Don is a legend in music. His most famous song is American Pie, no not anything to do with the movies of the same name. HIs songs are very poetic. For the 50th anniversary of American Pie he asked Home Free to do a collaboration on it, which is one of their best, Don still has a great voice all these years later, he sang a verse, each of the Home Free guys sang a verse, and poor Adam Rupp nearly passed out from the vocal percussion because the song is something like 8 minutes long, and still was an iconic radio song. American Pie is about the deaths of Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens in the plane crash. This song is about Vincent Van Gogh.

@seanellio Год назад

It starts with the deaths of Buddy, Richie, and the Big Bopper. But it makes its way up through Altamont. (My opinion. I know people who were sad when they thought it was just a "fun" song)

@lengould9262 Год назад

I'm still convinced that the song American Pie, was a political polemic against US imperialism and the political assasination culture of the time, lightly concealed as a lament for some musicians. In an interview, he refused to comment either way, apparently still concerned with backlash. When asked what the song means, his reply was "it means ill never go hungry again".

@lmoein Год назад

He raised the roof in a small Dorset town, when he sang this as his encore, even more so than American Pie. This was a couple of years pre-Covid, and the last big name we saw. Voice was still perfect in every way.

@miamidolphinsfan 5 месяцев назад

and later today at 1pm Home Free & Don have made a new collaboration of this masterpiece

@markmei8186 Год назад

I bought the album many years ago for American Pie and as a result discovered Buddy Holly. But the song I kept coming back to was Vincent. I have never heard pain so eloquently described.

@c.s.m.k5737 Год назад

I love Vincent. He was one hell of an artist and he was such a gentle soul and misunderstood by everyone. He was a beautiful soul and the world wasn't ready for him. RIP, Vincent. I wish I could tell him how much he means to so many people, including me. Vincent, wherever you are, you struck a cord deep in my soul and other people's soul. You inspired me to paint.

Was at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam and can remember all of his paintings through the lyrics of this song.

@nanadeborah8717 Год назад

I cry every time I hear it. Beautiful.

@shirleydurr411 Год назад

I had the honor and pleasure. of visiting the Vincent Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam when it first opened and saw his self-portraits as well as his "Potato Eaters" and other portraits and sketches of working class and peasant folks ("Peasant Woman Digging" is one of my favorite sketches). I see them flash in my memory when I hear the line from the song "ragged men in ragged clothes" and think about the ordinary people and scenes ("Olive Trees" and "Treen Roots" for instance) that he painted in his unique style with his unique sense of color. I know I've seen Starry Night in person but can't remember if it was in Amsterdam or at an exhibit in Chicago or New York. Don McLean captures Vincent's poetic painting style so well in this song.

@mikewood6071 Год назад

Songwriters are the poets of today. Beautiful tribute to a great painter

There is a version where Van Gogh's paintings are presented on the screen as he sings about them. Its very touching.

Fantastic, sensitive reaction Britt. Don Mclean is a poet who puts his poetry to beautiful music just like you described. I love watching your reactions because they are always intelligent, thoughtful and come straight from your heart. You are one of the most entertaining and enjoyable reactors to watch on You Tube. I always look forward to your next video!!

@ronaldolson6210 Год назад

The lyrics are just as poetic as beautiful as the picture itself

@Yowza78 Год назад

Bit of trivia: the truly wonderful song "Killing Me Softly with His Song" was written by Lori Lieberman in 1971 after having seen a young Don McLean perform. (Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song, etc.) The best and most famous cover was by Roberta Flack. The Fugees did a version of this song too that also quite special.

@shannonwoodman9257 Год назад

This song still makes me cry, Tupac loved this song…we are all blessed to feel this song, because it took us through Van Gogh life, his pain..which is given us so much pleasure still..

I remember hearing this song on a nachspiel. A friend found her guitar and started playing it. I fell in love with it at once. Timeless song and such a great way of honoring Vincent Van Gogh

@MaartjeTosca 5 месяцев назад

I had always loved this song but at least 15 years after its release, it suddenly hit me that is was about the life of Vincent van Gogh. I still remember where it was that I heard it that time and how I wasn't able to handle my tears. Besides all of that I also felt ashamed because I am Dutch.

@denroy3 Год назад

So nice to hear you are aware of Van Gogh...our culture today is suffering from a lack of knowledge of the past. Starry Starry Night is probably VVG's most famous painting

@mikefrank115 Год назад

Loved watching a sensitive soul listening to a sensitive soul singing about a sensitive soul. Thank you for sharing.

@briansartain2752 Год назад

My memory of this song will always be playing it in the hospital with my dad. I'll never forget the look on his face. He always loved this song. He passed 3 days later at 57. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as him.

Britt, I only recently discovered your channel, but you quickly earned my subscription. I am truly impressed that you picked up on the tribute to Vincent Van Gogh. Most young people and even people my age would not have made the connection. Your empathy towards Van Gogh's struggles are part of what I enjoy about watching your reviews. I don't know you personally, but what I have seen so far leads me to believe you are a beautiful person. Your husband is a lucky man and may God bless you in your endeavors. Please keep up the great reviews.

@KooolTunes Год назад

70's singer songwriter Don McClean only had a couple of hits. But Vincent & # 1 American Pie were so good. He had a sustained career. His reception abroad; especially in the UK & Australia eclipsed his UsA popularity. Checkout Van Morrison - Moondance.

@pamelaschweizer1832 Год назад

Don McLean is a beautiful poet.

@pamelaschweizer1832 Год назад

American Pie by him about the day that music died about, Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper's terrible plane crash. See if you can hear the musical references in it.

"They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will" 50 years later and we are only beginning to listen, without judgment, to mental illness

@jaddison1112 Год назад

I have struggled with mental illness all my adult life and Vincent van Gouh has always been special to me. I have studied everything about his art and life story, and have cried because of his suicidal death at 37 years old so many times. His life story is glorious, but so very sad. Mental Health care for me in the 1970s was quite primitive, and I can only imagine how lost and taunted he was in the 1880s and 1890s. Sad beyond tears, the years so long ago, when he died of a self inflicted gunshot July 29, 1890, after lingering for two days. Only discovered by the world after his death.

@NickTubeless Год назад

like a gondola ride, like it

@MattJocks Год назад

American Pie is his signature song, and this is obviously a masterpiece as well. But I've always loved Castles In The Air, too.

@miamidolphinsfan Год назад

Van Gogh never sold a single painting during his lifetime....his brother who supported him would buy one of them every month or so just so Vinvent would keep painting and not give up hope. The last time one of his paintings went up for auction was 1990, and it sold for a still record $83 million. Don McLean has worked with Home Free back in 2021 the 50th anniversary of McLean's other iconic hits, American Pie was released (Oct 24th, 1971) and to celebrate it's 50th, he contacted Home Free to do a collab for it....it's a masterpiece (of course)

@margoburns9085 Год назад

No one could appreciate his art either. How ahead of his time he was. I am an artist and have always called him Van God...he was in a league of his own and attained such brilliance even through his struggles. My favorite song of all time.

@crissyb65 Год назад

The entire American Pie album is amazing. Please listen to Crossroads, Empty Chairs, and The Grave.

@davekahana1584 Год назад

One of the best songs ever written. Stunning masterpiece!

@NewFalconerRecords Год назад

Vincent sold only one painting in his entire life, but he was so ahead of his time as an artist. His paintings contained so much passion in the way he attacked the canvas with broad strokes. I had the pleasure of seeing an exhibition in Melbourne, Australia a few years ago and it was magic. This song is lyrically perfect. I've always loved it.

@drdr76 Год назад

and the one painting was sold the year he killed himself. Also, his brother helped support him financially and encouraged him to keep painting....think about that, supporting a brother for 9+ years as a painter who has not sold a single painting. That says something about his brother's faith in him.

@xzonia1 Год назад

@@drdr76 I really know nothing about Vincent or his brother, but it's possible his brother recognized Vincent was too mentally disturbed to hold down a normal job, but encouraged him in painting to give him an outlet to express himself and feel productive. He might have hoped Vincent's passion for painting would give him a reason to live. Whatever the reason, what a great brother! ❤

@John-re2qw Год назад

Vincent selling only one painting is a myth. One of his uncles, Cent (Vincent van Gogh, who Vincent was named after and who employed Vincent and his brother Theo in the art dealership, Goupil and Cie, that he was apartner in) bought some of his early paintings, long before his Post-Impressionist works, to improve his financial situation. The art dealer Julien Tanguy bought more than one painting from an exhibition in Paris in 1887. Too many people only know of the colourful works of his last few years, which are not his entire career. He painted darker, sombre works for more years than the colourful examples that his fame rests upon.

@loadedorygun Год назад

IKR and are you some kind of major art fan, like you spend your weekends observing paintings on a wall? I bet not. But Van Gogh is so OBVIOUS and it’s almost flabbergasting no one got it while he was alive.

@pamelaolnick4179 4 месяца назад

He captures the tortured life of Vincent Van Goth with such passion, his crippling depression and mental illness, Vincent heard voices, I believe that's what Don meant when he said "you tried to set them free" He was speaking of The Voices, he mentions his paintings, sadly Vincent took his own life at age 32, he shot himself, and it took him 3 days to die, it breaks my heart to think of the pain he went through, I love Vincent...💔

Maybe so. But consider that the artist endures that which he must for mastery of soul. We all go through these struggles, often in silent desperation. It has been called grist for the mill. We live, and die, and live again, until it is finished, grinding out our eternal perfection. Kriya gets to the heart of it and smoothes the process.

@roballen5718 Год назад

i can't hear this without crying. i'm 67 and an artist. as a teenager, i felt such a strong connection with Van Gogh, because i suffered abuse and had so much pain. i ended up in mental hospital, where my doctor told me that he didn't believe that there was anything wrong with me and that i was just an emotional blackmailer. much mental illness, in men, was just seen as bad behaviour. even a serious breakdown, was seen as just a tantrum. so , back in the 70s, things hadn't really advanced much, since Van Gogh's time. i knew that if i was to get better, i had to be my own doctor, my own therapist. so, hearing this song, is still very hard, for me. i'm still very glad you reacted it, though. i regard it a great privilege to hear it. it's as great a work of art as one of Van Gogh's painting, IMO.

@quinjesuis9187 Год назад

I loved this song before I knew who Vincent Van Gogh was, then I looked up Van Gogh in my world book encyclopedias and I fell in love with his art work, his art work is so full of passionate colors for a world that didn't have much beauty in it and he just wanted to bring joy into people's lives with his paintings, and he a passion for painting, he had to do it and do it the way he felt most passionate about, true artist in any field that are ahead of their time or that are needed for their times are always overlooked and pushed to the side especially if they have a message that goes against the times in which they live, I too cry everytime I hear this song, Don is a legend, with words painting a picture, and it seems like his music deals with death and things coming to an end, not totally sure about that because I have not listened to all his songs 🙏

I can hear someone else singing And I Love You So in my head - definitely not the understated style of Don McLean. But, I'm not surprised to find out that it's his: it has his characteristic mix of beauty and sadness. McLean turned poignancy into a fine art.

Beautiful, beautiful song. You can never look at Vincent's art the same way after listening to it. It is said that it was Tupac's favorite song. One of the greatest portrayals of Van Gough was actually in an episode of Dr. Who. Kirk Douglas also played him in a great movie.

Willem Dafoe did a wonderful job in the 2018 'At Eternity's Gate' about his final years in Arles. Deep.

The Dr. Who episode was the most poignant for me - I’ve watched since it started. It reminded me of Don’s song and vice versa.

@miaschu8175 Год назад

Vincent and the Doctor was one of the best episodes and, I agree, a wonderful portrayal of Van Gogh. It was written by Richard Curtis (of Blackadder fame, oh and the odd rom-com box office hit).

There's a video on YT somewhere where someone has set this song to images of Van Gogh's paintings. It's a beautiful video.

People theorize Vincent had a medical condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia. It’s a very painful condition affecting the facial nerves referred to as the “***cide Disease”. I have it too. This song means a lot to me. Your response was lovely. 💜

My favorite song of all time. Don McLean is a true genius.

I believe he wrote this song when he was seventeen. It wasn't published then of course. It always makes me cry!

Since you love Don's voice, you should listen to "Killing Me Softly" by Roberta Flack. It's about listening to Don sing in a small club before he was "discovered." It's a fantastic song.

I never knew that! It makes me appreciate the song even more. Thank you.
