VAN MORRISON Bright Side of the Road

[fairyso]

so cool

[wenban1989]

reminds me of fever pitch, quality film, brilliant tune

[SeptemberRain11]

I love this song. I love most of Van Morrison's songs. For some reason's even upbeat songs like this can give me a little bit of a tear in my eye. That's not a bad thing.

[KrfNYC2]

Money.

[Countrygent100]

Who needs Prozac...?  Play this instead!!

[BomberVan61]

@Countrygent100 Isn't that the truth! :)

[airilove17]

My first hearing this song was in the move "Michael" played by John Travolta. I love it.

[JEANNEBOLEYN]

Reminds me of my trips to Belfast in the 1980s

[mikeshoe74]

This song was never as popular as it should be

[modesty1988]

[ozawablog]

I want this video on my C36 phone.

[FloEMsEllieex]

This came on at my older brothers wedding. And all of us, Me mum dad and both my brothers, gatherd in the middle, and dad said ''He came after all'' the other people must have thought we were mad...

this was our uncle pauls favourite song , it reflects his personality perfectly, he was always happy, and by hearing this, it makes us happy. he died almost 7 years ago. he meant alot to me and my brothers, because he was the only relative of dads who visited, religiously every weekend. R.I.P uncle P

[levishort36]

This video went viral on Solomon Islands

[kasbersky]

I would have never heard this song or even knew about Van Morrison if I didn't take a stroll in the supermarket today... so... fate brought me here :)

[paulkate72]

@kasbersky - Your life, it seems sir, has been sadly lacking in the finer things! Now that you've discovered Van the Man it will never be the same again!!

[BomberVan61]

@wvpatchouli  This song could make the GRUMPIEST person smile!

[Deadhead016]

This song was our "get ready to enjoy the weekend" Every Thursday in college, when the room went into weekend mode and everything was forgotten about until... We crossed that road! "enjoyed it while we could"

[zipcomm]

Mainstream radio sucks so bad. How many times do you hear this type of music on the radio ???? Thus I -Pod was invented....and still nothing but the same old garbage on the radio....Corporate big shots never listen...

[Vidman459]

[frenchexperience]

@008devlin ha ha such wit!

[jackpark7927]

You guys remember when the John Travolta movie "Michael" closed with this? It was like putting a couple of extra cherries on a hot fudge sundae. What a great song! What a great artist? What a super movie!

[greenfulvia]

@jackpark7927

I was just thinking of that yesterday when listening to this!! It's my family's song (also Brown-eyed girl), and it was just wonderful to have this at the end of Michael. I love that film.

[wiess01]

My Mum's favourite song when she was my age. Love it! <3

[sueschoice]

Ditto...

[haesdahut]

[sirronald69]

[leftylena2002]

love you Van....

[duddu1111]

I like it in 2:43 when Morrison suddenly become's an old blackman.

[drsguitar]

@duddu1111 haha, so i'm not the only one who thought that. good to know

[frenchexperience]

@duddu1111 pardon me is that Honor Blackman's dad? or er brother? what is an old blackman?

[duddu1111]

@frenchexperience An old blackman is a colored (or afro-american, if you want) man with a high age (old). Like Louis Armstrong.

[spareaxe]

@duddu1111 LOL....

[Janette2910]

Thanks for posting a clear version of The Bright Side of the Road! :)
