托Google的福,大家都注意到今天是荷兰伟大画家Vincent William van Gogh凡高的诞辰。凡高生于1853年3月30日,卒于1890年7月29日。
他的画家生涯开始于他短暂的37岁生命的最后几年。他的杰出的富有独创性的作品都创作于最后6年。直到最后,他精神失常,自己无法忍受,自杀后重伤死去。一直在他身边支持他的绘画事业的弟弟Theo提奥,无法接受他的噩耗。6个月后提奥也去世了,葬在了凡高的身边。
今天Google的图标就是为了纪念凡高诞辰而模仿凡高的名画Starry Night作的。
Don Mclean有一首歌Vincent就是写来纪念凡高的。另外还有一个西班牙歌手Julio Iglesia胡里奥翻唱也很著名。Don Mclean唱的是民谣风格,蔡蓝钦的专辑的曲风感觉跟这里的Don Mclean非常接近。这首歌翻唱的人很多。这里放的分别是Don Mclean和Josh Groban的版本。
Vincent 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 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 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 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 would not listen they're not listening still Perhaps they never will
