starry stary night这首歌很有渊源,歌曲创作的灵感来自梵高的一幅著名的画作《Starry Night》(星夜),由美国民谣歌手Don McLean为纪念荷兰的伟大画家文森特.梵高而 作,收录在那张为其赢来巨大声誉的专辑《AmericanPie》里。整首曲子的配器就是一把木吉他,极致的简约之美 ,曲风同其它乡村民谣相比并无异质,还是那种散发着淡淡的幽香的小品文风格,它的过人之处在于它那发人深省的歌词上。Mclean 用他那诗人般的手笔向我们展示了一幅又一幅的优美画卷,同时也以他那天才般的敏锐洞悉出凡高内心的苦楚,表达了对这位天才画家的深深的理解与敬意。歌中Mclean 用极尽绚烂的词藻来描绘凡高的画,旨在表现凡高那灿若向日葵般的生命。就如歌词所述:

歌词:(可选第一或第二段)

第一段:


Starry starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
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 try 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

 

第二段:


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 aritist's loving hand
Now I understand
What you try 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
