Such a lovely song, the lyrics, melody and delivery, just perfect.

Certainly this is among the most beautiful and poignant ballads ever written. It’s viscerally moving and melancholy and so simply executed.
”Vincent” is why there should be an “11” rating. ❤️

Don McClean’s talent on display. I can see why RP has had this on the playlist since the early days.

A physicist, an engineer, and a mathematician walk into a room and see a fire. The engineer takes a bucket of water from the corner, pours it on the fire and puts it out. The physicist and pours the water eloquently around the fire and lets the fire put itself out. The mathematician convinces himself there is a solution and leaves.

I like this song. But I was just reminded of an interview with Don where he was asked "Some of your lyrics are a bit obscure. So,what exactly does American Pie mean?" Replied "What it means is I'm so rich I don't have to work anymore"
wish i could figure out a way to do that!

This was such a perfect song for a girl in high school. Can you remember the angst as only a 16-year-old could summon? I would weep for the beauty and the poetry of this song. All I can say is, thank god I'm 50!

Next to American Pie, my most favourite Don McLean song. So beautiful and an excellent tribute to Van Gogh

I'll bet at least $1.99 that the negative comments about the wizard Santana were posted by people born after 1975. Have you listened with open mind to his guitar? Am I preaching?

Don McLean wrote and sang some of the most amazing songs lo these 30+ years ago. He is still singing them on tour. It's such a shame that this early promise didn't blossom into a fabulous career of continued genius.

Though it's trite to say, this is an exceptionally beautiful song both musically and lyrically. Vincent clearly had deep meaning to Don.

About the same situation for me. Except she was a friend who I had known since first grade. She OD a week after her 20th birthday. I saw her the night before she did it

Here is the story about how Roberta came to sing the song: https://www.superseventies.com/1973_9singles.html Hannio wrote:
There was a recent "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" where the question was who was Roberta Flack singing about in "Killing Me Softly"? The (somewhat cocky) contestant immediately dismissed Don McLean as being the right answer and subsequently went home with $64000 instead of a quarter million (or possibly more). He looked very dazed and a little sick to his stomach as he left the studio.

My 10th grade English teacher played this for us, and then he proceeded to not only engage us in discussion, but also to explain what the song meant to him.

Agreed. But Van Gogh suffered from far more than the "angst of an artist" He obviously suffered from a serious and persistent mental illness, most likely bipolar disorder, which is often associated with creative genius.A short article with paintings illustrating his mood swings can be found https://vangogh.bonniebutterfield.com/

Sadly, I first heard this on Ally McBeal, but though I admire Vonda Sheppard's talents, this version is the one true classic. I'd also like to meet the person who just gave this a 2.
