2. Starry, starry nightPaint your palette blue and grayLook out on a summer's dayWith eyes that know the darkness in my soulShadows on the hillsSketch the trees and the daffodilsCatch the breeze and the winter chillsIn colors on the snowy linen landNow I understandWhat you tried to say to meHow you suffered for your sanityHow you tried to set them freeThey would not listenThey did not know howPerhaps they'll listen now
3. Starry, starry nightFlaming flowers that brightly blazeSwirling clouds in violet hazeReflect in Vincent's eyes of china blueColors changing hueMorning fields of amber grainWeathered faces lined in painAre smoothed beneath the artist's Loving handNow I understandWhat you tried to say to meHow you suffered for your sanityHow you tried to set them freeThey would not listenThey did not know howPerhaps they'll listen nowFor they could not love youBut still your love was trueAnd when no hope was left inside
4. On that starry, starry nightYou took your life As lovers often doBut I could have told you, VincentThis world was never meant for oneAs beautiful as you。Starry, starry nightPortraits hung in empty hallsFrameless heads on nameless wallsWith eyes that watch the worldAnd can't forgetLike the strangers that you've met
5. The song described the life of van Gogh .At that time, there were not people appreciate his pictures. When I listen to the song, the melody makes feel relaxed as if I were viewing the pictures which were painted by van Gogh. Although what the meaning behind the song was hard to understand. We also enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. To my opinion, the song expresses not only the pity to van Gogh but also the love to him. What van Gogh tried to say was the sanity which he suffered. I love the song. Maybe, the true meaning of van Gogh’s pictures I won’t realize. However, the only thing I know is every time I listen to the song I feel relaxed.
