荷蘭銀行很久以前推出一個超炫的梵谷動畫信用卡廣告,是否曾經吸引了你的注意呢?
是否也注意到他好聽的背景音樂。
是的,廣告配樂中這首向梵谷致敬的民謠歌曲就叫做 ~ Vincent (Starry Starry Night),最早出現在 Don Mclean ~ 唐麥克林這位美國民謠歌手於1971年所錄製經典專輯 ~ American Pie(美國派)」之中。
1887年自畫像 |
他曾對農夫說:我在畫布上耕作,你在田地上耕犁。珍視生命而對人世間付出溫暖的關懷的梵谷最後被送入瘋人院!最後於1890年7月,梵谷舉槍自殺,享年僅三十九歲。
以畫家梵谷為名的這首歌曲「Vincent」是 Don Mclean(唐麥克林)在欣賞梵谷的畫作「Starry Night」(星夜)時,對於同為藝術家的梵谷之遭遇與孤寂所引發的創作靈感。同時這首歌也是唐麥克林傳世數十年的經典代表作一。

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 winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land
*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
Starry starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly laze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields amber grain
Wheathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath
The artists 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 in sight
On that starry starry night
You look youe life
As lover 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 man 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 you sanity
How you tried to set them free
They could not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
