Van Morrison has the Soul of an Angel
The night I met the woman who would become my wife, I took her to a bar in my hometown in NJ. It happened to be karaoke night. The first dance we ever shared was to this song being sung (not very well) by another patron. We had 25 wonderful years together, before cancer took her from me. Every year, until she was too weak to do it, we would dance to this song on the anniversary of the night we met. This song means so much to me.
😢❤ Tears.
you were luckier than many to have those years with your wife. May time and great memories bring you some peace to your heart. I too have experienced the loss of my soulmate. Still stings occasionally 26 years later.❤️
I too experienced a deep loss yet gain of the experience of having spent time with a man who cared deeply for me and I for him. When he was in rehab he'd play van Morrison and enjoy the warmth of the sun. I got to see Morrison 20 years ago with my mom in Scotland, while I was going to school there. What a gift, even if solemn, and sometimes painful, to have such music and be able to continue feeling and knowing their presence.
Beautiful ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
I had a really hard day when my son was a newborn and I was home on maternity leave. No sleep, attached to a breast pump, he was colicky and crying and I was completely overwhelmed. I met my husband at the door, told him I'd be back by sunset, and took off for a drive. I listened to this song on repeat, nonstop, for almost 4 hours, while I drove deep into the Kentucky hills with the windows down, taking in the spring sunshine and the smell of new life. It was exactly what I needed and it healed me. I am forever in love with this song and the way it makes me feel.
💕Thanks for the endless love and support you have constantly showed me. I'm forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love towards me, where are you watching from.🌹. You can send me a M. A. I. L
Still listening 54 years later. Classic Van Morrison who wrote and sang this song. If ever there was a perfect song, this is it.
My most favorite right now.. it’s been on repeat all day!- xo I’m letting my soul & spirit fly!!!
No matter where/what I am in my life. This makes me feel better, perks me up.
I told my kids I want this at my memorial service.
Van the Man rocks my gypsy soul all these years, lo darling traveller 🌹🌹
Bob Dylan once said that Van was his favorite songwriter. That's one hell of a compliment. Saw Bobby, Van, and poor crazy Joni in concert in 1999. Amazing concert.
Jeffrey Middlebrook how exciting you saw them all in concert. Me and my late husband used to go to a lot of concerts. I miss going to them.
I had said a few months ago I wanted this played at my funeral. Unbeknownst to me it was played at my cousins funeral yesterday! ❤️
When the 7th trumpet blows we will be going home into the mistic that the words I add when the horns play in this song TY VAN MORRISON for your music!
My oldest daughter had colic as an infant. I would turn on this song and dance her round and round the den on my shoulder until she fell asllep. She is 23 now but this will always be our song.
Thanks for the endless love and support you have constantly showed me. I'm forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love towards me, where are you watching from. You can send me a M. A. I. L
When I hear this it reminds me of patch adams xx R.I.P. Robin Williams

This song is a visionary.masterpiece, I was 19 when I bought this album sharing
my first apt. with 2 friends it was loud & we were usually stoned .
When Van Morrison came onto the turntable everyone just shut up
leaned back & listened.
Van Morrison is my favorite Irishman, a man with Soul and Love in his heart. O K
Beautiful always love forever perfect voice superstar really a moment there!!! 😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😊❤😊🎉🎉🎉😊😊

This song 🎉
Um grande cantor.
You are a true artist, my friend. This is up there with Caledonia soul music . A moment only a true artist can understand. 110%❤
This song reminds me of my last girlfriend
I am 75 years old and when I saw the comment from a 28 year old first time listener of Van Morrison singing Into the Mystic it brought a tear to my eye. The listener
simply said " This is the most beautiful song in the world " and I knew exactly what they felt. Always , my most beautiful song.
David, I too am 75 and this is one of the songs I have requested to be played at my funeral. It is a most beautiful song and I love the cosmic references. “We were born before the wind, Also younger than the stars”It reminds me too of Desiderata “you are a child of the universe no less than the trees or the stars”.
@@trevorscott5190 IM ALSO 75 LOVE LOVE DIS SONG ALSO WHEN THE HEALING HAS BEGUN BY VAN MORRISON
When a 28 and a 75 year old have the same reaction to a song...that's ART. I have been a Van fan since high school (I'm 69) and was thrilled to get to see him in concert in Phoenix for my bday this year, and what he does is still art.
@@danielseven7927 Touche'!
Van won't say "Gypsy" anymore in concert ... he must be "woke" now 😂
1/6/2021- This was my wife’s birthday. I lost her on Mother’s Day of 2008. A year ago I was diagnosed with Stage 4 small cell lung cancer. I have just months, if not weeks, before that fog horn blows for me, and I will once again join my wife somewhere into the Mystic. Please take care of each other, love each other, keep listening to the great music of Van Morrison, and cherish the people you love, and the people who love you. No matter their faith or beliefs, everyone in your circle has something of value to offer- cherish that. Love to all,
-Garry
Thanks for being here with us. I wish i could know every one of you. We are all somewhere upon the mystic. Sorry for my english i’m french and 20yo , form canada i hope you have a great friday night garry joseph!
Merci, Alexandre. Ton anglais est bon. :-)

❤Rest in peace brother. ❤
Rest in peace my friend
I am 28 years old, I just heard this song for the first time and it was pretty much a religious experience. This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
I'm 64 and I just heard it about a week ago I thought I knew most of the Van Morrison hits but I had actually never heard this before. It's beauty is stunning. It's like the music and the words we're created at the same time.
My oldest daughter is 26 and my youngest is 20 and I made sure they knew this artist...nothing calms me like this song :)
Welcome, grew up with Vans music
This was my wedding song
I've loved this song for over 50 yrs; I am 68. It was a religious exp for me, too.. Then, and still.
On an extremely starry night as my man and I were driving through Arizona in our Semi, I made him pull over at a rest area. He said what's up. I made like we had a tire problem. As he came around to the jump seat side I'd put this song on. No tire problem. I just wanted to dance under the stars to this song with my fella.
Lol. . . He's been gone now for 3 1/2 years now. . . . What a great memory!
What a great memory
Most awesome and beyond fantastic sams just like my heart is still with you as it is with her enjoy never forget
What a wonderful memory
I can picture it like I was there, I can smell it.. you’ll get to have that dance again one day
😢
My dad passed away Wednesday morning and this was his favorite song so I had to play it for him one last time
in your grief you wrote about something uplifting and joyous, which is such a beautiful tribute to your dad. Mine died 25 years ago and there's not a day I don't think of him but now those thoughts are mostly the appreciative happy/sad wouldn't he have LOVED this! and those are really a thank you for the kids he raised turning out ok.
Hope you're ok and have treasured memories ahead x
I have stage 4 COPD. This is the song that will be played as I am carried out. I pray that you find peace in your soul. You can tell a lot about a person by what they listen to. I'm sure I would have liked your dad.
We never really die, we're made of star dust
I am sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. What a sweet way to honor him. This was one of my husband's favorites too. He's been gone for 20 years but I play it often and keep it alive in a playlist for our now grown children just as a reminder of who there dad was when he was young.. ❤️
I love that other generations have an appreciation for music “before their time” - this song just makes my soul happy….😊😊
correction: your gypsy soul happy. 😉
Showed this song to my 17yr old grandson and he loved. Has a old soul and loves music.
It touches my soul too! ❤And same with Moondance!❤
Ha my grandsons name is hendrix he has no idea what the name reprisents
Van Morrison forever. This is a masterpiece if I ever heard one. Words can’t describe how Van’s music touches my Gypsy soul. 🍀💚🎶
I'm fifyfive and can't get enough
simply .... Vantastic !!
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼
Red hair na temperer to match the man

Listened to this at age 17. Listening at age 66.
Still the same. It doesn't get any better than this.
THIS is a fact.
I gave birth to my first child with this song playing in the background. Very special song and Van Morrison is the best when you need comfort ❤️
I am a major music lover, and so I don't say this lightly.....this is one of the top songs ever recorded
same
Agree over AND over …and magnificently delivered and mastered by the one poet who brought this all together…magnificently ❤
Agreed!
Absolutely
I concur
I was introduced to this AMAZING song by my Good Friend Liz Faour-Moser. It was for my Wife’s funeral. She died December 22, 2023. She would have been 50 years old. My Son and I LOVE HER, and we Love Liz too. Thank you Liz❤️🙏🏾
One of the best songs ever recorded.
One of Belfast's greatest sons. Born on the East side of the city, close to where I live. He's a bloody genius.
D man
This has been my favorite Van Morrison song for 30 + years. There’s something so magical about it, I never tire of it. Just pure genius.
Without a doubt, our generation had THE BEST music! ❤❤

I hope I have a song my girls remember me by that’s so nice ❤
Best song ever. My favorite song too. ❤
This song digs down in my soul and recovers feelings I thought were gone
This is one of the most perfectly recorded songs in history.
The gorgeous blend of music along with Van Morrison's voice is beyond my words tonight.
I get goose-bumps and tears when I hear this.
So do I
Listen to Top of the World
One of the most beautiful and meaningful songs ever written
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love ♥️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
Amen!!!
Oh! Oh! I can't stand it!
Yaaaaaassss!!!!
Thanks for being the best fans possible ❤️ kindly note that you can send me a mail via my google address just by adding 0 (zero to my full Name) and that’s makes up my google address. Looking forward to receiving your mails.
Nothing beats a classic song on vinyl, with the hisses that medium makes.
Why do i smile and cry at the same time when i hear this song ????
Andrew Bull absolutely same feeling
The same
Because it touches your very soul..x
Multi Tasking......
because its beautiful
My wife and I have been married 51 years. We saw Van live twice at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in the early 70's. Huge fans and very lucky to have seen him "back in the day".
wow that's so wonderful...t.hank you for sharing
And “back in the day” was when music was great, not anything like it is now
I listened to this song before and after my heart surgery. It got me through it. Thank you Van.
This is the last song which I had played at my beloved husband’s funeral service on 12/28/2019. He was 62 and had such a wonderful taste and appreciation of music from a beautiful bygone era. Ride easy on one of your beloved Harley-Davidson bikes while the wind blows thru your soft silver hair. I love you and will miss you until the end of my time. Rest In Peace ........ cedarknoll
My heart goes out to you for your loss. You surely loved him well...
Ride on sweet brother, knees in the breeze riding into the mystic 👊🏽
God bless you...
Peace be with you.
A truly beautiful song and a wonderful tribute to your late husband.
I hope it might bring wonderful memories of your life together.
"Smell the sea and feel the sky..." Magnificent lyrics. My favorite Van Morrison song.
three minutes and thirty four seconds of music perfection.
This is kind of weird, I was listening to this song and I was taking a long walk and there is a park and in the park was a couple dancing. It instantly reminded me of my ex fiance and I dancing in the living room to this song. I took a picture of the couple dancing and I was getting ready to call my ex to tell her what I just experienced when my cell phone rang and it was my ex! God sure likes playing games with my head like that. By the way, I am a minister that helps needy and homeless people in SWFLA!
At 1:13 , ‘when that fog horn blows (fog horn sound in the background), I will be coming home’, is the imagery of the boat cruising inside a cold misty Irish harbour.
Just Saw this? I'M an 11-3 Born Child of God. Scorpio Sun 🌞
If you dont feel this song deep in your soul, you are missing a gift!
This song still gives me chills...after all these years.
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love ♥️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
Me too!!!

Absolutely beautiful combination of music and lyrics. This is the kind of song every songwriter dreams of making. That transcendant blend of music, lyric, and melody that rocks the soul and brings you back to the days of old! They just don't make music like this any more. Kind of sad!
No they do not. I am so happy I have an 18yr son who loves most genres of music, old and new, and makes me smile when he discovers older artists like Van Morrison. Now he is listening to all the songs from a favorite growing up, Thin Lizzy, Boys Are Back In Town, bought him the cd when he was 5, as of today he has listened to all of their 12 Albums, If he likes a song from an artist, he will listen to all of the artist songs.
Professional experience ever gorgeous and beautiful
@@lilmisssunshine677 I also have an 18 year old son who shares my same tastes in music which is basically all music that makes me feel good no matter the genre.
Such is the alchemy of the singer's craft, when he blends words and sounds in such a way that you don't hear it with your ears; you hear it with your soul. You are touched by it on a deeper level. It changes you. Transports you. And you are, somehow, never the same again.
Music makes time stand still.
Nice
yes, very nice
jbx1967 YES!
When my daughter first heard this song about 7 years old...she said, mommy, I remember this song for some reason. Hmm I played it over and over when I was pregnant with her.
Perfect!
The first side of Moondance is just magical. I inherited my uncle's LP collection when he passed away and popped this on when we were cleaning out his house. Not sure if he was nudging me from beyond to pick this one but I just broke into tears.
Cool!!
That's pretty cool. Still one of my top five albums. No doubt in my mind that there was a force - or call it a spirit if you will- which had you pick out that album at that moment.
I would say he's reaching out to let you know his spirit is with you. You were meant to hear it just then.
😭
I just came here to listen to this song because I’m adding it to a list of songs that I want my kids to listen to when they spread my ashes one day. I also have Seasons in the Sun on the list. Does anyone have any suggestions for a few other songs that would be good to hear at a time like that? I’ve had other songs in mind before but now I can’t remember them. Thanks!
This song is my Panacea. I could put it on repeat till my ears bleed and I still wouldn’t stop listening... true masterpiece. Pure mastery. Love you Van 🤘🏻🙏🏼💋
Can't believe this is over 50 years old. Like fine wine, it's aged beautifully.
My little bird, my wonderful wife Lori, had a stroke July 27th 2012, seven years ago tonight. She passed away December 7, 2018.
I find solace in this song. It hurts too. Save me a seat sweetie
Mr barnes sir, i am so sorry for your loss,look to the sky ,your wife lori is a new star looking down at you and shining .
Take care sir ,i too lost someone special ,my mum .
Take care ,👍👍👍
Bradley Barnes God bless your Lori and God bless you 💚
@@grahambuckenham1597 Thank you Sir for your kind expression of sympathy Brother
My husband sailed into the mystic just a year ago at 45....My heart feels your pain.... Jules
My friend this is my first time hearing this song., first time reading the comments. Yours has just blown me away... This is how I now feel about the lady I've had with me for the last year.. If you felt this way about your lady .. You were a lucky man. I regret your huge loss. Peace and love my brother
One of the most prolific songs ever written. My husband passed away 6/16/19 and he rode Harleys since the '60s. A legend in our local biker community. Christmas is so hard he loved his family and many friends.
Sweet
Sorry for you loss Maureen just saw your note as I was putting together song list for my wonderful brother's funeral next week. It's been so bittersweet to listen to all his favorites... blessings
Most beautiful sing. Makes me happy and brings me to tears.
My wife told me today "Play this at my funeral". I said, "I'm not the Grateful Dead."
Amen.
U crack me up
That’s cold, maybe she feels the same way about you 🙄
I want this toooo..its soo ME. IM A LONG WAY FROM HOME
@@janetjordan2246home is where you hang your hat
I danced to this awesome song with my very awesome daughter at her wedding, at our father, daughter dance..
Sheer perfection! My soul just soars when I hear this song ~ each and every time!
Word
Yes I know what you mean, I've followed Van since the late 60's. He is a great, great song writer, the best
I agree totally
I want to rock your gypsy soul
The 1k negative votes... I'm trying to understand what alternate disaster universe you live in.
I'm with you, Ryan Laird.
I suspect all of the negative votes come from people who are deeply narrowed in one musical area or another, such as rap. Or religious fanatics who think that certain music is devilish or trolls who just do it on purpose. You have got to remember that once in a while an algorithm will show something for which the viewer is not interested, and they may give it thumbs down in the hope that nothing of that nature shows up again. I do that when rap comes up. I automatically give it thumbs down. Have you also noticed how well-known songs tend to get a lower up/down rate than obscure stuff? That's because obscure stuff tends to not come up randomly and only their fans listen to it. I've seen some songs of really unknowns who have 100-to-1 ratios or even better.
Ryan Laird so right about this one. The 1k 👎🏻 made me shake my head too, Ryan. As they say, somethings just cannot be explained 🤷🏻♂️ At least you & I will continue spreading dope vibes ❤️
Ryan Laird Yes, quite an odd ratio
Van's vocals don't appeal to everyone, but the song is undeniably beautiful. I actually prefer Colin James' cover of it, but this original one is fine, too.
Such a beautiful song that it makes me wonder why can't this world get it together I love you all my brothers and sisters.
me too. this is one of those songs/creations/moments where the beauty of humanity just shreds my heart
@@IridescentJen I hear you with lots of feel And may one day humanity can get it together.
Love you too brother 💙
love you too

Im 50 plus plus and this always takes me to a better place/time.
I can feel what you said🤗🤗🙏👍

Nothing beats the pure sound of vinyl. The depth, the sounds of all the instruments, subtle voice. Too bad CDs didn’t translate well.
I have never been a huge Van Morrison fan ( sorry) this songs makes up for everything! It reaches your toes!! 🙂
I'm with you 100%. That crisp crackle of vinyl gives me goose bumps. There's nothing like buying a new album, taking it out of the sleeve and the beautiful sound that you get on the first play.
Looks like a Rega Planar 6 turntable, two grand plus. Nice kit!
CD are better than LPs in other ways. They are "Compact" . Also if you scratch a CD its likely not totally buggered. And if it is you can still get it fixed.
Some CDs sound like garbage and others sound amazing. There are so many types of CDs like Super Audio (SACD) and bands are continuously putting out newly remastered albums as technology develops. I like vinyl too.
I just see CDs as a great invention too. Better for carrying around than LPs and less fragile. And unlike cassettes you dont have to rewind and fast forward.
What about digital music? Do you feel that’s equal to vinyl? Especially when I’m wearing earphones and listening to digital I think it sounds just incredible..
This song just makes me want to forget everything and dance.
Me too...your so lucky to be able to dance..I miss the old me before stupid MS..Happy HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY my SWEET BEAUTIFUL Momma love and miss you till we meet again
@@karianneckberg7645 I feel your frustration, I have it as well. It robs our bodies, it has started to attack my vision, I have never felt so defenseless until now, which then attacks my spirit. But thankfully my favorite songs still do get me through even some of the worst times. Best of luck to you and keep fighting.
I am listening to this music now to make me forget about everything and want to dance
Yes
and that is the gift of music, to move us in every way.
This has been my favorite song since I was 14 years old, 1987. It is the most pure and spiritual demonstration of my being. I could not describe myself any better
I am Gypsy... this song touched my spirit the first time I heard it. Thank you.
Y lady keep smillin
Up far too early this morning, I came to a decision: if I had only one song to hear for the rest of my life, this is it. I've been listening since it came out, and it moves me every time.
Feel that
Every time, a different way.
Totally agree!!
Is there a more beautiful thing to hear in the morning? The sun is out here in the beautiful Lake District in England and I'm playing this amazing track that sounds for ever fresh and new just gorgeous❤ ❤❤❤
They played this song at the funeral of a long time good friend of mine... makes me sad yet makes me smile when I think of him.
That is beautiful
Thanks for liking, watching and listening to my songs, Thanks for your love ♥️and moral support. I hope you have been well entertained over the years?
The worst thing about this song is that it doesn't have a lot more verses...... pure joy to listen to.
We were born before the wind
Also, younger than the sun
'Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark now, hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn blows
I wanna hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float
Into the mystic
When that fog horn blows
You know I will be coming home
Yeah, when that fog horn whistle blows
I gotta hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic
Come on, girl
Too late to stop now
We were "bourne" before the wind
So good
Into the mystic
75 yo... and just completely mesmerized by the beauty of the lyrics and music. Causes me to contemplate how much other beauty in life I have missed.
Hi Greetings Friend. Good day. Many thanks to you for the lyrics. This is my very time hearing it. And didn't understand what he was saying. It's soothing and sultry. The background music kills it! Around the end he really rocks out!!! 📀
Not many artists have the ability to create music that transcends. I'm a musician and love this kind of music. Other great artists that have this kind of emotional impact for me are Dan Fogleberg "Longer", King Harvest "Dancing In The Moonlight", James Taylor "Fire and Rain", The Beatles "Here Comes The Sun", Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine", Otis Redding "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay", Cat Steven's "Wild World", Bob Dylan "Dont Think Twice It's Alright", Jack Johnson "Better Together", Coldplay "Fix You", Chris Cornell "Dead Wishes", Music like this evokes so many emotions at the same time. That is the kind of music that is the most powerful.
I've always loved this song. A good friend/neighbor passed recently and this song was part of Andre's Celebration of Life. He was a fisherman out of Alaska when he was younger, and a free spirit. When I saw this song on Facebook, When Andre died, his wife, Abby, posted a notice on Facebook telling his friends that he'd passed. Along with that notice was this song, with the lyrics. It was perfect for Andre, and reminds me of him so much. It touches me when I hear it. I noticed a lot of men want this song played at their funeral, and I'm not surprised. Best song Van Morrison ever did, and it's unforgettable. Like Abby and Andre. I will forever think of our friends when I hear it playing. The sad thing is this song is timeless, but I bet that a couple of generations don't even know it, and it's one of the best songs that was ever written.
They will be playing this beautiful song as my casket is lowered into the ground at my funeral.
I came here to grab a link for that very reason. Also, my best friend died of cancer at 34 yrs old, and this song, we used to put this song on and turn it up and just sing and sing, so it will forever be special to me.
I will also have this played at my funeral. Have forever loved this song and Van.
Dont go Robert, stick around and you can listen to much more of my Celtic 1st cousin stunningly brilliant music
Me too!
@@sharonw4325 SAME 4 ME
This will be played at my funeral as the curtains close - 'It's too late to stop now'
Me too
Trevor....this is one I picked for my funeral too. I'm picking songs for my kids to listen to so that they know I wasn't afraid to go into the mystic.
I want mi hija to take my body to Sagg Main (beach) & do a Rocket Gibraltar with me...we used to go to that beach all the time.
Mine too. I met my sailor 40 years ago and we still love each other fiercely. I see him standing on the deck of a sailboat, the waves and the wind and the mist. The song is still intoxicating after hearing t many hundreds of times. We will sail into the mystic someday with this celebration song in our ears.
Superb song with an other-worldly meaning. This will be my last song too…
❤ Van Morrison
Many years ago I pulled over on the side of the road, with this song blaring from cassette. I was on my way to meet this young man for the very first time. I got out of my car, and standing in a gravel parking lot with only the dimness of a street light, I listened and sang the words. He later became my husband and the love of my life. I hear this song every now and then and still to this day tear up the same way I did that first night.
Sweet
@@georgeivanmorrison6769 There is absolutely nothing that can compare to your soullifting music Van. Thank You.
Your heart and soul knew you were about to meet your mate.❤️
Thats truly beautiful Becky, lucky man..
Thank you for this truly amazing story.
OMG, I got chills listening to this masterpiece, thanks for sharing this magical music 🎶
If ever you need time to sit back and have a period of reflection or just a bit of thinking time...this song is perfect.
Yes!
To all of you who have extended compassion to me in your posts about my failed marriage know that your messages are a comfort.
I am amazed at how much music can touch the soul and this song takes me back to 1976 when I first met the love of my life in California.
Neither of us had any plan for life, but the passion that our hearts felt for each other guided us in a whirlwind ride that led us to marriage within 6 months.
I was a young guy of 22 from Michigan and she was only 18 having just moved to CA from Delaware...
I fell in love w/her the first time I laid eyes on her and our romance was incredible...I actually proposed to her on the Golden Gate Bridge...
This song and several others bring me to walking the beach in Santa Cruz/CA sharing a Togo's sub and a Coors beer and listening to Steely Dan in the car as we drove back to San Jose.
While I have fond memories of the coast of CA, many of our memories of trips in MI were to locations around Lake Michigan, Superior & Lake Huron.
The last few years of our marriage our special place was Sleeping Bear Dunes on Lake Michigan.
The last time we visited there, we walked the dunes and sat & shared a sub overlooking the lake.
I will never forget this and when I finally pass I want my ashes to be strewn across those dunes.
I'm pretty sure I'll be thinking of "Into the Mystic" when I pass along w/another song that represents my broken heart - "Tryin' to Get Over You" by Vince Gill.
Thank you all for your kindness - God let me rest...
Time for a new move, Randy. I'll buy you a beer should you ever visit Spain!
I'll buy you one too! Kryss von Walz - Facebook
Thank you for your story. It touched my soul as I am the same age as your wife. I lived in San Jose and spent a lot of time at the beach in Santa Cruz. That’s where I met my husband. We loved going to that little Mexican food stand right on that traffic island, I think it was La Palma. We didn’t have the same kind of relationship as you two but the memories are good. I also remember the very first Togo’s that opened in Campbell in an old house. I miss those days.
Was at his show in Oakland, CA a few years ago and he dedicated this song to me! The only words he spoke during the whole show. Totally blown away. I used to play this song on the bridge of the ship I was Captain on when we would depart from our last US port and headed out to the other side of the earth,.. Such an honor for me. Only wish I had been recording it when he said it.
Hans Amador that is an awesome story. Thank you for sharing.
What an honor and a thrill....you don't need to have it on a recording. You have it in your heart. You're a lucky man.
Why did he dedicate the song to you?
Bought the album when it first came out. I'm now 75 and it still grabs me! Sadly a very much underrated track. Perfect hymn for my funeral .
This song has always made me raise my hands in the air as if worshipping 🙌 It digs into my soul and spirit ❤️🙌🥰
Listening to this song w/my eyes closed takes me back to a happier time in my life when my young bride didn't have two nickles to rub together but we were in love and didn't care.
Unfortunately life gets in the way and in 2016, just shy of our 40th anniversary, she decided she didn't love me anymore and divorced me.
It's been almost 5 years now and not a day goes by that I don't wish she was still by my side.
If I close my eyes while listening to this song I can see her beautiful smile and dream we're still together.
No matter where life takes me, I'll love you forever Mary Wilson.
Randy Wilson
Congratulations on 40 years
This whole album will help you melt into the mystic, listen to the whole album, the final song is awesome.
I love this song
Randy, you still have a beautiful life ahead of you. It's what you make of it.
So sorry
That's just how life is sometimes...
Through good and bad
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows
I will be coming home, mmm mmm
And when the fog horn blows
I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float
Into the mystic
When that fog horn blows
You know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows
I gotta hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I wanna rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float
Into the mystic
Come on girl
Will they stop now
For some reason, I always thought of two lines differently than what you've presented here.
"We were borne before the wind"
and
"E're the bonnie boat was one"
I love that you posted the lyrics, though. Thank you!
It's "Hairy the boner boat was won"
ohso not also
@@jbx1967 I prefer your homonyms of "Into the Mystic."
If they know whats good for them they will cause when u have experienced unconditional true love not some silly infatuation or just cause your feeling the heat And have overactive glands it dont happen overnight and most will live a lifetime and never experienced once yhats all I voy
I am so much into THE greatest blues-soul artist known as Van Morrison that I intend to have his music played for 2-3 hours over speakers at my funeral service for all to enjoy!!!
I sat at a friends house this past spring, beautiful day next to her pool watching squirrels breeze blowing awesome blue sky when this song came on and I hadn’t heard it in a long time, it just hit me different that day. It was beautiful and peaceful and it made me smile. That 5 minutes will be something I will always remember. The way I felt will always stay with me. ❤
This song feels like a warm hug.
My god nothing again will ever come close to the genius of this masterpiece !
Except his other stuff.
You are so right!
Really!
Yeah. Ok.
I couldn’t agree more! I freaking LOVE THIS SONG and VAN MORRISON SO MUCH!!
The voice, the words, the poetry, the story told, the feeling, the magic mystic, the man, It all adds up to Van Morrison.
so true he feels his music and so do others love it
@@ceciliaharris4363 Thanks, We are the very lucky people to have Van still making and playing his music
