Example: "Vincent" was a song inspired by the "Starry Night" painting of Vincent
Van Gogh. The song tells the story of Van Gogh's battle with mental illness and the
tragic end to his life.
The song "Blue Period Picasso" perfectly embodies one of Picasso's artworks by
adopting the viewpoint of the painting. The picture begs for someone to let it rest
since it is weary of being stared at while hanging on the wall. It says it is “trying to
figure out how to get down, ’cause this solitude is bringing me down.”
