  • A CLASSIC VAN THE MAN

  • Here in UK we had a really good (for a change) reality TV program. Where a bloke had had some problems in his marriage, and had to learn this song! He then had to get his wife to a Restaurant and on queue get up and sing this song to her, it was good as his main problem was remembering the words!!! Well as you may have guessed happiness reigned supreme.

  • Van the Man Morrison.

    With his own lyrics, music and soft voice 10 times better than Elvis!!!

  • @BeverleyBrown1 Yeah? If that's so...it's because of you...MY Sun...my Bev...My glory... :)

  • I just love the arrangement to this, especially the piano. It makes Rod Stewart's version seem so amateurish. This song is truly the mark of a master of his craft.

  • Thank you so much for putting this here; great to hear it :-)

  • This song is pure. That's the only word I can think of to describe it.

  • i like rod stewart alot but van morrison sings this the best in my opinion

  • You know, I have ALWAYS felt a connection to the lyrics of this song, but I never realized that it was a Van Morrison creation. Van Morrison, what a treasure!

  • heel mooi !!!!!!!!

  • This song always bring tears to my eyes(more like waterfall of tears) cause it was the song played at my granddads funeral last september ='(

    Love this song so much!

  • This was the song my husband said always made him think of me when we first got married. We've been married 27 yrs now and this song is still my song from him. ♥

  • @texjoy56

    hey nice story.  It is that sort of song.. timeless

  • @nofritzy Yeah..hard to believe Rod Stewarts version has had 10 times the number of hits...weird that.

  • @barzini66

    Van is the original and best. HAve you seen the Elvis song of the same name??

  • @barzini66

    Van is the original and best. HAve you seen the Elvis song of the same name??

  • i dedicate this song to my ex-love.....i cherish all our memories forever r.

    love,lynnie

  • Icall 康成やすなり everymorning as medicine of 心こころ!

  • no one can sing this song like Van Morrison. They all try but no one can. Best song of his.

  • Nobody phrases a lyric the way Van does. I don't know why Rod Stewart chooses to embarass himself with his cheesey cover, or why so many idiots can't seem to tell the difference.

  • You don't own... ANYTHING???

    Wow, bro, that sucks! Whose computer did you have to use to make this video? Are you, like, some kinda extreme monk? Or is this a statement about American debt...?

  • Love this song...its so pure!!

  • This is a beautiful song, it's so great....

  • This song must have been written for myself and my better looking other half.

  • This song reminds me of my dear long time friend Jerry Trahrey..........If you are out there you are in my thoughts...........It was your favorite.................Been a long, long time......

  • This has been our song for 16 years, always makes my heart smile. We always dance whenever we hear it, no matter where we are.

  • I love this song! I don't know why. It just when i hear this song I can't concentrate on anything else but the song. Weird isn't it?

  • My Nana was in the Van Morrison video for this song. It was partly shot at Seapark in Holywood Co. Down Northern Ireland. If anyone can turn up a copy I would be greatful

  • beautiful...adds tears to your eyes :'/

  • When this came out in the 80's, I played it over and over and over ... it never got old!!!

  • I have always adored this song!!

  • brill

  • its my boyfriends birthday i love this song to bits...yet he keeps comparing this to toilet music (the music u hear playing while taking a pee in posh places........like public toilets....) hes a dick ....

  • Adore this song...one of the most beautiful love ballads.

  • BEST SONG EVER!

  • michelle I know i don't say it enough but this is how I feel

  • Stuart, have I told you lately that I love you? I do, with all my heart. Dawn x

  • i love my boyfriend so much:)

  • One of the most beautiful and meaningful love songs ever written :) It's my favorite Van Morrison song..

    Thank You :)

    Annie

  • I love everything about this version of the song. The piano is perfect.

    When I got out of the hospital, it was playing on the radio. I couldn't

    stop smiling.

  • Still the best. The pathos in the voice.

  • Gracias Van Morrison por esta magnífica canción. Una de mis favoritas.

  • no disrespect to Mr. Stewart, but Van Morrison is the original and simply the best at this song hands down.

  • THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC,

  • Falling in love with love with love again at MY age. I sit and cry while I listen to this wonderful voice and lyrics. Amore.

  • this reminds me of how i feel. such a great love song

  • Ahh.. so glad to be able to hear this on YouTube. Done by the one who Wrote It, and who does it BEST!

  • Beautiful. This song reminds me of my grandparents. I can remember my Grandad dragging my Grandma up to dance to this and her calling him a dope but going up anyway. How cheesy am i! ha.

  • Music + Lyrics + Singer = one of the best love songs EVER!! God bless Van Morrison.

  • @DaddyTre65 do you do realise who he is singing to ? "We Should Give Thanks And Pray To The ONE" Note, WE, not 'me' 'I', not anything in the first person.

  • @rafhenlow ... I believe Mr. Morrison is singing about a special love two PEOPLE share. That's why he sings: "There's a love that's DIVINE / and it's yours and it's mine..." Mr. Morrison knows that the very best love a couple can share is one that is blessed by GOD! That's why he also sings: "We should give thanks and pray to the ONE". P.S. >> On the Avalon Sunset CD, Mr. Morrison openly acknowledges the importance of God in his life. :)

  • @DaddyTre65 "It's yours & mine". That would be the LOVE that is Divine, ie the love of God. That is how I read it. Only God can do everything mentioned in the song. I love my wife with a love I have never known possible, BUT, some stuff in my life I have to be left alone to deal with, as Tom T. would say, "Me & Jesus." Again, my outlook. God bless.

  • my mum and dad danced to this at there wedding, and we laid my dad to rest to this song, very emotional. xxx

  • This is beautiful. My husband and I danced to this at our wedding.

  • You can find it on "The Best of Van Morrison" CD...Its a classic

  • My wedding song...brings heartache now... but I guess that life

  • Van lost the power in his voice at this time, but his words are still beautifully strong.

  • Thanks for posting the original and best!

  • so the best version ever!

  • The BEST VERSION EVER, I love this song!!!

  • I love you Mowgli!!

  • thanks for the original!

  • This is so gentle.. thank you for sharing this gem with us

  • BEST VERSION.. no one else can perfect this :)

  • @RedempzN you're so right :)

  • @RedempzN Agreed

  • @RedempzN I totally agree with you.

  • @RedempzN

    Jim Reeves?

  • @RedempzN rod stewart also has done a great job on this song please compare them again and you will see that both are aon par with on another

  • @special420player rod stewart is good.. but van morrison puts more soul and feeling into it.. :)

  • Unreal how beautiful this is. Thank god for Van Morrison.

  • simply divine...

  • 找好久了...這個版本

  • I love you too, groundpwnd(r)!

  • Thanks so much for posting the original version! I have been searching for it for a while and am very pleased that I found it! <3
