I've known Van since I was a small child. Classically trained as a mezzo-soprano it didn't stop me sitting on his lap & singing songs of all genres (a LOT of Irish folk). Van was brought up under the sound of the gospel & this & many other songs he sings show this. He's also one of the most genuine & unaffected men you could wish to meet. He'll always be just, "our Van"😊.

How wonderful to know him
@CartePostale.3 ай бұрын
@@kidkanoo It has been. When my spouse & I met, we both lived in areas of the U.K. & Ireland. I don't believe in "fate" but "guidance" & we both ended up in the same city. He was close friends with Mark & David Knopfler (They founded "Dire Straits", "Sting"/ Gordon Sumner - although he took himself too seriously too soon). My contributions were Van & the whole Bhraonaoin "Clannad" (The Brennans & two uncles, as I wrote, formed the Irish/New Age/Folk band "Clannad"). Over all, my two favorites Are #1. Van#2. Mark😊

My dear husband passed away just before the 2020 covid shutdown. This was one of our songs. He was the love of my life and my music buddy. We only had about 3 good years together. Too little. He would often ask me "Have I told you today how much I love you?" Bittersweet memories....."Fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness, ease my troubles, that's what you do."

You DO know that this was written by Van Morrison as a hymn to the Creator? I think that this is a wonderful song for your husband's passing and the Van Morrison would be happy that you honored him that way. Hope that makes it even more meaningful for you. Like God was saying "I love you both" when you chose it. You had a great treasure and I am sure you will meet again and this song will be playing.

When I was younger, I first heard this song done by Jim Reeves. I thought it was about a man saying all those sweet words to his wife. Later when I was grown, I heard the same song sang by Van Morrison. I realised that it was a person saying all those wonderful words to God. My favourite part is where he/she says, "Ease my troubles that's what you do." I can totally relate.

I read your comment and I'm sorry to read that you lost your daughter. You can be sure, she is now safe in God's memory. But I would like to give you hope through Gods word that was written down in the bible. Do you know, God promises in the bible lovingly a time, when you will be able to see your daughter again here on earth?! For example in Revelations 21:3-5 "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God said:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. He means that there will be a time on earth when everyone who has lost someone, will be able to hold them in the arms again and welcome them to the new world, a life on earth in peace without sicknesses, disease and misfortune! Actually God is telling... "have faith in me, I'll make everything up to you, believe in me, I take care because I love you." If you are interested, I can recommend you an very motivating and hopegiving interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever/Your loved ones can live again" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/section-2/lesson-30/ This book is based on the bible and is about what God will do in the very near future, and how it can give you hope now and for the future. Even if many don't think about God or don't believe in him, God believes in us and offers us humans to be his friends, and in return he will give us peace, joy and security in a coming beautiful world in the near future. I honestly wish you and your granddaughters all the best for your future and send you my best regards Michel
