I listen this song for the first time in february 2024, since that I listen it every day, It's something stronger than nature, speak about love, liberty, what every lover, every human is searching for. A new fan of Van Morrison
Danced with my daughter to this while watching Thirtysomething...she passed away at 30 from cancer two years ago. I miss her everyday but I hear this song and we are dancing in the living room when she is a little girl. I miss you honey.
You will see her again...God has a special place in Heaven for parents who have lost a child.May God bless you. You are in my prayers and your Angel is too.
@@rochelleahearn7793 It is an ache that never goes away but I know I will see her again. If I didnt have that I dont think I could go on. I am so sorry for your lose. When you lose them as children...and friends...their are no words. Except I'm sorry and as much as possible I understand. Love, Kristin
@@rochelleahearn7793 Rochelle, my heart brakes for you."A day with man is like a thousand days with the Lord." You will see him again. God bless you and your 👼.
@@TheBlonddoctor thank you for your kind words. I am blessed with being able to feel my son's presence and that's what keeps me going. Happy belated mother's day.
Married the love of my life in Biloxi, Mississippi to this song in 1984. We danced to this song at Papa's on the beach until the sun came up. My southern girl is still by my side and still the love of my life.
Listened when newly released in 1971 as a kid, Armed Forces Radio, Far East Network, Grant Heights/South Camp Drake, Japan. Still a fave near 50 years later
As one vet to another , he did get us through some hard times, I remember lighting up a joint and listening to van. Put the service out of my mind for a short time
I was a young girl of 14 yrs old when I first heard this song and fell in love with it. I am now a 64 yr old woman and I love it still as I listen to it at this moment......such good music
My mom introduced me to this amazing man back when I was a little girl. This is one of my absolute favorite songs, and the sad part is most women my age don't even know who Van Morrison is. I thank God that my parents loved great music, they raised me right! ❤️
Thankyou Nick for introducing me to Van the man. You left us so tragically dec 1990 in South 🇿🇦 Africa. Never foget you Nick. Never a day goes by that we dont miss you. Vav is at the top of my list along with Dylan and a few more that i love so much. Thank the Lord for you guys x
You, my girl, are truly blessed. Sit back, close your eyes, and let the beauty of the song wash over you like warm blanket of pure bliss! You can take all the tea in China, and never hear a more beautiful song!!
Just like honey from the honey bee & even after 50 years, this piece of beauty remains so, to me. Thanks Van for weaving your beautiful musical tapestries for us all ❤😊🎉
This song reminds me no matter how hard life can get, I will never let it make me bitter. I will love with no restraints or boundaries, even though my heart has been broken more times than I can count. 💙💙💙Bless you all
The Muses blest those times, maybe because there was so much suffering and sacrifice our fathers went through, maybe because Love for Life was cherished as never before. I'll be 70 and forever thankful for all the pains and pleasures God granted.
Do not be ashamed ur blessed that you can appreciate great music. There’s ppl out in the world that either never will discover him or they have and they don’t like him because he doesn’t rap about popping Xanax and smacking your bitch cuz she ain’t got yo money It’s amazing what people think is cool. This song is my wonderful girlfriends and my song, well we have a few lol check these out if you haven’t heard them yet Gerry Rafferty - “Right Down the Line”. Tyler Childers - “Feathered Indians” And Cody Jinks - “No Words”
I am still listening 🎶 in 2023, my oldest sister got me into Van Morrison when I was 14 or 15. Thank you for that Kristine! I believe the first song I ever heard from him was "Domino" . All of his tracks are so very poignant to me! I simply adore this Belfast gem!
So sorry for your loss, and so thankful for your comment. My husband died almost 2 years ago and the last song we heard together that he was able to respond to was this one. It brings him back, every time!
Played this at my daddy's funeral with my mummy then played it at my mummy's funeral 7 years later. I was 21 by this time. God bless you mum and dad rip I love you forever xxxxxxx
I am drunk and it's very late but i gotta tell you this.... THIS COMMENT AND THIS SONG MADE ME CRY LIKE I FEEL YOUR PAIN. 😭I CAN'T EVEN TYPE I AM CRYING SO MUCH.....WHY THE FUCK.
Sadly, I think not. I have 27 grandkids, and all of them as they gain understanding migrate to my turntable and shelves of lps. Most will agree with Leslie. No generation has sought to understand itself or explain itself in music like the “boomer” generation. Van is atop the heap, beside the Moody Blues and, of course, Bob.
I mostly avoided the TV show "Friends." But the finest moment I did see was when some asked what was the best love song. Ross responded with Tupelo Honey, by Van Morrison. Spot on, Ross. Spot on.
+Edward Kriner You could not have chosen a better song. So sorry for your loss. I am sure she was as wonderful as this song and much much more. Live well .
I was born in 68. The music between 1967 to 73, wow, timeless, genius. Dylan Stones Beatles Hendrix Bowie Van, Velvet Underground, and much much more....
I’m so grateful I got into all those bands and loved and totally love the soul of the bands you mentioned and more from the 60’s and 70’s. Especially love The Van. But I wasn’t born until 1977. I just had some sense about me and wanted nothing to do with the music of my generation. The soulless, meaningless, disregard of purpose music popular amongst my peers.
I am so glad I grew up with the music from the last 50 years as there will never be another era as we all have experienced as this generation. What a great time when music had a purpose and meaning. It touched all of our souls in one way or another. Music is the key to life as far as I am concerned. I can't tell how much I appreciate the soul these great musicians poured out to all of us to hear and enjoy. Awesome song writers and performers of this era will last forever! Amen to all of them!
You are so right. We tried raising our kids to some of the best music and a lot of it has stuck with them. But they also have today's influence which I hate.
🤔🤔What a sorrow and deep pain in heart and mind !loosing a child of whatever disease ! This so be music and song can give you comfort but also this painfull remembers missing your child! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️so painfull every day ! Beautiful music! Me I am 71 years old and I know what pain is! Hope you find peace in missing your child ! No suffering anymore from her suffering ! You always will miss this beautiful child ! Please try to wake up with a smile and peace ! And this song is so beautiful. ,! It’s a blessing that in older days this music was singing ! Whish luck and happiness and peaceful feeling in your heart ! ⭐️🎶🎶🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️
its amazing to think how timeless his music is....I am 64... this album carried me through my college years...saw him live many times...turned my girlfriend then my wife on to him...1st daughter...1st son....2nd wife ...2nd daughter and many friends....who still comment to this day..."man listening to Van Morrison. ...thanks"
@George Ivan Morrison If this is indeed a reply from the estimable Van Morrison then I am indeed honoured (I know it's easy to fake profiles on CZcams). I really hope this is from the man himself, in which case I can say that your music has been a constant in my life since St Dominic's Preview (for which I had a poster, loaned to a uni roommate and sadly never returned). May God bless and keep you. Long may you continue to produce wonderful music ( why was 'Pay the Devil' so underrated???).
"She is an angel of first degree " - just like my angel in my life. Thank you Van for this beatyfull song- makes my memories comes easy to me - to my beloved wife - I miss her so much .My angel of first degree who past away too young ,36 year. Sweat as tupolo honey !!
The beloved music of my younger years , I cannot go back but I brought the music with me . Thank you Van Morrison for that wonderful voice and your enchanting musicians. .
When I was younger I wished someone would think of me this way. Now I'm not so young, and when I listen to this song I think of my wee granddaughter. :-) A classic song for all time.
Just lost my beautiful Mother on August 31,2016. This song will forever remind me of her. She was indeed sweet as tupelo honey. Miss you my best friend, my hero, my mother.
Salute. My Mom had to leave in May of 2010. This beautiful song doesn't necessarily make me think of Jule but your comment inspired me to commiserate. Been missing Mom lately. R.I.P.
Fiquei muito emocionado. Realmente é uma música que nos trás muitas lembranças. O mundo se une através do mundo. Forças. Um beijo vindo do Brasil para você, querida.
I was born in 62. I have the privilege of growing up with my grand parents music, my parents music, and the songs of every generation since then. I feel blessed! Thanks for being a part of my family history Van.
PLEASE. PLEASE.PLEASE,LORD, SEND US ANOTHER VAN THE MAN. TAKE AWAY THESE SILLY 'ARTISTS' OF TODAY AND SEND US A REAL ANGEL. THE WORLD NEEDS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC LIKE THIS....
The man-I-should-have-married used to sweep me in his arms and waltz around the room with me when this song played. He's dead now. I still feel him in this song.
Sounds like you should of fuckin married him. You hear that everyone. Don't live life safely or youll spend your old age posting sad comments on CZcams videos you fucks. Get out there and L(O)IVE
If I could reach out my hand through the ether. I would. Just to dance you across the room while this song was playing. I know I'm not the man you nearly married. But with the lights turned down low. And two hearts beating so close together... Oh well. Maybe I should stop my dreaming now. And send you kisses of hope. xxx
This is a glimpse of music at it's absolute best and he has put his entire soul in to it. There will always be a debate about this, but the music of this era will be, at best, difficult to match. There was so much passion, heart and love for the music that was being created back then. And that passion, heart and love came from those who created it and those who had the great fortune to be around to hear it and we were even more fortunate to have this as the foundation of our musical experiences during our formative and youthful years of life. True beauty.
***** I am a child of the 60's as well. It was during our generation that music went through it's biggest change. If you think about it, Rock/pop was really in it's infancy during our generation (I'm not referring to the true origins of Rock). It was the bands of our era that created Rock "as we know it today." Like you said, today's music is a variation of what they created. They were the pioneers. They didn't have a mold or blue print to follow. They made the mold which to some degree is what is being used in todays music. The bands of today certainly have an advantage over the bands from back in the day. I don't think any other period of time will see such a massive change in music. Nor will they see the number of incredible song writers or the quality of music that came out of that era. It was music in it's original form, which had the human touch all over it. Music today seems to have lost that human touch. It's taken on a high tech touch. I'm not saying there isn't some great music out there today, but it's kind of hard to completely appreciate music that you know has been so altered. This of course is my musically uneducated opinion. So please, if anyone disagrees, which I think we can count on, by all means send your difference of opinion. But if you feel the need to include insults, please keep it to yourself, as personally, I'm so over all the nasty, hateful BS remarks we see on comment pages. If someone doesn't insult you, they deserve the same respect and that is my strong opinion on that subject. Thank you and have a great day:)
I have always been a Morrison fan (of a younger group, being 46 now) but I have always liked his earlier stuff and for the moment being back home recovering from a major surgery, my dad overheard VAN coming from my room (yes MUSIC is absolutely my therapy). Dad has difficulty hearing now from years of working with damaging equipment ..however he has taken so much pleasure in finding a common ground for us that I think even if he can't hear it as clearly as either he would like or I would like for him to...I still think he would enjoy seeing the concert at the Shrine in January together...he brought in the turntable from the garage and all of his VAN MORRISON...he since brought in other vinyl for me but the Van came first .... He was especially pleased when he was the one to educate me that the song "GLORIA" was written by VM
Van may be a grumpy old man, but boy can he sing . Brings me great to joy to hear him sing . He lifts me up in ways that no one else does . Have others I love as much but he is special in different ways . On par with Dylan , The Boss , Jackson Browne and Neil Young . These are the greats in my life time .
I first saw and heard this man's music December, 1970 at Massey Hall ( Toronto ) when I was eighteen. When He performed the songs from the Astral Weeks album - I just knew this man's music - like any truly great art - was going to be timeless. Forty six years later - I have the exact same opinion as I had then. Whenever I hear his music being listened to by successive generations - it puts a smile on my face knowing that his musical genius will live on. Thank you for all the wonderful memories - Mr. Van Morrison.
brown eyed girl reminded me of the Brown eyed Susans growing wild in the fields where I was born....Even my parents over 100 years now loved Van...for Moondance ...we were in Nova Scotia /New brunswick and the moon was just rising over the Atlantic Ocean....Just a girl then but my WW2 parents loved him....good memories...Van will always even 100 years from now...an enduring Poet/Musician. best wishes. catd
This is a patriotic song about America."Men with insight; men in granite." Those are the founding fathers and presidents on Mount Rushmore. This classic is a love song to the USA.
. . . and when you're done listening to that put on Madame George, Independence Day, Summertime in England, T.B. Sheets, Ballerina . . . . and on and on
got into Van after a divorce and being single dad of two little angels. We listened to Van on Sunday mornings at home and many long drives. The kids are grown and doing well now - and have the happiest memories of Van’s soothing voice.
1970-1973 were banner years, full of love and hope for the planet and each other. IMHO. When he passes there will be an outpouring of sadness. It will be a time for serious reflection on who we have become.
This song is like butter. So easy to hear and just lovely. Went to Mcdonalds to get a latte today to stay awake and before i could ask a man who looked homeless if i could but him something he bought me something. Listened and sang with him for 6 hours and this song came up. Was reminded that i do like music and something good i will take from it is that i can sing and i should not be so hard and critical on myself. Just wanted to share that: Thank you.
IN 69, Morrison moved to the bay area. Not known to me, Bert Berns had virtually shut him down and made it impossible for him to make a living on the east coast. To his credit, Bill Graham gave him, (as I remember), one night a week to play the old Fillmore. I was there every night for year or so. Watched the man grow in front of my eyes and ears, devleloping Moondance and His Band and Sreet Choir. Working those chops on the horn. I saw everybody, Who, Hendrix, Traffic, Zeppelin.... Nothing came close to this man's genius.
I remember when Van lived in SF and was doing frequent shows in the area. I learned all of this from KSAN announcements, but alas I was too young and too far away from the BA to be able to see him.
Wow.. you were very lucky to have seen Van and everyone else that you did. My older brother also saw great 60's & 70's bands at smaller venues. He saw Cream at a high school near our home town in 68' for $2.50. *I finally did see Van this past Summer. And he played 'THEM' songs. I posted the concert.
Wow, great comment, i'm sure authentic, and thanks for the frame of reference - it's important really to hold everyone up against their counterparts. BTW - never mind the begrudgers on this thread. some people love to bitch.
I'm 66, I've been listening to him for 45 years. Tupelo honey and Brown eye girl are the 2 songs that started my love for his music. I am married to a Brown eyed girl who is my Tupelo Honey, and has been for 47 years. Van is the BEST!!!
van morrison ... the greatest singer song writer composer that has ever lived on this planet. his music carrys me through the past holds me in the present and calls me to the future. i fell in love with my wife to this song. may she rest in peace
One of the most spontaneous and romantic moments I’ve ever had with my wife dancing to this song in a living room in Dublin. I’ll never forget it. Everyone needs to feel like that once in their life. ❤️
I am 60 and I was blessed to grow up while the best ever played music was in the air, what a shot of luck, thank you God to have let me be a witness of that magic.....
So soulful and sweet. Actually taking some time to appreciate the music from my mother's era (I'm 36). I miss her and this reminds me of her playing her records when I was little. RIP, momma.
I just listened to one of the greatest r&b classics,sung by one of the greatsr r&b,soul vocalists there ever was and will be.And yeah,she's more n' alright by me .God bless Van the man,morrison,nobody could belt out soul classics like he could.
I listen this song for the first time in february 2024, since that I listen it every day, It's something stronger than nature, speak about love, liberty, what every lover, every human is searching for. A new fan of Van Morrison
Welcome to the club! Glad you enjoy this music.
WELCOM BIJ V THE MAN!!!😎😎😎😎
From an old fan to you... Van is the man!
Just a young teenager when I first heard this song. I'm an old retired man now, still love this song! Peace and love to you all.
Thank you, peace and love to you as well ❤
👍👍👍
My Wife and I started dancing to this when we were dating. Still dance to it after 46 years of being together. Our song. Thank you Van Morrison.

Beautiful talent in any form, soothes the soul. I medicate often.
Ditto ❤
I'm a Vietnam Vet and this song gets me through my hardest times. always has, always will. God bless Van the Man
Listened when newly released in 1971 as a kid, Armed Forces Radio, Far East Network, Grant Heights/South Camp Drake, Japan. Still a fave near 50 years later
sorry-you got stuck with melania if...
Thank you for service, I take my hat off to you.
As one vet to another , he did get us through some hard times, I remember lighting up a joint and listening to van. Put the service

Welcome home, and bright blessings.
Hitched hiked in a snow storm to buy the Tupelo Honey album in 1971. Still have it. Still my favorite song by Van .
Wow! I bet it was worth it!
That's dedication.
Some things one just got to have ...... no matter what.

Its a perfect song sang perfectly!
Acting that out ,

Today I'm 18 years old. My grandpa gave me this song and saig give it a listen. This song is amazing. It sooths the soul.
He's the man, a song for eternity❤
My mom introduced me to this amazing man back when I was a little girl. This is one of my absolute favorite songs, and the sad part is most women my age don't even know who Van Morrison is. I thank God that my parents loved great music, they raised me right! ❤️

Ver well said in your comment about my getting bitter. Life is too precious and short for that.
You warmed my heart.
Beautiful comment. Keep loving
How very true ❤️
I'll be 70 soon. I'e lived through and loved some of the greatest music in history. Van is up there with the best of them.

Colin Berresford I’m a day away from the 50th anniversary of my 21st birthday, and I agree. I can’t think of anyone better.
I’m almost 71 and I keep an open mind about contemporary music, but Van Morrison is still on top.
I agree with everything you said. And I am 73 years old
No doubt
I don't care what your music taste are, I can't imagine anyone not liking Van Morrison and his songs. They transcend generations. Timeless!
"Van Morrison's voice a fierce beacon in the darkness, the lighthouse at the end of the world. " - Paul Williams
Ashamed to say im 37 and just discovered Van Morrison
Better late than never
Devine to to my ears
Im hooked
Why ashamed? With so much music out there, you are a seeker--and you found Van the man! Cheers for you!!
Do not be ashamed ur blessed that you can appreciate great music. There’s ppl out in the world that either never will discover him or they have and they don’t like him because he doesn’t rap about popping Xanax and smacking your bitch cuz she ain’t got yo money It’s amazing what people think is cool.
This song is my wonderful girlfriends and my song, well we have a few lol check these out if you haven’t heard them yet Gerry Rafferty - “Right Down the Line”. Tyler Childers - “Feathered Indians” And Cody Jinks - “No Words”

Oops accidentally hit the down icon !
Thank u for your service
You gotta feel sorry for the people who disliked this. Going through life with no soul must be tough.
Well said Marcus
Amen Marcus
I agree...I m 26 and am sorry I didn't get to grow up listening to these songs in the original era
Agreed, Marcus
For many, sadly, a 'down' click is merely an acknowledgment of their own inadequacy in the presence of greatness.
I was around when this music was being played. It's just timeless and I keep going back to it because nothing today can match it.
Leslie Davis so right, but somehow I think every generation says the same thing.
Sadly, I think not. I have 27 grandkids, and all of them as they gain understanding migrate to my turntable and shelves of lps. Most will agree with Leslie. No generation has sought to understand itself or explain itself in music like the “boomer” generation. Van is atop the heap, beside the Moody Blues and, of course, Bob.

I mostly avoided the TV show "Friends." But the finest moment I did see was when some asked what was the best love song. Ross responded with Tupelo Honey, by Van Morrison.
Spot on, Ross. Spot on.
The writer had to be in his 50's or 60's 😄
Nicked the line from an episode of Magnum PI.
How about that !
At least the writer was.
I just turned my TV on and that episode of Friends is on right now, that’s what brought me here.
I never watch Friends, not even the re-runs.
One of the most beautiful songs on Earth.
Timeless masterpieces are the works of Van Morrison. Music that will be enjoyed for eternity. Much love and respect to Van The Man. Thank you!
When my wife passed after 20 yr's I played this song at her funeral! Thank You Van Morrison for the song! Love it!
+Edward Kriner Beautiful tribute, which I'm sure she deserved.

Another one of those Van Morrison songs that have been embedded onto the hard drive of my soul.
The year 2019. A hot summer night on the deck smoking a cigar, listening to Van. It doesn't get much better.
A man who knows how to chill...and how to make your own moments in life. Cool cat.
no, it does not
@Cyrus Slapatich haha. Hey friend to the north. Goes to show the truth about making joy where you find your feet. Greetings from New Mexico US
Dope. That's exactly what I'm doing right now.
Do ing what ever
There’s no one like Van Morrison, he is so totally unique. Have loved his music since the late 60’s- and it is still just as good as it always was!
I Concur
Nancy Vincent me too!
Van Morrison's jazz infused rock. No one else did this until Steely Dan. No one has done it since.
yes beautiful sunshine,🌹 this song is so touching, I can feel it, I’m James how are you doing..?
Can't imagine a world without the music of Van Morrison. His musical versatility is unique. Love him.
I was born in 68. The music between 1967 to 73, wow, timeless, genius. Dylan Stones Beatles Hendrix Bowie Van, Velvet Underground, and much much more....
The best period for music
I was born in 49.i love all types of music but dis song is beautiful.
I’m so grateful I got into all those bands and loved and totally love the soul of the bands you mentioned and more from the 60’s and 70’s. Especially love The Van. But I wasn’t born until 1977. I just had some sense about me and wanted nothing to do with the music of my generation. The soulless, meaningless, disregard of purpose music popular amongst my peers.
We were so very, very fortunate to listen to the best music of our lives...full of meaning.
Creedence !
I am so glad I grew up with the music from the last 50 years as there will never be another era as we all have experienced as this generation. What a great time when music had a purpose and meaning.

You are so right. We tried raising our kids to some of the best music and a lot of it has stuck with them. But they also have today's influence which I hate.

Poetic champion! :-)
yes beautiful sunshine,🌹 this song is so touching, I can feel it, I’m James how are you doing..?
Love this
its amazing to think how timeless his music is....I am 64... this album carried me through my college years...saw him live many times...turned my girlfriend then my wife on to him...1st daughter...1st son....2nd wife ...2nd daughter and many friends....who still comment to this day..."man listening to Van Morrison. ...thanks"
The "men with insight, men in granite" line is perfection.
Alliteration as only great poets can do.
Not describing the men of today that's for sure.
Pure magic. God, this man can write a song that would bring a tear to they eye of a statue! Wonderful stuff.
@George Ivan Morrison If this is indeed a reply from the estimable Van Morrison then I am indeed honoured (I know it's easy to fake profiles on CZcams). I really hope this is from the man himself, in which case I can say that your music has been a constant in my life since St Dominic's Preview (for which I had a poster, loaned to a uni roommate and sadly never returned). May God bless and keep you. Long may you continue to produce wonderful music ( why was 'Pay the Devil' so underrated???).
"She is an angel of first degree " - just like my angel in my life. Thank you Van for this beatyfull song- makes my memories comes easy to me - to my beloved wife - I miss her so much .My angel of first degree who past away too young ,36 year. Sweat as tupolo honey !!
Olav Bjørnnes That comment brought me a tear.
Bless your heart and your love.
The beloved music of my younger years , I cannot go back but I brought the music with me . Thank you Van Morrison for that wonderful voice and your enchanting musicians. .
I will be 65 in August and this still moves me, it brings back memories of better days. Thank you Van Morrison for your fine work.
Simply beautiful. I tear up because of the love expressed. Thank you Van Morrison ❤️
When I was younger I wished someone would think of me this way. Now I'm not so young, and when I listen to this song I think of my wee granddaughter. :-) A classic song for all time.
THIS IS MY SONG...PLEASE PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL...CAUSE IT DRIFTS ME TO HEAVEN....AMEN💙💜💙💜💙💜
Van Morrison is a creative genius. I feel his music deep in my soul. Don't ask me to explain.
Susan Murdock Murdock its okay... i understand exactly
pls explain
No explanation needed
Suzy Q, you don't need to explain, we feel it too !
Suzy Q I get chills
in tears reading these comments and listening to this song, it's incredible what music can do to one's soul.
Van has half the psychologists on the planet puzzled. How can such a truculent grouch make such sublime celestial music.
lolol!
Funny, great sense of humor..😊😃
Just lost my beautiful Mother on August 31,2016. This song will forever remind me of her. She was indeed sweet as tupelo honey. Miss you my best friend, my hero, my mother.
She died on Van's birthday.
Melissa you just made me cry, may your mom RIP.
Salute. My Mom had to leave in May of 2010. This beautiful song doesn't necessarily make me think of Jule but your comment inspired me to commiserate. Been missing Mom lately. R.I.P.
i know the feeling, my bampa loved Van. its one of a few memories we got of him RestInPeace x
Fiquei muito emocionado. Realmente é uma música que nos trás muitas lembranças. O mundo se une através do mundo. Forças. Um beijo vindo do Brasil para você, querida.
Hmmmmm, just sit back and look around you. Sunsets, thunderstorms, snow falling, campfires....it all goes with this......
Appreciate that
AMEN. God lets us see ALL BEAUTY thru this Gift of a Song.. Im tearing up AGAIN to this
You should be writing songs. Those couple of lines are lyrical.
you have heart!!!
I couldn’t have said it any better” except missing road trips....
I was born in 62. I have the privilege of growing up with my grand parents music, my parents music, and the songs of every generation since then. I feel blessed!
Thanks for being a part of my family history Van.
Hello How are you doing today?
every time I hear this song by this man my soul grows 10% bigger. Wow
BJK
Well put my friend I'm thumbs up on all the great heartfelt comments ,peace
you can't stop us along the road to freedom.
you can't stop us because our eyes can see. such a poet! at 64 his words still give me.hope!
PLEASE. PLEASE.PLEASE,LORD, SEND US ANOTHER VAN THE MAN. TAKE AWAY THESE SILLY 'ARTISTS' OF TODAY AND SEND US A REAL ANGEL. THE WORLD NEEDS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC LIKE THIS....
I gotta tell ya, my generation had the best of the best. Wow.
@Kay Cee yes. The. Best
yes.
AMEN !
Just bought tickets to go and see this man in October. I am so excited as I have always loved him and his creative song writing ability.
Wow!! That will be awesome!!!!@@rebeccarandleman2124
The man-I-should-have-married used to sweep me in his arms and waltz around the room with me when this song played. He's dead now. I still feel him in this song.
What a beautiful memory
That’s beautiful. Wish that romance still lived today. What a great memory for sure
Sounds like you should of fuckin married him. You hear that everyone. Don't live life safely or youll spend your old age posting sad comments on CZcams videos you fucks. Get out there and L(O)IVE
@@busterdog321 Amen to that!!
If I could reach out my hand through the ether. I would. Just to dance you across the room while this song was playing. I know I'm not the man you nearly married. But with the lights turned down low. And two hearts beating so close together... Oh well.
Maybe I should stop my dreaming now. And send you kisses of hope. xxx
This is a glimpse of music at it's absolute best and he has put his entire soul in to it. There will always be a debate about this, but the music of this era will be, at best, difficult to match. There was so much passion, heart and love for the music that was being created back then. And that passion, heart and love came from those who created it and those who had the great fortune to be around to hear it and we were even more fortunate to have this as the foundation of our musical experiences during our formative and youthful years of life. True beauty.
***** I am a child of the 60's as well. It was during our generation that music went through it's biggest change. If you think about it, Rock/pop was really in it's infancy during our generation (I'm not referring to the true origins of Rock). It was the bands of our era that created Rock "as we know it today." Like you said, today's music is a variation of what they created. They were the pioneers. They didn't have a mold or blue print to follow. They made the mold which to some degree is what is being used in todays music. The bands of today certainly have an advantage over the bands from back in the day. I don't think any other period of time will see such a massive change in music. Nor will they see the number of incredible song writers or the quality of music that came out of that era. It was music in it's original form, which had the human touch all over it. Music today seems to have lost that human touch. It's taken on a high tech touch. I'm not saying there isn't some great music out there today, but it's kind of hard to completely appreciate music that you know has been so altered. This of course is my musically uneducated opinion. So please, if anyone disagrees, which I think we can count on, by all means send your difference of opinion. But if you feel the need to include insults, please keep it to yourself, as personally, I'm so over all the nasty, hateful BS remarks we see on comment pages. If someone doesn't insult you, they deserve the same respect and that is my strong opinion on that subject. Thank you and have a great day:)
Thanks miss distarr... so thats how it sounds when my thoughts are changed into words...
Mitvinder Singh That is one of the most beautiful comments I've ever received and I thank you so much for taking the time to say so.
That was a beautiful post I think you got to my heart there is no debate the best
well said and i totally agree i do not care for music my kids listen to would much rather listen to what i grew up with
I have always been a Morrison fan (of a younger group, being 46 now) but I have always liked his earlier stuff and for the moment being back home recovering from a major surgery, my dad overheard VAN coming from my room (yes MUSIC is absolutely my therapy).
Dad has difficulty hearing now from years of working with damaging equipment ..however he has taken so much pleasure in finding a common ground for us that I think even if he can't hear it as clearly as either he would like or I would like for him to...I still think he would enjoy seeing the concert at the Shrine in January together...he brought in the turntable from the garage and all of his VAN MORRISON...he since brought in other vinyl for me but the Van came first .... He was especially pleased when he was the one to educate me that the song "GLORIA" was written by VM
thumps up ..I was moved ...hope for the best !
Van may be a grumpy old man, but boy can he sing . Brings me great to joy to hear him sing . He lifts me up in ways that no one else does . Have others I love as much but he is special in different ways . On par with Dylan , The Boss , Jackson Browne and Neil Young . These are the greats in my life time .
I first saw and heard this man's music December, 1970 at Massey Hall ( Toronto ) when I was eighteen. When He performed the songs from the Astral Weeks album - I just knew this man's music - like any truly great art - was going to be timeless.
Forty six years later - I have the exact same opinion as I had then.
Whenever I hear his music being listened to by successive generations - it puts a smile on my face knowing that his musical genius will live on.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories - Mr. Van Morrison.
brown eyed girl reminded me of the Brown eyed Susans growing wild in the fields where I was born....Even my parents over 100 years now loved Van...for Moondance ...we were in Nova Scotia /New brunswick and the moon was just rising over the Atlantic Ocean....Just a girl then but my WW2 parents loved him....good memories...Van will always even 100 years from now...an enduring Poet/Musician. best wishes. catd
Me Too!
yeah couldn't agree more...and a fellow belfast man too!!!
+GKDESIGN 2014 'THE MAN' was just on Jimmy Fallon. Amazing! Nothin' better than Tupelo Honey!!
Lea Ramage True "art and artists" simply transcend time.Art & Artists will be remembered long after their earthly time has expired.
Really can we agree that this man is a genius. The Mozart of rock!
The man's voice is a force of nature!!
Van at his finest. His music is as fresh as the day it was recorded. A timeless song...incredible!
one of my all time favorite songs, I never get tired of hearing it, & it's beauty brings tears to my eyes but also a smile " all the tea in Chinny"
His nuance is astounding. The second time he sings "You can take all the Tea in "CHINER" is subtle and brilliant.
@George Ivan Morrison ALWAYS. The greatest line in rock and roll history is in Wild Night...."all the girls go by, dressed up for each other"
Man, this song takes me to a place I love to be.
This is a patriotic song about America."Men with insight; men in granite." Those are the founding fathers and presidents on Mount Rushmore. This classic is a love song to the USA.
Van Morrison combined rock n' roll with the blues, and was a genius at doing so! He was one of my favorites!
was?
yes beautiful sunshine,🌹 this song is so touching, I can feel it, I’m James how are you doing..?
Close your eyes,tilt your head back, and listen to pure musical genius. Such a beautiful piece. :)
. . . and when you're done listening to that put on Madame George, Independence Day, Summertime in England, T.B. Sheets, Ballerina . . . . and on and on
Born 1956......first heard this in 1971 and I’m 63 in 2019....Miss you Honey !
This song reminds me of friends who are no longer here. I still miss some of them, some of them are in a better place now without pain or suffering.
BEST SOLO EVER!! incredible music genius! we were the luckiest generation, of a rock & roll era, thank you God almighty!
RoseJean Moloughney I was born in 68. astral weeks came out a month later in September. I wish I was born earlier. What an era for music.
Jesus... There are no words for what this song does to me. ❤
Brandie 8 Quick
Brandie Quick I agree so much..
Brandie Quick a musical orgasm???
If we could bottle and sell that feeling we could make millions!!!!!
The smoothest song ever Russ england
Van Morrison, singer/songwriter, speaks to me in a way that no other music artist does.😊
got into Van after a divorce and being single dad of two little angels. We listened to Van on Sunday mornings at home and many long drives. The kids are grown and doing well now - and have the happiest memories of Van’s soothing voice.
a real classic...
doesn't get to much better than this!
How much better could it get... Seriously people.
Better ....is a Word not recquired.?..that involves winning ? how about EQUAL instead....and on that note ASTRAL WEEKS, MOONDANCE, etc etc ..
1970-1973 were banner years, full of love and hope for the planet and each
other. IMHO. When he passes there will be an outpouring of sadness. It will be a time for serious reflection on who we have become.
Remember this from the late 60's. I fell in love with his music then and there. One of the very best.
So far ahead of his time. Amazed by the timelessness of VM. Certainly an under appreciated treasure of this era.
1971 actually...
This song is like butter. So easy to hear and just lovely. Went to Mcdonalds to get a latte today to stay awake and before i could ask a man who looked homeless if i could but him something he bought me something.
Listened and sang with him for 6 hours and this song came up. Was reminded that i do like music and something good i will take from it is that i can sing and i should not be so hard and critical on myself. Just wanted to share that: Thank you.
Van is into the mystic. Its good listening to in the pub.
IN 69, Morrison moved to the bay area. Not known to me, Bert Berns had virtually shut him down and made it impossible for him to make a living on the east coast. To his credit, Bill Graham gave him, (as I remember), one night a week to play the old Fillmore. I was there every night for year or so. Watched the man grow in front of my eyes and ears, devleloping Moondance and His Band and Sreet Choir. Working those chops on the horn. I saw everybody, Who, Hendrix, Traffic, Zeppelin.... Nothing came close to this man's genius.
I remember when Van lived in SF and was doing frequent shows in the area. I learned all of this from KSAN announcements, but alas I was too young and too far away from the BA to be able to see him.
Wow.. you were very lucky to have seen Van and everyone else that you did. My older brother also saw great 60's & 70's bands at smaller venues.
He saw Cream at a high school near our home town in 68' for $2.50.
*I finally did see Van this past Summer. And he played 'THEM' songs. I posted the concert.
@FooBar Maximus Don't be a dick
The body of quality and ever searching music alone is astounding. Van the Man!
Wow, great comment, i'm sure authentic, and thanks for the frame of reference - it's important really to hold everyone up against their counterparts. BTW - never mind the begrudgers on this thread. some people love to bitch.
Now in my sixties a song like this brings back more memories .... That it always brings a smile to me face.
we had the BEST MUSIC EVER..... these kids now days got fucked .
'Candygram.' in muffled voice...
it is amazing how much I dream of these times in my life when I was young
She gives me love crazy love van morrison
I'm 66, I've been listening to him for 45 years. Tupelo honey and Brown eye girl are the 2 songs that started my love for his music. I am married to a Brown eyed girl who is my Tupelo Honey, and has been for 47 years. Van is the BEST!!!
I'm now 64...my husband's with the angels... but I remember the good times when I listen to Van.
van morrison ... the greatest singer song writer composer that has ever lived on this planet. his music carrys me through the past holds me in the present and calls me to the future. i fell in love with my wife to this song. may she rest in peace
beautiful testimony to a beautiful woman...may she rest in peace with this man's soulful voice in chorus with angels...
breakdown 383 van is the beating heart of our lyrical lives.
Spencer Perry, what a beautiful way to describe his effect on us all.
Beautiful.
ever hear of Bob Marley?
Of all of Van Morrison's songs, this is my personal favorite. An incredible artist and underrated lyricist!
Hello Nunes
One of the most spontaneous and romantic moments I’ve ever had with my wife dancing to this song in a living room in Dublin. I’ll never forget it. Everyone needs to feel like that once in their life. ❤️
Hello Tabitha
I am 60 and I was blessed to grow up while the best ever played music was in the air, what a shot of luck, thank you God to have let me be a witness of that magic.....

So soulful and sweet. Actually taking some time to appreciate the music from my mother's era (I'm 36). I miss her and this reminds me of her playing her records when I was little. RIP, momma.

When music touched your soul. No dance moves. No flashing lights and smoke. No costumes. Just music that you feel without the flash.
I got to go dry my eyes now after this song, this beautiful song reminds me of my beautiful wife, love you dear
Great guitar playing by Ronnie Montrose. Amazing songwriter and singer is Van.
Wow. You know this is Ronnie Montrose....from the liner notes?
