I always think of that "starry starry night" cover on the fat records comp. (i think it was lagwagon or nofx) on those clear warm summer nights.

 

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

 

CHORUS:

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.

 

CHORUS

 

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,

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.

not sure why, but everytime I hear Ice Cube - Today was a Good Day in the summertime it makes me happy. "...dropped her but off and then chirped out"

 

ATU!! I knew there was a reason I liked you seeking. it's your incredibly good taste.

PUTS!! also very good shit. the first album is soooo classic. I love just about every track.

 

Bob Marley - Mellow Mood.

this has nothing to do with the topic, but if anyone doesnt actually know what or who the buffalo soldiers actually are/were, then they should get a swift kick to the head, cuz that shit is important historical stuff, which the song even teaches... but i hear these dumb ass rednecks (well as close to rendeck as u can in Toronto) singing this shit on kareoke nite at a local bar.... ijust gotta say wtf??
