I heard thus song on Happy’s place. I haven’t heard this song for a long time.

Loreena , restera unique de ses émotions , là où plane des souvenirs , le coeur à ses raisons que la raison na pas !

Songwriting at its best ❤

''Poetic Champions Of Old'' Look in the mirror, Van Morrison.

İlk dinlediğimde eskileri hatirlamistim. Muhtemelen 18 yaşından küçük olduğum zamanlardı. Şimdi ise ilk dinledigim zamanları hatırlıyorum. Daha önce dinlemiş olsam muhtemelen yine o günden daha öncesini hatırlayacaktım. Belkide insanın yapısı gereği hep daha öncesini hatırlama, özleme isteği var.

I missed my husband so much when I listen this song. He said I am Queen of slipstream.

I recall Bondissey's Dynpna.

Like to thank the military industrial complex. Destroyed my father. He inturn destroyed my 3 younger brothers all dead in there early 40s. And on the way I lose 2 wives 1 at 30 then again at 50.. What a broken life. Really miss the. Wife I lost at 30

Reminds me of a gentle giant. A man who was only a child. But he grew up so fast that day he found me abandoned in life when I was only a child myself! God sends us who we need when we need someone the most. It's been 40 + years now! And he is still one of my best friends in this ol world! Joe you will always be the best friend I ever found and loved in this whole world! ❤️💙 BITTER SWEET 💔❤️ MUCH LOVE ALWAYS FOREVER AND A DAY INFINITY 💝

Good song!

Van the man. He is the man of music. Unsurpassed.

Suffered many losses this year including my father,the lyrics totally resonate with me. Algorithm brought me here. First time hearing this 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

They walk with us forever, in every breath we take. Such pain and longing in these comments. May you be held in the palm of the hands of G-d, family, friends, faith and community.

Your poetry and music clips speak to the heart and soul

My mom passed in April. This was one of her favorite songs and I still can’t listen to it. We didn’t have a very good relationship. I wish that things would’ve gotten better before I got Cancer so I would’ve been able to spend some time with her before she died, and now I don’t have that chance don’t let your anger Get in the way of your relationship with someone that you love because when they go, you won’t see them again until you go. I regret not going and spending more time with my mom. She died of cancer she was a four-time cancer survivor and I have two years cancer free. I did go say goodbye to her the day before she passed.

The remarkable thing is this isn't just one of a few masterpieces by Van, there's hundreds..

Una bonita plegaria a aquellos que no están en el mundo terrenal, pero que se sienten en el corazón... nos protegen des del más allá

Thanks! One of Van's many beautiful love songs--it just exudes Joy, Love and Freedom! Paul Du Noyer wrote, "Sweet Thing puts the singer in a hazy, pastoral paradise where he wanders in gardens wet with rain, or counts the stars in his lover’s eyes, and vows to never grow so old again or read between the lines. He pleads with his mind to keep quiet, so his heart can hear itself think. He yearns to obliterate experience and rediscover innocence." And I will stroll the merry way And jump the hedges first And I will drink the clear Clean water for to quench my thirst And I shall watch the ferry-boats And they'll get high On a bluer ocean Against tomorrow's sky And I will never grow so old again And I will walk and talk In gardens all wet with rain Oh sweet thing, sweet thing My, my, my, my, my sweet thing And I shall drive my chariot Down your streets and cry Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite And I don't know why' And you shall take me strongly In your arms again And I will not remember That I even felt the pain. We shall walk and talk In gardens all misty and wet with rain And I will never, never, never Grow so old again. Oh sweet thing, sweet thing My, my, my, my, my sweet thing And I will raise my hand up Into the night time sky And count the stars That's shining in your eye Just to dig it all an' not to wonder That's just fine And I'll be satisfied Not to read in between the lines And I will walk and talk In gardens all wet with rain And I will never, ever, ever, ever Grow so old again. Oh sweet thing, sweet thing Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes And your saint-like smile

One of my dads favourites songs, he wanted this as his funeral song for my mom. She was always his queen! He died at 58 8 years ago but not a day goes by where I don’t think about him… I know he’s now looking down in helping my daughter try and beat her cancer which she has been fighting for over 3 and half years! I have to come back to this song when I think all is lost. ❤

Great song.....heard it 30 years ago and wasn't new then!. On A Chieftans CD

🕊🥀💔🥀🕊

Thanks for the beautiful pictures you have presented with this powerful song. I love his message. Jackson is a beautiful rebel troubadour.❤❤❤

From Cameron Crowes Fast Times at Ridgemont High! ❤😁

I was brought here by a sort of dumb show "Happy's Place" and remembered how much I love this song. It always makes me smile

I played as a child (60’s and 70’s) on the old Hopewell Furnace (the one on Yellow Creek, the Heaton Boys built). I left in the early 80’s and just returned in 2016. This song haunted me from the time it came out. And so I returned to Here in “Struthers” (south side of Youngstown). It is nice to be home. We walk now clear out to the Hopewell. The hillside is still covered in slag and ore. We take the dog down to run where the mills once lined the Mahoning River. You can kayak and fish on the river now, but it is true, a clean Youngstown is a struggling Youngstown. It will come back with more time. Lots of young people here who are still strong as steel.

Dante's Prayer by Loreena McKennit. Lyrics:When the dark wood fell before me And all the paths were overgrown When the priests of pride say there is no other way I tilled the sorrows of stone I did not believe because I could not see Though you came to me in the night When the dawn seemed forever lost You showed me your love in the light of the stars Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Then the mountain rose before me By the deep well of desire From the fountain of forgiveness Beyond the ice and fire Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Though we share this humble path, alone How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Please remember me

I would of said van is singing god being so spiritual

sublime, infinita! non so dire altro.

bin manisch depprie und meine richtige deppriephase hab höre ich dieses lied an stell mir vor bin den higthlands mit mein hund welche schlachten ich im leben schon geschlagen hab und dann hoffe es wird das nächste mal wird besser dieses lied gibt mir kraft durchzuhalten

Intellect is worthless now.

I. Had this album. I saw. mMADD DOGSS AND ENGLISHMEN AT WINTERLAND.1970. SAN FRANCISCO,First time I saw Van sing. JOE COCKER AMAZING AND.......... LEON RUSSELL, MONUMENT MOMENT!

The song in folks so much emotion. It's so beautiful and poignant. Loreena McKennitt is a musical genius. . May God be with us all. In whatever form. ❤

“Rich enough to forget my name “ damn all those who have done this to hard working folks. may your name and any accomplishments be dust in the wind, you won’t be missed on any time line for you were made on the backs of others and they are the ones who are missed.

Most Beautiful. Thank you

I live about 30 minutes from Youngstown, 60 minutes from Pittsburgh. This song breaks me every time. My father, brothers and husband worked the mills and the factories they supplied for many years. My sons lives have gone in different directions, and in a way i am happy they never had to fire the furnaces like their ancestors; but the loss of so many jobs decimated our area as it did so many others.

dedicado a mi madre q murió el 20 de octubre....una gran mujer fuerte y luchadora....te quiero mama

❤😊❤😊❤ 😢

Oh I didn’t know what i was getting myself into but am at a loss for words.

..sad this song was not on the radio in 1970.... .things may be different now.... i so wish....

Which app did you use to make this lyric video?

To me,this great song is very ambiguous....is it praise or a criticism of organised religion?

E l ascolto ti rende capace di librarti verso qualcosa che è sopra tutto. E i pensieri si alleviano e ti senti proiettata verso quello infinito mare che tutto addolcisce. Musica parole e voce sublimi......❤❤❤

Merci beaucoup ma famille d acceil d Hyères d me montrer ça et s il vous plaît les francophones excusez ma pour mes fautes que je fais encore en français - merci à vous pour d être la pour moi... - gracia la vida 2003?

Non ha più senso la tua curiosità

Awesome Song
