看過《梵高.永恆之門》(At Eternity’s Gate)後,希望以音樂回應和向梵高致敬。
腦海立刻浮現了Don McLean的Vincent這歌
我把三段主歌以中文重新填詞,意思與原文大致一樣吧
希望在聆聽的你,能翻開歌詞吧(我把英文歌詞放在最底,懂英文的你可看看)
梵高的畫作大多用了黃色為主色調
這電影以黃色和藍色畫面描繪了梵高看世界的方式
故此,歌曲封面亦用了黃、藍、眼睛和鼻子為結構
電影中梵高的一句說話很打動我,跟你們分享一下
"Maybe God made me a painter for people who aren't born yet. It is said, 'Life is for sowing. The harvest is not here.' "

【中文歌詞】
長夜與眾星
畫筆染成了灰藍
即使季夏有短暫
探索一對連繫暗處眼睛
雲幕在峭壁
花草你畫有曲直
冬天冷酷再侵蝕
以雪地極純白和應風聲
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.
長夜與眾星
花瓣燦爛像火一樣
捲曲淡雲紫靄上
倒影催向藍靛世界那窗
帆布變了色
清早那金色榖田
裝飾世人有可憐
於他手中誰人又要冠冕
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.
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.
長夜與眾星
畫筆掛在哪心上
簽名有誰會打量
看遍故事而全部在那雙
猶如從未見過他
粗衣與麻布的人
銀針於血紅那花紋
破碎及後來同白雪輕吻
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 would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will
【英文歌詞】
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
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And 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
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
A 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
