喜歡的歌重唱一遍,這次用的是王若琳版的爵士伴奏。
據說歌詞裏描述了好幾個梵高的作品。
look out on a summer's day,可能說的是下麵“星夜”這幅畫:
sketch the trees and the daffodils裏的the daffodils應該指的是Bowl with Daffodils
flaming flowers 可能指的是他喜歡的向日葵
Swirling clouds:更像他的另一幅Starry night
reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue: 他的自畫像(陶瓷般的藍眼睛)
唱完這首歌的時候驚聞現實中一個朋友的消息,就把這首歌送給Ta。
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
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
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
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 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 the ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
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're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
