Posthu­mous psy­chi­atric diag­noses sur­round Vin­cent like a cloud—or per­haps even a cloak of pro­tec­tion. In his own time, he was diag­nosed with epilep­sy, schiz­o­phre­nia and sub­stance abuse, topped with a hunch of bor­der­line per­son­al­i­ty and bipo­lar dis­or­der assigned long after his life had elapsed. Mania might have encour­aged his urge to paint, but sad­ness and fear found their redemp­tion in his warm colour stud­ies. “[I]nstead of giv­ing in to despair I chose active melan­choly,” Vin­cent wrote. 1 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’s death remains curi­ous. Con­spir­a­cy the­o­ries twine around it like the diag­noses around Vincent’s heart. It is intu­itive to assume that Vin­cent had shot him­self, a lone­ly end to a lone­ly life, a final, des­per­ate tri­umph over one’s own demons. The self-ful­fill­ing prophe­cy that the arche­type of the artist always seems to car­ry with him. This seems to be the answer he want­ed the world to know, the con­fes­sion he gave to the police, to Gus­tave and to Theo. But peo­ple argue that a num­ber of details of van Gogh’s death do not add up to sui­cide, such as the angle from which he was shot. 12,13 van Gogh describes his fas­ci­na­tion with the night time sky in a 1888 let­ter. 10It would not be unusu­al for patients suf­fer­ing from men­tal health issues to seek refuge in the night sky’s poet­ry, and its many stars which seem to be sewn onto the rich­est of dark fabrics. Vin­cent had alleged­ly been more sta­ble in Auvers-sur-Oise than he had been in pre­vi­ous years. “‘ I feel absolute­ly calm and in a nor­mal state’. This is what he writes me six weeks before he’s dead. How does a man go from being absolute­ly calm to being sui­ci­dal in six weeks?” pon­ders Irish come­di­an Chris O’Dowd’s char­ac­ter, a post­man, in 2017’s Lov­ing Vin­cent. 12

But even­tu­al­ly, in 1890 van Gogh attempt­ed to take his life in Auvers-sur-Oise, a few miles north of Paris. Short­ly after he con­fessed to his younger broth­er Theo that for him, “la tristesse dur­era tou­jours” (“ the sad­ness will last for­ev­er.”) 2Two days lat­er, he sur­ren­dered to death. Simon Price of The Telegraph opined that the lyrics on Gold Against the Soul "switched from the political [of Generation Terrorists] to the personal". [5] The lyrical content is considerably less political than their previous album Generation Terrorists, and the album is more reflective of the despair and melancholy of their later work.

Though I am often in the depths of mis­ery, there is still calm­ness, pure har­mo­ny and music inside me. I see paint­ings or draw­ings in the poor­est cot­tages, in the dirt­i­est cor­ners. And my mind is dri­ven towards these things with an irre­sistible momen­tum.” 8

It often seems to me that the night is even more rich­ly coloured than the day, coloured in the most intense vio­lets, blues and greens.
