| Don McLean – Vincent (Starry Starry Night) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Van G, a sad and tortured genius, only understood and appreciared by his brother Theo (as intimated by the 1st contributor) Don McC - another barely recognised GENIUS. There are songs about virtually EVERYTHING - Sex, Drugs, R & Roll, Who, Where, When, Why and this absolute Gem. To understand, research and love an artist like this, and then to write such a beautiful, moving song is incredible. He also wrote American Pie about Buddy Holly - The Day the Music Died...'Sad news on the doorstep....' Thank you Don McLean. As Roberta Flack put it 'Killing me softly with his words ......' |

| Gerry Rafferty – Baker Street Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Like nearly all of GRs lyrics - it's autobiographical. A talanted wealthy SCOT living in LONDON and hating it.BUT ..'The sun is shining, it's a new morning......going home' And boy does that sax and guirar solo make 'going home' feel GOOD |
