      This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there are some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people,

    This song is very special to my son and I. When my son was a baby he had horrible colic every night at dinner time. One night as he was screaming away "Vincent" came on the radio
    and he instantly stopped crying and he listened with a very serene look on his face. So the next day I went out and bought the cassette and every night when the screaming started
    I would play the song and he would calmed down and listen. I then just had it on repeat so the screaming didn't start at all. When he was in high school he painted me a beautiful
    painting of Starry Night and had learned to play "Vincent" on the guitar and that was my present for my birthday that year. To this day it is still the present I cherish most. And it always makes
    me tear up.

    The melody of this song makes its own rules. It's not bound by a straight time signature and tempo. It's deep, flowing, soft, and haunting. He sings it effortlessly. No one writes like this. This is truly a masterpiece. A musical story as opposed to my modern definition of a 'song'. Brilliant Mr. McLean. Just brilliant.

      Years ago, before arthritis stopped me playing, I learned to play this song. I quickly discovered that there is no way to "keep time" with it. It's just a matter of feeling. And when one tries to set it to a strict time signature or tempo (to "quantize" the music), it loses its beauty.

    One of the most astonishing things about this performance is how the conductor is trying to anticipate Don's tempo, which is in constant flux, not a single bar is equal in measure, everything ebbs and flows but the conductor manages to keep abreast of these changes and enables the strings and other instruments to blend in seamlessly without interrupting the magical flow that Don is dictating and what makes this a truly astounding rendition of the song.

      Thank you for that analysis. I mean this sincerely. ❤️ Its so beautifully done…..and being his composition, it sounds wonderful no matter how he chooses to sing it. Praying we have him for many more years. I just lost Gordon Lightfoot, my #1 for 50 years. Now realizing Don had a similar way of telling stories with his music/lyrics.

    Perfect 50 years ago. Perfect when I heard it live tonight in Morgantown. So happy for Don McLean to be my first post-COVID concert and my son's first ever concert. One of the most beautiful songs I think I've ever heard.

    This is sheer perfection! Much more expressive, with a richer tone (and vibrato!), and a slower tempo than previous performances - just the way it should be. I strongly recommend seeing the Van Gogh Immersion Experience if you can, and learn about Vincent's life. There are so many stories of folks with troubled minds who are also geniuses. There will never be another Van Gogh.

    • @robertparker9896

      I saw the Van Gogh Immersion Experience just outside Tucson and heartily agree it's a must-go for Vincent aficionados! Chances are it's playing somewhere near you; there are a number of them around the country.

    As a young boy I did not know what this was about. It did not matter. I gave it a texture in my mind. Every word became a color. Every phrase a well deep with swirling beauty. Vincent was an abstract. An obscure image of the dreamers. Those that want to create that better world and the world that does not see them passing by. That is the canvas this song put before me.

It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there are some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people..
