[nospam199]

Thank you so much for posting this. 

[terrryc]

This song was played at JFK Jr.'s funeral. I'm sad to say it, but it fit beautifully.....

[BIRISHPM]

Van Morrison could sing the phone book and make it sound good. What a gift!

[jw342500]

[leehostettler]

I do not hear this song that I do not see the face of my daughter , Kaitlin….18 and oh so beautiful..walking down the aisle of a little chapel…walking all alone because as she told me then “ I am no one’s t o give away”…she is still my gypsy….

[JMHILL123G]

[rsanford100]

perfection

[marymadonna10]

I love this song, it reminds me of my beautiful mother. She would sing this song to me and rock me in her lap, even when I was too big to sit in her lap ;) She taught me music has no color it just is. My mother was and will always will be my music........... 

[MJones004]

@marymadonna10 How sweet is that; almost brought a tear to my eye. NICE :-)

[yessickart]

i wanna rock your gypsy soul...

[edwardelricfangirl1]

this songs makes me think of happy things :)

[11rockiton]

@hink1964 The reason they don't...Musicians nowadays are too concerned with looking and sounding cool rather than being vulnerable and making real, genuine music.

[1mysticalbeauty]

Goldie but goody!!

[Tigerlilly490]

This song always makes me feel good:)

[TabithaMancini]

[xokatiekayox]

This song makes me so happy its so beautifully written . Van Morrison was so great at writing

[theporca]

@xokatiekayox

What do you mean " WAS so great at writing" ? that sounds like he has passed away.

[AmolaTerra]

Goodie! the original! I'm so SICK of covers.

[laurieo33]

@AmolaTerra Me too!!!

[nbosum]

Oldie But Goodie! never gets old! (y)

[just2leavemessage]

Best song ever written IMHO.

Karl Pilkington... I love him

[mrloney1000]

Charles

[jgrb3741]

in my opinion, the best song he ever did!

[rmeastjr]

Thank you, thank you for posting this! For me, VM's one in a handful of artists who make music truly spiritual.

[kman9957]

dun dun dunna dun da

[18DreamDiva]

Van at his finest..

[painfulsecrets]

This has always been one of my most played songs. What a wonderful way to lean back and relax..eyes closed...Van singing... perfect !

[74swinger]

This is one of the greatest song ever recorded. Very moving. KARL PILKINGTON ROCKS !!

[kraig7777]

Play this loud.

[XXXIVMXXX]

I dont know where to start with his discography...any suggestions?

Top 3 albums?

[Mjswts]

@XXXIVMXXX That is difficult since he is so incredibly diverse (he's not Pop or Rock); started listening to him 5 years ago (at 29), and within a year had almost everything. He gets deep, so maybe not start there. Top 3 to start with: Moondance (since you're listening to this cut); Tupelo Honey (a country feel); and either St. Dominic's Preview or Veeden Fleece (AMAZING but leans towards complex, not Pop). He's mind blowing; his music adds to my life in spades. I hope you find the same.

[mr3000ts]

@XXXIVMXXX start with this album and astral weeks

thats what im doing.

[madphilgreenballs]

@XXXIVMXXX Personally, I'd start at the beginning and enjoy the progression and regression back to his family (Celtic) roots. I've been listening to him for around 25-30 years I guess, and today I still find something to enjoy from his lengthy his career to fit my mood of the current time.

[ckc1958]

Thank you so much for posting this original version of this beautiful song! I have been waiti ng for someone to do it. It's just so beautiful!

[TheTallGrassPrairie]

I've listened to this song on AM radio, FM radio, vinyl, 8-track, cassette, CD, online, mp3--countless times, many times over and over and over and over, and I never get tired of it. If anything I exhaust myself emotionally. Wonderful, fabulous, beautifully produced. Among the very best ever.

[AbbyNormal777]

@TheTallGrassPrairie It's gotta be my all time favorite song.

[SuperLarrytube]

Only Van could sing this song

[nalalul]

Haha Karl Pilkington! <3 HERO :)

[hink1964]

Awesome song, they don't write songs like this anymore

[jarheadaos]

@hink1964 So true today's artist is to shallow to write something like this

[gabikit]

Van Morrison does

[rvcrvc2]

Too cool, man. Best to you & yours.

[aluga1234]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaach !!!

[fa4everfa]

The best to you & Van f this Cxmas !

[duchessandthetree]

[alec353]

[madl420]

( wiping a tear ) THANKYOU!!

[madl420]

( wiping a tear ) THANKYOU!!

[ReviewCam]

I heard this song for the first time in 1989 in the movie Immediate Family. Glenn Close and Mary Stuart Masterston dance to it. The movie is about adoption. Masterson's mother is dead, but this was one of her mom's favorite songs. and the prospective adoptive mother of her baby loves this song, too.

Just listening to the song and remembering that scene in the movie makes me well up.

[WayneSkoting]

Eskimo. ♥

[mehidalgo18]

[wmarkdyer]

I love the bass on this song.

[proudmomma2922]

This is just the best easy listening laid back song! A FAV SONG FOR ME

[swisscheeses]

My stepmother, Jamie, is in her last hours right now after a 12 year battle with a a rare form of cancer. This was one of her favorite songs. I'm finding out that I guess she was not alone. Bless you all.

[andrewshere]

@swisscheeses Peace and serenity be with your stepmother, Jamie. Nothing really ends. All of us are enriched by the relationships we forge and the love we share. God bless.

[kidynamite58]

Possibly the greatest intro to any song ever, makes my soul enter the mystic every time.

[thesandqueen]

My brother just committed suicide.He served in the Vietnam War and this song is for him.This is for you Walt.I love you.Your sister Vera

[pearlphase]

@thesandqueen my deepest condolences to you. Walt, thank you for serving in one of the most difficult wartimes in history .. rest in peace. pls take good care of yourself, Vera.

God Bless Walt and you too Vera. May he be blessed eternally for his service. Stay strong sister, he would want you to be. Much love

mother 2many

[suudsuz]

@thesandqueen what a puss puss

[mistershoopdawoop]

[DivineCord]

@thesandqueen

Please accept my prayers, He is home at a point where peace, love, and comfort come as a sure package when all needs are met, and joy is the state of being, God bless your brother's soul and he is in comfort.

[wscottAlways]

@thesandqueen Vera sorry you lost your brother I to lost my brother the same way, often wonder way but intill these people who make asshole remarks walk in thier shoes or been through what they have seen and done need to keep thier remarks to themselves. take care.

[jstar3293]

@wscottAlways well coming from me, an occasional asshole, people do it because they don't want to look at comments on youtube about tragedies or peoples problems.. its just tiresome when every song you look up has the first page full of replies for something like that, it wears on people

personally, i dont understand why people feel the need to post stuff like that to the internet,, just dont get that

[SustaTeresa]

Vera, I am so sorry to hear about your brother Walt. I know it's really hard on you, especially this time of the year. I will remember you in prayer for comfort and peace. I know Walt was a hero for you as well as one for folks who appreciate what he has done for this country. Walt you will be missed and always remembered.

[condor12341]

@thesandqueen MY GRANDPA WAS IN VIETNAM SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT IM SURE HE WAS A GREAT PERSON

[mother2many]

@thesandqueen

Hon you have my sincerest sympathies for your brother Walt. I wish him a loving journey "Into the Mystic" and for you sweetie nothing but happy memories of him.

M2M

[AbbyNormal777]

@thesandqueen Bless his soul & yours as well.

[cosazoo]

@thesandqueen Sorry for your loss

[knutz7]

@thesandqueen ............I stand and salute you sir. R.I.P. thankyou for your sacrifice,

[Fruitloop186]

@thesandqueen Oh sweet baby..I lost a lot of friends to that hell of a war..My heart is with you and God bless Walt, I hope he is at peace now

[odogc]

[wrockman]

@rtenewsonone U2...

[j1001s27sw]

@rtenewsonone my apologies to leaving a comment with bad language (I removed it); his comment towards the lady who's brother took his own life was out of line and insensitive. He's probably some kid who had not developed the ethics and social behaviors to realize that you don't leave those kinds of remarks. Once again, my apologies and thank you for sharing this song.

[NewWaveFan1]

@rtenewsonone Merry xmas war is now over (IRAQ).

[ReviewCam]

@rtenewsonone Happy New year!

[fryerel]

[1234roadking1]

I woke up one morning hung over at womans place and she was dancing to this song naked-she was in playboy in the mid 80's-never forget that night-thank you u know who u r

[cdancableman]

heavy tune

[Fizzy5pringwater]

somehow, I think I first heard this in a movie. Sometimes, I judge movies now by their soundtracks.

[Comedysub77]

@Fizzy5pringwater Me too, lol. Everytime I watch a movie now I go look up the soundtracks to find my favorite songs.

[DantheMan28821]

too late to stop now.........

[skunkpep]

i was born in 1990 who cares bout when you were born, good music transcends generations

[stupidheadedzombies]

I was a pall bearer for my late and dearly loved grandfather who was a great great lover and composer of music. This is the song we carried him out to. Hope your enjoying your journey through the great and mystical unknown Bob, miss you heaps. Nothing is ever destroyed, it simply flows from one form to another. For me, you are in the music. Pleasant journeys all. Peace, Love, Light, Always.

[MsDeeRanged]

@stupidheadedzombies this is planned for mine as well...good choice.

[wimvdwalt1953]

@stupidheadedzombies

Hi , You could not have done it more soulfully.

Wim

[PATTYTR333S]

@stupidheadedzombies So sorry for your loss.Whata great tribute song-prayers to you & your family.Patty

[sexyuneda]

@stupidheadedzombies

Great song to be carried out on....I am going to request this one as well....keep your grandfather in your heart and into the mystic!!!

[jdpjr1962]

@stupidheadedzombies you bring tears to my eyes...and its beautiful!

[irurwurst]

Lol, Karl Pilkington?  Going to subscribe just for that. : )

[585ActionSportsTV]

born in 1995. this is my fucking jam. <3

[eboycoolz]

cool song, first i heard it on american pie 3

and it's so sweet scene :)

[bobbiewatt]

THIS IS THE BOMB!!!!! I HAD THIS SONG PLAYED AT MY WEDDING IN 2006 , IT HAS SO MUCH MEANING AND SOUL

[MrSlimjimk]

some say the lyrics veer towards hippy gibberish, but Van's voice made me believe. My gypsy soul was indeed rocked

[heyman29323]

And I believe the lyric ere the bonnie boat was won has always been written wrong - maybe. He sings it like ere the bonnie boat was one. The bonnie boat being the metaphor for life. Just specuating this part. But sure of my earlier comments.

[heyman29323]

The song: we've always existed. Energy, which is everything. Sorry to sound all new age. You can't create or destroy it (our senses don't allow us to remember before we were born) At a subatomic level everything that exists is the same. The mystic=god. This, a sailing metaphor for it. The bible says you'll hear a trumpet (the fog horn) before you go back into it. A sun (a star) came first in another universe that imploded on itself (the big bang) and started ours. No beginning, no end

[kaktisbalaktikakel]

Am a moody bastard too, but this song comes from a lovers heart. ya talented prick ye. :)

[SventhHeaven]

@kaktisbalaktikakel  cute :)

[meanczar]

loving this song.. this is gona be our 1st dance at our wedding :) thnks Van xx

[AubreeLikesWaffles]

Like this if you're younger the 16 listening to this..[=

[The99candles]

I love this song ...It's my fav and second would have to be Beside You.....and together we will float into the mystic !!!

[rtenewsonone]

Remember Van fans! You can turn off the lyrics (If you want to) by clicking on the red speech bubble. You can find it on the bottom right of the video screen, just left of 360p.

ENJOY!

[bjhcohen]

@rtenewsonone what a nice surprise - my first Van Morrison recording -and twas special!

[seeburg220]

This comes from a time when people actually wrote songs. A masterpiece !

[drobles394]

[rexsaw]

Van has been kickin out good tunes since the early 1960's, he's awesome. When his time passes he will truely be missed as one of the great all time musicians.

[NoFan77]

give me a bonfire, with sand and mountains.. not north dakota
