"Space music inspired by the night sky."
This is a one hour program from the Hearts of Space Radio Show for the weekend of March 11, 2011. It features an instrumental version of Don McLean's wonderful song, "Vincent" (an ode to Vincent Van Gogh). In the words of Stephen Hill, producer, "The heavenly spectacle is never more brilliant than during the cold winter months. On those glorious, crystal clear nights, the chilled fog, freezing rain and snow is forgotten, and we look out to the stars and look back into time itself. It's a vision that can truly be said to have a timeless fascination: if not for its beauty, then for its mystery. The starry night is the subject of a powerful song by DON McLEAN, which is not about stars and planets at all, but the life — and death — of VINCENT VAN GOGH:

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.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, acoustic and electronic music inspired by the night sky and the quiet melancholy of the winter atmosphere, on a program called STARRY NIGHT.
