I can connect to this song is like sometimes I have struggles but don't want to share it to people because I think that they dont want to listen.

Ragged men in clothes - not talking about actual clothes but how he put on a fake face thinking everything was fine but he was actually done and wanted to go

Tried to make them listen: Tried expressing their feelings to each other but no one will and he thinks no one will EVER will.

# data[].attributes.body
How you suffered for your sanity - How he was hurt mentally.
Still your love was true - He was hurt but he still had love and he was kind.

The purpose of song is to tell people is they are not alone in this world and can share their problems with other people to solve their problems.

When I was in my darkest moments, I really felt like I had no one and needed extreme help and needed talks with my friends. Except no one would actual listen because they never knew how I was feeling. And it just made what I was feeling worse. Sometimes it was too the point where i couldn't have the energy to get up and get water or change or even brush my teeth.

# data[].attributes.body
For people to finally care about him and how much he was struggling. He wanted to tell people he was done and wanted to go. But before leaving, he tried explaining how he felt going through everything ALONE.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the composer was more talking about Vincent Van Gogh but mainly his torment that he was going through in his life the torture because of his mental illnesses that he had. This was so sad and the composer was really trying to show that he was being tormented and maybe that this could even be other people not just Vincent Van Gogh and that is what adds even more of an impact on the song. Additionally no one and i mean no one but Vincent Van Gogh's brothers was even bothering to talk to him and ask what he was going through and the singer/composer was really trying to express the fact that no one was listening but still Vincent Van Gogh still pushed on and kept on going to do the thing he loved even if it meant suffering and torturing himself. What makes it even worse is no one was even batting a eye and no one tried to help him and this could happen to any person.

# data[].attributes.body
I can connect to him because sometimes I feel alone and scared about the world and what people think of me and that is like Vincent.

# data[].attributes.body
You suffered for your sanity -  He was through a lot and had lots and lots of challenges.

Ragged men and clothes - Poor men in poverty and being closely to depressed

# data[].attributes.body
The audience is like the people that have amazing talents but dose not know how to share it to others and has problems and can't talk about it and will not share it to other people.

# data[].attributes.body
The message is to always hear others out and help others no matter how long and hard it will be

# data[].attributes.body
I can connect this to when in sports I get underestimated and that they never really wanted my talents and if I tried and asked them they never listened.

# data[].attributes.body
The Singer/ Composer was talking about Vincent Van Gogh, The Singer was talking about his story of Vincent Van Gogh, and saying that he needed help but could not because he was lonely and had no one to talk to.

# data[].attributes.body
Me. I really think it would be me. Because I have so much going on but sometimes I feel trapped and alone because everyone has all happy faces and if I try to talk to them about it, we end up not taking it seriously even though I really needed someone to talk to but they will never talk to me about it because they never experienced what I had to go through ALONE so I can really relate to how he felt. Even though he had a mental illness I can still relate.

# data[].attributes.body
1. How you tried to set them free - I think it means that he was trying to tell the people something and they wouldn’t listen. Maybe he was trying to free them from lies.
2. With eyes that know the darkness in your soul - I think it means that they know what bad things you’ve done and that you might not be a good person sometimes.

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose of the song is to aware people what Vincent's life really was like and what happened to him with his challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
starry starry night i think it is saying that he is  one star but there are so many stars that he was never heard.
ragged men and ragged clothes i think it is him relate to poor people who need help but people dont care

Tried to make them listen: have attention to his talent.

what you tried to say to me: also have attention to his talent.

# data[].attributes.body
I can connect this to when I sometimes feel sad and don’t tell anyone because I think they won’t listen.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of the song is to tell people that Vincent needed people to be his friend and to make him feel better and the song tells us to be kind to other people today too.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people that can connect are people who are sad or lonely like vincent.

# data[].attributes.body
The song made me feel a sad mainly the words but then again it also made me feel hopeful and happy because the tune of the music is uplifting. Ultimately this song made me feel sad more than anything else and even sadder that this might not just be to Vincent Van Gogh but could also be happening to anyone in the world and maybe not just Vincent Van Gogh. Something else that makes this song really sad is that it is not just the torment that Vincent Van Gogh was going through that is shown in this song but it is also the fact that no one would help him no matter how much they knew he was crazy no one even bothered to ask him how he felt or what he was going through and ultimately he took his own life because no one would even listen to his pleas for help no one would bat a eye at him because he was different but then again it was not really their fault because they had not experienced something like that yet and didn't know how to help. Also as I stated earlier this can happen to anyone and that makes it even worse.

# data[].attributes.body
How he was already struggling and it made it worse by people not wanting to care or listen to his struggles and if he killed himself people would finally love his work and be more aware of what was happening to him

Connections i can make are feelings for the marginalized when there were poor kids begging for money during christmas.

# data[].attributes.body
i cant relate so much but i think it could be like when i try to say something to somone but they dont listen and then i forget

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of this song is to show people that they aren’t alone and that even famous people like Vincent Van Gogh had similar feelings too.

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose is to have people acknowledge the talents of those who have really good ones.

# data[].attributes.body
The audience is the people who had talents but none of it was used and appreciated. This also for the people who can relate the pain and connect to Vincent.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that the porpose of the song is for people to understand what it was like for no one to care or listen

# data[].attributes.body
The song made me feel kinda sad, because the story of Vincent Van gogh was good but as we listen more to the song it got sadder.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the audience of the song are people who can relate to Vincent Van Gogh’s pain. Many people could also feel like no one is listening to them, like Vincent.

# data[].attributes.body
the audience is the people who didn't listen and i think that those who are marginalized can relate

# data[].attributes.body
The audience is the depressed people who have good talent but are not acknowledged.

# data[].attributes.body
he was singing about how vincent vango felt what his life was like

# data[].attributes.body
Don Mclean was trying to talk about how people did not listen to him or acknowledged him and he says he now understands that Van Goh was not crazy but lonely.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel very unsettled about what he felt. Sometimes I feel like him. Maybe not EXACTLY like him but I relate when your trapped in a box alone with no where out because there was no one to be there for you and you were already struggling enough and in the song he was explaining how if he was gone people would finally care about his work. And sometimes I feel like that too, if I left would people be more aware about what was happening to me?

# data[].attributes.body
The singer was talking about the life of Vincent and his faces and challenges. He also talked about his talents but none of his talents were used.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the singer is talking about Vincent Van Gogh, but also could be anyone else. Although the overall song is about Vincent Van Gogh, his suffering can apply to others and can also be what others were feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
The composer is talking about Vincent Van Gogh's life.

# data[].attributes.body
What I think the message of the song " Vincent" Is Vincent Van gogh telling his story and message through his art.

# data[].attributes.body
The song made me feel sad because it was about someones sad life.

# data[].attributes.body
At first when realising the story, it made me sad and feel bad for Vincent and how he didn't live his bets life and that no one listened to him.

# data[].attributes.body
this song made me feel sad because of the lyrics but the tune was nice

# data[].attributes.body
The song made me feel sad because of the message. To me, it sounds like someone is making a song to help them feel better, or someone is listening to this music to try and cheer themselves up

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I think he was not directly saying it, but trying to say that no one is listening to him and he was already really struggling since no one helped him and he felt trapped in a box with no where out

# data[].attributes.body
The song made me feel sad though it was peaceful at the same time because it was talking about his death but at the same time the tune was calming.

# data[].attributes.body
The message of the song is always to be happy and acknowledge peoples talents while they are still alive.

# data[].attributes.body
The message of the song is how Vincent Van Gogh was suffering in silence. No one listened to him and no one knew what he was going through.

# data[].attributes.body
The message of this song is that Vincent lived a very sad life close to poverty. He was very talented man but no one wanted his talent and none of his paintings were appreciated.

# data[].attributes.body
the message was that no one listend even when he was trying to show them his passion and talent and he was going crazy but no one tried to help

# data[].attributes.body
The message of the song was that Van Goh had a hard life and was hurt mentally.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the message of the song is really about how mainly Vincent Van Gogh was tormented and tortured because he had mental problems and illnesses. He tortured himself not on purpose but because of his mental problems he could not really focus on anything and how he was insane and there was no one around him who would help him because everyone thought that he was crazy and didn't like him because he was different. This is mainly the story of Vincent Van Gogh  I think it was mainly based on him and his actions but it could be anyone really who was experiencing this but mainly Vincent Van Gogh. Then at the end of the song it said "Perhaps they never will." it was referring to no one helping him when he was clearly crazy and eventually the burden was too much to handle for him and he first cut his ear off followed by taking his own life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I may take a connection when I don’t receive enough positive feedback, during an activity.

# data[].attributes.body
Redo:
“And how you tried to set them free.” Is a metaphor because when the singer wrote this line it meant how Van Gough tried to perhaps let free of all his struggles.

# data[].attributes.body
I went to a vincent van gogh museum thing in an artfair and there was a tour guide who told us about the paintings.

# data[].attributes.body
“And how you tried to set them free”. This is a metaphor.

# data[].attributes.body
1. you suffered for your sanity=he has been through a lot of pain in his life.
2. Swirling clouds in violet haze=reference to starry starry night.

# data[].attributes.body
The song is about Van Gogh’s life

# data[].attributes.body
I dont know what connections I can make

# data[].attributes.body
1. With eyes that know the darkness in my soul means you see people in a different angle.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of the song is for people to understand who he was and not that he just shot his ear

# data[].attributes.body
I think the audience are the people who only know Vincent for his suicidal actions and lost love. Instead of his art career struggles.

# data[].attributes.body
1.sketch the trees and daffodils- alliteration because it ends with the same syllable or letter.
2. Frameless o heads on nameless walls-same thing as number one (alliteration)
3.Whpith the eyes that watch the world and can’t forget LIKE the strangers-simle (uses as or like)

# data[].attributes.body
One figure of speech is alliteration. In the part FLAMNG FLOWERS that BRIGHTLY BLAZE both of all the words that have caps have the same starting letter.

Another figure of speech is personification when they said CATCH the breeze and winter chills because catch is a human ability.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the people who can relate are artists like vincent van gogh because they also might have art career struggles.

1.This line ( With eyes that know the darkness in in my soul ) Personification because your eyes can look inside your darkness in your soul.\
2. This Line Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow is a methapor because the virgin snow means your pure because its white

I think the audience should be those who have the same or similar life as Vincent.

A connection I can make is, I tried to paint Starry Night with my painting teacher a year ago. I also went to a Van Gogh exhibit.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Personification (With eyes that know
the darkness in in my soul)
2. Alliteration ( Flaming flowers that brightly blaze)

# data[].attributes.body
What connection I can make is I saw the starry night at least 2 times and at thought it looked cool and nice.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection I can make is that me and my family went to a Van Gogh museum and we had a good time there and we also saw the Starry Starry Night.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Darkness of my Soul it means they are sad and lost and because this is personification.
2. Flame flowers that brightly blaze is not possible to be on fire .

# data[].attributes.body

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze that cant happen in real life and its hyperbole

# data[].attributes.body
What i think the purpose of the song, is to tell people about what Vincent Van Gogh went through and the detail of the painting of Starry Night.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose is to probably inspire he new or beginner painters or the purpose is to tell about Van Gogh’s life.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection I can make is that I tried to paint the starry starry night.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he is taking about his sad, difficult life that he poured out into his paintings. And how he gave a message to the songwriter that maybe he could relate to.

# data[].attributes.body
The singer was writing of the artist Vincent Van Gogh's life and his understanding on his life and feeling during the time period.

# data[].attributes.body
Is to encourge paitors to try their best and to not give up

# data[].attributes.body
Once i went to a meuse/um about Van Gogh and i remember that m/y family had a great time and it also brought us more together

# data[].attributes.body
I think the audience can be, people who want to start making a career or wanting to know about Vincent Van Gogh.

# data[].attributes.body
The people who can relate to this song are the audience and painters who are fans of Van Gogh’s work.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the audience is us people or painters and I think who can relate to it is painters who have like a story to their paintings.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of the song is telling what Van Gogh had to go through to make the Starry Starry Night.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the purpose of the song is to tell how Vincent lived his life and the story of starry starry night.

# data[].attributes.body
It was calm and peaceful.

# data[].attributes.body
The song calmed me, it was slow and steady. It felt slightly cheery.

# data[].attributes.body
To give insaparation on what your drawing maybe

# data[].attributes.body
The audience of the song can be painters and why they can relate to it is because artists can have a paintings related to their life

# data[].attributes.body
I think the audiance are mostly suppose to be painters because the song is about a painting

# data[].attributes.body
One figure of speech is a metaphor because I feel like the verse of “Now, I understand what you tried to say to me” Because it symbolizes the song maker “understand what Van Gogh tried to say to him” and that could be symbolizing how Van Gogh had an impact on him and sent a message to him spiritually, not directly. Another one is Frameless heads on nameless walls which means the building the frameless heads are on is a building that is not known. Another figure of speech is personification because in the sentence “With eyes that know the darkness in my soul” because eyes can’t really “know” the darkness in your soul.

# data[].attributes.body
The singer is talking about the paintings he made like the back story of them or Describing Van Gogh or talking about his life.
