Hauntingly beautiful lyrics about the troubled life of Van Gogh. Don also knows how to paint a picture with his lyrics. #HomeFree collaborations are the best and always ensure the featured artist(s) takes the spotlight. Just WOW! As they never disappoint please keep the Home Free coming!!
Your are so right...when I first heard this song I could picture in my mind the vibrant colors of the picture he was painting with his words... that's how magical his words are...
Such a good rendition. VIncent suffered from mental illness and took his life. Love the video. Don sounds great for 78! Rob killed it and those harmonies were perfection. Loved that they ended up in a painting….how clever. Good one D. Lynn!🤩😄
I remember this song playing on the radio when I was young. So beautiful and so sad. I’m a big fan of the A Starry Night painting. My granddaughters and I created a painting inspired by Vincent’s Starry Night, that hangs on my wall. So sad too, that Van Gogh’s artwork was not appreciated until after his death.
Don McLean is such a masterful song writer - these aren't lyrics, they're poetry set to music. Home Free is the perfect collaborator - their gorgeous harmonies & singing are impeccable & their respect for other artist's vision of the music is apparent. BTW, I so want a copy of the picture in which they're all literally absorbed.
Robs favorite song & artist. Don sounds great at 78 years old. Another great cover of this song is Josh Groban & Christopher parkening playing the guitar
A huge statement has been reinforced numerous times over the last half dozen years when notorious artists have collaborated with Home Free in singing legacy hits and in several cases have reached out to Home Free. Home Free has shown extraordinary respect to these artists to the point there is mutual respect and admiration that is very visible both ways. Home Free is a very humble group of guys who know how to pay their respects as they showcase these well-respected and well-known artists. Just wow, and we are the benefactors of this wonderful trust as they deliberately give each other and us a chance to enjoy once again a freshness to the decades that gone on before us with a wonderful tribute. Home Free is showing the industry a strong core value of High Regard, Strong Consideration, Attentiveness, High Opinion, and Due Regard for those who have set the stage for the music we enjoy today. Thank You Home Free, for your leadership by action that we all admire and appreciate doing things the right way!!!!! Notice the portrait at the end the center one has Don and Home Free amongst the ones hanging on the wall they are looking at. The warmth that Home Free brings to the song backing up Don is simply so pleasing to the ear!! ❣
One of my all time favorites from Don McLean's. Don's voice is still incredible and Rob's addition to this is amazing, his voice was made for this song. Many others will tell you the Vincent story and I'll leave it to them but I've known the story since before the song was origionally released.
Hi D Lynn. Your facts are correct. Vincent Van Gogh was Dutch and perhaps the greatest Painter of the Post Impressionist Period in the mid/late 1800s. Vincent committed suicide in 1890 at the age of 37 after a troubled life. Sadly he only sold one painting in his lifetime and died Penniless. His last painting to transfer ownership sold in 2022 for $117,000,000. Thanks for another great reaction.🎷🙏🏼🇺🇸
Love this collaboration! "Vincent" is such a great song by Don McLean! He originally did it in 1972. What a great remake with Home Free! Rob's voice is perfect for this song. Such a beautiful tribute to the sad life of the painter Vincent Van Gogh. He suffered from depression & committed suicide. He never saw any success during his life. But now his paintings are worth millions of dollars.
This is a sad but beautifully performed song by all. And it brought tears the same as it did first time i heard it about Jan.73 we had just gotten home from westpac. I was in the navy at the time.
I've always loved this song and Home Free has made me love it even more. Bonus, we get to hear Adam's sweet voice. Don still sounds wonderful. And, Rob!!! Thanks for the Home Free reactions
This is so beautiful. It's so amazing that Don invited Home Free to back him on his re-release of his two (arguably) most iconic songs. It is on Don's upcoming album. They also backed him on the title song, American Boys. There is an audio-only video on Don's channel. It's a bop.
Don McLean has an album coming out later this month. Home Free is going to be featured on the title track of American Boys. So while they were doing that, they did another song of their own. Great reaction.
I watched one of your videos a long long time ago, wow, you always seemed to be such a nice person, there's not many people like you anymore. And you are still doing it in your car, that was one thing I liked about the video. Thank you for being you, you just made my day, thank you.
You must listen to more Don McLean songs besides this and American Pie. I recommend Empty Chairs, Castles in the Air, and And I Love You So. I've seen him in concert and he is mesmerizing. The song "Killing Me Softly With His Song" was written about him.
Good day from California not Shadyside. Here to join our elder son and go to our niece's wedding outside Seattle on 5th of May. So sorry that your California win did not work out. Thank you for your reaction to this collaboration of Don McClean and Home Free. Your research and information before playing the video is much appreciated. Take take, enjoy some sunny days. Will be looking for your next Home Free reaction. BTW, someone commented elsewhere that our guys joined Don on a song in his new album "American Boys".
In a manic episode Vincent tried to poison himself by eating paint and drinking turpentine , literally trying to kill himself with color.. a few weeks later he painted the masterpiece "starry night" with those same tubes of paint..
Van Gog, not Go! Gogh is old Dutch spelling. OK; Don McLean - misery sells - is a smart rime writer, but a mediocre poet. Van Gogh is success by failure drama; how long does virtue signaling last? Emotional traps? Aside: sincere reaction. As always eloquent! Greetings from Holland

Don’s voice and guitar chops haven’t lost 1% over the years. And HF adds so much to this glorious song. Ron and Austin are amazing in it.

I always loved this song. Don still sounds amazing
Homefree always sounds great. Tupac loved this song. They played it while he was dying 😢

Such a pretty song upgraded with Don & Home Free
Robs fav songs, Don is Robs fav artist
I agree - both voices are similar in tone and quality and matchless beauty- the blend of all BGV's tells us all how talented this group of men are.
Don McLean has an album coming out later this month. Home Free is going to be featured on the title track of American Boys. So while they were doing that, they did another song of their own. Great reaction.
