VAN MORRISON - MOON DANCE | REACTION

[@emitchellolson9433]

I love that walking bass line! That totally holds this song together.

[@ontheroad5317]

The thing about Van Morrison - is this rock? Jazz? Blues? Soft rock? Yes.

[@ptrlxc]

This is one of those rare songs that is perfect, the lyrics, the clear music, where every note is necessary and where one note less or extra would change the song. Here you hear every subtle sound and it’s necessary.

[@leerowley70]

Agreed!!!

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

Perfection.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Van Morrison has been singing and playing professionally since 1958, when he was 13 years old, and is still going today. I know for sure he plays harmonica, guitar, piano, bass, saxophone, and drums, and who knows what else. He became a songwriter when his teenage band Them somehow scored a residency at a hotel bar in his native Belfast and didn’t know many songs, so he made them up onstage, stream-of-consciousness ad-libbing. He’s in the Rock & Roll and Songwriter’s Halls Of Fame. He’s North Irish, of course, but his dad had lived in Detroit and had one of the largest American record collections in Ireland, so Van grew up listening to American blues, jazz, and rock and roll. Anything from ‘Astral Weeks’ or ‘Moondance’ is amazing. “Beside You” from ‘Astral Weeks’ is unique. I challenge you to define a beat. On this track he uses his voice like Miles Davis uses his trumpet on ‘Kind Of Blue’, and the lyrics are more to paint a picture or mood than for literal meaning. It’s free jazz between two excellent rhythmic tracks in “Astral Weeks” and “Sweet Thing”. He amazes me.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZaVaISXoLiDrq8

You said it perfectly👍🏻👍🏻

[@victorcowboywest]

Sir George Ivan Morrison OBE...wrote this song ,his sax player is Jack Schroer and the flute player is Collin Tilton, his guitarist is John Platania and this is regarded as one of his most successful jazz composition.

[@RMcGivern]

I first heard this song in a film American Werwolf in London - shower scene - I was hooked on Van from then on

[@phonebone81]

Van the man is a multi-talent for many instruments and at the same time he`s one of the hardest-working songwriters ever. One of his best albums is (just for me) "The Healing Game" ! No matter what song you listen to, somehow they`re all perfect. I had to buy this vinyl album twice because I thought there would never be another work like this. Best regards @all from Hamburg (Germany)

[@joelliebler5690]

This is one of the most romantic tunes by any pop performer! Van is the man!👍🏻❤️☮️

[@SKYBRITE27]

So correct about it staying with you,first night i met my wife of 40 years this was playing in the backround.She's been gone almost five years ,and im just now recently realizing now that was the very moment i fell in love with her...my new fav song and anthem!

[@alainlyz]

Love Van, my favorite!

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Love Van Morrison . Wonderful vocalist.

[@dongange]

Can we talk about Van’s delivery and cadence? It’s perfection every time which is why I say never cover a Van Morrison song because it can’t be improved

[@pamcamcris]

Cadence--yes, that's the perfect word to highlight when it comes to his style!

[@jonnygonehawking380]

@@pamcamcris I read He plays the saxophone, its like its carried over to his singing

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

@@jonnygonehawking380 He does play sax and he’s damn good at it. I saw him in concert and he’s the main sax player.

[@lak1294]

Probably my favourite Van Morrison song (among many favourites of his). This one is perfection, with a killer jazz arrangement.

[@andrewmadeloni7173]

Great song by Van, was used so very effectively in the Jon Landis film "An American Werewolf in London"!

[@Bill_Jones.]

Chod, you have the ability to recognize quality in music and express your opinion better than almost any other reactor on KZbin. Great reaction !

[@ethelynchristopher6995]

One of the best songs ever. Have loved it for a long time along with his "Into the Mystic." (Definitely check that one out if you haven't already.)

[@billofalltrades2633]

This is a great song! Great reaction!

[@robertdtimmerman6507]

There is a scene in An American Werewolf In London where they use this song. The song tempo goes perfect in the scene and what happens to the lead character just a minute or so later…..

[@s.mcpherson6354]

I've always loved in the opening verse, how the piano player adds the breeze by twinkling the leaves.

[@williamcabell142]

Van the Man! One of they Iconic genius of Music! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I just get the video? Someone thought that represented the song...not me! It’s about falling in love during Autumn!

[@suebrown7548]

Reminds me of dancing in the living room in the dark with my hubby. Street lights filtered through the leaves from the tree in the front yard. So romantic (he's a keeper). Glad the two of you are appreciating it.

[@bid84]

Van really is the man

[@jonnygonehawking380]

His song writing and singing are amazing.

[@hazysummersky]

Can I just say.. I enjoy your mad stupid happy grin when you're enjoying the music!

[@lynnhoffmann247]

Love this song! Just heard it again the other day on a 4 hour drive and meant to request it 😂🎶🔥

[@eclecticwitch6669]

Love this song!

[@pgherna]

In the 70’s this was the High School dance to get your girl song

Van Morrison is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist. His recording career spans nearly seven decades. He can play guitar, harmonica, keyboards & saxophone. In the mid 60's he was in the band "THEM" & their biggest hits were "Gloria", "Baby Please Don't Go", "Here Comes The Night" & "Mystic Eyes". Van Morrison later went solo & has had lots of hits such as "It Stoned Me" , "Have I told You Lately", "Crazy Love", "Domino", "Jackie Wilson Said" etc.

[@macker33]

I'm glad, the cool video too.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Van (The Man) Morrison A Legendary Music Icon.

[@audreys5651]

Van the Man! Great song

[@atuuschaaw]

Yes! ♥

[@arjaylee]

Ageless!

[@surlechapeau]

Chod/Dee, you'll love his "Wild Night" and "Wavelength"!!!

[@k_salter]

Agree! Wavelength doesn't get enough respect.

[@edwardcrews2952]

The gift of music.

[@christinewaide5249]

I like when you do the reactions with your wife versus doing them by yourself. I feel that you’re more animated and fun. And I like hearing from her too.

[@danielmurphy4429]

Chod I may have said it before but, I’m saying it again, your next Van Morrison reaction must be Wild Night.

[@jenniferjacobs228]

masterpiece... 💗

[@victorduffany7723]

So wonderfully jazzicle.

[@barbaraarmstrong5253]

One of my absolute favorite songs ever! Never tire of hearing it.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Before Van Went Solo MUST HEAR Classics,, Them "Here Comes The Night" & "Gloria"

[@custardflan]

The guitar just grabs me. Nobody writes love songs like Van. Have I Told You Lately, Someone Like You, And then there's Days Like This, Full Force Gale, I Shall Sing. Just PLAY MORE VAN.

[@t.r.1708]

Nice jazz tune! Classic! Thx!

[@bobdelp2023]

YEAH FOR SURE, THIS AND BROWN EYED GIRL ARE DEFINITELYYYY SONG STICKERS CHOD! 😊 LOVED HOW HE USED ( FANTABULOUS ) FANTASTIC / FABULOUS 😊

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

This is music for driving slowly through a harshly-lit city. The city is full of life, but the day is coming to a close. It is time to hush.

[@danielfox6907]

Moondance( Morrison) or Take Five( Brubeck)? Flip a coin.

[@arthuroconnor4300]

This is my favorite Van Morrison song. Fantabulas night for a Moondance. Check out Blue Money 💰

[@edwardhoward8485]

What about that bass.

[@MK-gv7qr]

Chicago Bulls hat 👍

[@jamesnoland3445]

Listen to Van’s album Astral Weeks on repeat. Smoke some weed. Your brain will never be the same.

[@MisterWondrous]

Look up "cool" in the dictionary and it says: "See, no hear, Van Morrison."

His hits are great but a deep dive is the only way to understand his genius...

[@LetItBeSummer-1]

I love the talent of this man, it’s incredible…but I don’t love the man.

[@garyarnett1220]

Chod, luv you, but I mentioned a few times when it was just you , you needed to turn your mic up a bit, it's still the same. If I can't hear your comments there's no point in watching. PLEASE

[@sammybeck7794]

Such a distracting dumb video of night time traffic. He wants to Moondance with her not boogie in heavy traffic
