看过《梵高.永恒之门》(At Eternity’s Gate)后,希望以音乐回应和向梵高致敬。
脑海立刻浮现了Don McLean的Vincent这歌
我把三段主歌以中文重新填词,意思与原文大致一样吧
希望在聆听的你,能翻开歌词吧(我把英文歌词放在最底,懂英文的你可看看)
梵高的画作大多用了黄色为主色调
这电影以黄色和蓝色画面描绘了梵高看世界的方式
故此,歌曲封面亦用了黄、蓝、眼睛和鼻子为结构
电影中梵高的一句说话很打动我,跟你们分享一下
"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.' "

【中文歌词】
长夜与众星
画笔染成了灰蓝
即使季夏有短暂
探索一对连系暗处眼睛
云幕在峭壁
花草你画有曲直
冬天冷酷再侵蚀
以雪地极纯白和应风声
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.
长夜与众星
花瓣灿烂像火一样
卷曲淡云紫霭上
倒影催向蓝靛世界那窗
帆布变了色
清早那金色榖田
装饰世人有可怜
于他手中谁人又要冠冕
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.
长夜与众星
画笔挂在哪心上
签名有谁会打量
看遍故事而全部在那双
犹如从未见过他
粗衣与麻布的人
银针于血红那花纹
破碎及后来同白雪轻吻
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
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
