"The child has grown. The dream is gone." (OK, time to kill him)

[@naldino1]

I first heard this version in 2009, while on a converted rice boat, cruising through the backwaters of Kerala, India. We had anchored for the evening, in a remote section, in the middle of the rice fields, no roads, only paths, that locals were walking back home after spending the day working the fields. My sister-in-law had this on her MP3 player hooked up to the decent sound system on the boat. It was dusk, quiet except for this song, with Van's voice dominating the moment. The local Indian people, who really couldn't understand the words, all stopped listening to this incredible song, and by the end, the crowd was over 50 people, in their dhotis, just mesmerized. The universal language of music, breaking all cultural and language barriers, a truly magical moment in my life.

Don`t know where you got that from because he is an absolute twat I believe...I knew a private jet pilot who flew him, and he was very aloof, and the crew were told not to ask for an autograph before he boarded, and during the concert which he got to watch, Van Morrison stopped mid song to show berate a band member over the mic who played a section of the song wrong...That is not class, thats a horrible person. I know the pilot well, and there is no doubt I beleive him. He also said Elton John was a horible and abusive gobshite who nearly didn`t get into Switzerland as he refused to be searched by airport staff..untill he was told you get searched or you can leave..

After It was all over I heard this song and took the lyrics as my own... "There is no pain you are receding" She was no longer here to hurt me. "A distant ship smoke on the horizon" The obsession I had for her was finally leaving. "You are only coming through in waves" The times I missed her were few and far in between. "Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying" When she would ask me to work things out, I no longer wanted to hear it. If im not mistaken, this song is about drugs.

Anybody else listening during pandemic? I also heard this version on The Departed and I would say most definetley the best. Theres just something about his voice.

[@patrickdray2555]

thank you, I was wondering where I heard this version from, and It was bugging me, and was not even looking for it in the comments, and yes I'm listening to this during the pandemic

[@melissamoore521]

Van, 'The Prophet Speaks,' has the vision of angels and a voice that is the Trumpet of God.

[@dynjarren8355]

Brilliant live version with the legendary Van Morrison on the vocals. I got a thrill when he started singing the verse. It fit him like a glove! 👏🏻🎸😎

[@michaelallgood5868]

Simply magical. Could listen this on repeat.

[@TheCrazyDooshbag]

One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.

[@01What10]

One night back in 2004, my friends and I did a bunch of shrooms and we put Comfortably Numb on a loop and blasted it through the house all night long. It was a fucking amazing experience. We all bonded and for a time, lived in another reality. I'll never forget it.

15 November 24...Just saw The Departed for the first time. Love the music soundtrack. Love this. Love Van Morrison. Love Belfast. X

[@nushooz6731]

Wow, thats got to be the most powerfull song I has ever heard in my 50 years on this earth

[@MisterMcKinney]

Van is the Man!!

[@sambrowne694]

That little Irishman does this the best...gets tight into it...as if it was written for him....this song has a meaning for the ones that have lived life to the fullest and loved life....thank you mr Morrison...blow them away

Magistrale concerto a Berlino,cantante bravissimo ,ma l'assolo eseguito dai due chitarristi e stato stratosferico da urlo!magistrale Roger organizzare uno spettacolo del genere,la più grande cover del brano.ho il DVD del concerto e l'avrò visto centinaia di volte immergendomi totalmente nel concerto e negli assoli strepitosi extraterrestri.

[@anthonykilgannon3443]

They used this version on the movie the departed. Just amazing.every musician, vocalist complimenting each other.

[@stinkybunter]

if i could go to one concert ever in history, this would be it.

[@somenobody8599]

Man the drums in this are incredible. RIP Christopher.

[@nataslives8129]

I remember the day this was live so much joy it was tear jerking but when Van sang this i could not believe the emotion it stirred in everyone all this time on every time I hear its always the same goose bumps & chilling & WOW beyond words

[@Bits_N_Pixels]

My head will explode every time I see this, my soul will always rejoice!

[@fposhaughnessy]

Good God, what a version.

[@andyzedd3236]

One of the greatest collaborations of all time

[@jdbigsky]

Already a beautiful song. Made a masterpiece by Van Morrison

[@enderman1550]

That Van Morrison voice and those solos add a whole new great dimension to an already killer song

[@larrytownley9028]

normally don't like covers or remixes, but this too bad ass and is my favorite version of this song VAN=GENIUS

[@TheLastSecretGarden]

What a truly incredible performance. Van's version of the vocals are how I always sing it. Perfection.

[@jcdova29]

Van Morrison takes this song to a higher level. His powerful and soulful voice gave me chills. Everyone performed this song outstanding. The guitar solos and the orchestra. Roger Waters threw the kitchen sink at this concert. My all time favorite concert.

[@andreaohara3402]

jc dova for sure.. It was a great choice from Roger Waters. He's just so good!!

[@jcdova29]

@@andreaohara3402 Yes absolutely. This song was not the same after Mr. Morrison’s cover. No other version measures up.

[@galacticguardian2783]

I still prefer the more haunting original

[@godfather4377]

@@galacticguardian2783 I love them both honestly. I just don't know why people come here and seriously try, with a straight face, to critique Van's singing. LOL.. That's like trying to critique if Michael Jordan is good at basketball.

[@wildwit]

Snowy White on guitar is really excellent; he is a very underrated guitarist. He wrote some incredible songs, listen to his solo work...

[@daniloa3173]

+wildwit What's his name????

[@wildwit]

Terence Charles White

[@thenotoriouspotatopeeler8005]

He's the greatest guitarist ever in my opinion. I love all his work with Roger in the 'In The Flesh' tour and his performances in The Wall tour. After seeing the wall myself in Italy, and watching and listening to his many solos in the In The Flesh concert, I've tried to copy his style in my guitar playing but he's just too good. Maybe it's his 1957 Les Paul gold top that helps him!

[@zwoof9311]

And also Snowy White work in Wish You Were Here

[@cleawox]

Too fast and spiky here. This songs needs grace. He doesn't play what Gilmour doesn't play...

[@miket9921]

Embarrassed to admit that I was never aware of this version until watching The Departed. It's now one of my favorite performances of any song...ever. Man, I missed many years of enjoying this.

[@martinmcdonald4207]

Catch up time....never too late. Enjoy.

[@juliabbott55]

Mike T with you

[@Shahriarbd78]

with you

[@devonc.5114]

Too funny Mike, same for me but it is3 years after you came upon it I did the same. At first, during the movie when it came up, I had to pause it and go to imdb and find out who was singing this, as I knew it couldn't be Pink Floyd unless this was a remake or concert at a later time. I like this version better, (not knockin' Pink Floyd's recording).

[@williambrown6721]

For those who aren't with us anymore GOD BLESS and God Speed!!.. icons of the past! But their memories will always live on....

[@denniscassley2569]

THANK YOU, VAN MORRISON, for showing all the "wannabe's" how to do it!!!!

[@tonycairns6728]

This is a beautiful song, and Morrison's voice is incredible.

[@Divocwax]

Morrison's vocal is under-amplified to an embarrassing degree.

[@daveshaw5293]

I lived and worked in Germany 🇩🇪 back then and a massive floyd fan and id say i prefer van Morrisons vocals to the floyd version its absolutely beautifully song with more feelings and passion ❤

[@lisadavie5282]

The power of music and this specific version. It is it's own version the horns, and the drums have a pregnant pause that just takes it to a higher level. I love seeing Levon and Danko with Van The Man 🙏💃
