Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) had an eccentric personality and unstable moods, suffered from recurrent psychotic episodes during the last 2 years of his extraordinary life, and committed suicide at the age of 37. Don McLean wrote the song "Vincent" in memory of Van Gogh. The words are very meaningful and I think those who suffer from mental illness can find a deeper meaning and understanding of his life. Van Gogh painted Starry Night while in an asylum in Saint-Remy in 1889.
Listen to the song below.
