    Sir George Ivan Morrison is a brilliant musician and singer. First time I heard Brown Eyed Girl when I was a kid I instantly fell in love with his voice. One of the greats!❤

    Written, composed, and produced by Van himself. Oh....and he plays like 5 instruments on his songs. Brilliant artist. And the story of John Dunn and other marginalized poets and the power of the written word through the ages......beautiful!

    Love me some Van Morrison. I grew up listening to him, my mom had his songs and Leon Russell spinning on the record console all the time. What beautiful memories🎶 🤗 Thanks for sharing this one, fellas.
    Here's another suggestion for another song by "Van Morrison - Cyprus Avenue - 9/23/1970 - Fillmore East, New York, NY (Official)" and if you'd like to hear another fabulous piano player then check out "Leon Russell - Wild Horses (Live)" (by the Channel: A Place in Time) this performance was in 1980 at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, California. Leon Russell was amazing to look at he had a kind of stage presence that would mesmerize an entire audience...this is magical stuff, guys.

    John Donne was a 16th century cleric and metaphysical poet, whose various works were considered too controversial for its time and were published long after his death. Van Morrison cites several others of this ilk by name, including American poet Walt Whitman and Lebanese mystic poet Khalil Gibran, Iranian poet Omar Khayyam and Irish poet William Butler Yates, presumably all of whom Mr. Morrison studied in his spiritual journey. One of the reasons Van Morrison is considered a superb artist, among his many musical talents, is the depth of his lyrical body of work.

    Who else but Van Morrison could take a Buddy Holly song titled Rave On, connect it to John Donne and into Van’s library of knowledge he
    had on history, poetry, writers like Walt Whitman, Omar Khayam, Kahlil Gibran, and, lest we forget, the Irish poet“rave on Mr. Yeats!”. Add philosophy, nature, and theosophy, and this is the sort of song Morrison leaps into the vanguard of the mystic musing off rock & roll.
    Thank you, guys, for playing such an eclectic song on your program. Nobody does it like Airplay Bests. Nobody does it better than you.

    Van live, it do not get any better🙂. He always performs with A+ musicians. His vocals were at their best in the early 90's. "A night in San Francisco" is incredible, deeper into the blues! With great ballads as well.

    Love Van's music. He has written some absolutely fabulous songs. It's a very long list! When you see him live, you're not sure what you're going to get. He can be absolutely brilliant or in one of his moods and just mailing it in--I've seen both. He always has great musicians playing in his bands. It's Too Late to Stop Now is a great live performance so is Hollywood Bowl 2008 and many others. Everyone tells reactors to check out his live performance of Caravan in The Last Waltz, but to me, it is way too rushed and takes away from the intended vibe of a brilliant song.

    Go and catch a falling star,
    Get with child a mandrake root,
    Tell me where all past years are,
    Or who cleft the devil's foot,
    Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
    Or to keep off envy's stinging,
    And find
    What wind
    Serves to advance an honest mind.
    If thou be'st born to strange sights,
    Things invisible to see,
    Ride ten thousand days and nights,
    Till age snow white hairs on thee,
    Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me,
    All strange wonders that befell thee,
    And swear,
    No where
    Lives a woman true, and fair.
    If thou find'st one, let me know,
    Such a pilgrimage were sweet;
    Yet do not, I would not go,
    Though at next door we might meet;
    Though she were true, when you met her,
    And last, till you write your letter,
    Yet she
    Will be
    False, ere I come, to two, or three.
