Oth­er inter­pre­ta­tionsread into Vincent’s Star­ry Nighta sense of rest­less­ness, a very ner­vous and strained state of mind fleshed out by the play of light and dark­ness. In those read­ings, the vil­lage below rep­re­sents the calm he sought, with the house’s lit win­dows rep­re­sent­ing a guid­ing hope towards the future.

He himself wanted to die, when I sat at his bedside and said that we would try to get him better and that we hoped that he would then be spared this kind of despair, he said, “La tristesse durera toujours” [The sadness will last forever]. I understood what he wanted to say with those words. A few moments later he felt suffocated and within one minute he closed his eyes. A great rest came over him from which he did not come to life again. Stuart Bailie, writing for the NME, called the album "confusing" and "too much Slash and not enough burn", but did compliment its musicality, saying "the drums and guitars rumble higher in the mix, and massive, harmonising riffs are everywhere". [18] In his review for Vox, Keith Cameron remarked that the album showed Manic Street Preachers "skating gingerly over that treacherous Difficult Second Album ice". [25] Q 's Peter Kane was more critical, calling the album "superficially competent, of course, but scratch below the surface and you'll find few signs of life, just a vaguely expressed, bemused and bored dissatisfaction". [20] In Spin, Simon Reynolds opined that the band "motor-mouth a fine manifesto, but haven't got a musical bone between them". [26]For the star­ry sky, I still very much hope to paint it, and per­haps one of these evenings I’ll be in the same ploughed field, if the sky is twin­kling bright­ly.” 9 “The Star­ry Night” (1889) by Vin­cent VanGogh. Toujours is ambiguous in French in that it can mean "forever" or "still": so another translation could be, "(In that case) the sadness will still exist".

Van Gogh was at odds everywhere—in the church, in the artis­tic scene in Paris, in the com­mu­ni­ty of Arles, and also in Auvers-sur-Oise. In Auvers-sur-Oise, not every­thing was bad. He car­ried on a gen­tle romance with Gachet’s daugh­ter, felt tru­ly at home in Gustave’s Inn, and was so close to his broth­er Theo. Even if his attempt to belong was not always suc­cess­ful, there were moments of hap­pi­ness for Vin­cent, moments of peace. Did his sui­cide arise not from impulse, but rea­son? Did he calm­ly decide to put an end to his life? Or was there a per­son with whom he was in con­flict, even, per­haps, with his doc­tor Gachet, who envied his abil­i­ties and him­self led a failed artist’s life? For peo­ple with affec­tive dis­or­ders, it often doesn’t take a sharp trig­ger, a loud snap, to take the final step to the end. Even if Vin­cent did not shoot him­self, it was his deci­sion to sur­ren­der to death over the course of two days. “The sad­ness will last for­ev­er,” he con­fessed. 2 Murray, Robin; James, Gareth; Diver, Mike (23 August 2013).
