Vincent – Don Mclean Cover by The Repressions

New YouTube video today… The Repressions cover Don McLean’s “Vincent,” live, by request on Twitch. The song, often called “Starry Starry Night” after the memorable opening lyrics and the image of the famous 1889 painting, is a favorite, and a beautiful tribute to the artist Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890.) It is a reminder that we need to extend compassion to those we might not understand. Thank you to Don McLean for creating such an exquisite song.
