Vincent Van Gogh. His painting-Starry Night.

Answer 3

Vincent Van Gogh was an artist who lived a long time ago. He had a lot of personal problems which affected his paintings. "Starry night" was one of those paintings.

The song describes the painting and Van Gogh.

I don't think Cat Stevens was the person who sang the song --- I think it was Don McLean.

Answer 4

Don McLean sang Starry Starry Night, not Cat Stevens, unless he has recently started singing it. It is about Vincent Van Gogh the artist who chopped off his ear and mailed it to a girlfriend who rejected him and he later killed himself I believe. Here is a link

Answer 6

Starry Night is about Vincent Van Gogh, the Post-Impressionist Painter. He suffered mental illness and had a very fragile psyche. You should do a google search on him. He was an artistic genius and was too fragile for the world, really. The song is about him and his eventual suicide. Do a search, he's worth reading about.

Answer 9
