Song with very strong meanings?
Vincent





It's an old song. I don't know who was the artist. But it's all about Vincent Van Gogh and his life. It's how he suffered and finally ended up his life.





It talked about how people could never understand him. I can identify cuz I was severely depressed and I felt exactly like that too.. Crazy, beautiful.





Here are the lyrics:





V1


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 daffodils,


Catch the breeze and the winter chill


In colors on the snowy linen land.


Chorus


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 theyll listen now.





V2


Starry, starry night


Flaming flowers that brightly blaze


Swirling cloud and violet haze


Reflect in Vincents eyes of China blue.


Colors changing hue.


Mourning fields of amber grain


Weathered faces lined in pain


Are soothed beneath the artists loving hands.





Chorus


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 theyll listen now.





V3


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.





V4


Like the strangers that youve met,


The ragged men in 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.


Theyre not listening still


Perhaps they never will.
Reply:The song is by Don McLean. I have 2 albums by him and they both have that song on there. It is a very strong song with the acoustic guitar and soft words and it's one of his signature songs along with "American Pie" and "Run Diana Run." Report Abuse

Reply:i like the version by Josh Groban! He sings it sooo well! He has an amazing voice singing an amazing song Report Abuse

Reply:ANY/ALL U2 songs...not only are the lyrics beautiful and powerful, but Bono has a certain quality to his voice that MOVES me!! Most of their songs address world issues or matters of faith (they're good Irish Catholic boys!), and even though I don't consider myself a "religious" person, I get a lot out of it. I admire Bono's faith and commitment.
Reply:Redemption Song---Bob marley.the words just make you think
Reply:"Holes in the Floor of Heaven"-Steve Wariner-talks about how people who have gone to Heaven that we love are looking down on us





"Red Rag Top"-Tim McGraw-heard part of it, then looked up the lyrics. Talks about the regrets of abortion and how the person in the song wished he had never talked his girlfriend into having one and agreeing that she should.





"When I Get Where I'm Goin'"-Brad Paisley-talks about going to Heaven and the great things about Heaven and how we shouldn't cry in sorrow for those who have gone ahead, but be happy that they are joyous in Heaven.





"Wait For Me"-Rebecca St. James-it's basically a letter to her future husband asking him to save himself for her, basically stay abstinent.





"They Don't Understand"-Sawyer Brown-talks about how people will look at other people and judge and not understand what that person is going through and the person who is having the trouble is asking the judger to forgive them. And being that this is the last song I can think of here's the last verse to this song, it's really moving;





A man hanging on a wooden cross


giving everything to save the lost


everybody's staring


not knowing what he's going through


somebody said "you don't have a prayer


if you're the king come on down from there"


the man just turned his head


looked up and stared





He said "please forgive them


for they have not seen the light


but they'll come to know me


when I come back to life


and go to heaven


to make everything all right


so please forgive your children


they don't understand
Reply:It's self explanatory...





"Untitled"





I open my eyes


I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light


I can’t remember how


I can’t remember why


I’m lying here tonight





And I can’t stand the pain


And I can’t make it go away


No I can’t stand the pain





How could this happen to me


I made my mistakes


I’ve got no where to run


The night goes on


As I’m fading away


I’m sick of this life


I just wanna scream


How could this happen to me





Everybody’s screaming


I try to make a sound but no one hears me


I’m slipping off the edge


I’m hanging by a thread


I wanna start this over again





So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered


And I can’t explain what happened


And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done


No I can’t





How could this happen to me


I made my mistakes


I’ve got no where to run


The night goes on


As I’m fading away


I’m sick of this life


I just wanna scream


How could this happen to me





I made my mistakes


I’ve got no where to run


The night goes on


As I’m fading away


I’m sick of this life


I just wanna scream


How could this happen to me
Reply:this came out in Australia about two years ago, it was the first song that i ever cried to .. it really opened my eyes





"These Kids" - Joel Turner and the Modern Day Poets





These kids trapped in a struggle and


Don't know where they're heading, no


A head full of trouble is all that they're getting


And nobody knows the suffering they go through


And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you





These kids trapped in a struggle and


Don't know where they're heading, no


A head full of trouble is all they're getting


And nobody knows the suffering they go through


And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you





So many songs, so many times


The world had to hear so many rhymes


About how life is for strugglers


Minority groups, kids with single mothers


Young homies turn hustlers, stealing for money


It's kinda funny how the crime rate is so high


In suburbs where family ties are low, 'n suicides on the rise





Oh why, so many die coz in their eyes


The mistake they made, cant be erased the only way out is to take their life


And if they dont do it sudden then they'll do it slowly


Polluting themselves with drugs, because they on this world lonely


So we as a nation just class 'em as a waste of space


And if they don't help the economy then strip 'em naked


Put 'em on the streets 'n make sure the police hate 'em


And feed the public phony information on the evening news





Kids may bomb police stations, to get at the boys in blue


This song goes out to the whole justice system


Instead of listening to the kids with the problems


They just tick them off more


Until these kids in prison or dead before they twenty four





These kids trapped in a struggle and


Don't know where they're heading, no


A head full of trouble is all that they're getting


And nobody knows the suffering they go through


And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you





You probably heard the news about the 14 year old kid


Who went to Woodridge to get a stick but got his neck slit


What you'll expect in, the situation that he was facing


With all of these expectations he just wanted to get wasted


But the mistake he made was fatal


What about my mate who put a rope around his neck


But he choked to death instead coz the fall never broke his neck


See both of them, were trapped in a struggle none of us could comprehend


The younger was in need of weed, the other had problems with his head


Now they're both dead, and the same thing happens time 'n time again


Kids dying all the time 'n leave us asking why my friend


And then there is those who run away from home


Live on the streets 'n chrome


Can't deal with tha pain of the world so they get stoned


Sit in a zone, become known as the local drones


With low vocal tones, they communicate with hopeless groans


And nobody knows they came from broken homes


Plus to us they're just emotionless clones


And the pain plagues their brains they can't maintain healthy lives


Change is all but easy, a life of crime is all but nice


Plus life isnt worth living unless ya given the chance to fight


Drugs might not be the answer, but who knows wrong from right


When ya parents drinks 2 whole bottles


Of wine, 'n puts the hose in the coke bottle,


A lot of the time, kids dont know any different


It's like they losing their minds, cant get a hold of their visions


Think they're doing just fine, but they still in the struggle


Yeah the kids of this time, in a whole lotta trouble


If you in trouble, jump over that puddle


Some where out there someone really loves you


Loves you like you never been loved, yeah


Loves you like you've never been loved





These kids trapped in a struggle and


Don't know where that they're heading, no


A head full of trouble is all they're getting


And nobody knows


Nobody knows





These kids trapped in a struggle and


Don't know where they're heading, no


A head full of trouble is all they're getting


And nobody knows the suffering they go through


And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you





These kids trapped in a struggle and


Don't know where they're heading, no


A head full of trouble is all they're getting


And nobody knows the suffering they go through


And you wouldn't believe 'em if they told you
