Don McLean - Vincent(Starry Starry Night)

Feeling : Physically Sleepy, Mentally Forced, Emotionally Sad


Have you ever heard the song that goes "starry starry night.."?
I just found out that the song's original title is Vincent. That's my name! =)

Actually the song "Vincent" was written in 1971 by Don McLean after reading a book about the life of artist Vincent Van Gogh.

I simply just love the song.

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 daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours 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 and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' 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

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...

Finally..

*Dances and spins around* I had a good day today! :) Went shopping with my mom in IOI Mall Puchong earlier in the evening. The main intention was to get my suit for school prom. Here is a list of the items bought: Action Ladfigure Inc T-shirt Giordano Collared T-shirt BUM Equipment Underwears Smart Master Black Blazer Smart Master Black Bowtie Smart Master Black Business Slacks Smart Master White Tuxedo Shirt At last I've decided on my prom suit with the help of my mom and my sisters. For this shopping trip itself, I've spent a whopping RM708.40 , thus breaking the record of the highest spent on a shopping trip. You see, I don't shop often. I do my wardrobe shopping only twice a year or more when needed. I'm thankful that my mom is willing to sponsor all the expenses. Love you lots mom! Muax! Oh, and not forgetting, my Karate instructor appeared in the newspaper again! New challenge for fighters Arivalagan MALAYSIA may not like the idea of the karate team competitions

The Pole Incident

I went through an almost similar incident as Natalia's mini-tiang-embarrassment . You see, the exit we went through, there was this mini tiang thingy RIGHT at the centre of the exit. Yes, you would think I rammed into that tiang thingy. But how funny would THAT be? Noooo, what I DID was... I was walking and walking then SUDDENLY, that tiang thingy was going THROUGH me! (or rather under me) YES, MY GOOD PEOPLE, it went through my legs! VERY, VERY OBSCENE AND INCREDIBLY EMBARASSING BUT ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS TO SAY THE LEAST! -Natalia of www.xanga.com/misswishful/ But I was much more UNFORTUNATE . Yes, you might have guessed it, I didn't go through it, I rammed into it instead. She's lucky because the pole in her college was shorter, while the one I rammed into (near Asia Cafe) was much taller. A clearer view of the height of the pole a.k.a. tiang thingy ? Yeah, OUCH ! =( I'm so unlucky. Stupid @#$!@$$!% tiang thingy !
