    Tell me you're older
    Wrap it in glory

    That you're so far away
    Like a ship out on the sea
    Without a sail, baby you've gone astray
    Tell me the facts real straight
    Don't make me over
    Wrap it in glory
    For one Irish Rover
    Tell me you've seen the light
    Tell me you know me
    Make it come out alright
    And wrap it in glory
    For one Irish Rover

    It's hard for me not to believe that "Foreign Window" is more about Dylan than Van Morrison lets on in the commentary, given how much the words fit Dylan's life. Regardless, the fact that it fits Dylan so much, along with the intimacy in the midst of grandeur, makes this blurry video one of the most beautiful musical moments ever recorded.

      When you quote someone, it'd be helpful to use "quotes" around the quote, so we could know where the quote begins and ends. And, really luv, is it so painful to use caps and punctuation, so we can know also where the sentences begin and end? Ulysses was more pure shite for the lack of grammar and punctuation. Far more. Are we all sloppy, bloody little Joyces with our sloppy sms-ing?. No, we're not. Clean it up. Fly right.

    Raglan Road was a poem written by Patrick Kavanagh, in fact if you walk up to the canal at upper Baggot St, Dublin you'll see the monument of Kavanagh sitting there-he wrote it about a lost love whom he encountered many years before, it's a touching poem and was first sung by Luke Kelly, but I like Van's rendition.

      or "Ezra Pound and TS Eliot fighting in the captain's tower?" Either way..2 of the timeless titans of modern music.

    Thanks to UA-cam finally reconnected with VM after long break from dusty CD's and cassette tapes. After listening to "Into the Mystic" and other gems for first time - had to wonder what I've been doing for the last 40 years ??? 🤔🤔

    Bob and Van are two of my all time favourite singer-songwriters and influences.

      I'll say, Bob is God's gift to humanity. He's got it all. But I'm a woman, I'm appreciating Bob's gorgeous, charismatic appearance. He makes me feel lust, be his woman. Yes I want him so baaad..Bob has that affect on women.. the Morrison guy not..Mr M. Is obviously inspired by Bob, put in a touch of Rimbaud, doesn't make him (M) in Bob's range. I can very well understand that men, likes Morrison, he isn't a treat to their women. I would follow Bob in a heartbeat, leave them all behind (family) But it's only Bob who has that magical impact...🌎🔥💙💥

    With the Parthenon behind these two relentless troubadours we enter the palace of the lord. Van the Man and Bob on harmonica. Thru a foreign window where I have been Amen.

    This is fantastic. Wish Van would do more stuff with just acoustic backing.
