tho, to make him feel that he is worth it, make him feel that he is appreciated. By the way i just discovered this song when i randomly watched the voice this song was sung by a girl, forget her name tho. I didn't know this exists.
If he was he was alive and was selling his painting, I would have bought it. ... How I wished I could have made a difference in his life. Just a little cheer in his life.. 🙏😔
Sana po bigyan nyo ng lakas ng loob ang tagasunod nyo para maka lapit sila sakin at mag tiwala sa mga balita na kayo ang may gawa ang pinanadala nyo para d cla mag dalawang isip na nasa likod nila kayo:-)nike god job ;-)Amen2022
2pac's girl sang this song for him in his last minutes, And now today just found out some friends died in a road accident, MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN ETERNAL PEACE...
Now I understand 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 did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still, your love was true But I could have told you, Vincent This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Before this song was just nothing to me. Until we were give a seatwork about creating a song out of a painting or drawing from a song. This song was a masterpiece and also of course Vincent's starry night
My Mama died last Dec 23. She had a record of this song on We Sing. I was beside her as she was recording this, taking one glance after the other at me during the entire song.

This song definetly is on the top of the most beautiful songs ever written.. this song moves the deep seas of our infinite souls.
Tf does "the deep seas of our infinite souls" mean
You wouldn't know.. because you just don't have it .@@GuBu_ZE_Wyzrd
A very emotional song. So, moving.
Wow. That is amazing. Thank you for saying that.
nat king cole stardust was the.first
Don, this is the first song I've listened to in 2025. It's a classic song made for every man and time. Thank you again!
My heart is melting. I'm under the seas of stars rn. It's the point of my life where there's a painful sting in my chest but I can't cry no more. Somehow I felt relieved because my eyes did most of the work. I'm grateful for the stars for not leaving me when everybody else has.
It's a peaceful night, folks.
And how are you today? Knowing pain makes me grateful when there are snippets of peace, sighing my relief.
@@anaidlg504 thank you for asking me, that's so sweet of you. Saw this message right after I wake up and it made me feel better honestly.

Hope you've been feeling better, Catvids! I'd like to know how you're feeling these days. Please update me if you can :-)
Sincerely,
Burpie
Be positive... Time heals, God loves you...
❤
One of my Dad's favorites... I was born in 67' and American pie was on presented on a plaid tablecloth... I felt truly free..
It usually makes me cry. But not tonight. It's the most beautiful lyric that I've ever heard. Thank you, Don!
A silver thorn, a bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. Is my favourite line ever put to song, it's absolutely perfect and beautiful
Vincent too am sorry for the loss of your mother. My aunt used to sing this song to me also. She died of Covid last year at the age of 89. I miss her so much I wish I could hear her sing that song to me one more time.
What a magnificent classic, makes me teary eyed every time I hear it.
Vincent is my favorite artist. I hope he is happy in the afterlife as people in this time and generation admire him and his works now. I was very sad knowing how people in the past couldn't even appreciate the feelings and emotions in his masterpieces.
Vincent is true with his art and soul from it. I am one of his true fan.
@@edivinbunda2103 same here ever since I'm 10 I love his works. Now I'm 16 and I literally grew up admiring his works.
Watch the episode of Dr Who about Van Gogh. The monologue from the curator of his exhibition is nothing short of magic
This song never fails to make me cry. It's helped me through many fits of depression
Hang on my friend
Still Missing my dad so much even though it's been 11 years, I'm crying RN sh!tttt, oh how time can't really heal wounds but teach us and make us mature.
You can do it❤
I am an artist and everything changed since covid. I listen to this song and the lyrics hit me so hard. I cry because I can never go back to the way it was.
Never lose hope brother. Hope you find your inspiration along the way. Try loving yourself and appreciate even the smallest improvements in your artworks. Wishing you the best!
Great fantastic tribute paid to the artist.One of Don's best songs.
The song reminded me of my Sister who passed away from cancer. The lyrics are so powerful that you appreciate them while on this earth. But when it is silent it's just invisible
My sister died to with cancer 😔
Vincent, you're tearing my heart out. I wasn't there for my lovely mom. I showed up late again. God bless you!
After burying..3 fam members ..during the c0vid crisis.. I find this tune reflects. Each one of their ways.. Thanks for your Great stories 💕
Listening to this beautiful song on my old recliner in a cloudy day in Orlando, Florida, Oct. 2021, and I'm sad...very sad.
Im praying that you would find perfect joy and peace within your heart.
2022. January. From 7th grade til now-- many decades between. Song still moves me.
Thinking of you from South Florida. Jesus put you on my heart. God bless you.
Ppick a flower and admire its beauty. Or look at the sky in wonder of its eternity. Finding beauty around you is what this song reflects. Heal your soul@@jakesicrisolo4598
This is very helpful to many many people .listen carefully to the words .
Lovely song about a great artist!
So wonderful beautiful song, singer's voice so soft and smooth! Thank you for sharing such music to us!❤❤️🥰😊🤗

Heard this song once, and already fall into this💖
the same, tbh
As my name is Vincent, I also love Vincent Von Gogh and I am also an artist, the lyrics also hit me close to home and my own childhood.
This is easily my new favorite song.
The song that made 2Pac regain consciousness moments before his final breath.
This is one of my absolute favorite song and the lyrics , meaning and melodies are just so beautiful as well as sentimental …. I too find peace and comfort looking at the starry night sky as Vincent does 🌌
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you ❤
That lyric just reaches inside you and destroys your heart.
This part of the lyric hits hard like a truck, man
This song was played to Tupac in the hospital when he died..Such a beautiful song
I love this song, so beautiful!
Why now,have I remembered this song. So my heartaches for my parents,they were once children too and they endured for as long as they could.
*Lyrics:
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
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
And how you suffered for your sanity
And 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
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 inside
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 strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody 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
Für mich ein unheimich schönes lied❤
I'm here 6:a.m. dec.24,2023,listening from philippines,this reminds me way back before when the u.s.naval base were still in olongapo city where we are playing in some folkhouses,tnks.marlon here

Reflecting Vincent's life and work this song is a masterpiece
Generational talent

I guess you mean Ellie Goulding
@@paulasedigo739 yes beautiful girl, song and performance

2pac's girl sang this song for him in his last minutes, And now today just found out some friends died in a road accident, MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN ETERNAL PEACE...
so nice music
Now I understand
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 did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still, your love was true
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
This song was before its time
I saw a Facebook post that showed his art work along with the song it was beautiful
Before this song was just nothing to me. Until we were give a seatwork about creating a song out of a painting or drawing from a song. This song was a masterpiece and also of course Vincent's starry night
