Don McLean, wrote so many beautiful songs. Under rated.

Don McLean was reading a book I believe to be Dear Theo by Irving Stone. It's a collection of letters written by Vincent to his brother Theo. And yes Vincent wrote as well as he painted. Strong recommendation.

What a song, what a performer.

Sincere reaction.

in one of his fits of insanity he made a bon fire of all the paintings in his studio ....would be worth a billion dollars today

Beautiful - this song is about the painter Vincent Van Gogh.

Starry Night was one of Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings. He was institutionalized for his mental condition and was not appreciated as an artist until long after he died. His paintings are now nearly priceless. Vincent was also known for cutting off his own ear to send to a woman he loved.

Hi Felicity, this song is about the famous Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. If you read his biography, you would understand the lyrics even more. They are indeed very deep and emotional. I loved your reaction to this song very much and enjoyed watching ir. Please come back to Aurora soon, you have so much more to explore and discover from her, and I swear you, you won't regret. Best wishes from Germany : Gerry

Art on Art. No other way to say it.

So beautiful and sad 😢

@pres96ton 1 second ago this is the story of Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most famous painters in the world. He was a dutch painter from 1890 and a few years later. All of the descriptions Don sings are descriptions of his paintings. "the lovely linen land" refers to painters canvas Vincent was insane and spent time in an asylum. he started painting at 27 and died by suicide 10 years later. He never sold a painting when alive, and now they go at auction for $60 million dollars. that is what nameless faces on empty walls and nameless painting in empty halls means..it it s the story of Vincent.... and Starry Night was his most famous painting. Look up his art. his colors we incredible...especially his blues....if you look at all of his art you will recognize the paintings described in the song....his next most famous painting was of SUNFLOWERS....

Thank you for the reaction. American Pie is another song by McLean I think you will like. Before you listen to it look up the meaning, there is references to history before you were born, it will help make sense.

That is the way to listen to a classic. Respect ! 👍

hello felicity, love QLD Australia thank you so very much.

I'm excited for you to hear this one.

It's a beautiful song

I love it that you just listened to the song in its entirety...and just let us see your face's reaction......thank you!!!!

Thanks, Felicity - my favorite by Don McLean - as others have said, it's about Vincent Van Gogh... :)

I'm so happy that you are on this musical journey, their's a lot of music from the 60s through the 90s that may surprise you. Please keep on this journey 🌹✌️

He sounds so great ❤❤

great reaction love x

very beautiful

Don McLean is a poet. Beautiful in every way. AI and "Auto-tune" does not belong in the world of recorded music. Suggest you listen to "Empty Chairs" also by Don McLean.

vincent said himself that the world would not appreciate his painting until after he died.
