Josh Groban - Vincent(Starry,Starry Night)

Starry, starry night
Paint your pallet blue and grey
Look out on a summers day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy lined 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 do not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blazed
Swirling clouds and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grey
Whethered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when your 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

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thorn
A bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They were not listening
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will


　　
　 《Starry starry Night》是梵高 1889 年在 St.Remy 精神病院時的一幅充滿強烈表現力的名作。八十一年之後，美國鄉村民謠歌手 Don McClean 寫出這首《Vincent（Starry Starry Night）》來紀念他。整首曲子的配器就是一把木吉他，極致的簡約之美，卻渾如天成，有一種如詩如畫般的唯美。
　　這是真正能讓人投入的音樂，淡淡的藍色思緒，一種微妙的理解和共鳴，一份深深的敬仰和無奈，都隨著“Starry Starry Night”的吟唱傳遞給了那個遙遠的世界。
　　星空依舊，塵世依舊，又有幾衹“China Blue”般的眼睛能穿透一切？
這首歌最讓人感動的是那句“This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you”。的確，有的人，是美麗得不適合這個人類世界的。你愛著這個世界，可是請原諒他們無法愛你。
　　個人比較喜歡Josh Groban演繹的版本,將那種淡淡的如畫詩意發揮得淋漓盡至...Don McClean 演繹的版本請按此下載試聽.
