So....the last 4 years have been some journey for me.... Leukemia. My soulmate , my love , my squeeze , my friend.....left me high and dry. Decided she'd had enough of caring for me. I've been in the lowest of lowest places imaginable. Shaken hands with cancer, stood at the edge with no hope , something just something somewhere held my hand. Van Morrison has always been my " go to" in times of trouble. My healing has begun....my leukemia is under control, have someone new in my life....NEVER give up folks....Van Morrison has been my healer. I can easily drift into another world listening to this...pure genius.

Never heard a more soulful song and probably never will and yes I have ever single song Van has produced. He is simply the greatest musical genius our times a true musicians musician a master of masters and I am so great full to have discovered Van so many years ago.

Van Morrison is one of the greatest musician in modern times ... he s ageless , he puts his heart into every song he writes and sings ....

The best version of this song I have ever heard

This is no simple music. This goes straigth to the heart and soul. Thank you Van.

I'm 63 this November 2020. When that day comes I'm going to pull my Harmonicas out and tear this song up. I'm going to play it in many ways that it should be played, not because I think Mr. Morrison could of done a better job but just because he did such an incredible job that it influenced me in going above and beyond myself....PAPAMMM!!!

That is one very important song in the world of great music, the live version is better than the studio-recorded version and that is saying something

This music is more powerful than any vaccine, it heals the soul and makes even the worst day better. There is real magic in this man, Van a living legend.

What can we say about Van that hasn't already been said. There are no words in our language to describe is soulfulness, coolness and his greatness. So glad I love Van and been doing so since,1965 when I first heard Them...

111 people and I commented. Love you all. Thank you, Van Morrison.

The solo's of these musicians ***king briljant.

Thunderbird !! I knew I loved that man !! 😹😹😹

I met a beautiful woman that is my whole world. She is the wind in my sails and the North Star that I navigate back to safe harbor with. I was in a mental storm for 4 years after a really F...ed up divorce and the death of my son. I now see the shoreline coming into view. I am blessed beyond words. She is gorgeous and smart. Brains, beauty, and grace. I melt at her touch. I wake to her thought and go to sleep to her thought. Gratitude is not a strong enough word or emotion. I might be the luckiest and most fortunate man in the world.

My wife passed away 2 days ago. I woke up at 2am to the aroma of roses. Rolled over put my youtube back on and this was the song that first played. ???.

What a soulful loving voice! Noone comes near.

GOD---The sheer brilliance of Van is too,too much & the band is spot on. He simply keep up his brilliant writing & performances. Let's hope he keeps going for ever. From a 77yo Aussie ,mad keen fan.

pure unadulterated joy from beginning to end

With all this diseray in life,it's good to listen to this man VAN,his music will groove you're SOUL!!

I needed to hear this healing Song, wasn't sure where my help was coming from: 😃 I knew from God. Thank you & I pray healings & Blessings always to you & yours. You have a fan & ☺️ friend.

Hopefully after November we can see, feel, taste and hear the healing for this universe

When he is in the mood, he swings, his finest song, well my favourite.

ALL WHO BELEIVE TRULY ALWAYS FOLLOW THE HOLYSPIRIT WHO RESIDES INALL BELEIVERS OF THE UNIVERSR AMEN IN HIS HOLYNAME JESUSCHRIST SAVIO OF THE WORLD LISTEN TO VAN AWSOME WITHOUT COMPARITY AMEN

Van always played with killer musicians. Fabulous ensemble here as well....

THIS WAS MY MUSICAL EDUCATION . THIS IS MORE THAN POP MUSIC . RAVE ON THE CELTIC ONE .

So many GREAT Van songs, and it is not my place to be cleaning musical windows. But this be 1 of his best.

Saw him live in the gaity venue, could be wrong. We were in the balcony. He blew our minds away, up there with me

And we walked the avenue of love. Again sing all the songs of way back. Smile ain't it all worth , saxaphone,

This is my favorite version of this song. Wish there was video of the musicians.

Van is a gift of God. Simply superb.

Whoever is playing that sax has hit it out the park.

Good or what. Totally brilliant is our Van. Gives me so much pleasure, especially during these crap times. Be safe everyone and enjoy the Man

Masterpiece! 💚❤️. Thanks Van. Rave on!

G.O.A.T. Rave on Van! Love you so much! Beautiful music 💚🍀

I love all the comments it's almost like everybody has a story..... they sound like sad stories... but sad stories all remind you of happy stories...." who's got this?"... every time I heard that part I always said I got it!....... got to love the trombone!.... And believe me that sax is bad as hell too,!... I'm going to double edit because every instrument and Van it's just all rings like it belongs

I saw Van Morrison twice, Moon dance concert , Convocation Hall , Toronto, Maple leaf Gardens 1970s, one of the most poetic singer songwriter that ever existed 🤗

The best version of this beautiful song by Van the Man

Gotta go in. Sun now gone and it’s cold. Need to eat. Heat on etc. My friend’s family were so lovely today. Helped me with loads of stuff. Put door back on garden shed so I can now put lawnmower etc back in there n lock it. Everything dumped in snooker room til that got sorted. Fixed light switch living room, checked other fittings, put heavy base n umbrella on patio, etc. Gave her a sofa n a magnolia tree. I love magnolia trees. Rita across the road has an impressive one. My mum used to have the best garden in town but it’s crap since she went away. Nothing compares to her. That pic here by the way her maybe Ashford Castle on honeymoon. Costs an arm n a leg these days. Probably owned by some Americans. There are a lot of photos there of her as well as Limerick, Galway, Kerry…

A heart that grows and grows when the healing g has begun. Ease on up

This is heaven.

The best there is and the best is yet to come......Pure Joy to behold

THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE VAN IN THIS LIFE TIME, AN AMAZING MAN🚶🎸🧡🎼

Back street, love grows and grows, healing has begun. All you got to do is take my hand, yonder, where is your home, when I'm home in the on in the alley, and we'll walk down the Avenue of love.

This is such great, great music. I can barely contain my self. I love it. ❤️💚🍀

LOVE YOU ALL ON KZfaqNORMAL PEOPLE AMEN

Van is the Greatest. Words beyond me. Best ever heard. Love me some Van. KAG2020.

Ceecailif you found another gem. One of my favorites off of Into the Music album. Song touches my soul. Love the way the band sketches it out. Van rapping. I've listened to this cut over and over dig a digg a dig dig ga did dig back street jelly roll soul! Soul. Way way waay back in the backstreet. Waaaay back home in the backstreet.

Love this song. Its the end credits song to the film Belfast

Forgot the year, but Van played 4 venue's that year. I was lucky enough to see him at the one in Memphis. With a smile on my face at Riverside And Beale on the banks of the Mississippi. Perfect 🥰 . A few yrs later, I stood in the rain for 2 hours watching Bob Dylan Play, right before Time Out of Mind came out. I cannot tell which one I was most happy at. I just thank God I live in Memphis at a time To see these two great men and their music...I have seen alot of great Music and the old school blues guys, but these made my heart Sing.. ❤ 💙 💜 💖 Much love

Van the man Morrison i love your work and your writing and composing 😎😎🖐

Ma healing begun, since I first heard his warm loving Voice.

It's so good I can barely stand it.

Never on Sunday , the best.

here we are again, back where we want to be...

Smile, all worth while, easter bonnet, who has got it, saxaphone, and the healing has begun, I didnt know you stayed up so late, window sill, take this backstreet, jelly road, dig deep, when the feeling in your heart just grows and grows, ease on up on the back street and the healing has begun, shake my hand on the back street, way home in the alley, wild on the

The bests singer of the oll time.. Your voice ❤️❤️.. Love your talent..

Please don't go to New Orleans, baby please don't go, be a doll, midnight train, don't Rob your soul, get her here and walk the dog, have I told you lately that I love, there's no one above, take away my sadness ease my troubles that what's you do, sublime like the sun at the end we should pray to the one, hope and gladness, ease my troubles that's what you do. In the end of the day,

And the healing has begun

Perhaps one of Van's best, but he has so so many. I've seen Van and many great musicians over the last 50 years, but none compares to him, not even Dylan. If I could only have been there....

Viva the music of the Big V - Van Morrison - the one and only!

Van The Man does it AGAIN!

TRhe sound quality on this is amazing !!

Beautiful music❤🎉❤🎉love

If the sun is shining Or the skies are thundering. As long as we've arrived at our destination, does any of it really matter. Long may we run.

love the instrumentals on this Van

Never on Sunday. Sing all the songs from way back when. Maybe worth marching healing music, saxophone, turned up saxaphone, when the healing has begun and we will walk down the Avenue of love, move on just a little bit, dig this mainstream where the healing begun, move on up just a little bit, jelly road, heart and soul, where were we, ya, ease on up to the back street, all you got to do is take it and see, I hope when I'm home on the alley,

Masterpiece

I would bet my first born that is David Hayes on bass. That bass sound is unmistakable.

This IS music!

yeah van and bob dylan will heal me with his love outside is first snow and someone will embrace me in this cold winter night in his eyes i feel spring

This clip is mesmerizing for me anyway - the poetry, the feel, everything is just Perfect! I have listened to this about 9000 times so 150 plus other people have also tuned in. Van Morrison is great when he's in the zone - it's just that he can be a grumpy bugger when things aren't quite working for him. Cheers....Philip

A wonderful performance !

When the healing has begun, trumpets, yahoo

Only can say WOW! Nothing better then this.

Oh wow, I was there!! I remember it, I’ve seen Van many times, he was on top form that night - and I got told off by theatre staff when they caught me filming on my digital camera, the tiny flashing red light gave me away 😂

This man is a musical Genius Enough said

Never, we will walk down the Avenue again, and smile, ain't was worthwhile.

I love this song as you know

And we will walk down the avenue of love, again , smile all worth while when healing

Saw van at Albert hall asked for requests I jumped up and shouted "when the healing.. best song ever....

Healing has begun until you get there, way beyond yonder. When I'm home on the back street home ,

Phenomenal!!!

Love Van's strings on this classic song!

What an amazing combination of mandolin and trombone!!

l will take you hand in the backstreet and then the healing will begin. oh myyyy love his music !!!

Just gets to you, to the core..throws you back in time....yes when we were younger and sang from the heart the poetry we heard from the greats like Van and Joan Baez and Dylan, the Birds, and later R.E.M., and so many more---words that struck Depp. Words that endure today, more than ever. It's part nostalgia and part missing the power they had...because their songs were of peace. and I find myself, many years later, playing them over and over, or singing them wherever I am. Without denying the future, I do miss this incredible generation that brought about real change. Today's youth is picking up on that synergy and strongly. And I keep humming, "Forever young."

Just lost my job ….can’t bear it. Healing must begin…

ceccailif can't believe this didn't get 100 hits. anyway - thanks from one of us. 99 to go and THANKS from me. not everyone likes commercial supermarket music!

Listening this piece i feel in heaven!!! The best!!!

Bless King Van love and blessings to king van ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love it!! Do you dig it, di di dig it! Jelly Roll, feel it in your soul, when the healing has begun... 🎼🎶🎷🎙️🎹🎸🎺🥁

I offer this to our nation; now let's

Heart grows and grows when the healing has begun. Ease on up on this back road.

One of my favourite songs in the world
