"it's more than just okay
in fact it is beautiful
and I might just stay here
and I'll be okay
you might think I'm crazy to carry on
rather than saying the long goodbye
and they say the ground at Vietnam is hollow
but nothing is beautiful for nothing"
a simple little song that seems to exist elsewhere.

“Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand”
……
“Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will”

McLean says he was reading a biography of Vincent van Gogh when he stumbled upon the idea of composing a song about him.
“For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you”

as always, the bc,nr lyricism is on point. another song that is hitting a little too close to home, another one that could be written about me. i love when art does that
It’s just been a weekend
But in my mind
We summer in France with our genius daughters now
And you teach me to play the piano
most importantly:
"She had Billie Eilish style"
"Movin' to Berlin for a little while"
"Tryna find something to hold on to"
"Never texts me nothing
But she wants to tell me
She's not that hard to find"
And "message me if you change your mind"
Darlin', I'll keep fine

It's a great feeling getting help from somebody, it's a great feeling helping another, and it's the greatest when you and another can help each other. I love being available to people
