Into the Mystic! I keep forgetting I’m an old lady so when young people do not know that there is awesome music out there it’s good young people like you react to it. I’m lucky enough to have listened to the music of the day from the 50’s to today on the radio, on my phonograph, etc. I was also bathed in the music of the 40’s-especially WWWIi. My mom taught me the fox trot and I taught her the twist. Keep listening and sharing❤️
Oh man y'all have me going hard down memory lane. I sang Brown Eyed Girl to my first baby girl as her bedtime lullaby for so many years. My oldest bro was ten years older than me and he had Van on Vinyl. He was mostly a hard rock guy but Van was a certain mood, ya know?
This is 80s Van Morrison which feels a bit more mom and pop than his legendary earlier stuff. I wouldn’t even say this is one of the best songs on its album - Poetic Champions Compose - which is one of Van’s strongest albums from the 80s. Most of the other songs on that album are better. For his most famous songs check out Into the Mystic, Brown Eyed Girl, Tupelo Honey, Crazy love, Sweet Thing, Jackie Wilson Says, Wild Night etc
Shawn Colvin did a quite beautiful cover of this song (ua-cam.com/video/faPRvig_Q9c/v-deo.htmlsi=owhyQJ5bmZGwIN84). I can never make up my mind which one I like better.
Check out "Into The Mystic"! "Have I told you Lately" (that I love you.) was my wife and I's first dance song at our wedding. Van Morrison's body of work is so extensive. He's such a poet who's also a good musician. He's gone through many phases in his life and work such as getting more in touch with his religion phase and that comes out in his music on some albums. If you can catch some of his early 70's live performances, you'll be blown away. I don't know if I've heard him sing the same song the same way, twice.
Van has a lot of rocking songs as well and some soft songs like this. Really has a great list of songs. Wild Night, Into the Mystic, Moondance, Bright Side of the Road, Tupelo Honey.. to name a few
I am 72 years old and yes our music was great. Sir Van Morrison was and is one of the top music makers. Have a listen to "Moondance" "Tupelo Honey" My favourite is "Into The Mystic". ❤
Tupelo Honey is my favorite Van Morrison song, but he has so many great songs. His catalog is huge. Can't be too many artists with his wide range. Van is the Man. He has lots of bangers. Check out the Best of album. He also has many spiritual songs, his album Sense of Wonder has several and is my favorite Van album.
Morrison is so versatile - smooth and romantic, jazzy, soulful, funky. He does it all. Agree the the large number of posters voting for Into the Mystic as his best. In fact I consider Moondance his masterpiece album. Not a bad cut in the lot.
Van Morrison is a musical genius. I keep trying to see if he will tour anywhere close by. I may have to fly to Europe and he would be worth it. Check out Into The Mystic.
Thanks Ali for this great selection. I'm 72 and Van Morrison is one of my favorite singers. His voice is so emotive and his musical composing are superb. If you haven't you need to listen to his song "Tupelo Honey" one of the best love songs ever. But he had so many other beatiful songs to hear. It's a shame that music like this seems to be dead but people like you show that it's still relevant and alive.
Van morrison [sir george ivan morrison] is one of my favourite artists, i've liked him ever since i first heard them in 1964 [baby please don't go] i was lucky to see him live in australia back in the eighties.i have about 20 of his albums mostly on original vynal a couple of songs or three i think are good are warm love [hard nose the highway] wavelength [wavelength] days like this [days like this] there is just to many to list.here i would get cramp trying to list them, hoping he will tour again one day. rock on van. love the show sebs keep the good work mate.
"Many hours more to be spent".....you don't know the half of it. My favorite musical performer of all time. A voice for the ages...40+ albums...closing in on 60 years of performing. You MUST try "Tupelo Honey" my favorite song by him. Also - Moondance, Have I Told You Lately, And The Healing Has Begun, Carrying a Torch, Got To Go Back, St. Dominic's Preview, Jackie Wilson Said, Into The Mystic, Got To Go Back, Cypress Avenue, Wild Night, Celtic Ray, Beautiful Vision, Domino, The Healing Game, Real Real Gone, Gloria - that's a good start! He does rock, jazz, funk, soul, R&B, folk, a little bit of everything.
Now you've gone and done it. Van Morrison. There's no going back. Just wait until you hear the WHOLE ALBUM called "Moondance" (1970)👍😁 And then "His Band and the Street Choir" (also 1970). The whole album. It may as well be Moondance, Part 2. And then "Tupelo Honey" (1971). The whole album. And then his debut album, "Astral Weeks" (1968). The whole album. And then Saint Dominic's Preview (1972). The whole album. THEN you will be properly prepared for the rest of Van Morrison's music 😁
No, he's not a crooner, that's not his typical sound. Van doesn't have a typical sound. He's too creative to stick in a hole. If you like the classy angle, do Moondance, that's sooo classy. Watch the "Last Waltz - Van Morrison - Caravan" video to watch him live. And bro, Into The Mystic is spiritual and lets your soul think. The guy is a legend, you done been steered good. Have fun.
Van Morrison was a staple of the San Francisco music scene in the 70s. I saw him several times including at Filmore West, Winterland and The Lion's Share. The latter is a small club in San Anselmo, just north of the city, with a real intimate setting. I also bought most of his early records and still have the vinyl LPs. He never disappointed and always had first rate musicians playing with him.
I grew up in the UK and remember Van Morrison from the group Them. By the time I moved to San Francisco in 1967 he was a solo artist. The last time I saw him live was at the Band's farewell concert at Winterland. Luckily, I can relive that experience through The Last Waltz movie, with a clip of his performance available on UA-cam.
Check out this tune by Van Morrison for something completely different. This one is my favorite by him ever: ua-cam.com/video/ciK2n2MebTU/v-deo.htmlsi=ZqVncpWKoemRBdrO
You are trying too hard to categorize, Van. After the kids are in bed, turn down the lights, maybe light some candles, and put a Van Morrison Album on. He will take you on a spiritual journey, and you never end up where you started from. He started out more as a rock performer but then developed his own style which combines the blues and jazz, with skiffle, Irish poetry, folk, and country. He can't be categorized. My favorites are In the Garden, When the Leaves Come Falling Down, Hymns to the Silence, The Philosopher's Stone, Every Time I See a River, and about 50 others.
New Subscriber here. I'm 40 and listened to this music with my parents. In my opinion Van Morrison has better songs like "Crazy Love" or "And It Stoned Me" I also recommend James Taylor "Something In The Way She Moves" or "Fire and Rain."
Check out the double disc set a night in San Francisco. It’s brilliant and if you want to hear I just monster piece put on It’s a Man’s World. Grown-up big dog music!
This is a classic Van the Man song, but you have to dive deep into his ridiculously good catalog/career. His voice still sounds this good today live. And,yes,he's a master singer/songwriter. Love him for so many reasons.I walked through a lot of life issues with the help of his music growing up and his music still brings me comfort& joy today. ❤😊
Van Morrison is the best. You must listen to all his work. It is so diverse and unique. His love songs make me cry even after all these years. Deep Sigh. In the Afternoon : The light is fading in the afternoon Won't you see me baby in my room There's something that I wanna say to you Tell me baby am I gettin' through Wanna make, wanna make, wanna make, wanna make Love to you
Van was my brother's favorite artist. When he was laying in the hospital bed he and his wife were holding hands and listening to this song on the radio with tears rolling down both of their faces a few days before he finally succumbed to multiple myeloma. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life.
I love this Song so much! I "Into the Mystic" is one of my favorites! Van Morrison is a genius! Amazing lyrics, beautiful voice and soul.❣ We are so Blessed by his great talent❣❣❣ So happy young people are recognizing the craft of simple sweet music! 🙏
You should check out Tom waits sometime. He is an artist unlike any other. You either will love him or hate him. His voice is like gravel wrapped in velvet. Amazing lyrics. I recommend “picture in a frame” or “all the world is green” for lyrics. “The Train Song” sounds like he is quite literally bleeding out his lyrics, truly amazing. If you just wanna listen to something crazy them I recommend “Underground” or “Raised right men”. Sorry for the rant lol 😂 I just love the dude, gotta be my favorite song artist
Good morning Sebs and Ali hope your day is going well, check your p.o. box in a couple days. Brown eyed girl is done by Van Morrison. Have a great day ya'll Peace and Love to you and Millie and Penny ✌️♥️🙏🏻
This one is definitely a song for the romantic in you, but I can never get enough of Brown Eyed Girl because it's just so much fun with a wisp of nostalgia.
Just a few you need to react to “astral Weeks”, “into the Mystic”, “Moondance”, “Domino”, InArticulate Speech of the Heart”, Rave On Jon Donne, and about 20 more hits
Van Morrison...what a GREAT selection!! Joe Cocker has a slight similar style but was a hit at Woodstock. This is the direction you should be headheaded!! Thanks!!
You need to check out Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately (that I Love You)" and "Tupelo Honey" You can't go wrong having your lovely wife listen to "Have I Told Lately" with you.
Into The Mystic, Domino, Blue Money, Brown Eyed Girl, Wild Night, oh! and Tupelo Honey are just a few of his greatest hits. Other singer/song writers to look at, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Cat Steven, Carole King, Judy Collins, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell.
You have Jim Morrison, frontman for The Doors, confused with Irish Blues/Jazz/and R&B artist. they did perform together in 1967 in Los Angles' "Whisky-A-Go-Go on the Sunset strip. But they are two different people. Both were, and in Van's case Huge stars. "Brown Eyed Girl." "Into the mystic," "Caravan," Moondance" and many other great songs.
This is not like Van is…. In fact, it’s really like Van isn’t….. atypical. Van is not only a singer/songwriter writer. He produces all his albums, plays piano, guitar, sax and blues harp. Awesome live, very prone to jamming with his band. Watch some stuff from the 2008 Hollywood Bowl Concerts. Van is still releasing albums… huge rabbit hole to go down there. If you dig deeper he’ll blow you away. Please don’t put Brown Eyed Girl on the list. It’s a fairly basic tune and doesn’t really showcase the man’s talent. Written very early in his career.
Van is my go to all time favorite guy to listen to.His song These Are The Days moves me spiritually every time I hear it.He has a vast play book,very lyrical and romantic,plays several instruments.Still singing. Got to love an Irishman!
Old Van The Man has developed some funny old politics. Amazing how many of us fell out of the 60s and into the 50s. But Van Morrison produced some astonishing romantic songs, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart one that stabbed me when love wasn't running smooth.
Most of what I see mentioned here ...Brown Eyed Girl, Tupelo Honey, Someone Like you etc are Van's more commercial "hits" ... He is, in my opinion, one of the great musical artists of my lifetime ( I am 80 years old) His first really important album, Astral Weeks , is a masterwork and not "wedding music" ...he wrote and performed it in his 20s. It is also important to know that he plays the piano, sax, and brilliant harmonica... writes, arranges and composes his music... and yes, is a pretty terrific vocalist. I think it's so fantastic that you have highlighted this amazing ( still alive and performing) artist... but would say, you have kind of missed the point by focusing on his most commercial material... I remember remember being blown away the first time I heard "Have I told you lately that I love you" in the grocery store.!... Van Morrison's music wasn't taken so lightly when any of it was first released! There is a large body of work ...hoping you have encouraged more of your generation to check it out... it's worth your time !!
Amen Jane!! Learned to jitterbug from my parents (dancing in the kitchen!)! Danced in junior high school cafeteria with two girls at once to Bobby Vee! Same cafeteria, where moms volunteered on the serving line and pounded their serving spoons to the beat of Glad All Over!! Great times with great music!
Van Morrison is one of my all-time favorite musicians, singers. He is incredible. So much soul. He can play all the instruments on the stage. He continues to put out music, and I continue to buy it. I got to see him once when I was in 7th grade (I am now 64). Into the Mystic and Tupelo Honey are two you should listen to; for something a little faster, try Blue Money, Domino, or Wild Night. He can do it all.
Van Morrison's first band was called Them and were part of the 60's music revolution. you should check out Baby Please don't go -very cool, make sure you do the recorded Version as the session musician guitarist was Mr James Page of Led Zeppelin - listen to him make that guitar talk . Also you should definitely check ot Jim Morrison the Doors one of the best 60's american bands light my fire , riders on the storm or the crystal ship and many more .
new subscriber, just found your channel recently. I'm loving your reactions. At 1:19 you said "we have lost something." What has been lost is music education in the elementary schools in the USA. I'm in my 60's and remember going to music class at least two or three times a week from at least second grade because I remember singing songs from Mary Poppins when I was in second grade. We also learned to read music, and I started learning to play clarinet in fourth grade. We had band every day for about an hour starting when I was in the sixth grade. The generation that were making music in the 60's and early 70's had even more music opportunities and influence than my age. Take a listen sometime to the big band dance music of the WWII era as well as Jazz for the influences. I don't know if music in the US will ever turn around, glad you enjoy 'our' music.
You really need to listen to Into the Mystic. I've danced to this with my son since before he could walk. We still dance to it, and he's 22 and 6'5. ❤❤❤
Dude, Alley is making a not so subtle statement with this pick. Van Morrison is nicknamed the voice for good reason. Check out Gloria for something more rocking. Love your reactions and interactions.
I love hearing Van Morrison as much today as way back then. My all-time favorite is "Moondance."
Yes, I'm older (same age as Ali's dad).
Into the Mystic! I keep forgetting I’m an old lady so when young people do not know that there is awesome music out there it’s good young people like you react to it. I’m lucky enough to have listened to the music of the day from the 50’s to today on the radio, on my phonograph, etc. I was also bathed in the music of the 40’s-especially WWWIi. My mom taught me the fox trot and I taught her the twist. Keep listening and sharing❤️
another vote for Into the Mystic, also Wild Night, Have I Told You Lately, Moondance, Tupelo Honey, Domino.....Just pick any of his songs.
I can relate to exactly what you are saying. My mom taught me to love music of all genres when I was growing up and good music is timeless.
Tupelo Honey is a must listen to
Ditto!! You can't beat the music of "Van The Man"! I listen to some of his music every week.
Don't forget BROWN EYED GIRL....
I love every one of his songs!
This was my first dance wedding song. I love this song so much. The marriage only lasted 15 years but this song is still my favorite! I love Van!
Oh man y'all have me going hard down memory lane. I sang Brown Eyed Girl to my first baby girl as her bedtime lullaby for so many years. My oldest bro was ten years older than me and he had Van on Vinyl. He was mostly a hard rock guy but Van was a certain mood, ya know?

Now you need to check out Tupelo Honey. Any have Ali record it with you. You will both enjoy it.
Shawn Colvin did a quite beautiful cover of this song (ua-cam.com/video/faPRvig_Q9c/v-deo.htmlsi=owhyQJ5bmZGwIN84). I can never make up my mind which one I like better.

He has lots of bangers. Check out the Best of album. He also has many spiritual songs, his album Sense of Wonder has several and is my favorite Van album.
Mine too
Gotta do Van Morrison’s Tupelo Honey. It’s my favorite VM song. I’m 62 and mostly like the older stuff
Days Like This is an amazing song from Van Morrison. He's brilliant!
Into the Mystic the best Van Morrison song ❤
Love Into The Mystic, Brown Eyed Girl, yes our music was great! Such a variety…classics.
Morrison is so versatile - smooth and romantic, jazzy, soulful, funky. He does it all. Agree the the large number of posters voting for Into the Mystic as his best. In fact I consider Moondance his masterpiece album. Not a bad cut in the lot.
Into the mystic
Van Morrison is a musical genius. I keep trying to see if he will tour anywhere close by. I may have to fly to Europe and he would be worth it. Check out Into The Mystic.
Into The Mystic and Tupelo Honey should be next on the list. Van the Man has so many great songs.
Thanks Ali for this great selection. I'm 72 and Van Morrison is one of my favorite singers. His voice is so emotive and his musical composing are superb.

Into the Mystic!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Damned by faint praise, Van the Man is absolutely out of the stratosphere!
Van morrison [sir george ivan morrison] is one of my favourite artists, i've liked him ever since i first heard them in 1964 [baby please don't go] i was lucky to see him live in australia back in the eighties.i have about 20 of his albums mostly on original vynal a couple of songs or three i think are good are warm love [hard nose the highway] wavelength [wavelength] days like this [days like this]

The Doors were a group I saw in 1968 in San Francisco. At a graduation from high school party we listed to The Doors all night. Love Van Morrison.
Van the man that's what they used to call him, he was a great singer was part of the rock area very soulful unique voice
Great song, try "So Quiet in Here".
"Many hours more to be spent".....you don't know the half of it. My favorite musical performer of all time. A voice for the ages...40+ albums...closing in on 60 years of performing. You MUST try "Tupelo Honey" my favorite song by him. Also - Moondance, Have I Told You Lately, And The Healing Has Begun, Carrying a Torch, Got To Go Back, St. Dominic's Preview, Jackie Wilson Said, Into The Mystic, Got To Go Back, Cypress Avenue, Wild Night, Celtic Ray, Beautiful Vision, Domino, The Healing Game, Real Real Gone, Gloria - that's a good start! He does rock, jazz, funk, soul, R&B, folk, a little bit of everything.
Now you've gone and done it. Van Morrison. There's no going back. Just wait until you hear the WHOLE ALBUM called "Moondance" (1970)👍😁
And then "His Band and the Street Choir" (also 1970). The whole album. It may as well be Moondance, Part 2.
And then "Tupelo Honey" (1971). The whole album.
And then his debut album, "Astral Weeks" (1968). The whole album.
And then Saint Dominic's Preview (1972). The whole album.
THEN you will be properly prepared for the rest of Van Morrison's music 😁
No, he's not a crooner, that's not his typical sound. Van doesn't have a typical sound. He's too creative to stick in a hole. If you like the classy angle, do Moondance, that's sooo classy. Watch the "Last Waltz - Van Morrison - Caravan" video to watch him live. And bro, Into The Mystic is spiritual and lets your soul think. The guy is a legend, you done been steered good. Have fun.
LOVE this song so much !!
Timeless voice and music that most of us "from back then" still listen to.
Van Morrison was a staple of the San Francisco music scene in the 70s. I saw him several times including at Filmore West, Winterland and The Lion's Share. The latter is a small club in San Anselmo, just north of the city, with a real intimate setting. I also bought most of his early records and still have the vinyl LPs. He never disappointed and always had first rate musicians playing with him.
I grew up in the UK and remember Van Morrison from the group Them. By the time I moved to San Francisco in 1967 he was a solo artist. The last time I saw him live was at the Band's farewell concert at Winterland. Luckily, I can relive that experience through The Last Waltz movie, with a clip of his performance available on UA-cam.
If I remember correctly, at one time Rolling Stone considered Van's album Astral Weeks the best album ever recorded. Very good stuff.
I agree with you and the Stones.... Astral Weeks is a masterpiece!
Jim Morrison=Doors. Van Morrison=himself.
I hardly ever see anyone recommend this one, but Van Morrison's Wild Night is such a kick ass song.
Ali is having a REALLY great influence on song selections lately!
The entire moondance album is great
Check out this tune by Van Morrison for something completely different. This one is my favorite by him ever: ua-cam.com/video/ciK2n2MebTU/v-deo.htmlsi=ZqVncpWKoemRBdrO
VAN MORRISON is a musical genius. so many hits and different styles he made .i bet both your dads would say OH VAN IS THE MAN !
so so many wonderful van Morrison sings! 😊 He’s a poet musician
One of my favorite voices in music. He'd make the phone book sound good.
That's what I always say too!
Check out Caravan, Have I told you Lately, Moondance and many others.
You are trying too hard to categorize, Van. After the kids are in bed, turn down the lights, maybe light some candles, and put a Van Morrison Album on. He will take you on a spiritual journey, and you never end up where you started from.

My favorites are In the Garden, When the Leaves Come Falling Down, Hymns to the Silence, The Philosopher's Stone, Every Time I See a River, and about 50 others.
His voice is incredible. He is one of the greats.😊😊😊😊😊
Used to sing Tupelo Honey to my baby daughter to get her to go to sleep. My favorite Van Morrison song is Wavelength.
New Subscriber here. I'm 40 and listened to this music with my parents. In my opinion Van Morrison has better songs like "Crazy Love" or "And It Stoned Me" I also recommend James Taylor "Something In The Way She Moves" or "Fire and Rain."
Check out the double disc set a night in San Francisco. It’s brilliant and if you want to hear I just monster piece put on It’s a Man’s World. Grown-up big dog music!
Try his "Moondance" studio version.
Wow Van Morrison that’s a very deep rabbit hole if you liked this your gonna love “ Tupelo honey”
This is a classic Van the Man song, but you have to dive deep into his ridiculously good catalog/career. His voice still sounds this good today live. And,yes,he's a master singer/songwriter. Love him for so many reasons.I walked through a lot of life issues with the help of his music growing up and his music still brings me comfort& joy today. ❤😊
Van Morrison is the best. You must listen to all his work. It is so diverse and unique. His love songs make me cry even after all these years. Deep Sigh. In the Afternoon :
The light is fading in the afternoon
Won't you see me baby in my room
There's something that I wanna say to you
Tell me baby am I gettin' through
Wanna make, wanna make, wanna make, wanna make
Love to you
I’m 58 and when we were teenagers the FM stations still played older songs for us to appreciate…you don’t have that luxury today.
why don't you make a dinner party...let it happen:)
Van was my brother's favorite artist. When he was laying in the hospital bed he and his wife were holding hands and listening to this song on the radio with tears rolling down both of their faces a few days before he finally succumbed to multiple myeloma. It was one of the most moving experiences of my life.
This is Van the Man no doubt one of the great voices
Astral Weeks is one of my ten essential albums
Van Morrison is one of the greatest ever. ❤
We had the best music in the 60s and 70s.
I love this Song so much! I
"Into the Mystic" is one of my favorites! Van Morrison is a genius! Amazing lyrics, beautiful voice and soul.❣
We are so Blessed by his great talent❣❣❣
So happy young people are recognizing the craft of simple sweet music! 🙏
Thanks for this reaction. Reminds me of another great artist Joe Cocker. A Little Help from My Friends is one of his best.
You should check out Tom waits sometime. He is an artist unlike any other. You either will love him or hate him. His voice is like gravel wrapped in velvet. Amazing lyrics. I recommend “picture in a frame” or “all the world is green” for lyrics. “The Train Song” sounds like he is quite literally bleeding out his lyrics, truly amazing. If you just wanna listen to something crazy them I recommend “Underground” or “Raised right men”.
Sorry for the rant lol 😂 I just love the dude, gotta be my favorite song artist
So awesome ! I was going to recommend Tom Waits as well !!!
Van the Man💘I had the privilege to see him perform at an outdoor concert❤️🔥
73 yrs. here lol
"Moondance", "Domino", "Have I Told You Lately" - amongst many. Van Morrison was a poet and a musician and a magician. Love him.
Good morning Sebs and Ali hope your day is going well, check your p.o. box in a couple days. Brown eyed girl is done by Van Morrison. Have a great day ya'll Peace and Love to you and Millie and Penny ✌️♥️🙏🏻
This song feels like seeing a spotlight in the middle of the pouring rain on a city street in the middle of the night. ❤
Very poetic
This one is definitely a song for the romantic in you, but I can never get enough of Brown Eyed Girl because it's just so much fun with a wisp of nostalgia.
You two are absolutely adorable! Such a wonderful song pick! Good Taste!!❣
Van is awesome .. his music is great
Love your show
You two are amazing together
Loved this in the movie Bridget Jones
Cute movie
My favourite!!!
You have got to listen to “Moondance”!! I saw him in concert once; he had a high kick when he was really groovin’, anybody remember that?
“And it Stoned Me” is his best IMO
Finally someone mentioned this one! YES!
"Moondance" and "Tupelo Honey" are his two biggest hits besides "Brown Eyed Girl" ane they are both Wonderful!
Just a few you need to react to “astral Weeks”, “into the Mystic”, “Moondance”, “Domino”, InArticulate Speech of the Heart”, Rave On Jon Donne, and about 20 more hits
🙋🏻♀️ was my wedding song! He has a nice variety of music
from reactions on the treadmill to Dad Bod t-shirt.... hqpp3ns to most of us......
Van Morrison...what a GREAT selection!! Joe Cocker has a slight similar style but was a hit at Woodstock. This is the direction you should be headheaded!! Thanks!!
You need to check out Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately (that I Love You)" and "Tupelo Honey" You can't go wrong having your lovely wife listen to "Have I Told Lately" with you.
Into The Mystic, Domino, Blue Money, Brown Eyed Girl, Wild Night, oh! and Tupelo Honey are just a few of his greatest hits. Other singer/song writers to look at, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Cat Steven, Carole King, Judy Collins, Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell.
You have Jim Morrison, frontman for The Doors, confused with Irish Blues/Jazz/and R&B artist. they did perform together in 1967 in Los Angles' "Whisky-A-Go-Go on the Sunset strip. But they are two different people. Both were, and in Van's case Huge stars. "Brown Eyed Girl." "Into the mystic," "Caravan," Moondance" and many other great songs.
Van Morrison was 18 years old with the band Them. G-L-O-R-I-A and Baby Please Don't Go are essential rock songs. React to them. You will thank me. ❤ 😊
This is not like Van is…. In fact, it’s really like Van isn’t….. atypical.
Van is not only a singer/songwriter writer. He produces all his albums, plays piano, guitar, sax and blues harp. Awesome live, very prone to jamming with his band. Watch some stuff from the 2008 Hollywood Bowl Concerts.
Van is still releasing albums… huge rabbit hole to go down there. If you dig deeper he’ll blow you away.
Please don’t put Brown Eyed Girl on the list. It’s a fairly basic tune and doesn’t really showcase the man’s talent. Written very early in his career.
Yeah Into the Mystic, Tupelo Honey,as you've mentioned Brown eyed girl and so many others. All the way back from the mid sixties to the present
A proper grumpy old git, but what a singer songwriter, saw him perform once, wonderful!
Such a beautiful song ……..also discovered van so late ….god bless
Van Morrison was great make-out music back in my day. Sinatra was #1, of course, but Van was definitely in the top 10!
Van is my go to all time favorite guy to listen to.His song These Are The Days moves me spiritually every time I hear it.He has a vast play book,very lyrical and romantic,plays several instruments.Still singing. Got to love an Irishman!
50’s through the 80’s is the best music ever. Proper music pretty much stopped after that. Most modern music is crass manufactured garbage.
Old Van The Man has developed some funny old politics. Amazing how many of us fell out of the 60s and into the 50s. But Van Morrison produced some astonishing romantic songs, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart one that stabbed me when love wasn't running smooth.
Most of what I see mentioned here ...Brown Eyed Girl, Tupelo Honey, Someone Like you etc are Van's more commercial "hits" ... He is, in my opinion, one of the great musical artists of my lifetime ( I am 80 years old) His first really important album, Astral Weeks , is a masterwork and not "wedding music" ...he wrote and performed it in his 20s. It is also important to know that he plays the piano, sax, and brilliant harmonica... writes, arranges and composes his music... and yes, is a pretty terrific vocalist. I think it's so fantastic that you have highlighted this amazing ( still alive and performing) artist... but would say, you have kind of missed the point by focusing on his most commercial material... I remember remember being blown away the first time I heard "Have I told you lately that I love you" in the grocery store.!... Van Morrison's music wasn't taken so lightly when any of it was first released! There is a large body of work ...hoping you have encouraged more of your generation to check it out... it's worth your time !!
Amen Jane!! Learned to jitterbug from my parents (dancing in the kitchen!)! Danced in junior high school cafeteria with two girls at once to Bobby Vee! Same cafeteria, where moms volunteered on the serving line and pounded their serving spoons to the beat of Glad All Over!! Great times with great music!
Van Morrison is one of my all-time favorite musicians, singers. He is incredible. So much soul. He can play all the instruments on the stage. He continues to put out music, and I continue to buy it. I got to see him once when I was in 7th grade (I am now 64). Into the Mystic and Tupelo Honey are two you should listen to; for something a little faster, try Blue Money, Domino, or Wild Night. He can do it all.
The Doors are quite a rabbit hole unlike anything before or since🎶🎶🎶🎶
Van Morrison's first band was called Them and were part of the 60's music revolution. you should check out Baby Please don't go -very cool, make sure you do the recorded Version as the session musician guitarist was Mr James Page of Led Zeppelin - listen to him make that guitar talk .
Also you should definitely check ot Jim Morrison the Doors one of the best 60's american bands light my fire , riders on the storm or the crystal ship and many more .
new subscriber, just found your channel recently. I'm loving your reactions. At 1:19 you said "we have lost something." What has been lost is music education in the elementary schools in the USA. I'm in my 60's and remember going to music class at least two or three times a week from at least second grade because I remember singing songs from Mary Poppins when I was in second grade. We also learned to read music, and I started learning to play clarinet in fourth grade. We had band every day for about an hour starting when I was in the sixth grade. The generation that were making music in the 60's and early 70's had even more music opportunities and influence than my age. Take a listen sometime to the big band dance music of the WWII era as well as Jazz for the influences. I don't know if music in the US will ever turn around, glad you enjoy 'our' music.
You really need to listen to Into the Mystic. I've danced to this with my son since before he could walk. We still dance to it, and he's 22 and 6'5. ❤❤❤
Dude, Alley is making a not so subtle statement with this pick. Van Morrison is nicknamed the voice for good reason. Check out Gloria for something more rocking. Love your reactions and interactions.
