"And when no hope was left inside, on that starry starry night, you took your life as lover's often do... I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you."
His father had played a song for him. A song he felt the lyrics could express how he felt better than he could.
His young son's marriage had just ended, and he was lost and depressed and secretly contemplating his own suicide.
His father was very discerning, and knew this without having to say a word. He played the song, which opened up his son's heart and mind, and ultimately saved his life. For the time being.
His father inherently understood him better than he knew.
