I believe this is not only the most beautiful song ever written but the best song ever written.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music every written...

Don McLean's voice seems scarred with age and living, and it makes this song that much more beautiful, touching, and deep. It brought tears to my eyes. Antonin Artaud called Vincent Van Gogh the man suicided by society. And Don McLean wrote a most beautiful song in tribute to him. And Starry Night is one of my very favorite paintings ever ... Thank you for this video.

Don , thanks for over 50 years of beautiful , insightful , thoughtful , haunting songs with brilliant lyrics and long-lasting melodies . You are a genius/ artist

Don, this evening, I watched your interview at the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum, hosted by Joe Chambers. What a spectacular career you’re having. Your stories during the interview were fascinating. You and Joe definitely clicked. I could have listened to your stories all night. Best wishes to you and your family. Stay well. Stay safe. And yes, keep breathing…. - Tim

My brother , William Vincent Anderson was found in his semi truck deceased at the age of 34. From a cerebral hemorrhage.It was 1993. One of the cassette tapes found in his semi was your greatest hits album. I still have it and I consider this his song and I cry every time. Beautiful ageless song. ❤️

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW....Still incredible after all these years, THANK YOU sir !!!

Don is one of the best balladeers ever. This song was the B side of American Pie!

Beautiful performance Don. Just what I needed just when I needed it. Cheers

This song is as beautiful as Van Gogh’s art. Vibrant, Touching and genuine.

My favorite song!!!

The Legend! always good listening to the original one!!!

I'm 67 and suffered from chronic depression my whole life! Song makes me cry every time!

Thanks for some special songs & memories of 1971, my freshman year in college, Green Beer 🍺 parties on Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans & Friday nights at Joe’s for all the nursing & medical students.♥️

Man, this is listenable all day

What a sincere and touching song! Been loving it for years! Thank you Don for your great work of art!

Great singer...great song that touches my soul...

What is sad to me is that I was born in that gap in the music, being 10 years old when Woodstock happened, and somehow missed Zeppelin coming out. I only had sisters, so I do remember "Red Rubber Ball" and "Windy" and such. I remember American Pie, although I was young. My brother-in-law came back from fighting in Korea, and turned me on to you, Don, and the Beatles, (although my sisters had to take me to see the movies "Hard days Night". What I was trying to day before I started writing this book was sorry I missed much of your. music, hopefully you'll come to Dallas sometime. Vincent has quickly become one of my favorites. Also, rest in peace, Dusty Hill, who passed away 😢 yesterday. Thanks, Don.

Happy birthday Don! I wish you all the best in your professional and private life! May all your wishes come true. You have given the world amazing gifts: your voice, your creativity, wit, imagination and the urge to chase our dreams! In short- you have given yourself and that's not something one can find just round a corner. You have raised many smiles but also many tears have slipped on so many faces. That are signs which indicate what a great artist/man you are! How a great day and do whatever you want to do! Your fans are always beside you.

This was a real treat! I always loved this song. When I was much younger, I didn’t realize Vincent’s identity. You sang it beautifully. I have to tell you how much I enjoyed you re-make with Home Free, of “American Pie”! I would love to see you so another if your songs with them! That was magic!!

Gotta admire him - his voice has been gone since the 1990’s but he keeps plugging away.

Don, a sincere thank you for all you've done in your career.

Saw your show in Adelaide about 15 years ago, you're still great. Great song Sir.

Well Mr. McLean I think Sir this was the most beautiful song ever written and sung by you and you alone. We all age but you still have the twinkle in your eyes and the feeling in your voice. BEAUTIFUL SIR JUST BEAUTIFUL. I recall when it first came out its beauty lingered on and will go on for eternity. BRAVO!!! TO YOU AND I HOPE YOU ARE WELL!☺☺☺☺❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👈👈👈👈🎩🎩🎩🎩🎩🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸🎸It is one of those Top Hat Moments. THANK YOU!

the song makes me cry

So excited to see

Guess who I just realized was still alive! Beautiful song!

Awesome lyrics, music and a melodius voice. Perhaps the last of tje golden era of MUSIC. The irony is, like Vincent, Don has made a statement in his songs especially American Pie, and the values of society and music is crumbling as the world continues down the path of chaotic progress

A lovely tribute to a very talented man who could not escape his demons...RIP Vincent.

In fact he's up there alive and singing it is fine enough for me and I loved it. One of my favorite songs ever. We're all unsung heroes

“But I could’ve told you Vincent this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you “❤️ I’m waiting for someday someone will write something that beautiful to me

I saw you three times in Coolangatta/Tweed over a 30 year span. On the last occasion, about 8 years ago now, I took a woman who'd NEVER been to a concert in her life, and she only heard Vincent for the first time when I suggested it before I bought the tickets. Needless to say, you made an impression. I am heartbroken that you may not ever tour again, but such is the price of loving something so much that you dare not see it end. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Thank you for your multiple gifts to generations everywhere . God has blessed you ; may She continue to do so for the rest of your years.

thank you for all the beautiful songs it made my childhood the best

Meu som favorito....

He was very very good during the 1970s his younger days..best lyricist..cool high pitch voice..good looking guy..

DON I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN DENVER IN JULY ME AND MY DAUGHTER.WE LOVE YOU STAY HEALTHY.

Yeees! I too have been fascinated with Van Gogh and feel so sad for his discouraging life. Hope to meet him in heaven.😁 Watch the Dr. Who episode about him.

Estou aguardando

It is a prophecy about this moment, and no "they are not listening still, I doubt they ever will". You can find last years attempts in proverbs 1 if interested. Woops they are not listening still. I would add a thanks Don..

Fantastic song and brilliant lyrics, sad to hear the limited vocal range and emotions as he ages though.

아.... 좋다. 세상이 좋아져서 이렇게 들어보네.

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

AMEN - SO TRUE - Came looking for the one Mia? posted.

I would like to know the research you did for this song. I enjoy hearing it and singing it, but I'm better at If We Try.

✊🏾 rip 2 pac ❤️‍🔥

Hola Don, es una canción muy, muy bonita. Pero no me dejes con la duda ¿quién te ha dicho que se quitó la vida? Un hombre así nunca se quita la vida. Y los amantes menos
