Vincent
Starry, starry night
Paint your pallet 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 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, 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
回到上海,把Joanna wang的唱片,今晚再聽一遍,聽著Jensen H222 唱出了傳神聲音的韻味,在台北聽的時
候,沒有處理空間與喇叭擺位,讓聲音少了些細節。
順道把Don Mclean演唱的Vincent也拿出來比較一下,當然 Mclean男聲是比較直接的唱法,不帶一絲爵士味道,
娓娓的敘說著一段往事,帶著幾分氣質,存著幾分的純真,當初次聽到這首歌就印象極深,歌詞寫的好,唱的也真,
日後也對不同人唱這首歌時,多了一些關心,相對的Joanna wang的演唱,帶著爵士唱腔就顯得這首歌有些造作,
卻又沒法成熟到歷經人生再回首的依戀,有點可惜。
