    I cried listening to the studio version while driving home last night in my truck to see my Daughter. She is one week old. She was born December 1st and is My first child and My Gfs first as well. I'm 31 years old. I didn't think I was able to have kids by this point. And i was Given the most beautiful sweet thing I have ever seen in my life.
    I was half way home and I don't know why but I just started tearing up as the song played. I missed my Isabella so bad all day yesterday while I worked out on the farms. I got home to see my little chunky monkey losing her little umbilical chord stub. A milestone

    Peace, as an awkward free spirited teenager growing up on the southside of Chicago in the mid-80's living around the way, I used to listen to Van Morrison to calm my spirit. His music takes listeners to a place where the sun never sets, where talking is replaced by the sound of life which is captured in his music. I thank my Creator for allowing me to listen to Van the Man. His gift helped to ease my spirit. Peace & Blessings

      +Naomi Kenan Isn't it it just amazing how one can never get too much of this man's music. Some of his songs I have listened to literally hundreds of times, but almost every time remains like the first. I came to him via a record club purchase (dates me doesn't it), "St. Dominic's Preview," when I was about thirteen years old. Shortly thereafter I heard the Bang Sessions version of "Madame George" (off T.B. Sheets) and haven't been the same since. His expressionistic vocalizations still give me goose bumps.

    • @ExtraPencil2
      @ExtraPencil2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    • @ExtraPencil2
      @ExtraPencil2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      +Cankuwicasa That's a hard one! "Sweet Thing" is in the top 5, but I've got to think about this one. Deserves a listen to my massive collection; that is not a hardship.
      But my favorite CD is the lesser know Veeden Fleece, which takes me to those misty, mossy, green hills of Ireland that seem to keep rolling right into heaven. That's some feat, considering I've never been there! (It's on my bucket list.) How about you? Oh, and I'll never forget the first time I heard TB Sheets... Van channels some of the greatest writers in that one, like Baudelaire. Okay, I'm getting into an area I don't know much about so I'll shut up. I love Van Morrison.

    • @Cankuwicasa
      @Cankuwicasa 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      +Naomi Kenan My current favorite is "In the Back Room" (Bang Masters). As I grow older and more nuanced in my sensibilities my favorites tend to shift, though in all truthfulness picking s single favorite is a hopeless endeavor. Hard to beat "On Hyndford Street" or "Take Me Back" (both from "Hymns to the Silence") for melancholy emotiveness. Hyndford Street is especially representative of Van's poetic expressiveness. As concerns "Veeden Fleece," I'd have to say I most like "Bulbs." Interestingly, the album has garnered widely disparate reviews. Some say it was basically hippie muzak, while others have termed it "majestic." It's certainly not his most energetic effort, but it does demonstrate lyrical acumen. I also like "Linden Arden Stole the Highlights," though like Van, I haven't the foggiest what it's about.

She knew me. She still knows me. Though time hasn't been too gracious to us. But Van will always take me back to her.

    I want to tell myself that the studio version of this song is better because of the instrumentation, but I just can't confidently say that that's the case. The tempo he plays this version at is just so much more beautiful to me. Usually when people play live they speed up. Some songs just sound better a lot slower and this one is one of them to me. This is just kind of a vamping, repetitive, soul searching type of song. It just hits different when you're allowed to reflect at a much slower pace where you can kinda process the feeling.

    I was just a kid from San Jose, CA when I first heard Astral Weeks vinyl, 1972 or so. It seemed like such a strange name for an album at the time but I was obsessed with the stream of consciousness words and music in it. Rushed out, bought it with scarce funds, I hated Jefferson Airplane, Doors. Thanks for the music, Van. You and Jesus saved me.

      Hope you believe me mate, but your comment make me cry. I'm sure you were able to experience true love; that's a true privilege. Not everyone is able to live something like that and I know it's not very useful to say it, but at least you were lucky enough to enjoy it in your life. I'm looking forward to find a girl who I can love with all my heart and viceversa. True love is in real danger nowadays, and it's so nice to see someone who did enjoyed it. Greetings from Costa Rica mate 👍
