Wonderful testimony! Did you actually name a son Van? By the way, he's SIR Van Morrison now. He was knighted by Prince Charles of England.

[@Twilight-cl3zc]

Agreed...there are levels and Van must be blessed by the Lord.

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

One of my favorite VM songs.

[@EastPeakSlim]

Ronnie Montrose was the session guitarist and had never seen charts for nor heard the song before. He took a few moments and came up with the iconic guitar riff on the spot. One of my all-time favorites.

[@bungalowmo]

Wow...I had no idea. Been a fan since I first saw "Montrose" w/Sammy! Thanks for the history lesson!

[@Bassman2353]

I've probably played this song thousands of times in my bands - one of my all-time faves.

[@Nightcloudmama]

Van IS the man. My friends and family know that I have to have my "daily Van" or the day just isn't complete!

[@haskellbob]

That was the first song of his I ever heard, back in 1971. It was just the beginning of a long road with Van as my companion, extending even into today and concerts of his that I STILL go to. He may be a bit slower, but all that soul he ever had - he draws the audience in and lightens their load for awhile in the amazement of the space this performer gets into.

[@JSRoman-nx1uw]

I would say for a "Van Fan", I am on the rather young side (35 years old). But for most of my 20s I lived my life with Van Morrison running through my head. I would fall asleep to his greatest hits, and they would wake me up each morning. He is by far my favorite singer/songwriter to ever live. Although I love them all, my favorite song is "Summertime in England".

[@davidstobie2751]

the snap of the snare and the urgency in his voice is ...................my anthem

[@jasonremy1627]

Van the Man! Love to see you getting back here. Such a revolutionary artist. He could not make a bad song. So good.

My friend Sarah and I were both having a bad day, sometime back in 1989. We put this song on (on a tape deck) in her car, and drove around and listened to this song at max volume repeatedly, approximately 10-12 times. We felt better.

[@estelleostgard2804]

The great man from Belfast! Perfect for March the month for Irish music! Everything he did was great....soulful, blues, and the brass he sometimes used on songs!!! Note for other Irish music for March the Clancy Brothers, the Irish Rovers, The Chieftains, the Dubliners (did the best Whiskey in the Jar) and don't forget rockers the Pogues!

Whooooo weee always enjoy good music with our friend Jamel. Van Morrison wrote and made some epic songs. Way to go J.

[@freewheelcog7206]

Mr. Morrison is a class act, offering precision and looseness in his delivery of letters and music, and the fact that the electric guitar amplifiers and perhaps electric keyboard are as modern as it gets, the rest are instruments that require an uber level of skill and mastery that gives a completely new dimension to the music he offers, an extremely dying bread, that reminds me of Billy Joel another musical craftsman seeing either master live will leave a permanent indelible mark in your soul, by the way, that is a very good thing, it offers a feeling that you are able to access any time you need to be grounded or simply feel a little better. You may want to give Into the mystic a try, you will not be disappointed.

[@lesliebeacom4567]

This song always makes me get up and dance! Been a fan of Van forever. Had the rare privilege of going to a private concert of his with only about 100 people there. They were filming videos for his "Moondance" album. Fantastic experience of a lifetime!

[@mditt7]

Van (George Ivan Morrison) is a Belfast Irishman and soul singer who once said "The Irish are The Blacks of Europe." and I think he's right. 800 years of oppression. Don't know if there are many Irish mourning the death of The Queen too heavily. Not that they dislike her as a human being, just that they are not too keen on the Monarchy in a historic sense.
