Nov 25, 2008 - I had the intense, religious experience of seeing the Van Gogh exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC last week. My favorite artist, ever & always. Standing in awe before his "Starry Night," I was one of several people moved to tears. I could have remained there all night. Your video is beautiful & touching. I've loved this perfect song for 36 yrs. & thank you for editing Vincent's masterful work to it. "Lust for Life" was a great film, but I prefer "Vincent and Theo." Peace

Nov 25, 2008 - This beautiful song is inspired by a letter written by Vincent's friend Paul Gaugain... It was translate in italian by an italian song-writer, Roberto Vecchioni, with tthe same title...

Dec 1, 2008 - Poor Van Gogh, he only sold a pair of works, no more... The price of vanguardism...

Dec 1, 2008 - I used to sing this at karaoke some years ago when I used to go. Very powerful and sad song. Hope I gave it justice.

Dec 1, 2008 - I've listened to this song many times - cried the first time I heard it. It was so beautiful but to this day I don't get what the message behind the song was. I understand Van Gogh suffered but what message is Don McLean talking about?
