Vincent and the Starry Night

Mike Ueda's single "Vincent and the Starry Night" is now available on streaming platforms.

"Vincent and the Starry Night" is an art rock inspired by the life and paintings of Vincent van Gogh. Through images of night, blue, yellow, sunflowers, and The Starry Night, the song connects the solitude of one painter with the inner world of a contemporary artist.

Rather than portraying Van Gogh only as a legendary genius, the song looks at him as a human being who continued to paint within the fragile time of his own life. With minimal, poetic lyrics and a quietly expanding sound, the track avoids excessive explanation and focuses on the act of believing in a light that has not yet reached anyone.

Beyond the masterpiece hanging in a museum, there was Vincent as a living person. Beyond that blue, there is also an artist still trying to draw himself in the present. "Vincent and the Starry Night" is a song about the solitude and dignity of creation, like a small star burning quietly in the night.
