It is not possible to talk of anguish, pain and suffering in the artistic world without at once thinking of Vincent Van Gogh. The swirling colours, the deep and strong lines and the vivid images he created are eternal testaments to the beauty only an artist with a great emotional connection to the world could recreate. The irony was that in spite of Van Gogh's obvious lust for life and an abiding compassion for other poor souls, he was still destined to lead a largely lonely existence. But the vitality, the sheer vividness of his vision finally got the better of him--and he took his own life--unable to get a hold of his inner demons.
This lovely song is a poetic tribute to him, composed by Don Maclean
