I remember my mom saying that this was on the radio while my dad was laying on the couch and she said your dad was at peace...that was the last song he heard before he died that night from cancer, still brings tears to me .

HOW SAD, IT IS TO LISTEN TO A SONG AND SOME IS SO SICK THAT WE KNOW THE PERSON , MOTHER , FATHER,BROTHER OR SISTER IS DYING BUT U DON'T KNOW THE HOUR, THE MINUTE OR THE DAY OR NIGHT. THEN TO SEE YOUR LOVE ONE DIE. AND TO HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO A FAVORITE SONG, OF COURSE U WILL NEVER FOR GET THAT MOMENT AND THAT SONG. MY NOW DEPARTED HUSBAND FAVORITE SONG (MAY HE REST IN PEACE) AND MAY YOUR LOVE ONE ALSO REST IN PEACE ALSO. WAS BAND ON THE RUN. BY PAUL MCARTHY AND WINGS. HE USED TO LOVE THAT SONG. AND WHEN WE PLAYED IT OR HEAR IT. HE WANTED EVERYONE TO HEAR ALSO. I GUESS WE ALL HAVE CONNECTION WITH 🎵🎶🎵.

If you don't know the story of Vincent and Theo, his brother, look it up. It's a great story of how Theo cared for Vincent through all of his strange and eventful life. He backed his art which no one understood at the time and kept him in supplies though none of his paintings except maybe one sold in his life time, but Theo knew. Theo died about six months after Vincent. His job on earth was done. Thank you Theo, he was my favorite painter, hands down.

I think that it is truly a musical "oil painting." BTW...my absolute favorite song of Don McClean is "Empty Chairs." Anyway, fantastic comment by you.
