Is anyone listening? This question is for senstive souls who will relate to the lyrics of this song:?

Don McLean - Vincent (Starry, Starry Night):



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 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 blaze,

Swirling clouds in violet haze,

Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.

Colors changing hue, morning field 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 in sight

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 head on nameless walls,

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

Like the strangers that you've met,

The ragged men in the 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...

They never will listen. If they were the kind who were going to get you, they would have. So, now, what matters is for us to take our eccentric ways and shine them on the universe! "The world was never meant for one as beautiful as you" so make your own world!
Reply:Go to YouTube and open the version of this song by Gosh Groban that has the paintings by Vincent. Each line in the song is shown by one of his paintings. Great Song and version.
Reply:i can relate too, though im not depressed or anything, i have something Vincent doesn't. hope for a better dawn, because the fleeting moments in life make it worth it
Reply:I can absolutely relate, but I am not as tormented as Vincent, I know I will survive, I do not feel a need to end my life on my own.
