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.

[@pigjubby1]

Great testimony. I hope you are still well.

[@harrybosch4765]

I felt your pain too! I hope your gypsy soul is still with us😎

[@ritamachia3354]

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!

[@najmu49]

Rock our gypsy souls, together we will flow into the mystic. Great rendition. Thanks for sharing

[@pmoosedak]

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

[@jasonphares9043]

I love this rendition.

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

@@jasonphares9043 THANKS

[@LUVDATTUNE]

This version has so much soul. It should have 1 million hits!

[@ichthus1890]

A stark, gentle flowing performance with your husband and the band. Brilliant Jen; you did Van and your dad proud.

[@pmoosedak]

so very kind of you to say. Thank you!

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

WOW!!!!!!!!

[@drmarr62]

What a awesome voice ,, I could listen forever and a day, just posted on my face book i found a new favorite female vocalist !!!!!!!! Your awesome Jen !!!

[@kerriar]

The genius of Van Morrison will be with us for ever.

[@barrykistler800]

I'm old enough to remember when this song came out. I liked Van Morrison's version but I like this version even better. Well done!

[@larrycarr9171]

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]

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 KZbin, with timeless love from the suburbs of the US. PS. Imperialism sucks. Love is the answer.

[@ulrichzimmermann8272]

Great song - fantastic version! 👏

[@Lore3440]

You wouldn't believe how long it took to find this version, heard it on Defiance season 1 epi 8 and fell in love with it.

[@pmoosedak]

thanks for your tenacity! So you know, the studio version is on itunes, etc., released as Jen Chapin & Rosetta Trio on the CD/DVD "Light of Mine"

[@JBCo2012]

+Jen Chapin Jen I love the way you personally interact with your fans in such a friendly intimate way. That shows REAL CLASS! Kind of how Harry was. Keep on smiling!

[@silentterrorhawk]

Lore3440 iv just spent an hour looking for it, and for the same reason lol

[@chrisjamesau]

Very rarely do I ever prefer a cover to the original, or post a comment on youtube. Here is both. xo Amazing & beautiful.

[@JBCo2012]

Chris, Jen is good no question and a fine band to boot but NOBODY does a Van the Man song like Van. NOBODY can even come close!

[@WarOnTime]

So much better then my cover... I cant compete w/ that voice and a stand-up bass. Bravo

[@ancestralyuba]

Best cover of that song I've ever heard.

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!!!

When you were a toddler, I wrote you a song. You sometimes sat next to me on the piano bench in your home. I haven't thought about that melody in a very long time. Beautiful performance. Wow. Little Jenny all grown up. ❤️

[@davidziegler6782]

Omg, that was beautiful.

[@1Stanley1946]

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...

[@pmoosedak]

thanks Stanley! So glad you liked it, despite the lack of horns!

[@kamakaokalani7056]

Pure Enchantment .... Voice " As Sweet As Tupelo Honey " .... I'm Certain that Van Is Happy With This Cover .... You've Made It "Your Very Own" Here ... Good On Ya' !!!

[@CarinasMusic]

We need mysticism today more than ever ❤️gorgeous music

[@raizasardinha_]

great song...great singer...great musicians!!

[@davidchen7001]

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.

[@KJ6]

This track gave me goosebumps when I heard it at the end of defiance.

[@michaellucas6729]

Miss Chapin, this is the best rendition of Into The Mystic (Van Morrison) that I ever had the pleaseure of hearing. Thank you for your contribution to the art!!!

[@pooperpuppie1]

My talent lies in exposing talentlessness my dear friend. Unfortunately not every one has a talent for assessing talent so accurately.

[@Laketomp]

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 :-)
