In 2001, [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]’s own version was released as part of [[NPG_Music_Club_Year_One_Releases#NPGMC_Edition_.23_6|NPG Music Club Edition # 6]].

Additional lyrics and music were added by [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] before recording in 1995, at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same set of sessions as the other songs sent by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_St._Victor St. Victor]).

[[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] was able to listen to this record however and liked it enough to contact [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandra_St._Victor Sandra St. Victor] for a collaboration. Her original version of [[Van Gogh]] was released in 2018 (with its initial title [[Van Gogh|Love Is]]), when [https://sandrastvictor.bandcamp.com/album/sanctuary-2 Sanctuary] was made available on digital plateforms. Since [[Van Gogh|Love Is]] was not initially intended for [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] and contains no input by him, this version is not listed below. |
