An Irish Romantic 🥰 | Van Morrison - Someone Like You [REACTION] 

Young lady....you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg with this artist. Dig deeper. He's one of the most talented artists of our time. Unique style born from his love of the blues and is Irish heritage. He plays the sax, guitar, and piano, writes, produces and arranges. His roots are deep in the blues but he's managed to fuse his influences in brilliant ways. Like I said....dig.

Van Morrison has been an icon for decades. Try "Brown-Eyed Girl," "Moondance," "Into The Mystic" and "Tupelo Honey"

My wife and I have been married for 48 years, and Van Morrison has been the soundtrack of our marriage. I introduced her to Van, when we in high school, and we’ve been listening to him ever since. You really can’t go wrong with anything by him.

Van Morrison is what my wife and I put on for... Romance. We could be in a Walmart and if he comes on, we dance. :) His very best song, IMHO, is Into the Mystic. But he has a zillion hits.

He is a very talented songwriter! My favorite VM song is “Into the Mystic”. It’s about a man who just can’t wait to get home to his lady. Give it a listen sometime. I think you’ll enjoy it! ❤️

"Into The Mystic"

His Voice is like a warm coat for the Soul🥰

Queen Of The Slipstream is another great one from Van

"Discovered" him late in life - he's amazing. I'm 70...always good to know there are still so many wonderful discoveries out there.

Nice reaction. Another great song by him that pulls on the heart strings is “Have I Told You Lately”.

This was the song I walked down the aisle to.

Walked down the aisle to this song in my 2nd marriage. We were both 49. Loved this song for decades and we realized this song’s lyrics fit so well. We’d both lived life and had a lot of difficult times. He was a veteran. Just a perfect song. And this time I got it right. He is my soul mate. Great reaction.

Van the man is an interesting character....A style all his own.

"Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison. You will not be disappointed

Damn!!! That piano

Irish Soul in the house. Thanks for the delightful reaction.

Thank you love Van!

Queen of the Slipstream by Van Morrison! I love Van Morrison.

Van Morrison there will be days like this 🙌🙌🙌

Omg... this is one of my all time favourite song!

This was one of two Van Morrison songs we had in our wedding, the other was "I forgot that love existed." Van Morrison is the soundtrack of our life together.

You can never go wrong with Van Morrison!!! At our wedding this song was my husband and I first dance. It also incorporated my aunt who passed who taught me a greater love for music and he was one of our favorites. ❤️❤️

Almost every Ban the Man tune has that same passion and Moodance will make you cry in happiness!

Someone exactly like Royce 🥰😅

My eldest daughter enjoys specially some like you so do i most of van Morrison songs i like and enjoy ,songs like did you get healed, foreign window,bright side of the road and lots more , van Morrison deserves plenty well done you are the man

" have I told you lately " more lovely piano playing ❤️

Finally someone did it React to SOMEONE LIKE YOU

This was my wedding song--- I got it from the movie Only The Lonely, and I still play it when I want to dance with my wife.

It’s been said before but no one uses their voice as an instrument quite like Van Morrison

I never heard this before. But Van is the man!

My all time favourite Van Morrison song!

Into the mystic is a must by Van 😎

caressing its way into our hearts

Gorgeous song love his voice and writes beautiful songs ✌️🕊️❤️💕

I’ve always loved his voice. Anything he does is great. Loved watching you enjoy this! 😊🌹

Pink Floyd and Van Morrison the same day, impressive. Brown Eyed Girl- Into the Mystic

Never herd this song but loved it , pulling my guitar out learning it to play it for my wife. Thank you 🎼🎸

I'm digging your choices so much. These are so many of my all time playlist songs. I feel your reactions, you can't deny those sounds. It's in our bones. If you have time I really think you'd enjoy Ray Lamontagne "let it be me" ... I think the world needs more of these soul snatching songs that make you feel those emotions. Thank you for keeping me entertained.💜

Watching your reaction, makes it all worthwhile! Glad I ran across your review. Thanks!

This song suits so well to you miss. In and out. Now you know what's moving me... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was reminded recently that in two days it marks an anniversary of a first date that I had 27 years ago. I went to a bar with my date and the band playing was led by a friend of mine. About an hour into the date he dedicated a song to my date and it was the signature song of Van Morrison, namely "Brown Eyed Girl". 27 years later she is still my brown eyed girl and I feel so lucky.

What a good reaction! I've loved Van Morrison forever! This song gets to me.

Van Morrison is a poet and one of the 10 best musicians in history imho

Thank you so much for delving into the world of Van "The Man" Morrison.

First time I heard this man was 1972, I was 10 years old. In 1962 Jim Morrison was singing "Gloria", written by Van Morrison, he invited Van up to sing with him; Van got booed off stage?? That's Rock and Roll

The woman who all of his early songs (Brown Eyed Girl, Crazy Love, Moondance and Astral Weeks albums) were written about was his first wife, Janet Rigsbee, who he renamed Janet Planet (a name she didn't like). She left him in 1973, or as she put it, escaped. She, like many other people confused Morrison's music with the man, who was described by Joe Smith, Warner Bros' executive and the man who signed him as, "A hateful little guy." However, Smith felt that he was the greatest voice in rock and roll at the time. According to Janet, "The music was everything you could hope for as a romantic. The man was a prickly pear." Morrison himself openly admitted that he was not a nice person. Sadly, Janet could not reconcile the fragile dream of the songs that he claimed were true at night with his rage that had become her daily life. Of course, by this time Van was a money-making machine and everyone blamed her for his eventual musical slump that lasted thru the 80s (until 1987, when he wrote "Someone Like You," which may be about his second wife, or about looking for someone like Janet nobody knows for sure). As Kevin Courtney, journalist for the Irish Times put it: ". . .it's still oddly fascinating to try and square this Scrooge-like caricature with such beautiful, transcendental songs as "Sweet Thing," "Madame George," "Tupelo Honey," "Crazy Love," and "Into The Mystic." Maybe that's why Van's music has been so great - it's the only way the nice guy locked inside him can get out.

So good to see the younger generation appreciate talent and this man has it in abundance. My ultimate fantasy is a musical collaboration of Van the Man James Taylor and Karen Carpenter to just to hear probably three of the greatest vocalists together don’t know if it would have worked but my god I’d love to see if it did

Van Morrison's musical library is chock full of great great songs. And, although he suffers from stage freight. his performances are 'legendary'. There are several songs that have kept me between the ditches for many years. Love this artist.

van morrison (into the mystic) is an amazing song

Van Morrison, “Moondance” 👍

I love Van Morrison! and specifically this song. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also your reaction!!!!

This was just so, so lovely. ❤️🎶

"Every Time I See A River"

Mmmmm.. felt like I was sitting in that cafe sipping a jazz smoothy... gulp~~...;-))

RR, gotta listen to "Into the Mystic". Van is one of my Sunday night music choices to wind down the weekend and get ready for the week.

My second husband and me played this while I walked down the aisle to this song. Summed up our lives. Thanks for reacting and getting Van Morrison. Listen to more of him if you can (Tupelo Honey, caravan, Have I Told You Lately…)

This is me and my SO's song. Always has been since we first heard it. The Best is Yet to Come!

My favourite van Morrison song is moon dance.( jazzy love song ) he is also a Nobel prize winning poet .

Nice arrangement.

Love your passion, you're so beautiful. Van has to be one of my favourites.

All of Van Morrison songs are a work of art.

Into the mystic

Van Morrison - Sweet Thing ;)

My all time favourite Van Morrison song is ‘Into the Mystic’ It takes some beating, in my opinion.

Listen to " have I told you lately" is a van Morrison classic

I have to add my vote for "Into the Mystic" and "Tupelo Honey", You really can't beat Van Morrisons voice and delivery.

This is one of my top 5 songs. ❤

I heard my name and I thought I requested the song 😅 but it happens to be one of my favorite songs as well 😛

Wow you found him, he has a huge songlist , his music is timeless and effortless and always mesmerising. Definitely Queen of the Slipstream is not everyone's first choice but an amazing song to get lost in. Enjoy . Oh this was in the movie Love Actually.

Floyd and Morrison in the same day😁 Growing up and going to see some of these artists was mind blowing, keep doing what you're doing. Sending love from the UK

I found my ''soul mate'' from far across the sea in a distant land. We meet & listen to music ''across the air waves'' every night & Van M., especially this song, is one of our favorites. But alas, to her I am just a friend. But I can look no further. Being her friend is far better than being without her.'' The Heart is a Lonely Hunter''.

Yes you have to check out his Into the Mystic

This is my favourite Van Morrison song. You can find it in the Bridget Jones’ Diary soundtrack.

My favorite all time artist. Dylan is a close second.

If the song doesn't have passion,it ain't Van Morrison.

Your smile!❤

VM also has Brown-Eyed Girl, Moondance, Tupelo Honey and others

`Up and down the highway`....It`s a metaphor. What a beautiful love song. Love your cool choice`s in music.

Que bueno por Dios, me encanta Van Morrison, me parece espectacular, gracias por hacerme sentir y recordar 🎶🌈💙🎶👏

Such a beautiful love song . Check out the whole album. Such quality

Takes me 22 years back. This was our song. I was 20

"Queen of the Slipstream" lady.

This song touches me deeply into my Taiwanness Soul.

He also wrote "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You"

How lucky for you.. Van the man will be with you forever

You are so wise beyond your years. Your grasp of the many subtleties of music comes from somewhere beyond. Oh and I have studied people all my life and I can tell by the angle of your jawline and other facial features that you are a descendent of royalty. I am trying to narrow it down to where from. Yes

Enlightenment is such a special album

I love your reaction and live the song. Haven't heard it before.

you're opening a can of worms here, lol. Van the man, just a great catalogue of songs. Into the Mystic. ftw

I love the base of this song!

That song was played @ my best friends wedding and my fave of all time it reminds me of my auntie who passed a year ago. It reminds me of how much I’m worth it and our bond together such a bueaty ❤

No conocía a este cantante😊gracias por presentarmelo me encanta😋

RR, ur digging into some good music lately. Van is one cool dude, some great, great music

A wonderful reaction to a beautiful song. One of the greatest artists/ musician's/ lyricist in music history. You should give a listen to his Album; "ASTRAL WEEKS" it's a master piece in music and poetry/ song. Some of the best musician's in the industry. All acoustic, from floor bass , guitar, strings etc. Van is a musician's musician as well. My take of him on the highway and traveling. Is based on him on the road all his life as a musician, making it difficult to find a true lover) soulmate. Not necessarily he was on the road looking etc. For the lounge sound today. But back in the day we were drinking good wine with candles, and incense burning. With pillows/cushionsc on the floor. And definitely found my soulmate. Had 45 years together.

love you sweetheart and your beautiful and real reactions. ❤️❤️❤️😘

You're gonna love "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. Can't help but dance in your chair. The song is so much fun.

Van Morrison " Moon Dance" is the song to listen to.

This song was also in the romantic comedy "Only the Lonely" with John Candy and Ally Sheedy. Van another beautiful song you might check out. He wrote and performed "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" which Rod Stewart had a huge hit with several years ago.

Van the Man - one of my favorites for decades!

Have a listen to Van Morrison “ Have I told you lately” you will love it.
