  • I was originally supposed to upload this yesterday, but I had forgotten my laptop in my mates car!
    So i just decided to re-record it all on my phone with printed out chords and lyrics lol.
    my apologies for the cars... just pretend they’re crashing waves :)
    Thank you, hope you enjoy

    I cannot put into words how talented you are- like- I’m just waiting for you to be one of those break out artists like Dodie or Conan, who I watched from when they weren’t that famous or being just a little treasure on CZcams to being where they are now-

    In my hardest moments, I listened to this song over and over again, feeling an immense sense of loneliness and sadness. Now that I listen to this song, I smile because I can look back at my past and see how I grew into a bit of a happier person. Yes, I can still feel sad, lonely, and even disappointed in myself, but I am equally proud of how far I've gotten and how I am choosing to live to the best of my ability. Thank you for recreating this very sincere and precious piece!
    Hope everyone is taking care and being safe, I wish you a long and happy life. Don't forget to smile and take a deep breath, you got this!

    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 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 in sight
    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 the 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

    Whoever is reading this:
    Your skin isn’t paper don’t cut it
    Your body isn’t a book don’t judge it
    Your heart isn’t a door don’t lock it
    Your life isn’t a movie don’t end it
    you’re beautiful
    be you...stay safe
    (By the way I’m also a small CZcamsr looking for your support)
    I didn’t create this quote
    just wanna spread positivity❤️

    I cannot even begin to explain how big my smile got and how my mood instantly peaked up when I saw that you made a cover of this song. It's doesn't tend to be on the top choices of songs for people to cover, so to see you singing it makes it all the more sweet. Keep it up man. Sending you the best wishes and thanks for this gem.
