很久以前就聽過這首歌，《Vincent》，寫給梵谷的，那時是花旗銀行梵谷卡推出時選來做廣告歌的歌曲。
正好在MV台聽見，是我非常喜歡的一位女歌手王若琳(Joanna Wang)唱的，當我從網路上得知王若琳只有十九歲時，狠狠、狠狠、狠狠吃了一驚。
對於一個十九歲，卻能唱出如此內涵、有如此嗓音的女歌手，除了折服我還真不知道要說甚麼。
下面是Vincent的歌詞，搭配王若琳有點慵懶、有點空靈的嗓音，和非常慢板節奏，遺憾一點點，疼痛一點點，欣慰一點點，感傷一點點。
即使幾個世紀後終於有人了解，遺憾得是這份了解來得太遲；只是，也已經這麼幸運、這麼幸運了，經過了幾個世紀，終究還是等到有人了解。
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
Scatch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breez 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
Flamming 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
Wethered faces lined in pain
Are smoothed 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 know
For they could not love you
And still your love was ture
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
The world was never meant
for one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty hall
Frameless heads on nameless wall
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the stranger that you've met
The ragged man in ragged clothes
The silver thron fo bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken in the virgin snow
Know I think I know, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
Then how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps, they never will...
也許這種傷悲，只要有人類存在，就會一直如此，亙古不變。
