    This is my “Tupelo Honey” story…my wife’s father had died back in 2016. My wife and I were going here/there. Had to get things done. Inform people. My wife was holding up as the super trooper she is. While we were running around on the H1 (Oahu, HI)…”Tupelo Honey” came on and as I kept driving…I noticed my wife was in tears and said “I lost my dad”. I immediately pulled over held my wife and we just cried together.
    During that moment that I kept thinking how strong my wife was holding up…I realized my wife was just a human being and that we all have the right to be fragile…even if just for a moment…and that it would all be OK.
    Every time this song comes on my playlist…I think back to this day. Think bout my wife. I then get teary eyed. I love “Tupelo Honey” so very much.
    Love this song because of how it makes me feel. Appreciate you guys giving this an ear.
    All-time favorite song of mine.
    Thanks guys 💜🤙🏽

    Van always sings it like he's wrenching his soul of out every note. He's legendary in rock for being a grumpy bastard, but it all melts away when he sings.

    Another great Van duet is with the amazing Cliff Richard doing Whenever God Shines His Light. Van has an extremely spiritual side and often includes songs that reflect this. He did an entire album called Hymns To The Silence which will touch whether you are religious or not.

    Trivia: Supposedly honey made from nectar of the tupelo tree (i.e. tupelo honey) will never crystallize on the shelf. It is sweet and flowing forever.

  • @sourisvoleur4854
    @sourisvoleur4854 2 роки тому +8

    Fun fact: Tupelo honey is a real kind of honey, with the distinction that it never crystallizes. (I think this is true of all tree-based honeys.) It is sometimes sold in long-necked bottles, which "normal" honey never could be, because normal honey goes solid. So she's not just sweet, she is always soft and flexible.

    • @jollyrodgers7272
      @jollyrodgers7272 2 роки тому +1

      But the entire song is a euphemism for FREEDOM. Why can't you look at the lyrics and see that he (as most Scots and Irish) values Freedom as the sweetest thing on God's green Earth. Yes , Tupelo Honey is very sweet - but he song is not about Honey - rather it's about something AS sweet as Tupelo Honey! He uses the pronoun 'she' for Freedom, not Elvis' hometown. Men with insight, men in granite, men in armour intent on chivalry. He's singing about being on this road to Freedom, and how sweet it is.

    I recommend you check out Van's incredible song "T.B. Sheets." It's a powerful and devastating song that takes place in a room where a young girl lies dying of tuberculosis and the overwhelming pain and guilt he feels while visiting her. Apparently, after the song was recorded, the rest of the session had to be cancelled because Van broke down in tears.

    The Belfast Cowboy!!! Van the Man's been a favorite since the late 60's/early 70's for me. I grew up listening to him. The movie "Belfast" soundtrack is almost totally Van's songs. Sometimes, it was hard to keep from singing along during the movie. I was so pleased Kenneth Branagh chose his music.

    Classic Song. Fun Fact: The Pedal Steel Guitar on "Tupelo Honey" was played by John McFee. John joined up with the Doobie Brothers in 1979. John is a talented multi instrumentalist - Guitar, Pedal Steel, Dobro, Banjo, Mandolin, Violin, Cello and harmonica and also sings backup / harmony vocals. All the good musicians play with other good musicians whenever they can. Keep Smiling - 🎸😎
