Starry starrynight vangogh-2
The document provides lyrics to the song "Vincent" by Don McLean, which tells the story of painter Vincent van Gogh. It describes some of van Gogh's most famous paintings, such as "Starry Night" and its swirling colors. The song discusses how van Gogh struggled with his mental health and was not understood during his life, but eventually took his own life because "lovers often do." It suggests his paintings now allow others to understand what he was trying to convey.
