The song “Vincent” has long been a favorite.   Don McClean wrote it after reading a book about Vincent van Gogh.    The song starts off with a reference to a painting (Starry, Starry Night).

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
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

This is a poignant and artistic song worth listening to.    I have continued to have it on my own playlists now for a half century.
