2月17日。歡迎收聽今晚8點在Bravo FM 91.3【愛的故事】，邀請到我優秀的西洋音樂達人朋友 #howard #龔立煒 來錄音現場，和大家分享以男子名為歌名的英文歌曲Part2 !!
Howard上次曾為大家精選的歌曲中，有中年危機男Al、反省工作意義男Anthony、孤獨需要依靠的Ben、戰後士兵Daniel和Fernando、被分手男和不吃回頭草男John、熱血尋夢男Johnny以及需要被安慰的Jude等等，這一次更厲害了，男主角包括有藝術家、舊情人、冷血殺手、受虐兒、情敵、校園闖禍者，和追求靈性攀升的人等等。
今天【隔空歡唱】的時間，我們選擇美國詞曲創作人Don McLean 1972年推出的著名單曲【Vincent】(Starry, Starry Night)，這是一首向荷蘭畫家Vincent van Gogh致敬的歌曲，充滿對藝術家的理解、懷念和不捨，歌詞很長但旋律異常優美，值得一起體驗。來，我們和Howard合唱舒壓3分鐘。
【Vincent】
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
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
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
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, a 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 would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
