Starry Starry Night 星夜 美国著名民谣歌手Don McLean(唐·麦克林)的《Starry Starry Night》(星夜)是Don McLean为纪念荷兰的伟大画家文森特·梵高而作,收录在那张为其赢来巨大声誉的专辑《American Pie》(美国派)里,歌曲创作的灵感来自梵高的一幅著名的画作。歌的旋律流畅得浑如天成,词作也是如画般的唯美,让人想起德国小说家施笃姆的诗意小说中大段大段描写的空蒙月色,Don Mclean用原声吉它自始至终伴着他的叙事诗似的歌,把人们带入那冬天落雪的风景中。整首曲子的配器就是一把木吉他,极致的简约之美。 梵高最受人爱戴的名画就是1889年他住在St.Remy精神病院内所画的The Starry Night,也就是Don McLean在《Starry Starry Night》的第一句歌词。这幅名画The Starry Night现放于纽约Museum of Modern Art内,每天开始及完结时,艺术馆都会播放DonMcLean的《Starry Starry Night》这首名曲。 (下面这个版本是Declan Galbraith的,先解一下渴吧,有知道好地址帮我回一下)
Starry Starry Night歌词: 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 Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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 整首用诗一样的语言娓娓道出了一个美妙的意境,是不是让你情不自禁的想到一个点缀荧荧星光的星空其实这首流漏出英雄惜英雄的感情。 Don McLean是一个才华横溢的歌手,但是他的星途却十分坎坷,曾经流落到街道卖唱的地步,其实也是在向世人诉说心中的苦痛。 歌曲中Don McLean诉说VICENT不被世人理解的苦闷和无奈,其实也是在诉说自己的苦痛,因为他自己本身也是天才,而且生活窘迫,曾一度流落街头,或许只有天才才能真正了解天才的苦闷吧!
