“If this is success then something must be wrong.” “You must look for happiness within yourself. And don’t go chasing thinking that it is out there somewhere else.” Who hasn’t felt burned out from our profession and daily lives. This song has more meaning each time I listen to it
jan, I had Breast Cancer, been thru several surgeries, husband gone, lost my home, so much is still dangling. Christ is my healer but I still have to listen to his music cause he's had some trouble too. Thanks for sharing. Things will get better. You Tube is great, Van is great but God is even greater. I'm thinking of U.
+Sandy Hayes I read your comments on this song, I am a minister of the gospel and been through a lot of hard time but Christ found me when I was sick and lost, but I to Love van Morrison dearly , tupelo Honey is my favorite gid bless you and always smile the devil can't stand it when a special lady like you ,, smile's
Van the Man I have seen him live and he is the bomb.A funny thing happened at the concert. I went with my wife and she has brown eyes. So Brown eyed Girl is her fave by him. On the way to the show she said I hope he does Brown Eyed Girl. I said he probably will not. So he comes out on stage and at the start of the show he grabs the mike and says I really don't wont to hear you people shouting out sing Brown Eyed Girl so lets get it over with and he proceeded to sing the very best rendition of Brown Eyed Girl. It brought the house down and the show was absofukinlutly great. My wife was happy I was happy and the place was rocking. Thank you Van the Man
"All I did was sell my soul with a fountain pen... but I'm not feeling it anymore." I always find diamonds in his songs... Musically and/or lyrically. Thank you, Mr. Morrison ❤️ No drugs, no alcohol, etc. I'm addicted to great songs.
This is the best version I've ever heard. The band subtly raises the volume and intensity throughout the song. Great solos, great fills. The guy up front is a very good singer too. The Master!
Every one knows the big big radio hits but there is so much more to Van Morrison that is to be discovered and enjoyed. This and Into The Mystic are my personal favorites. The older I get the more I appreciate this.
I listen to this often - the arrangement is so perfect, and I love how the tempo is picked up close to the halfway point. The organ and violin and steel pedal, and that lead guitar is talent.The two percussions are well done as are the backup singers.. This is a perfection version and, of course, that Sir Van voice.
Had the pleasure to enjoy his appearance in Vienna, Austria, last Tuesday, 18.4.2023, and may confirm that you are right. :-D What a singer, what a Man, what a 'resonance body'!
"... have to look for happiness always within yourselves and don't go chacing thinking that it is out there somewhere else ...." I danced my life listening to these words ....
My sister and I both had seeing him on our "bucket list" and finally saw him last year in Pennsylvania. There were cars from at least 5 states in the parking lot. We are ladies in our 60's and share all our CD's. The live videos are so good. Caravan on the Last Waltz is addictive. Watched it so much. Most people don't know him and I always share by pulling up some videos on my phone.
❤♬ Happy '79th' Birthday to Van Morrison🎂🎈☘ ☘The best wishes for many more! 🍰❤Love ❤ ❤Great songs! Van! Outstanding band and Singers! ❤ 5⭐performance's by all...❤👍
The man is truly unique: his music is a synthesis of so many types of music. I apologise to his fans who know all about him but this excerpt from the Wiki page on him explains his eclecticism: "His father had what was at the time one of the largest record collections in Ulster (acquired during his time in Detroit, Michigan, in the early 1950s)[12] and the young Morrison grew up listening to artists such as Jelly Roll Morton, Ray Charles, Lead Belly, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and Solomon Burke;[11][13] of whom he later said, "If it weren't for guys like Ray and Solomon, I wouldn't be where I am today. Those guys were the inspiration that got me going. If it wasn't for that kind of music, I couldn't do what I'm doing now."[14] His father's record collection exposed him to various musical genres, such as the blues of Muddy Waters; the gospel of Mahalia Jackson; the jazz of Charlie Parker; the folk music of Woody Guthrie; and country music from Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers,[11] while the first record he ever bought was by blues musician Sonny Terry.[15]"
Well said ..as soon as THE MONEY become more important than the music ....the ego is the musician....as soon as the music becomes more important than the money....the heart is the musician......great truths will never bend for the false realities people create...
Wrong, read the history...Not your emotions....An early associate collected every nickel on "Brown Eyed Girl."...And hate is the medium......And not dealing "with anymore" over "Brown Eyed Girl" rights, is quite possibly a rebuttal..I believe he sings his life as a poet with injuries ......On record, loud interruptions from an audience member demands for this "Brown Eyed Girl" are met with with great disdain........A "Don't fuck with me.". and your interfering with my band! ..."
Thanks mr van for helping us get through hurricane harvey. We cant leave our house but your jams are bringing us together here in houston. Prayers for the people on rooftops awaiting for help
I cant stop listening to this.Van you will always be the man.And you have the gift of picking such an excellent backing band.Sarah Jory and the guitarists And off course Georgie Fame
The arrangement on this gig is amazing. Then he kicks it up a bit in the middle. He brings in each instrument in at the right time. Guitar work amazing. The slide. 2 drum sets n percussion. Organ so great. And of course that Van voice and the brilliantly song. I just love that pick up beat @ “she was pretending all the time”
fell in love with this song when i saw Van in 1992 in Dublin when Hymns to the Silence came out and he was touring the album. this studio version is not as good as this and his other live versions of it. such a brilliant song. it rocks along so subtly with a fluent driving backbeat in the background.
play this every day - fantastic - this man is an icon - the band here is stellar - the pedal steel is so sweet - can't get enough - he graces every genre there is
When he shouts “organ! !! Organ “ Song turns another direction and sounds even better Funny how he must sang it dozens of times but wanted organ louder to make it sound better and by god it did 👍
Van makes me so happy with the abundance of awesome music he continually masters and puts out. Thank you. I have a bragging bundle of Van CD’s which I prefer over Spotify. I like to hear how Van the artist arranges the songs the way he wants is to hear them.
I can play this tune back to back for hours. And have. They're definitely in the groove. Loved Van since long before Hard Nose The Highway, a relatively obscure Van album from about '72 or '73.
Van use to have a record store in Fairfax Ca. called Calidonia Records. My girlfriend use to work at this restaurant called The Sleeping Lady Cafe. Van would come in there and play all the time.
Sandy Hayes tooooooooo damn funny Sandy Hayes! I was 'poking' around in u-tube.. lil bit sorta 'down'-- thot of this one..Bammm.. your comment put a smile in my heart~ and Van put his smile in my soul. I have a rare double cancer..and quite honestly-- I use Van Music for part of my therapy. drs are amazed; I told them that if MORE people were to plug in van- and theyd be outta work! haa
GOD----PURE PERFECTION. Orgasm for your ears? Van in top form ( of course ) & how about all those brilliant musicians. Amazing concert. Wish i could have been there. From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
Guardare le vostre facce e le vostre espressioni quando cantate e suonate è come guardare dei bambini felici che hanno ricevuto il più bel regalo di natale! Per oggi è tutto😍Grazie🥰 di esistere ❤️❤️❤️💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I can't stop listening to these 12 songs. It is growing into my soul. I am feeling it through the entire body. Is there anywhere to get this recorded? Must be the all time best driving music. feel like a road trip just listening to it. 100 Mph would be a nice even speed. MC in Spokane

Cool story 🙂
Awesome!

Gives me goosebumps. I just love Van
Van telling the organ player to "work it "...
Sarah Jory adds so much to this version with her steel guitar playing, it’s flawless.
She plays that minor pentatonic solo and envokes Dickie Betts so smoothly!
“Sarah Jory’s a fuckin’ arsehole!”
What’s wrong with me???
@@danhines2296 no only evokes, it reminds me of Dickie’s playin’, Professor.
Great to get names of these wonderful folks. Do you know the fiddler's name?
@@bobhaskell8780 That’s Tony Fitzgibbon on the fiddle, a well known player on the Irish country music scene.
Every one knows the big big radio hits but there is so much more to Van Morrison that is to be discovered and enjoyed. This and Into The Mystic are my personal favorites. The older I get the more I appreciate this.
Keith Hayduk yes there is van the man
van morrison live
Well said man couldnt be any more true
I am rediscovering Van after years of raising a family and being totally out of the loop. Wow! I forgot how awesome he is!
Play Van's music for your family ❤
I listen to this often - the arrangement is so perfect, and I love how the tempo is picked up close to the halfway point. The organ and violin and steel pedal, and that lead guitar is talent.The two percussions are well done as are the backup singers.. This is a perfection version and, of course, that Sir Van voice.
The more he gets older, the best he sings!
Hmm I love Van but no.
The best of the best of Van Morrison. They swing so hard the pocket can't get any deeper.
Van is the only musician whose voice gets better & better as he gets older❤❤😊😊
Had the pleasure to enjoy his appearance in Vienna, Austria, last Tuesday, 18.4.2023, and may confirm that you are right. :-D
What a singer, what a Man, what a 'resonance body'!
This is truly Van at his very best. When all the old-timers die out so will great music.
Who is listening Van the Man in 2019!!!!!!!!
Muchos!! Yo entre ellos...
2020!
2024 🙂
...and in 2024?. The world, if it had any sense.
I am STILL in 2024
He is telling us a lot
You must listen!
Van M. had the words. Music to match. One of the best. 😎
Love how so many Van songs pick up momentum as the song progresses
This song can apply to anyone at any time. I am so privileged to have been a baby boomer and grow up with all this fine music.
The band is killing it and Van is just his awesome self.
"... have to look for happiness
always within yourselves
and don't go chacing thinking
that it is out there
somewhere else ...."
I danced my life listening to these words ....

Van is just about the only music that I long for listening to, and every day. Great version, so wonderful with a band as good and tight like this one.
How does he do it? Amazing gets better with age. One of the absolute greatest of all time!
Thanks mr van for helping us get through hurricane harvey. We cant leave our house but your jams are bringing us together here in houston. Prayers for the people on rooftops awaiting for help
I love how this version just builds as it goes. Pure genius this man is.
Me too SmorgShow, taped this show way back then and remember this as the standout track, needs to be played loud and on repeat🕺🎶🔥💎👏☘️

No one does it better than Van!!!
i can't get enough of this.. Thank you Van and wish you a long healthy life sir!
I have to listen to Van at least a couple hours a day!!! He is truly Awesome...😁
Incredible how they cook this so slow and good...every round is barely a notch higher, perfectly controlled, until the end is swinging like mad.
Pure masterpiece
fell in love with this song when i saw Van in 1992 in Dublin when Hymns to the Silence came out and he was touring the album. this studio version is not as good as this and his other live versions of it. such a brilliant song. it rocks along so subtly with a fluent driving backbeat in the background.
What a beautiful artist.
What a wonder version of this song. Van puts so much into it and surrounded by fine musicians.
play this every day - fantastic - this man is an icon - the band here is stellar - the pedal steel is so sweet - can't get enough - he graces every genre there is
This is real music!! Wonderful...
GOD---Van is magnificent & the band is BLOODY AMAZING.

I can play this tune back to back for hours. And have. They're definitely in the groove.
Loved Van since long before Hard Nose The Highway, a relatively obscure Van album from about '72 or '73.
Working on Sunday sucks but not so bad when you got van to listen to all day
Van use to have a record store in Fairfax Ca. called Calidonia Records. My girlfriend use to work at this restaurant called The Sleeping Lady Cafe. Van would come in there and play all the time.
Wow ! Awesome
Lucky bastard! I'm still jealous.
I love this live version... and I am completely taken by the band and singers...
This song brings my soul to the doorsteps of musical heaven
Van, always philosophical, seeking enlightenment and in awe of God. It is our good fortune that he does it through his music.
all i had to do is sell my soul w/ a fountain pen, and play along...this song came from the heart...
Thanks!
Hang in there Jan paro, I couldn't feel any lower until I found Van had a song had not heard b4. Made me feel better all over.
Sandy Hayes tooooooooo damn funny Sandy Hayes!
