As my all time favorite song. I was on the fence hearing anyone attempt to do a cover of it! Then you opened your mouth! Amazing voice!!! I love that you put your own spin on the song and made it yours, not a copy of the song. Did I say AMAZING VOICE? Great job ! I will be checking out all your videos now.
My husband played this for me when we were courting so many years ago. I played it at his funeral 32 years later. Your voice and rendition were outstanding and brought back a whole lifetime of memories. Thank you so much.
I was just wondering what it would be like to have someone that felt that way toward me. For just a moment, I got to live that experience thru you… bitter-sweet heartbreak and all. Thank you for sharing. ❤️ 🌈 ✌🏼
@@paulmckenzie4291 I am blessed with good health and the love of family and friends. Your kind words are deeply appreciated. A stranger may be only a friend you have not met yet. Thank you and all good things are wished for you and those you love too.
@@HillbillyHippyOG thank you. Your compassion gives me hope that someday you will know great love. In the meantime, keep giving it to others. It heals hearts and grows exponentially. Keep on keepin' on....
I danced with my daughter at her wedding to this song. The world literally melted away and it was just her and I. Held her tight just like I did when she was just a baby.
How is it possible that there are 184 people on this planet who don't like this video? This man has a once-in-a-lifetime voice. Thank you for sharing your gift with us, Jay!
I am so proud to say I was born in Ireland yes Van Morrison. Pierce Brosnan. Daniel Day-Lewis. Jamie Dornan. Liam Neeson. Killian Murphy. Lady that stars in Outlander she was born in Ireland Saoirse Ronan
I find that since UA-cam started to offer Paid Subscriptions with no ads the variety is very slim. I keep seeing the same suggested videos over and over again.
Mine’s Unchained Melody but I have to consider adding this one too. Don’t know why it never crossed my mind as this is one of my all time favorites. 👍🏻
What an amazing job my grandfather sadly no longer with us and vans father were good friends you have the seal of approval from this Belfast man respect
Superb. Without question the best version/cover of this classic I've ever heard. Stripped down to it's most fundamental spirit, supported by a truly magical bass baritone voice. Weldone.
Love it Jay, really caught the swing of the song and at the same time made it your own,. The song suits being stripped back and with a full accompaniment ad your version grabbed me. I will be exploring your other Videos, keep up the excellent work.
Jerri Graham ....Why you cry ? Someone die ? Don't forget that the mighty Van the Man is anti mask and anti lockdown ...All those brilliant songs but no conviction behind them
The Van Morrison version of this has always been my favourite song.... But where have you been hiding.... Beautiful rich, delicious, earthy tones.... Omg!!! So so glad this popped up on my list.... Why have I never heard this before... Stunning! Absolutely amazing xxxx
DAMN!! The tone and control of your voice is incredible man! Singer songwriters are a dying breed but you give people hope that one day autotune will be a thing of the past and real talent will again be appreciated. Great job!
Just an open mic, an acoustic guitar, a great tune, and a wonderful mello voice. What more is needed? One of my all time favorites tunes, love Van Morrison.
Wasn't sure what to expect when this came up in my search. I was looking for a cover of "Into the Mystic" where you could hear more of the guitar part. Wow...I absolutely love your voice! Blown away.
Have you ever been to Nashville there's guys with talent as big as Jays and then some and most if them are stacking shelves at Cosco to pay the bills, doing open mics at night and if there really lucky ( as well as extremely talented) they may get a spot playing for tips at one of the many live music venues in music city.
I've been a fan of Van Morrison for a long, long time, and Into the Mystic is my favorite song by him. I was actually hesitant to click play on this because most people who try to cover it mess it up in one way or another, but I'm glad I listened. Nobody has Van Morrison's voice, but nobody has yours either. Van would be proud. Loved it Fantastic job!
I was born and raised in the North back in the 70s and 80s. Van was the man. I never understood it till I was in my 30s. This song is decades old, and if it was released today, it would make sense. Awesome version.
I hunt all over to find someone special that intrigues and inspires me,,,,,,Like a guy with a metal detector scanning the beaches,,,,This was a great find Thanks
I could practice this for a bit and get the same sound out of my guitar ... I could practice this every day for the rest of my life and never get the same sound out of my voice. That's talent. Sounds great.
If your gonna do a cover make sure you play that git and use more then the 2or3 chords that you used..idc if others are giving you kisses and any musician will notice the lack of chords played. We want the young ones watching to not cheat and take the easy route. My opinion only but a classic deserves the totality of the song played right!
@@timmywager9818 Right. Your opinion only. Many songs will be kept alive by simplicity. I am not a great lead guitarist, but I can play many songs without getting complicated. When you listen to a song for free, you ain’t got much room to complain
@@timmywager9818 What you want to throw a musical technical penalty flag on I could do with your use of spelling, grammar, and punctuation. This guy is not out to be the next Van Morrison or kick your ass on American Idol. This is someone like one of my kids who simply embraces a lot of classic artists and songs like this written long before they may have even been born and likes to share it with new audiences. I think Van would be okay with that if it's not stealing from him and helps sell the original and other recordings.
I don’t know why or how the UA-cam algorithm sent this to me, but I’m glad they did. If I could sing like that I would never speak again. Every thing would be a song. Wow. Just wow! 🎼❤️ 🎶 🎸❤️❤️❤️
Jay. I was afraid to listen because of my love of this song by Van (and the memories it evokes for me and my wonderful husband). And, like so many here, I’m a Van Fan. You slayed it. Best . Color me a huge Jay Fan.
@@JayFlemingMusic Bill Withers? Oh definitely “Use Me”. 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦 You, my friend, have an amazing talent. Hope things open up for you to get out and showcase some of it when bars and restaurants are in full swing.
Jay, great interpretation of this marvelous tune. I have a great Van Morrison story for you. I lived in Marin County in the early 1970's. There was a great club in San Anselmo called The Lion's Share. They had the usual known headliners on the weekends, but on week nights you could get in for a dollar and a half for amateur nights. The club was half-filled one Tuesday night, and the various singer-songwriters were doing a fine job. After this one act finished, the club owner went to the mic and said "Van just called, he'd like to drop by and work on a few songs, is that all right?" Cheers, of course. Van showed up with three pieces and did two hours of those Astral Weeks themed tunes he did back then. The audience was just amazed and grateful. A little week-night surprise. Thank you for your music. = Jonathan =
My Van story, working in Copenhagen while he lived there. Listening to a casette of his music as I drove across some of the parkland, but started getting a stupid echo. I fiddled, turned the casette off, and the music continued. He was giving a free concert over to my right in the park.
@@hjonm9730 I grew up just round the corner from Van, and I am sure we listened to him and one of his early groups playing at seaside resorts. I think post-them and to Veedon Fleece, he was at his purist and most transformative. I fear - after that - I only see a loss of the purity, occasionally re-emerging.

Rob, Thanks for sharing such a wonderful memory. Have an extraordinary day.
I danced with my dad to Butterfly Kisses, but I played this song at his memorial. It just spoke to me and our connection. Beautiful memory
That's so lovely. Peace Love & Light

Jay, great interpretation of this marvelous tune. I have a great Van Morrison story for you. I lived in Marin County in the early 1970's. There was a great club in San Anselmo called The Lion's Share. They had the usual known headliners on the weekends, but on week nights you could get in for a dollar and a half for amateur nights. The club was half-filled one Tuesday night, and the various singer-songwriters were doing a fine job. After this one act finished, the club owner went to the mic and said "Van just called, he'd like to drop by and work on a few songs, is that all right?" Cheers, of course.

My Van story, working in Copenhagen while he lived there. Listening to a casette of his music as I drove across some of the parkland, but started getting a stupid echo. I fiddled, turned the casette off, and the music continued. He was giving a free concert over to my right
in the park.
@@davidpatterson3475 Wow. Very nice. From these experiences we can conclude that Van generates a lot of amazing moments just by general vibratism.
@@hjonm9730 I grew up just round the corner from Van, and I am sure we listened to him and one of his early groups playing at seaside resorts.

Nice nice nice job. Everyone wants to scream the vocals-I want to rock your gypsy soul. Van doesn’t and you didn’t either. Nailed it.
