I will be getting married on sept 8 th, and I have to say that the words and lyrics to this song definetly hit home, look very forward to dancing with my husband to this song.
I will be getting married on September 17. This is the song my fiance and I chose as our first dance. I thank my father for introducing me to such a great voice.
This has always been my favorite song -- no other song, and not even this song by any other artist than Van Morrison, moves me as much. The photography in this video is stunning! Thanks so much for such an entertaining production!
I use to dance to this song, alone in my living room with big crocodile tears falling with every step.. knowing it was written just for me... Then in 1987 I met that Someone.. I fell in love with a man who moved me without even a touch... He became my Wind and me his Chimes...And he makes me sing still... I love you Wind.... Chimes
This was my song for someone special.... Then it became our song for each other.... We were supposed to be together "forever"..... Had to pause listening to this song as my heart is totally broken.... I wish only the best to 2 people who can make this song their own.... For I die little more inside each time I listen to it....
After being divorced for 21 years thought I'd found someone. We clicked so well for a couple of months then she said "no chemistry". She'd been divorced for 25 years, by choice I think. Been wanting to send her this song in an attempt to make an intense impression on her heart. It is not good for man to be alone-the Bible, God's words.
Amazing how we can come from all different walks of life and yet when it comes to matters of the heart and being in love we can all come together with the same song playing...someone like you.
Van touches my heart...I am still alone ...looking for someone like you...
If not the best, this is certainly one of this poet's very best..Van is one of the most under-appreciated artists of our time..and perhaps he likes it that way..he doesn't pursue the spotlight..he merely expresses his experiences and what's inside his heart..a very special person, indeed...
@MaliOrtega27 U CAN NOT EXPECT THIS GENERATION 2 COMPARE 2 THE OLD ONE! THERE AREN'T ANY SAM COOKE'S, MARVIN GAYE'S, ETTA JAMES, VAN MORRISON'S, ERIC CLAPTON'S, JOHN LENNON'S, I COULD GO ON AND ON BUT I'LL BE HERE ALL FUCKING DAY LOL.. STILL, JUST BECAUSE THIS 2000-2012 MUSIC SUCKS, AND DOESN'T COMPARE, DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULD HATE ON THEM!
@MaliOrtega27 - Justin Bieber is not an artist...just a teeny bopper idol. His so-called singing is not what I call a true artist. He has a lot of growing up to do and is a bit cocky for someone his age. His music career will be short-lived....
Check this AMAZING Someone Like You cover out! "Someone Like You (cover)- Andrew, Hollie, and Makaila". Its performed by 2 singers and a pianist. They did the cover in a State Of The Arts Auditorium! Go, go, go! Its amazing!
TYS for the 22 up thumbs y'all...and upon further reflection i would like to add this: how is it that this song was NOT a chart-topping international hit? what could van do to make this song a little MORE soulful...beautiful...elegant...how could he? how can anyone make the perfect more so? i swear to God i am a better person for having listened to this song
Van is the last of the great's. His touring is pretty erratic these days but i have been lucky enough to see him 4 times and they have all been memorable nights.
man i really relate to this tune until i found my wifemary it was a long and troubled journy but it was well worth the wait 15 years later i still love her more today than than when we first meet
the hospital killed my mother3-3-11. my 18 yr daghter gt into heroine.my moter was my partner as my daughter. dated a stripper. found a quasi- nice gal,. she plays this for us. van the man is a white soulman,let him touch ur soul
This is what an artist sounds like when he channels the muse for mere mortals to hear what's always been there and is ever here. Van has a gift that lets us feel it
While everybody’s crazy about Adele’s “Someone like you,” I still think Van Morrison’s version is more suitable for the song title. This is my opinion, you can agree or disagree, but please listen to the lyrics, listen to the song all the way through, and you'll see why.
Van Morrison is a musical poet,, he writes from his heart, and when we listen to the lyric we relate from the heart. Someone like you gives us hope, and we all are looking for that perfect someone for ourselves. Lets face it we all need someone to love. and to you the Shaneshar, you are not alone my friend.
@MICRO MY WIFE PASSED A FEW YEARS AGO , I FOUND THIS SONG ADDRESS TO ME EVERYTIME I PLAY IT I FEEL HER NEXT TO ME, OH GOD HOW I MISS HER, BEST PARTNER AND FRIEND THAT I EVER HAD, I THANK YOU GOD FOR LETTING ME MEET HER..................................
someone 'almost' ruined my love for this song...wondering if I'd ever feel this way again..this man was a true downer...I LOVE life and everything it has to offer...to spend time with someone who doesn't make it all worthwhile is a waste...I'll never do it again...xoxox
I feel this song to my being when I think about Lori and we are doing okay and then I become very sad when things are not going right. That is when the soul searching begins....
@brightchance Someone 'almost' ruined this for me too...but, no one will ever ruin another thing for me....unless I Iet them....bring on the next beautiful person I meet and I swear they won't ruin it either-- we DO have a choice....it IS YOURS....believe it
I've been lucky enough to have both listened to Van sing this song and also to find that someone like you. As I have been blessed, so I hope all who listen to this song will be too.
I met a wonderfull guy. And I hope one day to be in a white dress, this song playing, and knowing that someone loves me as much as van morrison must have loved the women he made this for :)
the one who is in the picture the famous one....and someone like you who stands alone. One who is like the moon and one who is like the sun, someone like you...Like a tree that is surrounded by many trees and a tree that stand in the desert alone surviving the hardship of life.
this song makes me think of a girl who i think i am falling for i met her online from a town i know very well i havent had much luck with woman in the past and even tho i have said this befour i do believe this one is different we talk alot we call each other and share alot of the same intrests i know im young only 23 but i have had my fun i want something special
For those of us who love and appreciate our own company - this is the ultimate opulent indulgence. Shoes off, pour a glass of wine, lie back and chill. Beautiful song from a beautiful man.
remember hearing this 9 years ago in the back seat of my parents care. I was 11 then, and i just fell in love with his voice and his way of expressen himself. He is for me the greatest artist. From that day I have heard his music everynight before i went to bed.
Men stick up for men "Dirk" and "Shane"! So typical of men to be so cruel and heartless when it comes to a woman's past love and heart break. So 'you' need to get over it and leave me alone and stop picking on me and making the judgemental comments that you are about me. There will be no more replies made back to you or any others who have something harsh to say to me too. It really hurts to know how mean people can be to another. Thanks for all your care, love and support. Pfffff!!!! Ciao!
Hope you feel better now DirkjeA. If you "really" knew me you wouldn't have made those last comments about me. Talk about misjudging. Never thought my own comment and heart break on the song would bring so much anger towards me from another human being. Now I really wished I would've kept my own feelings to myself. How cruel some people can be such as you. Geez! Glad to know everyone loves you and your buddy who has had 31 people's very touching comments made about his. Wonderful! Truly!
To peacefulblonde39: Thank you :) Yes! Oh my Yes! It "is" very hard for us to try and live our lives without our "Someone" special! Sure is! Thanks for taking the time to share your feelings and comment with me. Trulyl appreciate it and You! :)
Hope you have your someone special now. If not, don't give up. Pray to God for Him to bring that Special Someone into your life and 9 out of 10 times it WILL happen! :) I know that's what I keep doing :) But if not, LIFE still goes on.
If anyone else has anything negative or judgemental to say I won't comment again as it's really not worth someones time.
God Bless ALL human beings on this earth (even the bad ones) because we are ALL God's children. We need to pray for one another and spread PEACE through out the world and not hurt and give pain to each other.
People really need to THINK about what they are going to say on You Tube to others comments before typing and posting. We are all human beings and have feelings. I don't judge people and I certainly don't know how they are feeling or what they are going through as I can ONLY imagine and be sympathetic towards their feelings and experiences in life. We all mustn't judge others and do the same. Just try and put yourself in their shoes - if it's possible for some to do - and imagine how you'd feel
@EmeraldJade66 Maybe thinking before judging and reading right goes for you too. Not judging people? The Shanestar meant well.He told you he suffered the same loss of his beloved wife and that he understood your sorrow. He also said that after a long period of grieve he found another love, he realised that the loved one he lost would not want him to be sad and lonely anymore.He also told you,and maybe that was out of line,that the one you loved and lost would want the same for you
@DirkjeA Ofcourse he doesnot know what your Robert said on his deadbed,that is not of any ones interest.But if you call his well meant reply insensitive you should be ashamed of yourself. The fact that I answered him that I found his comment one of the most touching ones I red on YT had nothing to do with you.I didnot even react on anything you commented before reading your insults.You are not judging, ha get real. I am sorry for your loss, but that doesn't give you the right to jerk ppl off
@DirkjeA And by the way, I just saw now there are 31 other ppl that found his comment very touching.
Are you going to call them insensitive too? Seems to me you are the only one that missunderstood an honest and well meant comment. Nuf said, right you are.
I know there's always bad seeds in the world. Unfortunately we are subjected to them here on You Tube. So sad!
And also to TheShaneshar's comment to me: I KNOW that life goes on and one must not live in the past and as for my Robert and the comment you made about he wouldn't want me to go on with my Love for him only that he would want me to move on and share it with someone else TRUE but.... you don't know what he said to me on his death bed. Enough said!
To mibubi11's comment. I appreciate your concern for me and for taking the time to comment on my comments about my past love but just wanted you to know I'm truly not living in the dark STILL. I think a few people have gotten me the wrong way on here. ESPECIALLY ocwelch1 as well as DirkjeA and I quote "if I would wish anyone the best it would be YOU!" to theshaneshar. Very very insensitive towards OTHERS! EVERYONE should be wished THE VERY BEST! Not just ONE commenter/person. Unreal :(
To saturn18rawr, THANK YOU! I wish you all the best and know that I care! :)
It does hurt and even though that hurt NEVER heals or goes away because we miss our one and only loves we're just stronger and better for the wonderful gift we were given from God - TRUE LOVE! :) We experienced it and know how it really feels and how very blessed we were. Maybe we both can have it again.
We just need to keep on praying and have FAITH! :) God Bless you and others who have experienced the same! :)
I don't COMPARE my past Love Robert to anyone else - HOW COULD I? There IS no comparison. Actually I shouldn't even take the time to comment back on yours but I wanted to clear the record for all who are insensitive to ones feelings, Life DOES go on and I AM HAPPY!! I just MISS the only love I ever had and knew. Anything WRONG with that???
To all of the others who have replied me with POSITIVE feedback comments BLESS YOU ALL for sharing my feelings and letting me know yours. Hugs! :)
This is to Commenters: theshaneshar, Dirkjea and especially ocwelch1,
Thanks for being very insensitive to ones feelings. You don't know a thing about me and it was very very hurtful what you said in your comment(s) towards me.
You don't know how I'm living my life NOW. I just made the comment about my one and only because it was what I was feeling at the time and just felt I wanted to share it with others because of this beautiful song but to ocwelch for your info to clear the record ...
@EmeraldJade66 I don't know what you are talking about. My comment was for theshaneshar whom I wished well and I quote: To @TheShaneshar : " This is one of the most touching replies I have ever red on You Tube. If ever I would wish someone all the best it is you, who has found the courage to go on with your life and the love in your heart to share this with another human being who needs it"
Sorry, but this had nothing to do with you, not everybody is commenting only on your post sweety
Thanks for your comment mrsblobby100! Yes I do agree that's the same with me too. It's the first time I ever heard this song (Only the Lonely , Candy movie). It's truly the most beautiful and memorable. Van's other songs are great too. God Bless!
I adore all of van's music, but this is by far one of my favorites! The lyrics speak to my soul and that voice is amazing. There's no musician like van morrison and never will be! He's the best of the best, by far ...
I recently met a wonderful man called Martin.Today he sent the words to this song through on a txt while i was at work.When i read them it said everything.He is so lovely and we have fallen in love.We did not think that either of us would love agan.How wrong we were.This will become our song.It is so beautiful.Just like my man.
I am so, so, so, very sorry for you ,but my dear, you must Step into the Light ,,,step into the light ,,, and out of the cold ,dark, EmeraldJade and share that Love with the World. Your path is not over and we are here but for one reason and that is to love and evolve along the sojourn. Embrace your world ;you probably have so much to give because of the love your were so fortunate to share with Robert.
i just got married on the 15th of october 2011 & this was the song we chose to dance 2 as husband & wife. its a beautiful,romantic & touching song & i just love it!!!
Thanks MsBebo1998 for your reply to my comment. So true! So true! There is ONLY ONE love that stands out from the crowd and it's wonderful to know that you too have experienced it! Also liked what you said to at the end of your reply comment and that is: You can spot a fake because of the great love you knew - oh yes! Me too and that's why I'm still single. There's so many men in the world but only a few who's a real man who's loving, caring, consistant, trustworthy, etc... Thanks! :) Gd Bless!
in 1988 i went to work in germany, met and fell inlove with a german lady , her name was conne, we shared a love ive never had before or since, connie died in jan 1991 ,she was 27 , now i am 50 , every time i hear this song i cry , love you connie, tim
Van... I never comment on videos but I felt compelled. I ADORE this song... I'm 22 and have never had a romance or anything close to one... Lately its been on my mind more than ever and it feels hopeless. But when I listen to this it fills me with hope that one day I will be singing along to this at my wedding and sincerely mean every word of it. Thanks for a truly amazing song.
That is So touching,..& unfortunatly Familiar,....I lost my wife ,..many years ago,..she was 32,....& after many Years of Sorrow,..I came to realise,..that THIS,..is not what she would have wanted,..Go Meet someone,..Get on with Life,..your "Robert",...wouldn't want you to be So Sad,....I wish You,..the Best,...
@TheShaneshar This is one of the most touching replies I have ever red on You Tube. If ever I would wish someone all the best it is you, who has found the courage to go on with your life and the love in your heart to share this with another human being who needs it.
I lost the love of my life 10 years ago, she divorced me........ which makes things even worse cos shes still around............ with someone new now, My 3 beauitful children still love me and they were heartbroken too in the beginning but now Time and God has healed our brokenness and we can laugh and every moment we spend together and every moment is special...
Thank God I have Him to fall back on otherwise I don't know what I would do
@TheShaneshar reagire si bisogna reagire... penso ke se non ci fossero stati quegli anni di dolore.. di tristezza ... e di rassegnazione non potresti riuscire a superare.... il tuo sentirti dolorante... triste.... ti auguro il meglio.... !!!! Mary
That was beautiful. My wife passed two years ago and was the very best friend I ever had. I don't expect to replace her but there is someone out there with their own specialness who we will both find. God bless and thanks for the comments, it helps to know that you're not alone in this world. Again, thanks.
@TheShaneshar Hope it helps God looked around His garden And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home
Thanks so very much for your reply to my comment on the loss of my former eternal love. I truly appreciate it more than you know! God blesses us in so many ways but I believe the one true gift He's given man kind was the gift of Love and someone to Love.
It means so much to know that people truly care and can relate to what you've gone through and give back in return their true deep heart felt feelings in thought and words. Thank you! :)
Van Morrison responds: "Keep worshipping me like a god, of course, but please, from a distance. Because I know I'm just a singer with a bad disposition who'd rather be left alone with a Guinness. P.S. Keep buying my records."
This is along the same line as this song and the words are so unbelievably beautiful and melodic! I feel so nostalgic everytime I hear Van Morrison's song and Bob Segar's. Both just touch me so deep and bring tears to my eyes for the true love I once had and experienced and for the ever lasting love I seek today.
I dedicate both songs to ALL out there searching for their ONE AND ONLY TRUE ETERNAL LOVE!

someone 'almost' ruined my love for this song...wondering if I'd ever feel this way again..this man was a true downer...I LOVE life and everything it has to offer...to spend time with someone who doesn't make it all worthwhile is a waste...I'll never do it again...xoxox

I've been lucky enough to have both listened to Van sing this song and also to find that someone like you. As I have been blessed, so I hope all who listen to this song will be too.

the one who is in the picture the famous one....and someone like you who stands alone. One who is like the moon and one who is like the sun, someone like you...Like a tree that is surrounded by many trees and a tree that stand in the desert alone surviving the hardship of life.

remember hearing this 9 years ago in the back seat of my parents care. I was 11 then, and i just fell in love with his voice and his way of expressen himself. He is for me the greatest artist. From that day I have heard his music everynight before i went to bed.

Men stick up for men "Dirk" and "Shane"! So typical of men to be so cruel and heartless when it comes to a woman's past love and heart break. So 'you' need to get over it and leave me alone and stop picking on me and making the judgemental comments that you are about me. There will be no more replies made back to you or any others who have something harsh to say to me too. It really hurts to know how mean people can be to another. Thanks for all your care, love and support. Pfffff!!!! Ciao!

Hope you feel better now DirkjeA. If you "really" knew me you wouldn't have made those last comments about me. Talk about misjudging. Never thought my own comment and heart break on the song would bring so much anger towards me from another human being. Now I really wished I would've kept my own feelings to myself. How cruel some people can be such as you. Geez! Glad to know everyone loves you and your buddy who has had 31 people's very touching comments made about his. Wonderful! Truly!

Hope you have your someone special now. If not, don't give up. Pray to God for Him to bring that Special Someone into your life and 9 out of 10 times it WILL happen! :) I know that's what I keep doing :) But if not, LIFE still goes on.
Bless you! Hugs

People really need to THINK about what they are going to say on You Tube to others comments before typing and posting. We are all human beings and have feelings. I don't judge people and I certainly don't know how they are feeling or what they are going through as I can ONLY imagine and be sympathetic towards their feelings and experiences in life. We all mustn't judge others and do the same. Just try and put yourself in their shoes - if it's possible for some to do - and imagine how you'd feel
EmeraldJade66 3 months ago
@EmeraldJade66 Maybe thinking before judging and reading right goes for you too. Not judging people? The Shanestar meant well.He told you he suffered the same loss of his beloved wife and that he understood your sorrow. He also said that after a long period of grieve he found another love, he realised that the loved one he lost would not want him to be sad and lonely anymore.He also told you,and maybe that was out of line,that the one you loved and lost would want the same for you
DirkjeA 3 months ago
@DirkjeA Ofcourse he doesnot know what your Robert said on his deadbed,that is not of any ones interest.But if you call his well meant reply insensitive you should be ashamed of yourself. The fact that I answered him that I found his comment one of the most touching ones I red on YT had nothing to do with you.I didnot even react on anything you commented before reading your insults.You are not judging, ha get real. I am sorry for your loss, but that doesn't give you the right to jerk ppl off
DirkjeA 3 months ago
@DirkjeA And by the way, I just saw now there are 31 other ppl that found his comment very touching.
Are you going to call them insensitive too? Seems to me you are the only one that missunderstood an honest and well meant comment. Nuf said, right you are.
DirkjeA 3 months ago
I know there's always bad seeds in the world. Unfortunately we are subjected to them here on You Tube. So sad!
And also to TheShaneshar's comment to me: I KNOW that life goes on and one must not live in the past and as for my Robert and the comment you made about he wouldn't want me to go on with my Love for him only that he would want me to move on and share it with someone else TRUE but.... you don't know what he said to me on his death bed. Enough said!

To mibubi11's comment. I appreciate your concern for me and for taking the time to comment on my comments about my past love but just wanted you to know I'm truly not living in the dark STILL. I think a few people have gotten me the wrong way on here. ESPECIALLY ocwelch1 as well as DirkjeA and I quote "if I would wish anyone the best it would be YOU!" to theshaneshar. Very very insensitive towards OTHERS! EVERYONE should be wished THE VERY BEST! Not just ONE commenter/person. Unreal :(

To saturn18rawr, THANK YOU! I wish you all the best and know that I care! :)
It does hurt and even though that hurt NEVER heals or goes away because we miss our one and only loves we're just stronger and better for the wonderful gift we were given from God - TRUE LOVE! :) We experienced it and know how it really feels and how very blessed we were. Maybe we both can have it again.
We just need to keep on praying and have FAITH! :) God Bless you and others who have experienced the same! :)

I don't COMPARE my past Love Robert to anyone else - HOW COULD I? There IS no comparison. Actually I shouldn't even take the time to comment back on yours but I wanted to clear the record for all who are insensitive to ones feelings, Life DOES go on and I AM HAPPY!! I just MISS the only love I ever had and knew. Anything WRONG with that???
To all of the others who have replied me with POSITIVE feedback comments BLESS YOU ALL for sharing my feelings and letting me know yours. Hugs! :)

This is to Commenters: theshaneshar, Dirkjea and especially ocwelch1,
Thanks for being very insensitive to ones feelings. You don't know a thing about me and it was very very hurtful what you said in your comment(s) towards me.
You don't know how I'm living my life NOW. I just made the comment about my one and only because it was what I was feeling at the time and just felt I wanted to share it with others because of this beautiful song but to ocwelch for your info to clear the record ...

Also liked what you said to at the end of your reply comment and that is: You can spot a fake because of the great love you knew - oh yes! Me too and that's why I'm still single. There's so many men in the world but only a few who's a real man who's loving, caring, consistant, trustworthy, etc... Thanks! :) Gd Bless!

Van... I never comment on videos but I felt compelled. I ADORE this song... I'm 22 and have never had a romance or anything close to one... Lately its been on my mind more than ever and it feels hopeless. But when I listen to this it fills me with hope that one day I will be singing along to this at my wedding and sincerely mean every word of it. Thanks for a truly amazing song.
The best IS yet to come :)

Thank God I have Him to fall back on otherwise I don't know what I would do

That was beautiful. My wife passed two years ago and was the very best friend I ever had. I don't expect to replace her but there is someone out there with their own specialness who we will both find. God bless and thanks for the comments, it helps to know that you're not alone in this world. Again, thanks.

Thanks so very much for your reply to my comment on the loss of my former eternal love. I truly appreciate it more than you know! God blesses us in so many ways but I believe the one true gift He's given man kind was the gift of Love and someone to Love.
It means so much to know that people truly care and can relate to what you've gone through and give back in return their true deep heart felt feelings in thought and words. Thank you! :)
Blessings to you and yours Always!

Listen to Bob Segar's Living Inside My Heart.
This is along the same line as this song and the words are so unbelievably beautiful and melodic! I feel so nostalgic everytime I hear Van Morrison's song and Bob Segar's. Both just touch me so deep and bring tears to my eyes for the true love I once had and experienced and for the ever lasting love I seek today.
I dedicate both songs to ALL out there searching for their ONE AND ONLY TRUE ETERNAL LOVE!
