The album on which this song first appeared, "Moondance," came out in 1970. I met the woman who became my wife in 1973. The album was a profound element of our soundtrack as we fell in love. I can't count how many times we made love with those songs playing in the background. She passed away 3 months ago at age 70, after 47 years of marriage and nearly 50 years together. When I listen to Van Morrison now, I cry tears of grief, and happy tears of memory and gratitude for the years we had.
I know exactly what I'm missing. Pity the poor soul that doesn't understand there is no universal taste in music, I don't hate him, I just don't like him.
I love how he comes on and gets right to it. He was the soundtrack of my college days... in a shitty apartment where my stereo system was the most important thing I owned.
Ok, this is probably going to come off as pretentious BS, but I truly mean this. You don’t listen to Van Morrison’s music...You feel it. You let your mind swim in the lyrics and notes and the sentiment conveyed in his many departures from the expected
@Joshua Dowling You know that big state of Texas ? That was part of a bigger picture once but the British subjects in the American colonies didn't like it and the rest is history. Our little country represented/owned more of the planet than the US of A or any of the great empires of the past ever did. Our apparent proud boundaries are the result of a couple of Milennia of history not just the last 300 years. Don't underestimate the British ! PS Love Texas !
I've heard Van the Man do this song in 50 different ways over the years, but every time I hear a new way, it is KILLER!!! This guy combines blues, jazz, folk music and sometimes even country music like very few people in this world know how to do. He is one for the ages!
I Love !!! Van Morrison !! In part for the reasons you cited .. And yet !! So much soul !! In his music !! Just Love it !! Love it !!! Into the mystic. !!! And from Ireland right ? So Cool 😎 !!
I always cry tears of Joy when I hear this song. It will be played at Memorial Service when I pass on. I LOVE VAN MORRISON!!! Every drop (which is only 20% - LOL!) of Irish blood is connected to this Man’ music
My dad took me to see Van the Man live at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in 1972 , it was my first concert, I was 15 years old! I am still hooked on his music.
Your dad was a good man. 6 years ago I took my then 12 year old daughter to see Kathy Perry as she wanted to see her. She put on an ok show. 3 weeks later I dragged her to see Van Morrison, he was really good that night, the band was feeling it, it was one of the best Van Morrison shows I’ve been to. On Monday after the show I came home from work and she had pulled out all my old records, and was so into the mystic. It’s one of my proudest moments as a father.
@@theID2 I think you could be right , any one I know that has ever worked with him or round him have all been heard to comment on many an occasion ,,,, Oh Jesus its Van again ......... so it must be that hes on his way.
@@rlms56 I used to wonder, “Why Tupelo?” I think now it’s because Elvis Presley was born there. So the song would mean, “She’s as sweet as the source, or the wellspring of my music,” or something like that-honey being the music that originated in Tupelo.Dusty Springfield sings this beautifully too.
I’m 46 years old and I became transfixed with Morrison’s music way back in about 2006, as a 26-27 year old. People would give me the weirdest looks when they would hear what I was blasting. They said I was weird or that music is for old people but I was like “the dude has written some of the best songs, lyrically, than any other singer/songwriter besides maybe James Taylor…” I’ve never went with what was popular, or what people thought I should listen to. I’ve always listened to what dug down deep in my gut and made me want to cry, laugh, take a shot of whiskey or just reflect. I’m convinced music could bring peace to the world, and so much more if only we would let it.
Yes, he is one of the finest of Ireland this great song of his came out in 1968 when I was born as well as brown eyed girl. His songs touch your soul because they come from his. God bless VAN MORRISON for ever!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😇😇😇😇
I've seen him live for the past 4 yrs he's better than ever his voice is truly remarkable and crisp as he was years ago maybe even better. Unbelievable
He is one of my favorite singer, The man was gifted with the best talent ever I love all his songs and his voice is so lovely What do you admire most about him?
um, folks complaining about the staging etc., you do realize that Agape is a Los Angeles Church/spiritual center in the New Thought tradition. Van is playing with the church band probably to help them Fund raise and find a new home after they lost their building recently. And if you dig Van's ability to channel Spirit in his music then you might try to respect a place he apparently gets spiritual sustenance from.
The explanation makes it sound like a New Age center and that it is not. Their ARTICLES OF FAITH are traditional Christian not New Age if that's what "spiritual center in the New Thought tradition" is meant to imply.
Sean Hennessy, you have absolutely ZERO clue about what you're talking about. This place is completely, only, all about living an empowered peaceful, forgiving and whole, healthy existence - mind body and soul . There is nothing they do that is a con, a sales or a peddling of anything for money. ZIP. I will HAPPILY take a look at ANYTHING you have to show otherwise. You know not of what you speak. I get it. You're not a wise, spiritual or loving, forgiving person, nor do you choose to do anything meaningful or positive with your life or your mind. But don't slamthose of us who do. And no, I don't go there. I live in Portland, Oregon. I just happen to want to be as good a person as I can and forgive the past and live a happier, more positive and WORTHWHILE LIFE. You clearly do. Anyway, this was specifically a fund raiser project.

I've heard it said more than once that Van's best performances are the ones where he drops into a club unannounced, borrows an acoustic guitar, and comes out and does an impromptu solo set. Just like this. I've been a fan for more than 50 years.
More than 50 years for me too. Saw him with "Them" several times at The Cellar in Arlington Heights in the 60s. He never stopped getting better all these years. Into the Mystic may very well be my favorite of all.
Van is notorious for not doing either of the things u claim to have heard He doesn't perform for free or run over his tme or play encores, or go clubbing. Do u even know where he lived? Romantic twaddle u wrote

Saw Van in concert 2 days ago at Newcastle and he was fabulous as ever. The young lady who was the backing singer was also a talent in herself - a fantastic voice. At 76 years of age, Van the man is still doing it :-)
@@kathrynclark2757 It was fantastic. I saw him for the very first time about 9 years ago then another time somewhere in between and then this latest time and he was every bit as good, if not better than the first time. He comes out, does his thing then goes away - no messing about and no small talk in between.
Musicians from that era all had their own original sound.Van has his own unique vibe and no one writes or sounds like him.One of the greats.So many today sound the same.
Man, another very moving fantastic performance by Van the man. Just incredible. The way he sings is like a river. Just flowing on and on like the song is not gonna end. Just the way you want it to be… on and on, but then eventually it does end. Very beautifully. Thank you. ✨
When one has a God given talent such as Van's , one must take care of this gift. No smoking, taking to drink to excessive and of course, staying away from drugs. It is truly amazing that his voice is as strong n electrifying as it was 30-40 years ago.
Ol can defies the odds. And another is Graeme Crosby. Some of his recent work is really uplifting. Lord knows but that voice is still there too. His son is a delight and hellava piano player
@Karen D Graeme Crosby?? Did you mean Graham Nash? Graham William Nash, OBE (born 2 February 1942) is a British-American singer-songwriter and musician.Graeme Crosby (born 4 July 1955) is a former professional Grand Prix motorcycle road racer from New Zealand.[
Hi Rhonda - whoops 😱 I can be such a doofus specially at 3am. I meant David Crosby ex CSNY. The liver transplant one. Lotta ppl in the US don’t much care for him but to me he’s typical of that generation of musicians- a flawed genius.
MDunn - Yes I probably got that impression from YT responses. They're really harsh unless the artist is a bill clinton on sax or something. My personal opinion of D Crosby is I luv him and his eccentricities. His later stuff eg She's got to be somewhere' Sky trails or most tracks on 'Croz'. all that stuff v cool. Not a great Nash fan, but a fine harmonist.
I discovered this beautiful song in the movie immediate family with Glenn Close and James Woods. This song played during a very touching moment between a teenager wanting to give up her child to a childless couple. And this song connected the young girl with the older women played by Glenn close who desperately needed the be a mother. A very touching scene backed up by this wonderful song. Beautiful and it still stirs my heart.
Oh how much I appreciate the extraordinary voice of Van Morrison , he is so Brilliant I have followed his music since his beggining, Belfast Nr Ireland .👏 Mary Canada 🇨🇦🍀

Van the man! Nothing more to say. I’m just gonna let this music take me back when life was simple, and people got along without getting offended over ever damn thing.
He is one of my favorite singer, The man was gifted with the best talent ever I love all his songs and his voice is so lovely What do you admire most about him?🙂
His music has been my companion during thee most profound times of my life. I love his voice, his lyrics and just Van Morrison ❤️❤️❤️ spiritual healing 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you sir ❤🎉it's the 5th May 2024 🎉🎉🎉
Nearly three years on, awaiting that old fog horn to blow for me listening to Van get down into this great song with a voice still strong and full of soul. He's the Man.
I've been blessed to see a number of great singers in their last years of live performances, from Frank Sinatra to Elton John. Morrison tops the list at remaining at the top of his vocal performance.
something about the way that Van sings is so unique and moving - it's like he is by himself and crying out to God. and to see him at 73 and clear and strong as ever is amazing. I fear the day he passes.
I have loved this man since the first time I heard one of his songs.........."MoonDance"...... my future hubby played MoonDance for me..........I was hooked forever.
I love this song. Van Morrison is one of the most amazing artist song writers of all time. This song takes me back to 1970’s when I heard it for the first time. Yes give him some more love. Love you💕
He is one of my favorite singer, The man was gifted with the best talent ever I love all his songs and his voice is so lovely What do you admire most about him?🙂
This is the song our daughter and son in law chose to play as their first dance together. It was also the one My husband and I chose at our wedding in nineteen seventy two. Much love and gratitude to a Talent given by God❤😊
One of the greatest sons of Ireland, Van Morrison will be forever immortalised in his incredible contribution to music and joy that touched so many including myself.
Fact: I'm alone on island and can only have one artist's music. Yep, Van the Man. So many great songs. So many emotions. And Iris, soul, faith, protesting true injustice. He does it all.
@Miz Rix Ah, k. didn't know...sorry to offend. Guess that explains why he kept leaving that word out in this performance. What is the accurate name for people who lived in that part of the world with that ethnicity?
There is no one like Van, just so amazed and happy that he is still honoring us with his soulful vocals and guitar playing. I'm 72 and he's been my musical, lyrical inspiration since 1965. Saw him Live 3 times in the 70's in Dallas and was never disappointed.
Yes! He has been of our youth ,our middle and will travel with us to our ends! Timeless ageless messages and music. How Blessed we are to have lived this incredible time on the planet snd ".. thanks nto the mystic"! Love you Van Morrison,always your Brown Eyed Girl(age68!)
Bruce S didn't know about TH-cam when he sang "everything dies baby that's a fact". I get to listen to this remarkable rendition of a beautiful song and say to myself, "Wow, Van the Man young or old still speaks to me and always will as I sail off into the mystic".
For me this is a very inspirational video, the reason is that Van does such a great job and we both are the same age {73}... "Into The Mystic" is my favorite by him, and I hope we both have many more years of 'And when that fog horn whistle blows, I gotta hear it, I don't have to fear it'...
So here I am how old now and I think about when I was 18 years old and heard this song in a very special state of mind with my love of 51 years. It was such a revelation at the time.
I love it! So many complain about the shortcomings of the equipment and the band and ignore that fact that Morrison just delivered a fantastic performance in spite of it all. That's what's called a master.
VAN THE MAN is still rocking my gypsy soul after 50 years! LOVE to hear him anywhere, anytime! Saw him at Forrest Hills recently, and he is BETTER THAN EVER!! Bless you Van, for all you have given this world!! Live forever...

I always tear up listening to this song... Van is like a fine bottle of wine, he gets better and better with time.
I can’t listen to this song without a tear in my eye. Not for any particular reason or memory, just because…
Me too. :D
One of the greatest singers ever in any genre hands down!
I pity the poor souls who have never been moved by Van Morrisons music. They know not what they are missing.
lbmathman I pity the poor soul who didn’t place his microphone correctly. They’re up for a bollocking backstage.
I know exactly what I'm missing. Pity the poor soul that doesn't understand there is no universal taste in music, I don't hate him, I just don't like him.
abnormaltoy your comment is laced with irony that your eyes shalt never perceive. Forgive them, Van, for they know not what they have done
I agree. Music.period. is good for many things.
th-cam.com/video/hrHFWX4ZYDk/w-d-xo.html
I love how he comes on and gets right to it. He was the soundtrack of my college days... in a shitty apartment where my stereo system was the most important thing I owned.
And now, he's the one and only vocal artist singing out against the scamdemic. Check out his newest songs if you haven't already.
Many of us were right there with ya...
@Bedrock Miner Don yeah ... been there too ... many times
I love that. "Where my stereo system was the most important thing I owned." I lived many years that way. :-)

Sir George Ivan Morrison! He is 73 now and he still has that Irish passion.
Much respect. Live Long.
What's that? A passion for the drink - certainly not for his musicianship. Fat bloated git he is.
Can’t speak for @Dr Crippen but as an Irish person he’s a total bellend treats his band members like crap
Yep! I just don't like Van Morrison. There's just some people in this world that make you froth at the mouth, and he's one of them.
@@gnyc7284 He is Northern Irish and that make him British. He was proud to be Knighted by Her Majesty The Queen.

For some reason I'm getting teary-eyed listening to this.
I always cry tears of Joy when I hear this song. It will be played at Memorial Service when I pass on. I LOVE VAN MORRISON!!! Every drop (which is only 20% - LOL!) of Irish blood is connected to this Man’ music

He plays a mean saxophone two
65 years old, and this song takes me back EVERY time I hear it!

I've heard it said more than once that Van's best performances are the ones where he drops into a club unannounced, borrows an acoustic guitar, and comes out and does an impromptu solo set. Just like this. I've been a fan for more than 50 years.
More than 50 years for me too. Saw him with "Them" several times at The Cellar in Arlington Heights in the 60s. He never stopped getting better all these years. Into the Mystic may very well be my favorite of all.
Van is notorious for not doing either of the things u claim to have heard
He doesn't perform for free or run over his tme or play encores, or go clubbing. Do u even know where he lived?

C'noath!
Saw Van in concert 2 days ago at Newcastle and he was fabulous as ever. The young lady who was the backing singer was also a talent in herself - a fantastic voice. At 76 years of age, Van the man is still doing it :-)
I bet it was a great show. I would love to see him
@@kathrynclark2757 It was fantastic. I saw him for the very first time about 9 years ago then another time somewhere in between and then this latest time and he was every bit as good, if not better than the first time. He comes out, does his thing then goes away - no messing about and no small talk in between.
Thanks for watching, liking and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love♥️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
@@georgeivanmorrison6769 Very well entertained indeed - long may it continue
Van sounds as good now as when in his prime. Unbelievable! Legend.
Musicians from that era all had their own original sound.Van has his own unique vibe and no one writes or sounds like him.One of the greats.So many today sound the same.
This is not the typical music I’ve listened to throughout my life, but somehow this song takes me somewhere no other song does.
Presented so beautifully from his precious soul, make me wanna cry. Thank you dearest Van.
Amazingly healing…I wanna rock your heart and your soul. Got to share this song with my dad the day he left this plane.
Thanks for watching, liking and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love♥️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
I have been listening to Van Morrison in my car for over 22 years and have never tired of it. It is amazing every time. Thank you Van
Luv it, after all the years he still reaches my soul ❤️
Damnnn! That voice, as amazing now as it ever was! I remember the days of Them in the mid1960’s. I grew up with some fabulous music!
His voice us still so beautiful after all the years
I love Van!
Peter Bell He stopped smoking and it got better and younger
He's very well rounded. Can play anything
Yes
Man, another very moving fantastic performance by Van the man. Just incredible. The way he sings is like a river. Just flowing on and on like the song is not gonna end. Just the way you want it to be… on and on, but then eventually it does end. Very beautifully. Thank you. ✨
Live performance isn’t about perfection, it’s about passion. He nailed it.
Wow One of the most gifted songwriters in modern history. ...still rockin' !
When one has a God given talent such as Van's , one must take care of this gift. No smoking, taking to drink to excessive and of course, staying away from drugs.
It is truly amazing that his voice is as strong n electrifying as it was 30-40 years ago.
Ol can defies the odds. And another is Graeme Crosby. Some of his recent work is really uplifting. Lord knows but that voice is still there too. His son is a delight and hellava piano player
@Karen D Graeme Crosby?? Did you mean Graham Nash? Graham William Nash, OBE (born 2 February 1942) is a British-American singer-songwriter and musician.Graeme Crosby (born 4 July 1955) is a former professional Grand Prix motorcycle road racer from New Zealand.[
Hi Rhonda - whoops 😱 I can be such a doofus specially at 3am. I meant David Crosby ex CSNY. The liver transplant one. Lotta ppl in the US don’t much care for him but to me he’s typical of that generation of musicians- a flawed genius.
MDunn - Yes I probably got that impression from YT responses. They're really harsh unless the artist is a bill clinton on sax or something. My personal opinion of D Crosby is I luv him and his eccentricities. His later stuff eg She's got to be somewhere' Sky trails or most tracks on 'Croz'. all that stuff v cool. Not a great Nash fan, but a fine harmonist.
As a young man, I can see why this music is appreciated.
Honestly, Van astounds me with this recording. Oh, boo boo...
Never better.
70's music was the best. Good that you appreciate it 😊
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I discovered this beautiful song in the movie immediate family with Glenn Close and James Woods. This song played during a very touching moment between a teenager wanting to give up her child to a childless couple. And this song connected the young girl with the older women played by Glenn close who desperately needed the be a mother. A very touching scene backed up by this wonderful song. Beautiful and it still stirs my heart.
Thanks for liking and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love ❤️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
Oh how much I appreciate the extraordinary voice of Van Morrison , he is so Brilliant
I have followed his music since his beggining, Belfast Nr Ireland .👏

I love all his songs and his voice is so lovely
What do you admire most about him?🙂
@@Marcosbryant222ciao Marco!🙋😍😘💘🌅
I first started listening ti Van when he sang with the group "Them". I absolutely love all his music. A true legend.
That was my favorite version. I love Van Morrison so much
Van the man! Nothing more to say. I’m just gonna let this music take me back when life was simple, and people got along without getting offended over ever damn thing.
When I'm feeling a bit crap, especially in this time of plague i just put on the Wavelength album, and drift off to a better place and a nicer time.
Same feeling here same thoughts.
You said damn thing. I'm offended. Just kidding. Long live Van Morrison.
@@barrywitt1661 you owe me a shot. You made me spit my last one out😂🤟
My favorite uncle was a huge fan of van so I have a soft spot in my heart for Van Morrison too,what a legendary singer/songwriter!
Used to listen to this when I was very homesick, the line 'when that whistle blows I'm coming home'. I did get home, could never live abroad again.
He is one of my favorite singer,
The man was gifted with the best talent ever
I love all his songs and his voice is so lovely
What do you admire most about him?🙂
Who couldn't enjoy this a true legend of rock still able to belt out one of the greatest songs ever!
he is getting better in a natural way. Age depletes energy but in his case, it has strengthened his voice as the conveyance of his evolving soul.
Like a fine wine
Well said tim ..
Such a sweet life-affirming song---full of sadness, sweetness, strength, letting go, and resolve to go on and on...
That's it!
One of the greatest voices of all time!
Thank you for sharing this fabulous and inspirational live recording by Van the Man!👏🙏 So wonderful!👏👏
I'm glad to see I have some fellow travelers. There is no one like Van.
I've been listening to this gentleman for better than 50 years! Mr. Morrison's wonderful voice and style only improves as he ages! Fabulous!
His music has been my companion during thee most profound times of my life. I love his voice, his lyrics and just Van Morrison ❤️❤️❤️ spiritual healing 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you sir ❤🎉it's the 5th May 2024 🎉🎉🎉
Nearly three years on, awaiting that old fog horn to blow for me listening to Van get down into this great song with a voice still strong and full of soul. He's the Man.
I've been blessed to see a number of great singers in their last years of live performances, from Frank Sinatra to Elton John. Morrison tops the list at remaining at the top of his vocal performance.
I was fortunate to see him in concert in Dublin…. What a trip. Ireland is such a warm and welcoming country. Best time ever!
something about the way that Van sings is so unique and moving - it's like he is by himself and crying out to God. and to see him at 73 and clear and strong as ever is amazing. I fear the day he passes.
It will break my heart !
I love this song ! One of my old time favourites xx 😘
Moondance album was and is the BEST collection of songs on one album EVER! Great to see Van's still got it, too!
My beloved Aunt Lucy, when she passed- Spade played this, I was crying like a baby. God Bless.
Saw Van in Denver on my 50th Birthday!!!
Pure Rhythm and Soul🙏🏼
I can't imagine anyone else being able to sing this song like Van the man. If could hear only one Van Morrison song, this'd be the one.
One of my favorite Van tunes since I was a much younger man, Now Im 73 and still moves me into the mystic
I have loved this man since the first time I heard one of his songs.........."MoonDance"...... my future hubby played MoonDance for me..........I was hooked forever.
Hello👋how are you doing today..
I love this song. Van Morrison is one of the most amazing artist song writers of all time. This song takes me back to 1970’s when I heard it for the first time. Yes give him some more love. Love you💕
Thanks for liking and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love ❤️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
He is one of my favorite singer,
The man was gifted with the best talent ever
I love all his songs and his voice is so lovely
What do you admire most about him?🙂
This is the song our daughter and son in law chose to play as their first dance together. It was also the one My husband and I chose at our wedding in nineteen seventy two. Much love and gratitude to a Talent given by God❤😊
wow
One of the greatest sons of Ireland, Van Morrison will be forever immortalised in his incredible contribution to music and joy that touched so many including myself.
❤❤❤
Fact: I'm alone on island and can only have one artist's music. Yep, Van the Man. So many great songs. So many emotions. And Iris, soul, faith, protesting true injustice. He does it all.
After all the years & all the times he must have sung this - he still rocks my holy soul.
@Miz Rix Ah, k. didn't know...sorry to offend. Guess that explains why he kept leaving that word out in this performance. What is the accurate name for people who lived in that part of the world with that ethnicity?
Totally amazing.... Van's voice brings me back to the days when music was magical! May he live long.... 'into the mystic'!
There is no one like Van, just so amazed and happy that he is still honoring us with his soulful vocals and guitar playing. I'm 72 and he's been my musical, lyrical inspiration since 1965. Saw him Live 3 times in the 70's in Dallas and was never disappointed.
Fantastic ...just fantastic voice. Thank you for the great years of great music
God what a great song shit I am getting old but still feel young
“Brown Eyed Girl” - 1 of the “all time” greatest songs.
Yes! He has been of our youth ,our middle and will travel with us to our ends! Timeless ageless messages and music. How Blessed we are to have lived this incredible time on the planet snd ".. thanks nto the mystic"! Love you Van Morrison,always your Brown Eyed Girl(age68!)
Bruce S didn't know about TH-cam when he sang "everything dies baby that's a fact". I get to listen to this remarkable rendition of a beautiful song and say to myself, "Wow, Van the Man young or old still speaks to me and always will as I sail off into the mystic".
me to my friend as long as you feel that way ..nice one .
Any reason we need to hear about your feces?
For me this is a very inspirational video, the reason is that Van does such a great job and we both are the same age {73}...
"Into The Mystic" is my favorite by him, and I hope we both have many more years of 'And when that fog horn whistle blows, I gotta hear it, I don't have to fear it'...
Vantastic
Van tastic
Sir Vantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you rock my soal since many years ....
So here I am how old now and I think about when I was 18 years old and heard this song in a very special state of mind with my love of 51 years. It was such a revelation at the time.
I love it!
So many complain about the shortcomings of the equipment and the band and ignore that fact that Morrison just delivered a fantastic performance in spite of it all.
That's what's called a master.
VAN THE MAN is still rocking my gypsy soul after 50 years! LOVE to hear him anywhere, anytime! Saw him at Forrest Hills recently, and he is BETTER THAN EVER!! Bless you Van, for all you have given this world!! Live forever...
That voice is still coming through crystal clear. Pure soul.
I know it’s all been said before…..but this guy really is the nuts……thank you Van you were the soundtrack of my growing up years.
Nothing like being in your golden years and nailing it!! You go Van!
Absolutely mind blowing. Van Morrison you still rock my soul. God bless you.
