  • @skipalifeanddangle would have to disagree on you there, what do you think it means by the man arcoss the way had sunshine in his eyes?? and jellyroll??

  • @archambault65 dude this video helped me learn this song cheers buddy 

  • Rubbish mate. Chords are all wrong. Where's the dMinor!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • homo...stop this crap

  • Nice Martin, what model is it?

  • Very fine job .

    Then the rain let up and the sun came up

    And we were gettin' dry

    Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by

    So we jumped right in and the driver grinned

    And he dropped us up the road

    We looked at the swim and we jumped right in

    not to mention fishing poles

    oh the water .. get it myself from the mountain stream.

  • good job!

  • i think you need to come to me if you need aplease you can cont one me

  • very nice

  • Really, I'll buy your first CD... My wife loves ya, too, she listened to this one and thinks you're great, too!!

  • Sweet!

  • Steve is just an average guy who is moved by music, And I think its guys like him who play with more feeling than most of the original artists

  • nothing against you soonergaret, but just once, i'd like to see some random joe blow play a cool cover and not have to read someones whiny complaint.

  • v cool

  • This is nothing against you man, but just once, I would like to look up a song on Youtube and not get videos of some random joe blow who thinks people want to watch him cover a song.

    I'm sure your great, but save that stuff for Christmas and Thanksgiving when you have family hostage!

  • Actually all these covers are helpful to those of us who want to learn to play the song. It is interesting to hear how the song is covered by different people in different ways, and can be easier to hear and see how to play it when it is just one person without a band. Also, sometimes as in this case, there is no video posted by the original artist.

  • @Kap199 Exactly!!! I watch this guy's covers all the time because he is in to the same kind of music I am. Are they all perfect 10's no but they are all done well and with great passion. Rock on bro!

  • @soonergaret STFU... you want a little cheese with your WHINE? moron.

  • @soonergaret What a tool. Please don't speak for the rest of us. I love hearing different people cover different songs. And as a beginner guitar player, I learn a ton. If you don't like it take a hike, jack!

  • yep

  • great job dude. usually covers suck

  • good job bro.. maybe from boston? haha

  • and ps this is my boy will hes wicked smart

  • Great music...sooo good! one of my favourites

  • Great Song!! Fishing and driking and smoking, J s and fishing poles!!! 9 out of 10

  • This song has nothing whatsoever to do with "drking" or "Js", or indeen substance abuse of any form. It is a song about youth and innocence.

  • Hey Man,

    I wrote you a while back and you advised me about the copyright disclaimer. I finally put something up ... a version of this among them. Check me out and give me a comment if you have a minute.

    Good job, Bro, you must be OWNING this one by now . Thanks again.

    Dave Morrison

  • You're really good. Go boy! Keep on singin' and playing your guitar!

  • You did good

  • love this song, I`m gonna play this song at a coffee house tonight, your goin back to G too fast on the chorus,its "(G)and it stoned me(C) to my soul"(C,again) ,then G, 3*s

  • Great cover!

  • Anybody know where I can get the actual Van Morrison singing this song? I love this song.

  • get 'TheBestOfVanMorisson', its got like 20 songs on there inclkuding this one

  • u could get the moondance CD

  • wow u guys need to get lives, Dude dont listen to any of there crap

  • BUSTED!!!

    He replied to that freemanzee dude after claiming he blocked! No discipline!

    No, clearly folkmusic1991 did call FreemanZee an asshole. I don't think that's called for just because freemanzee made a funny and impersonal rant.

    I wrote to freeman, and he said he got one of those emails from youtube with "asshole" in it, and so he replied to that.

    I think folkmusic1991's confused. Plus freeman's a christian. I'm atheist, we don't pick fights so much as them religiositous folk.

  • Whoa boy!

    Why you messin' with Freeman? He's cool. You started the conflict.

    I think you should apologize. He was just having fun. Didn't insult anyone, like you did, calling the man a nasty name. I think he's right to shake you up a bit!

    Also, your argument seems to make no sense at all on its face, let alone the notion that hypocrisy is acceptable as long as you admit to it.

    Are you seriously a Christian? Don't tell him I said so, but so is he.

  • Wow, he has a HEART!

    ...And the ability to install cool "words," like the trademarked "brutallic" to buttress his utterly illogical arguments.

    Apparently it's fine by this turkey to be a hypocrite, as long as you admit it.

    But where's the hypocrisy of which I am accused.

    Who needs logic when you have such twistable, even malleable, faith?

    He called me an asshole. I still don't know why. His page is full of self righteous xtian hypocrisy, as he admits.

    Go figure!

  • you are participating in an OPEN FORUM.

    As such, you are out of line in asking me not to reply to your public postings, which have constituted a direct, obscene ad-hominem attack. It seems to me that you are the one who should have held his tongue, (and I quote,) "asshole."

    Perhaps if you were to withdraw your rude and unchristian comment using the "remove" button, then I'll do the same. Upon removal, my words would lose their context anyway.

  • Your big pink dildo is showing, honey.

  • mmmmmmmmmmmm yummy

  • shit

  • pretty good sound.

    performance a bit cheesy though

  • SOUNDS DAMN GOOD TO ME! Loving Van, Jeanne Marie

  • One of the first songs I ever learned.

    You played it very well! Reminds me of warm summer days and young love...

  • Me and my girl are loving your version.

     Fuckin Brilliant

  • Wow, very, very nice. I'm really enjoying your songs..keep at it!

    PS -(and this isn't meant to be an insult) - You remind me of the "Janitor" from Scrubs...

  • great job......JB

  • Great!

  • No probs, you're welcome - i liked this version too. regards

  • Too much "room." Lousy camera mics.

    Close mic, with some reverb, and headphones to monitor, and this could sound much better. Production technique: sine qua non.

  • This guy is good and a great guitar player but come on guys. he is no Van Morrison. I am glad I listened to him

  • good job

  • HE LOVES VAN ITS GREAT

  • I hate dissing people on youtube but I really don't know how this has got so many views. simply terrible.

  • Ur A Retard!!!,...Haahaaa!! This Dude Does Van Morrison BETTER Than Van Morrison!!

  • Ummm... because it's deceptively labeled as Van Morrison, not Joe Blow covering Van.

    Ain't that the "fun" of yootoob? ...Hitting a link that says "Will Ferrell" and watching a teenager in boxers (or briefs,) setting on his unmade bed, improvising a "review" of a video he bought. But it's not a review, (which would include info and insight,) rather, it's just his rather worthless opinion, then you notice the BIG, PINK DILDO poking out from under the pillow?

    That makes me very happy.

  • this is horendous!!! van would be disgusted

  • After Hearin This,..Im Ashamed To Say I Ever Liked Van Morrison!! He's A Washed Up Old Dude That's Too Tight To Post His Videos..Lmao!! But Im Glad To Hear Someone Do (a couple) Of His Tunes Justice;)

  • "this songs called.. and it stoned me." lol the way he said it was great

  • Dude, meatheads should no sing this song...

  • I think you did a great job singing this song!! Honestly! congrats, keep the covers coming... TARA CANADA

  • ~~I Think You Rock!, This Is one of My Fav, V.M. Tunes, And Your Girlfriend Has Awesome Taste,..(Love Tha Red;)

  • Very good my friend, I love this song. Good job. It surprises me that there is so much great VM music, and not one of him doing this.

  • whoopish:) good cover, jelly roll = jelly roll morton?.

    wish i could sing this song but with my new york accent water comes out wooter

  • Thanks man I use this to learn the bassline, nice clean version. What's with the red paintjob?

  • i love grateful deads version of this song, i love grateful dead period.. haha

  • Very nice stuff. I wish I could do this. Thanks for introducing Van to me. I will buy some of his albums because of this.There you go You tube can ring the cash bell.

  • make sure that you buy the cd "His Band and the Street Choir" it is one of his best, you might also want to pick up "Tupelo Honey" hope that this helps and that you enjoy, much peace to you my friend

  • TY for the reply. Had to search for the original comment I made - must confess. That's a gap in the UT set up. I will check out the albums. My main point was the fact that -I guess- lots of people use this medium to listen to (and rip off) new artists. I'm a 45 - 50 year old. I don't do downloads that are against the law. I think it is right to pay for what I like. TY for your kind words. Be well.

  • Thanks! I just seen The Allman Brothers play this in State College Pennsylvania when they played with the Grateful Dead for thzat Obama rally! I wanted to learn it and I can seem to learn stuff from your videos! Thank you sir.

  • I saw Van Morrison a few weeks ago in the Hollywood Bowl. Great cover too.

  • Had i not been watching i would have thought it was Morrison himself.

  • Wow, this is probably my favorite of Van Morrison. I would love to go see him, but he plays over in Europe or Australia so much. You go guy, THUMBS UP from Texas.

  • Some people may not agree, but I like your interpretation of "And It Stoned Me" more than the original studio recording. You put great emotions into the song! Thank you very much for posting:-) Take care. Ivan, the Czech Republic, Europe

  • haha

  • You're doing great! That was wonderful!

  • You do this song proud.

  • you play what i need to hear, i enjoy your cover selection tremendously!! THANK YOU!!

  • much better.....

  • It's all about feeling good, and I feel as good listening to you as Van.... thats how good you are! Thanks again my friend!

  • hehehe i found another one :P great cover men!

  • where can i find the real version and not these terrible covers

  • unffair, this guy rules.

  • slow the tempo,, other than that good, skills, lol

  • oh too bad the buffering thing. hey you ever travle? come on out to the philly folk fest. you can camp with rockmamaoff. its a party in the dirt, around the rabbit hole. thats how we rock our gypsy souls.

  • I liked that song by your voice

  • You've got really good timing, and a great strumming arm. You seem to have a really good ear for music too. I bet if I played this along with Van Morrison, the songs would go at exactly the same speed.

  • Thankyou for that I was looking for the old Them rendition I had it on tape but its died does anyone have the old them album the one with Madame George,such a cool album, I want it but for free,thanks Lesley

  • i got a them cd,copy of the old lp,will check and see if the one you are lookin for,pick up the greatest hits cd,it's not that expensive,you can get the them cd and van morrison at walmart,it would cost me more to mail it to you.

  • Very well done.

  • Had to listen again,all my mates are well impressed and singing along. Cheers from Scotland

  • very nice man, have you done more music? then put it on youtube couse your very good.

  • Nice to see someone finally using the right chords...good job

  • yet again

    awesome job!

  • Very very nice!!! Not just the guitar, but the singing to!

  • archambault65,

    wow...

    just wow...

  • Very good!!!!

  • very nice! well done

  • Booooooob

  • Very well done mate! 5 stars!!

  • Thank you a kind soul on utube a rareity ..... ceol agus crach music and fun!!

  • You just need a bit more of the Northern Irish accent!!! greetings form the shores of Lough Neagh , great song , great singer love it, Keep Van the man alive and singing!!

    Deirdre

  • Van doesn't sing with a Northern Irish accent, he sounds black in some of his songs lol because he was inspired by like Jelly Roll Morton and stuff... I think that's why he says "stoned me just like jelly roll" in the song but I don't know about that for sure.

  • just like jelly rolled as far as i know

  • What the hell do you know. I think I m more qualified than youas I live near Belfast and I hear the accent. Van the man has an Irish singing voice!

  • nice one mate

  • I actually put this together for myself after watching you play it. I'm going to put it up soon so you can compare notes with me. Keep the faith!

  • Nice cover

  • Great job covering VM. Not enough of good stuff like this! Thanks man.

  • Nice job on that....good song!

  • I got my first kiss to this song in my 1973 Monte Carlo parked in the rain drinking schnapps and smoking weed with a girl who, 25 years later, I STILL haven't forgotten.

  • good job on the cover i enjoy playing this song very much too. i would say during the chorus you should hold the C chord more... for example at :52 you go to the G but i would play G C C G (instead of G C G G). wouldnt go to the G till about :55 in this case. hope that makes sense I just think it sounds a little empty there and this would fix it.

  • Work at your high notes man

  • That was wonderful!

  • ok, dude, but please write cover, since it's NOT by Van!

  • actually Jen it IS written by van, dude.

  • Just meant, THIS guy was covering a Van song. As it's NOT Van singing.OK.

    Sad to see all the Van videos takin' of YT!!

  • You're very good. It brought up a tear or two.

  • just like going home...........

  • Nice job on the cover... been a big fan of Van The MAN for a long time... cheers!

  • Nice dude! This tune is one of my favs, reminds me of being a kid. My dad got me into Van and I still can't get enough!

  • Your a talented guy. This is my fav. version out of all the covers on utube. The redneck fella pretty good too.

    ~K

  • great job mate .. one of my favourite songs to sing without a guitar too.. classic!

    Not a criticism .. make it a bit more choppy on 'it stoned me' part .. fantastic that you're bringing it to the world with feeling and talent!!!

  • Great job maan

  • Love it brother, thanks for rediscovering his great songs from Moondance, genius rarely seen today as far as melody and lyrics are concerned

  • great interpretation of a great song!

  • One of my ALL TIME favorite songs! GREAT job!

  • BRILLIANT,my wife asked what is that pish.I said this is the Main Man.She apologised and said this is one good version,Keep it up

  • Really great! You sound the same as Van Morrison. If I closed my eyes I would think I am listening to him:-) Thumbs up!

    Greetings from Europe, Czech REPULIC.

  • booooo!

  • Just added you to my favourites,but the guy is right about finding the right key.Cheers

  • Another very good video, you should do more of his songs :) I would enjoy listening and watching them :)

    Once again I loved it, amazing job

  • not bad for a septic {septic tank [yank] im from london mate} only kidding mate just like jellyroll hey

  • Good job - amazing song.

  • Ignore the message below...I just turned on the lights and put the joint down :lol:

    Thanks for the great effort...keep'em coming and god bless you my man...

  • You rocm man...excellent effort...krrp it up

  • Man you sound good! Thankyou for sharing! Peace TURK

  • I wanna hear some originals! That is our role as humans- to create. It is our gift. No other being on earth can manifest its desires. Beautifully done, Im gonna go and learn this one now!

  • Effin Brilliant

  • Great version. Most youtube covers suck, but yours is right on the money.

  • sure good luck...try using the capo to find the right range for songs, and let me know how you make out. I have the same issue...I am a baritone, and usually need to drop the original key of a song to sing it comfortably in my range.

  • Very nice performance sir. You have a wonderful voice, but if I may make a suggestion, the song, in this key of G is slightly high for your range. You would do well to lower it a whole step. May I suggest playing it in the key of C, with capo on 5 (actual key is F). If you can figure out the chords that way, you may find that you can sing it more comfortably. (Key of D, capo 3, would work too!) :)

  • Great song and nice performance. I do believe in VM's version the C chord hangs for one more bar then back to G (with the Saxophones). Enjoyed it though!

  • Van Morrison was is one of my dead boyfriends favorite artist. R.I.P. Roxas Zachary Hendrinson September 27th,1990 to December 1st,2007

    I Love You and I will always love you even when I move on I will not completely move on because I will still love you.

  • WOW! You're a GREAT singer! I LOVE VAN MORRISON:D I was playing him this morning at breakfast!!

  • Really? I've always heard Van is a jerk.

  • i love van morrison, dude great job singing it too! you are very good, anyone who loves van morrison add me as a friend

  • God, what a gorgeous song. Was Van Morrison really of this planet? It doesn't seem possible.

  • stone me just like jelly rolls.....great song !you cover it well..

  • lol

  • Solid cover.

    I really like the way I can see both the strumming and fretting hand.

    I saw G, C, D on the verse and E, D on the chorus. How'd I do? Not bad for a 2 month guitar player eh?

  • Hey there archambault65, we both ABSOLUTELY loved your single performance there, you've got a great voice to carry on the chords and it's nice to see someone else out there that thoroughly enjoys Van as much as we do!

  • Will you be my boyfriend?

  • Kinda throws me for a sec on your intro. The "Boston" accent. LOL. But U pulled it off quite well. Thanks! Sounds great!

  • slow down the tempo
