6 - Vincent van Gogh

This one came out of my iPhone just like this. No PS.
So ... to be fair: technically it ain't much.
But I like the result.

Jonathan Richman:


Well, have you heard about the painter, Vincent van Gogh
Who loved colour and who let it show?
And in the museum, what have we here?
The most soulful painter since Jan Vermeer

And he loved, he loved life so bad
His paintings had twice the colour other paintings had
So bad that the world had to know
He loved colour and he let it show

In the Amsterdam museum I was feeling bad
Been looking for a way not to be so sad
I felt the feeling from the paintings on the wall
And Vincent van Gogh was with me in the hall

And he loved, he loved life that way
His painting said things that paintings seldom say
So bad that the world had to know
He loved colour and let it show

Have you seen those last paintings by van Gogh?
Did the sorrow show?
Did it hurt you from the wall?
Did it follow you down the hall?

Because he loved, he loved life like that
You look at those last paintings and you'll get kind of sad
So bad that the world had to know
He loved colour and he let it show
