You do realise that the photos of Coney Island you have in your video are not the Coney Island that Van was talking about, don't you? You have Coney Island in Lough Neagh whereas he was talking about Coney Island in County Down.

@guildster1 Unfortunately I did not know, and now feel I have soiled a few peoples ideas about northern Ireland. I feel a little foolish now.

I can't believe that this clip has over 17,000 views to date! Thanks to everyone who has left a comment and I am glad so many people love this track as much as I do. Peace and love to yo all x

Thanks for the comments, I have many of the same feelings about this song. Never wanting certain days of my life to end, wishing perfection could last forever. I am sorry the video is a bit rubbish, but i realised after loads of searching that this beautiful song was missing from youtub so i had to knock something up!! I am so glad you guys, or girls, have enjoyed it.

Thanks. Been waiting for this. This & Cypress Ave are my fave 2 Van tracks. Dissapointed when I paid to see him locally, think set was 68 minutes, he hardly engaged audience. However, this one track always stuck in my mind. Evocative and emotive. Makes me think back to when I was a kid & what that felt like, never wanting a good day to end. What makes some things special is, you can't keep them & you always somehow know that . You have to appreciate the moment & have the strength to let it go.

Folks, you can see the real Coney Island of which Van sang about in the recent Oscar winning short film 'The Shore' written by Terry George and starring Ciaran Hynds, which was shown on the BBC last night !

"Wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time?" - yes Van, it would be perfect.

Hi Rich, take a wee look at my feeble effort

[hughesste]

@richjl73 Don't worry too much mate. If you can change it great. If not then folks need to go and see the beauty of the place rarely known outside of Northern Ireland. Was there recently and it's stunning. Time you shared it with the rest of us.
