Vincent - Don McLean - some of the lyrics are derived from scenes and titles of Vincent Van Gogh's paintings and are then woven together to describe the story of his life. IMO one of the finest examples of songwriting ever. In the VVG museum in Amsterdam there are about three floors of his paintings with the ground floor reserved for unknown artists. My favourite of his was a spinning wheel in the moonlight.
