    Van Morrison grew up dead-broke poor in Belfast, N Ireland when it was full of poverty & violence. Natural musician. When he was 16 or so he went to the biggest band in Belfast and said “I’m your new guitar player.” The bandleader said “We don’t need a guitar player. We need a saxophone player.” Three weeks later he came back, said “I’m your new saxophone player.”, and got the job.

      My son was shot 3 times in the chest ,was told he probably wouldn't live.he did. 7 weeks in hospital, 4 weeks in a coma.when we left the hospital we just sat in the car and looked at each other and I asked what would you like to do first and he said I'd like for you to play van Morrison. I knew at that moment that he gets life.

    Van Morrison: Ireland's gift to the world. He's probably the greatest poet-singer to ever come from my ancestral home. His music always reminds me of Autumn, my favorite season. His music is visceral and so multilayered. Rich, like the Autumn air.
    Today being September 1st, I broke out my Autumnal Playlist. The first song is "Into the Mystic."
    @Jamel, you should react to some Cat Stevens songs. "Wild World," would be a good one to start with, then maybe "Morning Has Broken," or "Peace Train." He's got quite the catalog, too.

      For me, it's about my Dad and his feelings for me. As an adult, I realise the song is about America and how "Sweet " Freedom is. Tupelo Honey is only found in America. The beginning of America's history began with a dumping of tea. "You can't stop us on the road to freedom" The men in granite, Mt Rushmore. Van is an Irishman, there is a lot of history and there was unrest in Ireland. This song is a romantic one to America, from afar.

    In many, many years of going to concerts, I have had two experiences where I simply had to say out loud "THAT'S THE VOICE". The first was when I first saw Paul McCartney. The other was Van the Man. It is simply amazing. Not to take away from any of the other bands and artists, but those two were just overwhelming.

    Everytime I hear Van Morrison it gives me a sense of comfort and nostalgia, as a 17 year old I ve been through some hard times and his music has helped me through. Also it gives me memories of San Diego vacations I ve had where part of my family is from, his music always had a California essence to me..
