Vincent (Starry Starry Night) Don McLean

I drop into a dramatic blue starry dream each time when Don McLean sings this beautiful rhythm.
I love it.



Vincent (Starry Starry Night)
written by Don McLean

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 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
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 inside
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 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 did not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will


繁星點點的夜裡
調色盤上只有藍與灰
在夏日裡出外探訪
用你那洞悉我靈魂幽暗處的雙眼

山丘上的陰影
描繪出樹與水仙花
捕捉微風與冬天的冷冽
用那如雪地裡亞麻般的色彩

如今我才明白，你想說的是什麼
當你清醒時你有多麼痛苦
你努力的想讓它們得到解脫
但他們卻不理會，也不知該如何做
也許，今後他們將會明瞭

繁星點點的夜裡
火紅的花朵燦爛的燃燒著
漩渦似的雲飄在紫羅蘭色的霧裡
映照在文生湛藍的眼瞳裡
色彩變化萬千

清晨的田園裡琥珀色的農作物
佈滿風霜的臉羅列著痛苦
在藝術家憐愛的手下得到撫慰

如今我才明白，你想說的是什麼
當你清醒時你有多麼痛苦
你努力的想讓它們得到解脫
但他們卻不理會，也不知該怎麼做
也許，現在他們知道了
因為當初他們無法愛你
但你的愛依然真實

當燦爛的星空裡
不存一絲希望
你像許多戀人一樣，結束了自己的生命
但願我能告訴你，文生
這個世界根本配不上一個美好如你的人

繁星點點的夜裡
一幅幅的肖像懸掛在空盪盪的大廳裡
無鑲框的臉倚靠在寂然的牆上
配上一雙看遍世事且永不遺忘的雙眼
就像你曾遇見的陌生人
那些衣衫襤褸的人們
也像血紅的玫瑰上銀色的刺
斷裂並靜臥在初下的雪上

我想我已明白，你想說的是什麼
當你清醒時你有多麼痛苦
你努力的想讓它們得到解脫
但他們卻不理會，現在依然如此
也許，他們永遠不會……

Don McLean: And I Love You So Only

I knew Don Mclean from his famous song "Starry Starry Night".
I love his pure and comfortable voice.
Enjoy it my friend.



And I Love You So / Don Mclean

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know how lonely（loveless）life van be
The shadows fokkow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get（bring）me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my sporot free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

我是如此愛你/唐 麥克林　　　　　
我是如此愛你 有人問我
我是怎麼活到現在的 我說我也不曉得
我想他們應該明瞭 人生是多麼寂寞
但人生又重新開始 從你牽著我的手
那一天起
沒錯，我明白人生有多孤寂
陰影緊跟著我
黑夜也不放過我
但我不會因為暮色而消沉
因為此刻你在我身旁

你也愛戀著我
你的思緒裡全都是我
你釋放了我的靈魂
我很高興你這樣做
書頁一旦被翻閱
生命之書是簡短的
我深信除了愛，一切都不復存在


簡介：
Don Mclean於1945年10月2日出生在紐約，不朽的城市民謠大師。 Don McLean是城市民谣歌手的代表，他的《VINCENT》和《American Pie》以及本曲是他最脍炙人口的三首佳作。

他的歌曲旋律流畅动听，他的嗓音又几乎纯净到透明，给人以亲切感，在美国民谣歌手中可算首屈一指，他的歌有一种难以名状的亲和力，感觉就像是在星月夜空下编织一个蓝色的梦，他的歌牵引着你与星空融为一体。他的歌曲旋律流暢動聽，他的嗓音又幾乎純淨到透明，給人以親切感，在美國民謠歌手中可算首屈一指，他的歌有一種難以名狀的親和力，感覺就像是在星月夜空下編織一個藍色的夢，他的歌牽引著你與星空融為一體。

这种亲和力也只有民谣才有，你在任何重金属和后朋克中都无法找到它，所以更容易被注重旋律的东方人所接受。這種親和力也只有民謠才有，你在任何重金屬和後朋克中都無法找到它，所以更容易被注重旋律的東方人所接受。 这种早期的软摇旋律优美，弥漫校园的清香，一个人一把木吉他就可以在大街上、酒吧里柔声清唱，抒发胸臆！

1971年，一直默默无闻的Don McLean（丹·麦克林）在灵感泉涌中写下了一首超长的歌曲《American Pie》（美国派），一夜成名，American Pie（1971年）发行之后，同名专辑随即推出。 其中他为画家梵高所写的Vincent (Starry Starry Night)，也非常受欢迎。

Don Mclean歌声纯朴自然、毫不做作，加上诗般的意境，很多人都慕名前去欣赏他的演唱，有人形容他的歌声具有温柔的杀伤力。 一位女明星在慕名听过他的演唱后，更请专人替她把感受谱成歌曲，就是后来由黑人女歌手Roberta Flack罗贝塔.弗莱克唱红的Killing Me Softly With His Songs（欣赏优酷达人李根楠的译名“轻歌销魂”）。 在他成名后，首张专辑里的and i love you so则被资深歌手Perry Como看上而予以翻唱，也在排行榜上造成了轰动。 这以后，BobbyVinton、JohnnyMathis和猫王相继翻唱此歌，据统计在10年内此歌不同版本在世界各地电台被播放超过300万次。

国内的谭咏麟（我心喜欢你）、齐豫（英文原版）都翻唱过，很喜欢齐豫的翻唱，她空灵而纯粹的嗓音，荡涤着尘世的焦躁和混乱，让人安静和温暖。 DonMclean是一位真正的摇滚艺术家，他用最纯净最朴实的声音唱出了社会最复杂的主题。 也只有他和他的音乐，才能把我们打动得这么深。

noon的Tea for Two

Tea for Two

I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling this place is a lover's oasis
Where life's weary chase is unknown

Far from the cry in the city
Where flowers pretty caress the streams
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in
Don't let it abide in my dreams

Picture me upon your knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just you for me and me for you, alone

Nobody near us
To see us or hear us

No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone

Day will break and you'll awake
And I will bake a sugar cake
For you to take
For all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A girl for you and a boy for me
Can't you see how happy we would be
We will raise a family
A girl for you and a boy for me
Can't you see how happy we would be

One of my firend, Allen, shared a song "Linda Ronstadt - Feels Like Home" a few days ago.
I believed that Linda tried to communicate with GOD when she sang the song.
A great version to share with you too.
