- "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)"
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette 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 daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours 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 and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' 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
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
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... - Hudba
![Josh Groban - You Raise Me Up (Official Music Video) [HD Remaster]](/img/n.gif)
I am 70, I am in Korea at Camp Humphries, serving my country. Yeah I know what the hell right? I am sitting alone in my Airbnb having done laundry and cleaned up, waiting to go to work tomorrow and got in the music mood, and Josh you can ease the feelings of anyone in any mood, be it lonely, be it distance, be it death of a loved one, or all of them, you raise us all up with your voice. Thank you, I will ask when I do pass on that one of your songs is sung at my funeral. Thank you Josh for sharing your talent with us.
Beautiful words💜
Hello, Mr. Duboi,
Do you know about a God who loves you? The Lord Jesus Christ, who shed His blood for you? Since you have spare time where you are stationed, pick up a New Testament, and begin to read in the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - which are the eye-witness accounts of Jesus as He walked the dusty streets of Jerusalem and other Jewish cities, over two thousand years ago. These accounts, which are true, and known as "The Gospels," tell us of many interactions that the Saviour had with ordinary people. Read these accounts daily, and make a habit of it - and you will be blessed. Hand your life over to this great Saviour, who told Nicodemus in the garden (John 3) "You must be born again." I will be praying for you.
Josh eases the pain of so much sorrow.He also inspires and lifts me up. Bravo Josh, all the best always.
I am a life long fan of Vincent Van Gogh, his life and paintings. This song does him justice 🌟🌟🌟
Me too,fan forever of Vincent,thank you for this beautiful comment😊

Don McLean wrote this song ten years before Josh Groban was born. What is good stays forever. Just sublime.
Beautiful ❤️❤️

@@terryrodgers8652 thank you
Could he have imagined that it could have been sung so beautifully
I got the Pleasure of seeing Don McLean live 3 times. I'm sure he is honored!
Josh, there is not one song that you sing that doesn't touch my heart in a special kind of way:your selection of melodies, your incredibly sensitive timing, and the love that you bring to each artist is a true pleasure ... what a gift you have... and you are pretty cute too... I'm an old lady now, but you make my heart remember the romantic days of times gone by..... many thanks.
Carol Flato such beautiful words, I feel exactly the same, thank you for that comment
Anita8891 yes, Love is grand even in memory... just that we loved well, once upon a time.. now we love differently , appreciating love in all its many forms💞😂😂💞💞
You're welcome ,Anita8891....we all share a need to love and music is a beautiful way to keep the life force surging through our veins. We're never too old to appreciate that!! smiles and blessings to another lover of life and all of her songs.
Carol Flato oh exactly, music is everything 💜 so good to share love for music
That is word for word exactly what i say too!!!
s word for
168 years of Vincent Van Gogh today and here I am. Listening for the hundredth time this beautiful song performed by this amazing singer, played by this incredible musician and even so crying a river. Thanks Don McLean for putting in words all my thoughts towards Vincent.
🎶💜🎵
wonderful comment
Josh Groban has a beautiful voice & does a wonderful job. I was born in 1959 to me nothing will be as beautiful and touching as Don McClean. JMO ❤
❤️
I agree. When I heard this the same thought came to me too. Too orchestral...
Josh Brogan is by far the BEST SINGER TODAY. HIS SONGS WILL LIVE FOREVER
I woke up at 2am, to this song playing on the radio, I had fallen asleep with it on. I was pregnant with my son, and couldn’t come up with a name, it was like it was meant to be, so I named him Vincent Matthew.
wow,that's incredible, and Vincent is a really beautiful name
I looked up the life story of Vincent and I have NEVER heard another song so beautifully portray another's life. He was a tortured soul who finally took his own life after losing at love for another. Don M. is a musical genius for his composition and Josh G. is a master sending the final message to us all. Thanks.
I just watched Loving Vincent, I know this comment is 12 years ago but I definitely recommend you watch the movie if you still feel this way. It's the most beautiful movie I've ever seen.
Where would this world be without the gift of music! Music heals the soul like none other.
I totally agree ❤️
Try insane clown posse…no healing going on there! 😳
@@drwoo6090 I'm sorry, have no idea what you are saying!
To your question. I don’t know where we would be! Maybe not here!
It is very beautiful song, I love Don McLean and Josh Garban sang , but I feel different feeling
Outstanding…..
Why would anyone dislike this? I don't understand. This is a beautiful song about a wonderful artist sung by a wonderful man and performed on guitar by a talented musician.
Absolutely... It's an artist interpretation of the song and the artist's feeling, the way he sees that song.💜. Its something so personal and unique and it should be something appreciated much more...
Some people are emotionally harmed by beauty. They may be going through emotionally difficult times and when they encounter beauty they are taken aback by it, feeling sorrow that they cannot appreciate the beauty in their current state of mind.
Talented musician? Parkening has been, if not the best, at the top of the classical game for 5 decades.
@Josh Groban Your soulful interpretation of this song channels that very deep dark place that is alluded to in the lyrics. Yet beyond words. Love what you do Josh. Voice. And more. 💐PS- Lani Hall was first version of "Vincent" I knew. Heard it?
It lacks soul
As only Josh could do it....accompanied by a master guitarist and an orchestra. GORGEOUS. Well done, Josh!!
Beautiful comment
Josh Groban has a beautiful voice of an angel everytime I listen to him 😊💙❤💖
That's such beautiful comment thank you 🤍
@@Anita8891 you’re welcome
My Husband was in Korea in the 50s.He isn't here anymore but I think about him daily.Josh helps me through those terrible times .❤❤❤
That's so beautiful ❤️
Josh Groban has a beautiful voice like a Angel 😇 ❤️ 💖
Beautiful comment 😊
I agree 😊❤️
@@liamjamesyardley9181 😊
One of the most beautiful, poignant songs ever written. Josh and Christoper Parkening are perfect.
i totally agree:)
Josh Groban has the voice of an angel.
I totally agree😊
Ironic, Vincent Van Goghs painting are so colorful yet he felt darkness within. He must have been screaming.
@@garthsleight73 me too,the perfect melancholy
He had an inner ear infection, vertigo etc, he wasn't crazy, he was ill. Remember this was pre antibiotics.
to emerse yourself into the brushstrokes of Van Gogh and write a song like this deserves such a voice to share it with the world...BRAVO...
That's beautifully said 💗
No other voice...🤗💖💖💖
@@yikesyikes1513 I agree😊❤️
Watch the Van Gogh episode of Dr.Who. With Matt Smith. Get the tissues ready.
You may have saved my life a few years ago when I was diagnosed with an incurable brain condition and I became so depressed, but I listened to your beautiful voice singing The Prayer. Thank you, Josh
Write him personally and let him know this! It's unlikely he'll read these comments here.
God bless you.
you can fully appreciate the song if you really know who Vincent Van Goh was..as an artist I really thanks Mr.Don McClean for writing and making a song for him...too late for the people in Vincent's time to appreciate and see his gift and priceless talent. and especially the beauty of his works and arts..
i so agree with you,,nowadays people like Vincent are so rare to come by....
I learned about "Vincent" when I was a kid in elementary school. I'm 76 now and I've read about him again and again. A priceless talent. Sad that he was so sad in life. Sad that young people do not learn about him and other "artists" of this world's past. Beautiful history if people would just take the time.
Josh groban is and always be my favorite artist
Mine too❤️
My son,Keith, died in June of 2007 at the age of 33. All who knew him identified him as Vincent...He was gone much too soon and is so missed by all who loved him...RIP...
I am so so sorry to hear that ,such beautiful souls are gone far too soon..💔 I dedicate this song to Keith,with all my heart
Wonderful lyrics.Beatifully sung by Josh. Those who "suffer for their sanity" will find comfort listening to this song.
Prabha Ravisundar I wholeheartedly agree...
Josh -you are a talent from heaven. You do this song perfectly. Beautiful guitar work. This is how music should be
Beautiful comment
The best singer for this music..only josh can sing as beautyfull as its.
i totally agree:)
May 13th, 2022..
LOVE ONLY, Josh Groban💞💞💞...
Went to see my Sister in Kentucky 2005 (i'm living in germany)...she played your CD...and YOU TOUCHED MY HEART EMEDIATELY 💥💥‼️♥️💯⚘...
OOPS, got carried away 🤭...
Any Song i hear from you until today 05. 2022 - AMAZING ❤👍🙏🍀🌈...
THANK YOU SOO MUCH ❤🙌
Lovely comment ❤️
My son Robert D Heeley, artist passed away at 43 on Jan 26, 2014. I played this for his epitaph at his memorial service. The words seem like they were written just for him. I miss my sweet sweet boy💋 mom
I'm sorry for your loss ma'am I'm an artist myself so I know how it feels to feel strongly for your art. and that song means so much to me as an artist.
+Victoria Ruggiero-Diaz (Vicki) i am also so very very sorry :(
So sorry dear. My heart goes out to you.
I'm so sorry, Victoria. I also think of my son when I hear this song. He passed away in 2015. The world is just too much for some to bear.
Victoria Ruggiero-Diaz I lost my son as well on July 4th 2012 he was my first born and forever 25. I am sorry you have to be a grieving mother too. We didn’t deserve this. But listening to this song is so beautiful I have always loved it and it reminds me of my son Adam as well.. I pray you find peace!! 💗💗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love the way Josh Groban does this. I can get lost in the thought of this. It is so beautiful. And the guitar is perfectly played. Thank you for this.
Love this song. Sung with incredible passion. Heartfelt. ♥️
❤️❤️
"Thats ok I'll play both parts on one guitar!" What a BOSS
Years ago I saw Parkening in concert. He was incredible! What a treat it would have been to see Groban and Parkening live together. I used to play around on a guitar and can't imagine the skill it would take to play a 12-string classical guitar.
I'm almost 70 years and never has a voice been about to stop me in my tracks - make me forget what I am doing and simply listen - than yours Josh Groban.
I totally agree 💜
I agree
This is such a beautiful song, Josh does it so well. The guitar is added perfectly, it's 1 of the reasons I loved Don Mclean's version. I don't know how they can be compared since they are both beautiful & different. I take each on it's own.
I so agree with you,they can't be compared,both two different and equally beautiful versions :)
The original artist and write of lyrics is Don Mclean.
😂uh
Don’t cry 😢
Best male singer ever for me.
❤️
The "man" can sing anything!
i agree :)))
Wonderful song , beautifully sung and accompanied . Thank you
🤍
I wish I could give this an hundred likes, it is so moving
I totally agree
My favorite song sung by my favorite singer Josh Groban. Combination of emotion and art gives me teared eye sensation
❤️❤️
I hope the dislikes weren;t for his voice, Josh has such an amazing voice..Yeah, Grobanite here..
DonMcClean wrote a brilliant analysis of Van Gogh's struggles to stay alive despite overwhelming depression. The beauty of his impressionistic art is also excellently interpreted by Groban.
Thats a beautiful comment 🤍
One of the best songs
@@wolfgangvorck I agree ❤️
Very appropriate comments Katherine , did you watch the movie?
I used to sing this song at every family party etc when you did that back in the 70, and 80s. My sister loved it I was a little young in the 60s but learned it for her.I've been singing it virtually my whole life.Now at 60 and with my heart failing I will make sure it will be played at least one more time.
You will sing this brilliant song many many times to your loved ones. Music never dies. Love never ends.
that's so beautiful, music can be eternal
God bless you. Hello from Ireland
@@donkelleher9726 Thank you. I now also live in In Co Antrim Ireland.
I heard this song when I once wanted to give up on my life. ever since when I hear this song I cry so bad. no words can explain that feeling. just... thanks for that song.
I know that feeling all too well.....
Thank you for sharing your story! It inspired me tonight!
....the world was never meant ...
so touching.
So touching..I hope you are doing well❤️
It's good to know that you didn't give up on life. Keep smiling and loving life. 😁😁❤❤
Every time I hear Josh Groban sing this, I get chills. Beautiful!
Me, as well!
What a beautiful gifted singer
Agreed by a man with a heartache ...
Amen
Amen
"I could have told you Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you"... and here I always risk breaking down crying :')
oh,me too...likewise...the most beautiful part of those lyrics..most touching
I tend to cry every time I listen to it. Healthy.
rawan Jensen
Me tooooooo !
For me it starts from "And when no hope was left on that starry starry night, you took your life as lovers often do...".
I'm glad you enjoy it that much.
For all of those who have lost a child, I pray for peace for you. I lost my son to suicide this past July 23rd. His new home is Heaven and each day is closer than the day before to seeing him.
Just beautiful. I've never heard a bad version of this song. Everyone who sings it seems to have an emotional connection to Vincent van Gogh and that's why they do McLean's beautiful song to this beloved artist justice.
I agree, love for van Gogh shows in those songs about him and those songs...
An American singer that the world can love. Keep singing, Josh!
I agree!
This is the first time I've listened to Josh Groban sing. Wow. What a beautiful voice. Very accurate and controlled and wonderful.
I never tire of listening to him and I've loved him since his debut with CelineDion 20 or more years ago.
the words to this; lyrics, are so meaningful, I adore this song.
Aw me too, it's so special
I saw Don McLean several times. Josh takes it into a spiritual realm.
I cry ever time I listen to this song , I suffer from depression , they didn't understand Vincent he suffered
I feel the same 😔I know the feeling well, be strong ,at least we have music to help us always
Yes, in deed, Depression is a heavy weight to carry. 😧
Very much :(( but we should never loose hope@@a.e.gross1957
A sensitive rendition of the beautiful voice of Josh and an amazing song that touches on a topic not heard very often. Amazing!
Beautiful comment 🤍
Vincent was an enigma and a very passionate and spontaneous man. He was underappreciated in his own time much like Josh is I think. This version does justice to the man that Vincent was and to what he stood for.
I don't think Josh Groban is underappreciated. The entire world as it were knows he's a tremendous singer. But some songs just need to be left alone. This is one of them
@@sulatlalaki you're correct in that he's not underappreciated. I think you're quite wrong about songs being "left alone".
Covers are vitally important to make old music accessible to newer generations. I'm in my 30s and wouldn't know this song at all if not for this cover. "Leaving songs alone" are the best way to have them lost and forgotten to time. Vocal megastars from Dolly to Pavarotti sing songs that they didn't write, the tradition is long-standing and serves a valid purpose.
You're more than welcome to not like (and presumably not give attention to) a cover, but there is no song 'sacred' enough to not sing, as well as no individual qualified enough to make such a designation.
@@Snarethedrummer
I totally agree with you on this subject. Josh sings this song with passion and dignity, opening it up for those who have never heard of it.
@@ellenfarrell2785 Thanks! I came back to it due to another parody/cover, this one:

A hen-do being what the British call a bachelorette party (if unfamiliar) :D
One of my favorite songs.
🧡
I sang this song to my now 4 yrs old nephew when he was a baby to clam him down. he still requests the song one in a while.
So hauntingly beautiful and sad.
💙💙
He has such a beautiful. Never get enough of his songs.
❤️ I feel the same
Yea he does have a beautiful of the such nature.
Lifts my spirit every time !!!
He is an amazing artist with a beautiful soul.
Definately 🧡
Beautiful song. Because of it I named my beloved dog Vincent...! Josh version is very touching.
Wonderful comment ❤️
My dear brother....
I could have said that I love you too....
I should have listen more.....
I am sorry..
I miss you,
Alaric...
Don't know exactly what your circumstance is but it sounds like a loss. If so, I can only suggest that no loss is wasted when we engage it and bring its values into our ongoing experience.......................
I could never tire of listening to his beautiful voice..
Old good Josh from old times 💜
@@Anita8891 the voice of an angel
@@carolmiller9360 totally agree:)
Two of the best musicians of our time together... What more could we ask for?
Exactly ❤️❤️
Such a credit to him that he does not over sing this beautiful song... just the right interpretation. Love it.
Cathy Emms lovely comment
He has such great respect for music in its own natural interpretation. I've enjoyed listening to Josh for years.
Disagree. He may have more talent than anyone but not for this song. On rare occasion I've found covers to be better or nearly as good. But not for this song...and I think never, ever, for this song.
@@fireballxl-5748 Nobody sings this song better than Don McClean when he was young. But this is a beautiful version.
@@lukewalker1051 I had to look up the artist as I am old enough to be his father. He does the song well. I agree with you.
As always, breathtaking....❤❤❤❤. One of my favorite songs.
❤️
I remember seeing Don McLean in concert in the 70's. Hearing him sing this song in person was amazing. To have Josh, who I have also seen in person, sing this fabulous song, brings it full circle for me. To hear Don explain that he just wanted to pay tribute to the artist and in doing it, bring out the artist in himself.
That's amazing ,so lucky that you witnessed both artists singing live, and especially this magical song...❤️
WOW What a gift of God! Josh He adds so much deep beauty to our music no one like him ever! His voice can give one chills so deeply resonating to the Soul.
VAN GOUGH MY FAVORITE I HAVE MANY MANY OF HIS PRINTS.
This song reminds me of my Dad! I still have Josh’s signed T shirt and was one of the first 100 members to join so Still have it perfect in the box!
Thank you for lovely comment ❤️
The first time heard this song decades ago i fell in love with it. Thank you josh Groban for a wonderful cover of this song. I heard in one of your interviews that you also suffer from depression like Vincent and like me. It's really a hard struggle. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless us always to overcome all the trials in our lives.
beautiful comment
A talented singer who heals the soul.📀💿🌼🌼🍁🍁☘️
Such beautiful comment ❤️
Yes, I agree. It was a beautiful song when it first came out decades ago written and sung by Don McLean and is still a gentle, lovely song now. Glad Josh brought new fans to it, and that it is remembered by a new audence and is not forgotten.
I dedicate this song to my beloved Grandpop, Andrew Vincent. This is your song Grandpop. I understand and love you forever and always. Till we meet again in Heaven. Love, Denise
Masterpiece created by a Master artist 💕💕💕💕💕
❤️
wonderful....I can listen all day.............
Same here, 👵😥🕯️
JE SUIS TOUJOURS TRÈS ÉMUE D’ÉCOUTER CE BEAU CHANT À LA MÉMOIRE DE VINCENT VAN GHOG
JOSH VOUS Le CHANTEZ MERVEILLEUSEMENT BIEN 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷. ❤️❤️❤️
Merci❤️
Absolutely fantastic. I have loved this song for about 50 years.... Your cover of this is absolutely a tribute to the original. Great vocals and guitar!!!♥
Beautiful comment thank you
He is such a wonderful person with a gorgeous voice and looks to die for .I love him very much ❤️💕💖
Beautiful words ❤️
Amazing performance
This is one of the saddest songs ever written and I know Josh will give all the emotion and depth of a Van Gogh's painting. Yes, it's perfect. It never makes me feel sad as others often say it does. It came onto the top of the charts when I was young, and in a really happy and exciting time during my first adventure overseas. Perhaps that 'feeling' of euphoria prevailed. It still does for me. 7.2020.
Beautiful words , thank you. This song means so much to all of us,and the lyrics of it ,it's magnificent...💗
Wow Josh thank you that was beautiful. This was the first dance my Husband and I danced to on our wedding day. What a crazy song so dance to. After 28 years we separated. Now I can listen and enjoy it again.
Lust For Life. Irving Stone. One biography I've read at least 5 times.
Van Gough is one of my favorite people. His Art was second to his beautiful soul ♥️
I love that biography too ,so welll written💜
I dedicate this song to my son KingDavid, this world was not meant for someone as beautiful as you. I miss you, my darling boy!
I don't know why but I find him very charming whenever he sings.
💗
I think he's sexy
I would like to Thank my Divinity Teacher, Miss Musgrave for playing this song in class and the reaction from a class of rough n' tumble East End kids who for a few moments were transported into the beautiful.
it amazes me how a dead man influences people ....i understand.....,do what you love!!,you love it for a reason!!!!
One of the only ones who can make me cry,. He has such beautiful voice.
Such beautiful comment💚
Amazing and so moving. Best rendition of one of the all time best ballads. Brings tears to my eye.
Beautiful comment😊
Josh, for en røst. Nydelig musikk og flott stemme. Jeg blir så veldig rørt. Har angstlidelse. Musikken din gir meg ro. Nesten ingen er som deg. Tusen takk. Klem fra mamma Bente
Takk for dette ,spennende kommentar ,hyggelig å treffe deg 😊
His Voice is Amazing!
aww,i agree:)
I find it difficult pulling myself away from the CZcams whenJosh Groban is singing:)
I know what you mean 😊😊
It's like someone pouring pure silk into my ears ❤
that's beautifully said :)
Que paz siento cuando oigo la voz del gran, Josh Groban, y la canción que me hace sentir tan feliz.
Grazias 💗😊
Beautiful song. Touching. Thank you Josh.
 great Singer sings a great Song... absolute Perfect...I loved it..
Thank you for your comment❤️
Standing in Vincent's room above the Tavern in Auvers sur Oise, after walking the streets where he painted 80 canvases in 70 days, this song took on more meaning.
Emily Dorman amazing💙
I bet it did. What an experience for you ❤️
Gorgeous and moving rendition of a beautiful song.
The Way Back Machine takes us back to when Josh Groban was a very young man and when he sang, all was right with the world. I never tire of relistening his first album, when all he wanted to be was a baritone. He's stretched his vocal range to mostly tenor now. Pop songs. We all miss that warm rich baritone.
I totally agree, his voice was so perfect those years ago, his voice sounded diffrent, these days those pop songs aren't the same, I miss those old times and this masterpiece albums.. ❤️
Yes, I agree. There are a lot of pop singers out there, I miss the baritone voice, too.
@@waldmuffel9740 me too, it was unique and special ,nowadays he is trying to be more pop and because of that ,it's just not so captivating anymore..
This young man is beyond fantastic, thank you.
Thank you for such nice words
I knew so many young people THAT FELT THIS LEVEL OF DESPAIR IN THEIR OWN LIVES. Such a hauntingly beautiful song.
Katheren Reizel 💜so true
Me too.
I think this is the most wonderful performance I have heard from Mr. Groban. So beautifully felt and communicated despite his beautiful voice.
Wonderful comment❤️
Well done Josh, every song I listen to reminds me of my father who is in heaven but this one reminds me of my own frailty.
that's such beautiful comment
Lovely song,indeed, Josh Groban...and it,s true what you say🌈🌈🌈🌈💫
Thank you for lovely comment💛💚💛
Anita8891 Me too! What a great guy! He is so so talented.
