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
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set hem 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 you 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 and still you 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 wourd was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry , Starry night Portraits hung in empty hall
Frameless heads on namesless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged man 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
How you suffered for your sanity
Then how you tried to set them free
They would not listen , they're not listening stiff
Perhaps, they never will
听着一首经典的英文歌曲，被里面的旋律和歌词所吸引，“繁星点点的夜晚为你的调色板上绘上了忧郁和晦暗------”。这个曲子以前听过好多遍，可从来没主意歌曲的名字和歌手。于是将播放器置于重复播放，立即在网上搜索出这是Don Mclean 的《vincent》，是关于凡高《The Starry Night》油画的抒情歌曲。Don Mclean 通过忧郁的旋律将其穿透力的嗓音发挥到及至，道出了歌手对凡高无限同情，让人遗憾的是歌手作为凡高的知音却出现的太晚。这首曲子让我有喝Gin Tonic的感觉----置于阳光穿射的茂密森林里，清新却抑郁。
• 英文抒情歌曲与法语抒情歌曲各有千秋，这好像Ralph Lauren虽然源自美国，但特点也很鲜明。网上对这款品牌的理解是：混合柔软木材，放肆的花香及诱惑得麝香，庆祝真爱，温柔时刻及一起得感觉。我对香水没有研究，不过打开瓶盖的那一刻，我第一感觉就是喜欢。究其原因不得而知，这可能也是香水的一大功效，能把人变得更加感性。不过就其香型倒是让我想起小时候得一些事情。在我的记忆里，对于所有化学品的香味最早来自于力士香皂，其中有一款与此香水较为接近。80年代末我伯父（董伟忠的父亲）在深圳务工，那时候回来后每次必带力士香皂。当时我才开始上小学，深圳给我印象就香皂的味道浓郁而神秘。由于全家没有一个亲戚居住在我们县城以外的地方，伯父工作的深圳就成为我最向往和渴望的城市。可是事与愿违，一直渴望走出家们的我直到高二才第一次走出县城以外的地方----相距50公里的常州。因此有了那次让我改变命运的一次“打工”。也正是这种压抑能把人的欲望激发的更加强烈。上学时我渴望走边大江南北，工作的时候我又开始渴望走边全球各地，因此在我的生活里有了兰州和非洲。正是这个香味激发了我童年对外面世界的向往，再次遇到,心头回味无穷。
