Best song ever. Prove me wrong.

Not my thing. Van Morrison's music is too mellow for me. Each their own. Guy definitely has talent.

The word you're looking for is soulful.

Guessing you've never heard Jackie Wilson Said. That said.... it was more about the song than the artist.

Side note: ^that song is a tribute to this man the great R&B singer Jackie Wilson



To be more specific, Van Morrisons' song is a direct reference to this Jackie Wilson song Reet Petite



If you hadn't already guessed Jackie was a significant influence on Elvis Presley.

There is only one Van Morrison. There is no forwarding to the track you are looking for with him. When you are in the right mood, you just let it play all afternoon and soak in it. Soulful is right

Oh, this is good. Never heard it before that I recall. It's a lot more my speed.

I lost the joy in listening to him once I found out how much of an asshole he was

[Shredhead]

February of 2020 we attended his closing two nights at Caesars.
I would have thought his last night he'd blow it out. He walked off the stage after an hour and let his band play solo for the last 30 minutes.
Totally disappointed the crowd.
Plus I got covid from a China man at the blackjack table. Probably the worst concert ever.

I did for a bit too but was able to separate the two. Read an article that said he's had some issues with old age that have skewed his outlook. So basically an old man yelling at clouds.

Enjoy his talent forget the rest.

Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.

Songs that do that for me: </p>

This is one that does soulful for me. Brings me close to tears, for the sheer beauty and personal reasons. There are many performances of it, this the first one that came up. It makes me miss my mom who had a deep love for Appalachian music both to listen to and to play. She played the dulcimer among other things. I have the one that she made. I cant play music to save my life but i cherish it. I also love listening to the cello a lot. It is haunting.

Been there, it is pretty good. There&#39;s one in Denver now too.

I still think it was those guys who built the railroad

Songs that do that for me:

That Tom Waits is strong even for Tom Waits.

This is not always the greatest song ever, but this year it might be:

Maybe I like Wagner while someone else likes Beethoven I think the best of anything is subjective unless you got something to count the most of

on my FB I keep getting these posts I don&#39;t ask for telling me the cars/ music/ girls in the 70&#39;s were the best to which I respond

&quot; Are you fucking losers are telling me you peaked 50 yrs ago ? &quot;

Van Morrison = Overrated

May not be your thing but “overrated” is a rough take for someone like Van.

I guess if I was to tap a similar vein to Van, I’d nominate Nike Drake. Weird dude gone way too soon who would have done some amazing stuff. Flash of brilliance and then poof.

Van Morrison = Overrated

Again. ... this post was about the song, its lyrics, the melody NOT the artist.

[mcski]

If the artist is overrated, doesn’t that imply the the song is as well
