This song is home, memory lane and a galactic stem that gut punches your soul and nurtures your growth. I'm 41 years old and I'm a black man that loves this song because it has an impact on any humanity of heart, soul and spirit. God's creation. The message and the token that was tossed in this fountain well? Priceless!!! It delivered beyond this universe. I only wish that the universe would manifest this message and let it nurture mankind and it's existence. If possible? Than it would be set in stone like God always intended it would be.. Louie Armstrong" what a wonderful world 🌎".

If I were stranded on an island with only one musician's work to hear, it would be Van Morrison. One listen to this profoundly sentimental heart-tugging gem, and you'll know why. Virtually every comment here mentions how much this tune and Van mean to them and me. Music transports me to other places, but none compare to that of Van Morrison. He is an incomparable generational treasure.

@musicfanhawk4523 Жыл бұрын

I agree! If I was stranded anywhere I would want Vans music with me, going All the way back to Them, so many tunes, such an amazing voice musician and songwriter. I absolutely love this performance here, the arrangement and song are outstanding!

I am 75, have followed Van from his begining. I studied music and played coronet , trumpet and baritone since age 10. What a beautiful piece of music here indeed.Van is such a treasure with an incredible vocal talent. A voice so distintive with audio waveforms instantnly recognzizable , also showing his raw vocal power that transcends all listeners " into the mystic " ! Of course we can also add his great song writing skills to his repertoire.

In 1971, I was driving my son and daughter to nursery school when I turned on the car radio...at the exact, first note of Tupelo Honey. I was enthralled by the voice. (Had to remind myself to pay attention to the road...) When I got home, I went straight to the phone, called the disc jockey. "Who was that?" "Van Morrison". Got back in the car, drove to the record store, bought my first album. God bless the curmudgeon.

@lizzybeth22 7 жыл бұрын

Ken, I don't see the original comment you're referring to, but I gather Alan was not thrilled with Van in concert. As one who has seen him about 6 x in the last 8 years (and who shelled out $150 to see him in Oakland again in October) I can tell you that the 1st time I saw him WAS a religious experience. Great way to put it. The other concerts were also superb. Has he put on concerts that were less so, in the past? I'm sure he has. But I believe he is at the top of his game. He is an AMAZING performer. He actually comes to the states once every year- 18 months. GO SEE HIM. Our favorite performers are dropping like flies. When they're gone, they're gone.

I always smile when I think about all the Irish and British musicians who heard the soulful music that black artists were creating here in the states that was then brought back to us like it was something new. America was far too divided by race to ever hear our own songs but these musicians knew. Like Van the Man sings in Cleaning Windows: " I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon On the street where I was born Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters singin' "I'm A Rolling Stone"
