    This song has a lot of deeper meaning for me. Years back I was was fighting stage 4 cancer and given a year. I was so very weak at the time as I could not stand longer than 5 minutes and set on a bench while my wife went to get the car. As I waited I felt beaten and used up by the very thing killing me and so I found myself looking at the sky wondering if I should just stop fighting it and what I would find when it had finished with me... now mind you to the the best of my memory I had not heard this song in 20+ years but as I looked up at those clouds that moment wondering what next I began hearing that song so clearly and with it came a feeling of calm. As the despair had left me I knew at that moment no matter if I lost or won the fight everything thing would be OK. I made it to remission and it has been 11 years now. Thanks for letting me share.

    I was really pleased to find Harry had such a talented daughter. I've been a huge Harry Chapin fan for so many years. Was fortunate enough to see him twice. Your rendition of this masterpiece is so good. Thank you!

    I'm pretty sure they found me via this live version, but in the show they used the studio version from my CD/DVD "Light of Mine," -- pretty much the same, if tighter, and with an additional guitarist Liberty Ellman adding that much more mojo.. Thanks for checking it out! -- Jen

    Gosh, this brought me to tears. Harry's song, Cats in the Cradle is my song that I share with my own son. When I heard your version of this (on Defiance), I was so moved. Imagine my joy when I found out that it was you. Simply beautiful and haunting.

  • @publicssoss
    @publicssoss 16 років тому +1

    Beautiful. Love Van and Harry.
    Never heard of Jen till now. Going to search for more Jen and Harry Chapin stuff.
    Loving life and music these days. This morning I listended to Chapin, Stevie Wonder, George Michael, Ray Charles, The Nobs (haha, classic), Billy Joel, Van the Man, prolly a few more I don't remember.
    Thanks Jen and UA-cam, with timeless love from the suburbs of the US.
    PS. Imperialism sucks. Love is the answer.

    I saw an exceptionally twinkly star tonight....I think it was Harry's eye. I enjoy your ENTIRE family's talent. Your Dad was my FAVORITE since I was a young child. Have met your Uncle a few times and he lights up a room with his infectious smile. If it weren't for a bad storm I was going to see you in Madison, WI. Please come to Wisconsin again!!!

    Had to comment on this beautiful touching song which never fails to lift my spirits when I hear it (love how Van and this version hit the high notes so flawlessly) and, more importantly, as one reviewer commented , about how Mr. Van Morrison’s music is able to make one forget for the moment our troubles and in its place find temporal joy for not only his music but life itself.

  • @1Stanley1946
    @1Stanley1946 10 років тому +1

    I heard a band cover 'Into The Mystic' on the 4th, they had a horn section that added a lot to this tune, as I searched for similar covers I came across Jen's, very nice song for her lovely voice. Such a great job, I am lost for words...

    Life is so hectic, there is always a rush to do things, to go places and it can be encompassing, wholly. Every now and then, once in a blue-red-and yellow moon, you run across a song that says its okay to stop. . . and take a breath.
    Sometimes the song insists that you do so.
    Your version is a song that says, Take a Breath----breath deep, all the way to your toes. Breath until your toes are refreshed---its okay.
    With a misty eye I say thank you for your version, GOOD JOB :-)
