    The document discusses the song "Vincent" by Don McLean, which tells the story of painter Vincent Van Gogh and his famous work "The Starry Night". It describes how Van Gogh poured his emotions into his paintings, finding hope in the night sky despite his mental illness. The song was inspired by McLean reading a biography of Van Gogh and understanding his struggles with bipolar disorder, which ultimately led Van Gogh to commit suicide in 1890, though he is now regarded as a genius painter known for works like "Sunflowers" and "The Potato Eaters".

    feeling of hope through the bright lights of the stars
    shining down over the dark landscape and night. Vincent
    trying to bring out his feelings and emotions unto the
    paintings. McLean composed a song VINCENT, some of
    us known it as a starry starry night. McLean was reading
    a biography of Vincent van Gogh when he stumbled upon
