This whole album is exceptional. I listened to it more times than I can count in college. Van is an artist, poet, musician...and sounds like nobody else. Glad to see another generation get to know this underrated and amazing artist.

@johnnyappleseed5590 Год назад

Yes! One of the greatest albums ever recorded.

@narabdela Год назад

Van Morrison "underrated"? Sixteen million albums sold "underrated"? What on earth are you talking about? Do you even know what the word means?

@tmtjr Год назад

@@narabdela actually yes. While that seems like a lot, his top selling album sold 6.3m which ranks only 519th place overall. Moondance which is the album I'm talking about sold 3.9m which ranks it 1048th place overall. He is well loved by his fans, but many people (especially under the age of 30) don't know him other than a couple songs.

@andrewgoldhawke5711 Год назад

??? underrated?

@adamprice3466 Год назад

Hipsters always say Astral Weeks was the best but Moondance is better imo

@ultimatespinach Год назад

There is not a weak song on this wonderful album, Moondance. I love it as much today as when it was released in early 1970 and many of the songs still get lots of airplay on my memory sticks while I'm driving. I remember looking at the liner notes as I always did when I tore open the cellophane on a new album jacket and I recall reading about Van's wife, Janet Planet, perhaps one of the coolest names I've ever heard!

@redpine8665 Год назад

Jelly Roll, for those who may not know, was a Jazz Pianist back in the day. Van mentions him in several songs.

@mikefannon6994 Год назад

Jelly Roll Morton

@brownie1341 Год назад

"Wild Night" is an awesome Van Morrison tune. Timeless voice. I could still cruise to it today. And it's got horns!

@scorpiouk5914 Год назад

Yes, great cover of the original song by " Martha & The Vandellas". Featured in the 1991 movie "Thelma & Louise".

@laurabrevitz3944 Год назад

Didn't Amber and Jay react to John Mellencamp's version of that song? Might be nice for you guys to hear the original!

@sanzoftatooine Год назад

"Bright Side of the Road" is another great one.

@stormy8207 Год назад

One of those people who can't really be categorized. A singer who also writes. Well respected.

@marybaillie8907 Год назад

From Van's Moondance album from 1970. This was written about an experience Van had when he was 12 years in Ireland. After a day of fishing, they stopped to ask for a drink of water at a home in the village. The man said he had stream water he could share. Five minutes after drinking it, Van said he slipped into another dimension and had a mystical experience. He said it made him appreciate nature to the fullest. Beautiful vocals by Van, and wonderful horns and guitars make for a satisfying peaceful tune. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

@amelias.2509 Год назад

Love that story! Thank you!❤️

@RabbiSteve Год назад

Great story and fits the song to a t. Thanks for sharing that.

@drumdog5 Год назад

Must have been one of those famous Irish "streams of whisky". 😉

@CANDOKNOWHOW Год назад

What a profound story of an experience from his youth, I’d like to echo the other comments on this thread and thank you so much for sharing this, it’s stuff like this that makes these reaction videos so rewarding coupled with sharing the experience with those reacting to it for the first time. Factoring in this story, it explains the deeply solemn gospel procession I’ve always detected from the tune, and it has that warm sunset daydream feeling thanks to the embellishments from the sax wherein the mystical communion is communicated so effectively. It definitely transports the listener to another place and time, which seems to be a really rare occurrence in music to stop time in such a manner. For me, it’s most often found in songs rooted in gospel, folk, soul, and blues. Otis Redding and Al Green are both masters of getting me to that place where it feels as if the veil of reality itself is being lifted to reveal the machinations of the universe. Steve Winwood and Greg Allman are both great examples as well. As for female vocalists, Janis Joplin is quite adept at getting me to that place, Stevie Nicks and Laura Nyro come to mind as well. The first time I heard Patti Smith I was experiencing something of a “perfect storm” in my life.. “Birdland” came on and hit me so hard I completely exhaled and had a short out of the body experience of astral projection where I saw myself from an elevated corner of the room that changed my life forever. I can’t even hear that song without feeling paralyzed and transported to another dimension similar to what it seems Van Morrison detailed with his experience with the water. Thanks again for sharing such a wonderful story!

@byrnez2755 Год назад

Every time I hear this song.. I get a Huckleberry Finn vibe. I can just imagine Van as a kid, with his buddy, hanging out and walking around the Ireland countryside in the summer time. He just puts those clear images in your mind with his lyrics and sincere vocals.

@elissacox4291 Год назад

This is actually my favourite of his songs. He has so many great ones, but I love the storytelling of this one

@surlechapeau Год назад

Jay /Amber, you'll love his "Wavelength", "Domino" and "Wild Night"!!! Time for more faster paced Van The Man!!

@frankschaefer1579 Год назад

Wavelength is awesome song!!!

@billclisham8668 Год назад

I've always liked the horn work in this song. It's not over powering but really adds to the tune.

@toddkutches8691 Год назад

A true artist, Van Morrison, a prince of Irish Soul... Into theMystic, Someone Like You, Warm Love, Days Like This, Tupelo Honey and some earlier tunes like Domino, Wild Night, Moondance. The more you listen, the more it takes you away... love your reactions to so many different songs. Thank you for reintroducing me to my music era...

In my 57 years on this planet, I haven't heard a Van Morrison song I dislike. Van the man is faultless.

Classic Van Morrison. That whole album is great. You really gotta try Moondance from this album. His jazz self really comes out.

Tell me the big a**? I of?

@Sometimes-even-lyrical Год назад

Van Morrison is a multi-instrumentalist... and he knows just what sounds blend well together, and knows which instrument's voice he wants to stand out and when. He has a definite and inspired approach to putting together the right elements to make musical bliss! And Van's vocals and lyrics fit so organically and perfectly into what he composes instrumentally. A poet, artist, and mystic for the gypsy in our soul.

@marleybob3157 Год назад

One of the great albums of all-time and yet somehow forgotten is Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks." Songs from that album to consider are "Astral Weeks", "Besides You", "Sweet Thing", "Cyprus Avenue "The Way Young Lovers Do" and "Madame George."

@chelsea747 Год назад

Yes! Love that album ❤

@costeris35 Год назад

You definitely hit the nail on the head with this song and my other two favorites are Tupelo Honey and Into The Mystic

@Seanriver316 Год назад

"Jackie Wilson Said", "Wild Nights", "Domino".

@pttp5509 Год назад

To hear him before he was so mellow, Van sang lead for a band called Them in the 60’s - recommend Baby Please Don’t Go and Here Comes The Night He also recorded an actual country song called Once A Day - it’s great!

@pattyestrada6 Год назад

Please do “Crazy Love” and “And The Healing Has Begun”, I love Van Morrison. Amber, just like you “Into The Mystic” is also one of my favorites.

@garyarnett1220 Год назад

Yup Amber, my fav by him is Into The Mystic as well....for 50 yrs now.

@moanahughes3593 Год назад

Van the man a very deep rabbit hole to go down. The Irish muse and poet.

@laneykehel5057 Год назад

Brand New Day from the Moondance album is amazing. Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom, sang background vocals.

@brendaclark8344 Год назад

Van Morrison wrote and sang "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" which Rod Stewart also recorded but Van wrote it as a prayer to God. His is the only version that I listen to.

@Paladin70 Год назад

Thank you, I’ve been hoping for this one for a long time. I’ve been listening to Van since 1964 when he was the front man for the band Them and they released his song Gloria. If you want a real treat, listen to him doing Gloria as a duet with the great, great blues man John Lee Hooker. Definitely in my top ten all time performances, a virtual masterpiece by two legends.

@johnnyappleseed5590 Год назад

Van Morrison has 43 albums and is still releasing new albums. He’s one of the greatest artists ever.

@timkeagy4094 Год назад

One of the best songs ever written.

@tylerbyrd8511 Год назад

I absolutely love Van Morrison, such an iconic n serene voice that makes me reminiscent of a time I'm nowhere near old enuff to have endured😌✌️ Fantastic voice n musical mind. Domino is another by him I'd check out, but you can never go wrong with this guy. Bangin channel, best there is n thx for the reaction(:✌️🎸

@nicolaanne4787 Год назад

I’m so pleased you’ve finally got to this one, it’s my favourite Van song. You really are the cutest couple btw💜🌈🙏🏻

@Rock2005Star Год назад

One of the best songs ever written! Jelly Roll refers to a famous blues musician. The song itself is about having a NATURAL high from doing & experiencing things you love.

@SK-lk3iu Год назад

"It stoned me" could mean that you feel good like when you have been drinking or on drugs. Also, in the U.K., I believe that "stone me" means you are shocked or surprised.

@Jmyth44 Год назад

Van Morrison, one of the great Singer songwriters of the last 35 years I wanna recommend the movie, “ Michael “ with John Travolta The movie closes with a great great Van Morrison song called “Bright Side Of The Road” or you could listen to one of the great love songs ever written “Have I told you Lately” Keep listening to van the man

@bigb6046 Год назад

@montalbans Год назад

I grew up near Woodstock, NY, where Van Morrison was living when he made this record. Several of the musicians on this track (and the whole album) used to play in local bars in a variety of different bands. Those were magic times.

@danmayberry1185 Год назад

Very interesting! Couple of years after The Band's Music From Big Pink .. must be a Catskills vibe.

@ohfour-seven6228 Год назад

Three more Van songs to check out: Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile), St. Dominic's Preview, and his funkiest song, Cleaning Windows. He's a world treasure, so glad you think so too!!!

@DawnSuttonfabfour Год назад

you ought to try and see him live (on dvd) and you will see him rock, roll, blues and soul.. He brings it. I saw hi in 89 and he was majestically good. This song is about fishing when he was a kid.

@tonycairns6728 Месяц назад

I saw him in 1989 too. He was great!

@knuteboy3778 Год назад

I think the song is just a simple childhood memory with him and his friend, Billy with water being the unifying theme of the three verses. It's an expression of the simple joy and innocence of life as seen through the eyes of a child and it's as great as any "high" he's ever had, such as lovemaking when he was older.

@jamesmaas4833 Год назад

Glad someone addressed the "Jellyroll" line.

@DawnSuttonfabfour Год назад

Irish soul. Love this.

Van The Man Morrison, always in the mood for the Irish Troubadour. Suggest "In The Garden, Real Real Gone, Enlightenment, Sweet Thing" and with, Them: "Gloria"

Van Morrison one of my all-time favourites!

@arizrich Год назад

Lol, listening to you guys! Jay it's obvious why you like football... Structure! And Amber you are an obvious barefoot hippie chick! But go together so well! As for Van, he's really an amazing songwriter, really a poet. Before he went solo with Brown Eyed Girl he was in a group named Them. Their (his) song Gloria is a classic classic song. Every band practicing in their parent's garage learned that song back in the 60s. In the 90s Van made the coolest version ever of that song with the late Jon Lee Hooker, a blues giant! (He was the street musician that you loved in the Blue Brothers movie) I know you guys love the blues, check it out! Peace!

@tombeyerlein3813 Год назад

I have to add my vote for the live Caravan from The Last Waltz with The Band. You will not believe your eyes and ears. Van almost didn't appear on stage that night, but when he did, he delivered possibly one of the best performances ever committed to film.

@tombeyerlein3813 Год назад

At least one of the best *rock* performances.

@tombeyerlein3813 Год назад

Van is one of the greatest living songwriters (and singers). He also has a tough R&B side, and he can rock out with tunes like Domino, You Make Me Feel So Free, Wild Night and Jackie Wilson Said. His catalog is deep and broad, and he continues to do good work (sometimes) even to this day.

@pammcmonigle6061 Год назад

I love Van Morrison. Have you guys ever reacted to Marshall Tucker? You will love Can’t You See.

@BigDaddy-dr8gf Год назад

Had the pleasure of seeing Van Morrison at the Santa Clara County Fair Grounds (San Jose) in 1971. On the ticket with him that night was Cat Stevens. Van Morrison is not a very dynamic performer. He just basically stands there, plays his guitar and sings, but with that voice and music, you don't need to be dynamic. Those were the days.

@LiberalsArePoop Год назад

This and Jackie Wilson Says are my favorites. Please do that one soon.

@csharporbflat2006 Год назад

My favorite Van Morrison song is actually from when he was a member of “Them”. “Gloria” is awesome in its seeming simplicity but when you really start to pay attention, there’s a lot going on with the guitar riffs. You should check it out!

Into The Mystic is my absolute favourite... ;-)

@murraytown4 Год назад

I’d almost forgotten you’d done Van the man before. It seems like it’s been forever. His catalogue is huge. You should check out ‘Dweller on the Threshold’. It is very different from the ones you’ve listened to to date. It has a more uptempo pop vibe to it. It’s early ‘80s. The saxophone solo in it is spectacular.

@KimSimful Год назад

Moondance and Into the Mystic are my favorites.

Loved this guy for more than 40 years! Van is his own genre, totally unique and impossible to copy. I love many of his releases, and AstralWeeks is a fave -recorded live with selected musicians. Btw, he plays guitar, piano & sax all really well. Saw him live only once, in Washington DC… and like my Pat Metheny experience, was absolutely transcendent! Love you guys!

This was the favourite song of my late, darling friend Gretel. Just 32 when she passed away. I remember singing this song with her so many, many times. X

@glenndespres5317 Год назад

You two have got tot dip into his early stuff. Astral weeks was a unique album out in ‘68. Check the title track. As I understand it, it was a group of musicians who just got together and riffed off each other to come up with each track. Very organic! Great stuff!

@spudinho1 8 месяцев назад

Before he discovered country / jazz Van was lead singer with Them, a classic 1960s r 'n' b band, with memorable hits such as Gloria and Here Comes the Night - - creating a sound that, arguably, had a major influence on The Doors. Then he went to California and made the album Astral Weeks [backed by the Modern Jazz Quartet}- creating a sound and style that was quite unique, haunting and beautiful - much of it in a distinctive, light 6 / 8 style. The rest is history! 🐻

@shelq3814 3 месяца назад

My fave song of his...it's like a perfect poem.

@jasonremy1627 Год назад

Van Morrison is a very deep well to tap into. He had a streak of perfect albums: Astral Weeks, His Band And The Street Choir, Moondance, St. Dominic's Preview. You can drop the needle on any song on every one of those albums, and it's an amazing tune.

@jbellinger99 Год назад

@GeraldYardson Год назад

I loved when she explained one of my favorite songs just as I see it. I was later in life before listening to Van (other than songs on the radio and covers). It is really amazing hearing his songs change as he ages. I remember a professor once saying one should move through his discography in order, spending two years on every album before moving on. I didn't do that, but for the richness of the albums it kind of works out that way.
