    I'm not a van morrison fan at all but I just wanna say that the song he did on "The Last Waltz" movie just really annoys me. I can't explain it, but it just irratates me. I guess this is a pointless post

    Maybe a common place, but gotta say "Sweet Thing"... everything from Astral Weeks... simply amazing (except for Cyprus Avenue, 'cause the version on It's Too Late to Stop Now leaves me breathless).

    Probably Caravan....but really anything from Moondance will work. :)

    And It Stoned Me is great.....so is Crazy Love....so is Moondance itself. :)

    Almost impossible to choose. It was Sweet Thing for a long long time and I still think it's one of the best songs ever written, up there with Shelter From The Storm by Dylan...

    I'll pick five current faves cus I can't pick one:

    Hymns to the Silence
    Ballerina
    In The Garden
    Wavelength
    Queen of the Slipstream

    I just like absolutely everything he does. Breathtaking.

    one of THE greatest albums of all time, imho, is moondance. also one of the greatest songs ever written as well. :cool: gorgeous, beautiful, moody....and downright sexy.


    Moondance

    Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
    With the stars up above in your eyes
    A fantabulous night to make romance
    ’neath the cover of october skies
    And all the leaves on the trees are falling
    To the sound of the breezes that blow
    And I’m trying to please to the calling
    Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
    And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
    And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush


    Can I just have one a’ more moondance with you, my love
    Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love


    Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
    I can’t wait ’til the morning has come
    And I know that the time is just right
    And straight into my arms you will run
    And when you come my heart will be waiting
    To make sure that you’re never alone
    There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
    There and then I will make you my own
    And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
    And I know how much you want me that you can’t hide


    Can I just have one a’ more moondance with you, my love
    Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love


    Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
    With the stars up above in your eyes
    A fantabulous night to make romance
    ’neath the cover of october skies
    And all the leaves on the trees are falling
    To the sound of the breezes that blow
    And I’m trying to please to the calling
    Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
    And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
    And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

    One more moondance with you in the moonlight
    On a magic night
    La, la, la, la in the moonlight
    On a magic night
    Can’t I just have one more dance with you my love
    i'll ride the wave where it takes me

    I love Crazy love... ever since I heard a girl on an Irish 'pop idol' kinda thing sing a Norah Jones kinda version of it... it was gorgeous.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    Wavelength has to be one of my faves by the Man. It took me forever and a day to find that disc.

    My other faves that I like to pick from an albums are: Full Force Gail and Glad Tidings. It helps that I can play the harmonica to the sax in Glad Tidings too. ;)

    A true artist that you can just chill with the entire album and not have to worry about skipping a bad song.



    For the guy/girl who couldn't dig Van the Man on the Last Waltz.......turn it up, radio, got soul!!! :)

    :) Van the the man! I could pretty much put on any album and just sit back and enjoy. Of course, Moondance is a great tune but I also enjoy Into The Mystic...I like Tupelo Honey, Days Like This, Did Ye Get Healed, ooo and Spanish Rose!!! :) My recent fave is Blue Money though--so much fun and the tune behind the "doo-doo-ya-doo's" in that song is the Sesame Street theme, I swear!!! :D
