Van Morrison - Every Time I See A River

[@lucillehein]

No matter whether a person is famous or not, the important thing is they have a salvation. Van has music in his heart.

[@sail49525]

What would my world be without Van? Empty. He's been with me my whole life, 59 years of it... Love you my friend..

[@TheSimpson1953]

Van touches my soul, his words, his music just magical. Can't get enough of his beautiful lyrics.

[@MrCretemaniam]

Van always blows my mind. All my life. My woman of 40 years had to show me this song and I couldn't believe it ! No she's not 40 years old we have known each other for 40 years. We are in our 60s. Whatever. Peace to all and good night

Thank you, Van

[@pamelamacneil1331]

I love this man! I have been listening to him for almost 50 yrs.and in his 70's he can still stop me in my tracks. A beautiful song that fits him like a glove. We are very, very lucky to have him in our lives.

[@stevejobe9888]

I could not agree with you more; he’s been one of my all-time favorites since the late 60’s. I first him on a transistor radio!!!😂

[@pamelamacneil1331]

@@stevejobe9888 Ah yes, the transistor radio. Especially in the summer I carried it everywhere I went. A Young teenager listening to some of the greatest music ever made, music not created before, nor since.We were such a lucky generation, especially when it came to music. And I can't believe I'm still listening, including live. Go Well!

[@jeanleemilller4806]

I love his affinity for water. Rivers, streams and painful hearts. He and his backup musicians are always perfection.

[@donweimer9264]

He doesn't have backup musicians. He has masters of their Art, be they instrumentalists or vocalists, who beautifully accompany him on the journey!

[@tsump2005]

Van is truly one of a kind that only passes this way once. BEAUTIFUL MUSIC

VM’s vocals have always been the lead that the his extraordinary band to support.

[@kelderecgraugnom8201]

Sir Van Morrison, one of the greatest and my very favorite musician. Nothing more to say.

[@pamelamacneil1331]

When he sings, "I just can't stand the pain" his voice makes his words sound so moving.

[@tageschance5501]

Thaaaaaaaaannk youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu❤

[@ednasoaresbrasil3040]

This song awakens such a good feeling, of tenderness and peace of the beauty of love. The power that music has to transform us, to calm the spirit, is unparalleled. It's been really good to hear her again. Thank you Van for being the messenger.👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍❤

[@marybrewer2203]

I will keep you singing . Each morning, as I say my prayers, and think about the coming day, and open up my mind to what I hear God telling me, I listen to whatever song of yours pops up on my feed that particular morning. It doesn't necessarily matter what he was saying or not saying to you when you wrote the words. They become a vehicle for me to hear the truth he's telling me that day. Life is odd like this, and mysteriously joyful. I am so thankful he has created us.

[@ExtraPencil2]

"Every time I see a river, every time I hear a train, every time I hear a sad song, I remember what we had then. Every time I see a river, it feels like I'm back in love again. I just can't stand this pain. Just can't stand it no more." Add that voice, so full of emotion, and the words break my heart every time. No one comes close to Van Morrison. No one.

[@lebe220]

Otis Redding.

[@thankmelater1254]

I was playing guitar along with some songs. at a certain point in this song I had to put it away because I heard the words

[@thankmelater1254]

...and I've listened to this song hundreds of times before...but it struck me.That has never happened to me before.

[@hattiebosum8536]

I truly believe you, I knew him since I was in my early 20s and now 73, finally heard him in person Forest Hills NY this past year 2022 and will be follow him this year! I wish him a long life❤

I agree!

[@rozenaxsax5133]

Same here. I've been listening to him since Them and then his first solo album. His music is unique and has given me so much joy and peace in my life it's been the greatest gift in my long life. 73 and still loving him and listening to him everyday. No one like him in the world.

[@marcisaac2558]

[@km2gthr]

Same here!! His newest cd is on replay in my car...I love listening to Van "up close and personal"....The man sounds as great today as he did when I was 12!! What a voice for the ages

[@chrishoebich2021]

With the exception of King David, who had the benefit of being inspired by the Holy Spirit (the third Person of the Trinity), Van is simply the greatest singer/songwriter of all time. Thank you, Van!

[@troybertrand4796]

Few songs bring tears to my eyes. This one does it every time.

[@thankmelater1254]

...every time I hear that sad song...

[@themax2571]

This is what we call an immediate classic !

You know who has it? Van has it and more.

Top musician, puts today's 15 min chancers to shame. Quality of the highest!!!!!

[@AdamSandaver]

indeed

[@paulwetherill7318]

Rory Gallagher the real one ?

[@SkillBuilder]

Yes but look at how old they are. You don't learn it all in five minutes or even five years. Everyone starts out as a chancer. Van Morrison bashing out covers in Hamburg, swapping instruments to relieve the monotony. That is how you learn.

[@darwinperry7907]

Have enjoyed Van's extraordinary music for over 50 years. So rewarding to see and hear Van and his band sound so good! Thanks, Van

[@atmac27]

My dad was Vans original drummer in Them. Ronnie Milling. Van was amazing then & he still is. His lyrics are so touching. My niece just got married in October & Van was staying in same hotel as wedding. Dad seen him for first time in years.

Esta música tão linda e romântica, me traz otimas lembranças da viagem, que fiz a Portugal, e que ouvia repetidas vezes, quando estava no quarto do hotel. Acho que foi aí que me apaixonei por sua bela voz. Isto ĥá 5 anos atrás. Desde então sou sua fã ardorosa! Vc é o melhor! Parabéns!

Van has elegance in his blues--very nice--shows character.

[@kev10ok]

Heard he's not the warmest man offstage yet can pen warming songs like this. I love this x

[@joblet1]

kev10ok I am a huge VM fan, his songs are top quality, his tone is so chilling and his voice unique when he doesn't force it and lets the melody flow. However saw him recently in Manchester and was so disappointed with him shouting the lyrics, which as a consequence where unrecognisable. The band sound was excellent with top musicians, but Van was disappointing, much prefer to listen to his produced, polished studio sound!

[@jc_compo]

Another poetic and musical Masterpiece!

[@RuthAnnLowman]

Every time I think I’ve heard the best by Van, I hear something like this! There goes my heart❤

[@heck2150]

My, my my… Touched by this sound. The eerily sweet, talented backup singer, the bass, brass, guitars, drumming and vocal are haunting ear worms into my psyche. Know that I carry your recording everywhere throughout the day until I get home and think of the eyes of my love. A thousand thank-you’s. Van, please, do not let your music end. Long live live and recorded music!

Defying genre this bluesman, classic rocker, crooner or ballad singer has also defies time as his recent music is as relevant now as his hits were in the 70s - 80s. Go Van you remain "THE MAN"!

Haven't heard your voice in quite a while Haven't seen you dance or seen you smile I can go days where nothing is wrong But it just doesn't last very long Every time I see a river Every time I heard a train Every time I hear a sad song It reminds me of what we had then Every time I see a river Feels like I'm back in love again My life seems together and I'm doing just fine But I remember when I was oyurs and you were mine I don't need your picture on the wall I don't need anything at all, but... Every time I see a river Every time I hear a train Every time I hear a sad song It reminds me of what we had then Every time I see a river Feels like I'm back in love again I just can't stand the pain Haven't heard your voice in quite a while Haven't seen you dance or seen you smile I can go days where nothing is wrong It just don't last for very long Every time I see a river Every time I hear a train Every time I hear a sad song I remember what we had then, what we had then Every time I see a river Feels like I'm back in love again I just can't stand it no more Can't stand it no more Every time I see a river Running, running, running, running, running, running, running Running and running and running and running and running and running Running away every time I see a river Can't stand the pain Feel like I'm back there again Every time I see a river
