Van Morrison - Ancient Highway (REACTION)

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

I always feel like I've just been to the most amazing church when I listen to this beautiful man.

[@RMcGivern]

“In East Belfast where Georgie knows best, what’s it like to be Daniel in the lions den; got so many friends only most of the time”. Vans clever play on words - George Best was one of the greatest soccer players in the world at the time (even Pele rated him as one of the greatest) he was from same part of Belfast as Van and sadly drank himself to death. Couldn’t deal with Fame Deep song - made me chuckle when you said he needed a nap after this one - it’s said that he would be exhausted sometimes after recording a song like this - great reaction as always 👍👏

[@CANEsPappa]

Beautiful song, sung with passion by one of the all time bests.

[@ML-un1oi]

Van has a unique voice and is a fabulous lyricist! Excellent reaction, fellas!!

[@babylonsister118]

He is such a genius! I love this song!

[@dianel222]

His easily identifiable voice and genius songwriting soothes a weary mind. 💜💜💜

[@gregorysheppard2174]

Very good great way to start Monday morning keep up the great work awesome job

[@brianfiori4086]

Many of Van's songs (his best?) create a trance-like mood. His amazing voice, just another instrument, floating in an out of the incredible mix of the sounds of the other instruments. While his lyrics can play a huge part of the song, they aren't always necessary for me to understand in order to completely get wrapped up in the music.

Van the Man

[@got2soar]

Anytime y'all wanna serve up some Van Morrison I am gonna smash the like button. Every album, front to back, is a smile factory.

[@jeremiahallender1919]

Ah yeah !❤more van yay !!😎✌️❤️👍🏽good album

[@briangray00]

What a gorgeous noise that is.

[@thorzzz1z]

Van The Man!

[@richardhatter3624]

Thank you for the Van guys! Please guys do an early Van Morrison called TB Sheets. It's about a young man trying to deal with his girlfriend dying of tuberculosis. It's Van's raw emotions on display, it's epic...

[@christopherhuot2826]

Van could sing the menu at Olive Garden and it would sound awesome 👌 😅

[@SamuelGriffin]

Van is genius.

[@mamaflush9945]

Hello La & Che, I thought I'd suggest a couple more songs by "Van the Man", if interested. 1st the title track is fire ❤‍🔥 "Van Morrison - Days Like This (Official Video) [VEVO]" (by the channel: Van Morrison) --This song is from Morrison's twenty third studio album released in 1995. and the 2nd) "Van Morrison - Wild Night" (by the channel: Van Morrison) --this song was written and released as an opening track from Morrison's fifth studio album called "Tupelo Honey." And as always, I enjoyed rocking with you two. And Thanks for sharing. peace out~

[@TeresaMount-t9o]

Very nice soothing song, thanks guys.

[@jamiepaquin]

Nice to see you digging into his discography between the usual few, old tunes. I think he's gotten better with age. Hope you keep exploring his work of the last 2 decades.

[@ReJoyce456]

✨Van be Takin’ Me to Church in a Van❕✨💖🎶🕊✨

[@janetphillips2152]

This is sublime

[@membysteph64]

Outstanding reaction to a true legend. Van is one of a kind. Keep up the great work La/Che. Black Pumas Black Pumas Black Pumas come on guys it’s a really great soulful song by a newer band….

[@CoolCoyote]

deep

[@garyrausch1184]

I've always thought that Van Morrison was the jazzist rock musician from the 70s onward

[@willowvee5844]

You guys do philosophy and music! Hah! Love some Van for all the gifts his music brings.

[@lyallbenjamin1045]

Listen to the lion (double live album "too late to stop now"), you dont push the river (on veedon fleece),Summertime in england ( album common one). Please.

[@markolarabie6685]

Please please please...do Wild Night from Van...please.

[@stumblinharris2219]

Please check out the studio version of Summertime in England some time. 15 minutes of incredible singing, playing, producing and arranging.

[@CANEsPappa]

Should do the title track too….another great one!

[@1957PLATO]

If you want to forget your troubles, put Van on and shut the world out.

[@Jan-xn3kz]

I’m not a believer but listening to Van always hits that spiritual otherworldly spot. Try “No Guru, No Method, No Teacher”.

[@lanaj1107]

That whole album is 5 stars.

[@boulonoir8011]

Beautiful! Nice to see I'm not the only guy bobbing my dome. 68!!! My favorite Van song since it came out in 1995. Were you born?

[@VincentAgostino-gy6hr]

No flute anywhere on the album.. There is an oboe and some flugelhorn although it doesn’t specify which tracks.. That’s his daughter singing backup at the end of the song… That’s a great track.. I’ve never heard it before…

[@matzabean]

Sounds like a penny whistle commenting throughout the track. There’s flugelhorn at the top, for sure.

[@strqrt70]

Pretty sure it’s a recorder. Actually, I’m pretty positive.

[@AirplayBeats]

Whatever it is, it sounds pretty dam good!

[@RobRager]

@@strqrt70 Yes, that’s what recorder sounds like, when being played better than my fifth grade class did!

[@JeffSchreiber99]

Actually that’s not Shana singing back up. It’s Brian Kennedy, a long time collaborator.

[@827dusty]

This is the Christian Van Morrison singing. Beautiful. Praise Christ the Lord.

[@jennyclark5232]

I think you'll find what sounds like a flute is a recorder, there is also an oboe played on this.

[@bafireman101]

Tb sheets !!!

[@matzabean]

Such a killer track. Beautiful and devastating.

[@danw2276]

I as a kid I thought Van was a black man. Mom played the heck out of him growing up starting my love for him. So soulful and honest and I was floored to find out he's white and with red hair. only other mistake was with Stevie Ray Vaughn, who I thought was also black. They are(were)the darkest white guys in music

[@JeffSchreiber99]

Gregg Allman also. I played One Way Out for some soul sisters working at the Post Office. When I told them the singer was a white boy from Macon, they screamed “No Way!”

[@susiedawson3349]

A great Van song is Wavelength.

[@ajmackin]

Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue

[@mrysedeers]

Try 'Philosopher's Stone' ...Brilliant...just saying:)

[@inmyhouse11]

Love that Baseballism tee.

[@jimmyjohn2815]

👍

[@mottjones2876]

This was a new Van song for me. Started out thinking it wasn’t one of his best, but it grew on me greatly by the end. Still think he might have John Lee Hookered a bit too much towards the end. 😉

[@annbeguity5932]

I *think* the horn coming in at the very end may have been an oboe … but don’t hold me to that 🤓 Also heard some harmonica.

[@AirplayBeats]

Lots of good instruments flowing through this one
