@animascat If you look into it further (google, etc.) you will find that in scripture the name Lucifer is actually an allusion to the Christ. With this in mind, the song should piece itself together, particularly with "and the many chosen few." Throughout history so many claim to be believers, but their actions say otherwise.
@sowhatnowhere did look into it with your perspective in mind. couldn't find anything supporting your theory. where in scripture does lucifer signify Christ. not trying to be contentious friend. i guess only van morrison can tell us what the lyrics mean, if anything.
@animascat Not a problem. Take everything with a grain of salt anyway, it's just my paltry interpretation. The best thing about songs is that they're elusive, which makes them timeless.
A more talented and much refined Bob Dylan type. Great song writer who plays a variety of instruments. Very difficult to categorize his music, but we like it! A little eccentric, but aren't we all?
Could you be referring to his Dec 2007 concert? I don't believe he played there in 08. If so, that was my first Van concert (and I only had to cross the Bay Bridge, lol) One of the best concerts I've seen in my 50something years !!!!!!!!!
samgluck57..........................You are VERY lucky!!!! I just saw him at the Gorge Amphitheatre on the Columbia River in Washington State. Absolutely incredible venue and the show was the single best cocert I have ever seen. Best wishes for a great trip.
Managed to order tickets for his London gig in October, never saw him live, been buying his music forty odd years, I’m not gloating folks, ah well, maybe a little gloat is in order lol
gran bel brano,grande interpretazione,grande artista!!!!!!

@samgluck57 Since you were 4 yrs old? hmmm
So what did you think of the concert?
I'm a decades-long fan too, who did not see him live until 3 yrs ago. I was hooked after that! Just saw him the 3rd time Oct. in SF Calif.
