    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”.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

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,

    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.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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...

I also remember the very first Togo’s that opened in Campbell in an old house. I miss those days.

      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.

      It's a tried and true first dance song at most weddings. It's beautiful.

    Always loved this song. This was a time when you found gems like this, because you listened to the entire album.

    There are very few songs that resonate as deeply within my soul as this one does. It hits the very core of me in an almost unexplainable way.

    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!

    My parents played this on record when Inead a child in the 80's. I grew up on music from thr 50s to at then..80s. I love music! music keeps me going, music keeps me level. I can not play an instrument to save my life...but I can play the hell out of a radio or whatever plays the music that gets me by...with that being said...I knew when I was a child, this song here which still gives me chills as it starts, would someday be one of the songs played at my wedding...because even then I knew marriage would be a mystical journey....then American reunion comes out and its featured in Jim's wedding lol. Anyway, I still used it as a wedding day song/dance with my wife. This song hits the core of my soul every single time I hear it. I wish someone could write something of that magnitude today...i like a lot of music, but also feel a lot of stuff past 2000 blows. rock genre anyway..... how can anyone click dislike? smack your parents for raising you with no tatse lol

    Besides this being an amazing song sung by an amazing artist Van Morrison 🌹. I think that we all have to understand what it is that we music lovers feel When we listen to such talented artists like Van Morrison . For me it's not about the instrumental, or the guitarist or what a great jam the drummer did. No it's not about that at all🕊️🕊️💫. Van Morrison is telling a story and we are his listeners as he explains all the experiences that we encounter in one's life ❤ Music heals and also helps So many understand, that none of us are alone during our good and bad times and our lives 🎉. He is explaining What life is all about!! Music. Is my inspiration every single day of my life. Thank you Van once again for helping me, when I thought I was lost 💫💫💫

    Nothing but pure joy to soak deep into the soul. Music to move through life with, to love life with all its corners and edges, and to share with a world desperate to be renewed with such soulful sound. Once heard, never forgotten, his music defies definition. ❤

    My Dad passed away in . 2016.
    And I still miss him. But he introduced
    me, and taught me music!! He was a better guitar player than I could ever hope to be.
    Played with Hank Snow.
    I still play guitar,and keep trying!!
    See you up there, dad, we,ll talk to the good lord together!!
