Into the Mystic for sure! Also Wild Night, Domino, Sweet Thing and Gloria from when he was in a band called Them, The Doors liked that song so much that they covered it.
Into the Mystic, Full Force Gale, Days Like This, Tupelo Honey, Have I Told You Lately, I Forgot That Love Existed, Gloria and I Shall Sing. Basically anything ever written or performed by Van, including the entirety of this album.
What made the 70's so exciting was the huge variation in what was popular, or even how a band's individual personality might be expressed differently in different types of songs. So this jazzy piece was a hit at the same time as songs like *Bridge Over Troubled Water, American Woman, War, Let it Be, Spirit in the Sky, 25 or 6 to 4,* and *Lola* from *The Kinks.*
The best thing about "Moondance" is that it shows just how versatile rock can be. The genre is a conglomerate of so many different styles that if the artist is really good, you never know what you're going to get.
Van has a very vast catalog of tunes. He's Irish and does rock n roll, the blues, jazz. You name it. He also plays multiple instruments ( including the sax) and wrote some the best tunes ever! I've seen him twice. A true master of all genres of music
Van Morison started his carreer in 1963 in Belfast (North-Ireland) as singer of the beat (pop) group Them. They became very popular here in the Netherlands and after the group broke up, Van made a special tour in the Netherlands with a Dutch band singing Them songs. I was one of the people organising this tour. After that he moved to the USA for his solo carreer and performed with many different people in a variation of music genres. Blues with Joh Lee Hooker was one of them. Frequently he went back to Ireland and performed with the Chieftains singing Irish songs. He is a very good musician and performer but a very grumpy man
Not as he envisioned it Listen to it again and imagine he's singing that at his wife's grave. "Can I just have one more moondance with you,my love?" hits differently.
Moondance is still rock. It’s very jazzy, but still rocks! For another good example of this, check out the song Jimmy Jazz, off of The Clash’s London Calling album. Love watching you guys. Peace
Van started playing saxephone at age 13.Played jazz in clubs until his 1st rock band at age 23.About 50 albums as a solo artist.He did a duet with Ray Charles, and a traditional Irish folk music with the Chieftans. All top drawer productions. Youbetcha.
Van has way too many songs that you could cover - he’s never done a bad album - his voice has matured like a fine wine - still has strength and depth - and what a catalogue he has - I envy anyone that’s just starting to discover him - what a journey
Van The Man with my favorite love song! Van is by nature a rhythm and blues stylist. None better in this style. So many great hits. Some original and some covers that he made them his own!
VAN MORRISON , "MOONDANCE". Back in the late 60's the attention was brought to the public with Van Morrison song "BROWN EYE GIRL". Then I was exposed to what became my favorite track by him. Those Groovy 70's were blessed by one of the coolest tracks ever in "MOONDANCE".. Then in a return trip from the state Basketball tournament, we were listening to a F.M. Rock Station in Madison Wisconsin. There he was, Van Morrison with song I've been waiting patiently to hear reaction to the song,"BLUE MONEY". In a month and a half or so. It will be around 52 years since I first heard this song on the magical night.
Howdy from Texas. Van is equally at home with Jazz, R and B, Soul, folk, you name it. A very eclectic catalog for the Irishman. Into The Mystic is a must. For a lesser known gem, try And The Healing Has Begun.
Van Morrison is one ot the greatest songwriters/artists of the 70s-80s-90s. There are so many of his songs you guys should check out. One of my personal favorites is Into The Mystic.
I grew up with Jazz in my house 'till Buddy Holley came along and took me on another track. I love how Morrison does a Mel Torme type jazzy song here though.
Van Morrison plays the guitar, piano, and a sexophone. It's very versatile. It's hard to put him in a genre of music I would say it's a jazz blues combination.
"Gloria" and "Baby, Please Don't Go", are two songs from '64-'65, when he was in the Belfast group, Them. The former is the band's biggest hit, it got Van noticed, and it's become a standard for every garage band. The latter is a fast Blues Rocker. So, there you go! 😊 A couple more different vibes from Van the man!💯
The great Colin Tilton on sax!! His vocal styling was on point in this song as well unbelievable song, the next song I would do if you already did Tupelo Honey and brown eyed girl is into the Mystic
My desert island fave disc is his first album Astral Weeks. When I think about it, I would include Miles Davis' Kind of Blue; both changed my perception about popular music at the time.
Alan Watts Blues (Cloud Hidden), And it Stoned Me, Astral Weeks, Into the Mystic, Listen to the Lion, Madame George, Philosopher's Stone, Streets of Arklow, These Are the Days and Wavelength - all great Van Morrison songs
One more Van Morrison groove to get lost in is the song Autumn Song. I have never heard a song that caught the felling of Autumn like this song captures. One of my all time favorites from any artist because of the mood it evokes. Special....
I remember this song from the mid 70’s ~~ it was so cool. Thanks for this « blast from the past. » I think I listened to it with my Math major boyfriend. He’s been my husband for 45 years. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
My husband and I met at a party that someone was giving on our dorm’s "floor" one Sunday night in October 1974. I remember thinking that I really shouldn’t have been going to the party because I had so much homework to do to be ready for the next week of classes. When I got to the party, I realized that this kind of cute guy was the only person I didn’t know; apparently I was the same to him! Richard graduated in May 1976, I stayed on because I wasn’t quite finished with my degree…he started his first post college job…I prepared so hard for my Senior Flute Recital -a huge hurdle for sure and presented it. I remember being sort of bewildered the whole Fall semester in my degree’s final Sight singing/Ear training class. Ugh. After the final exam, I was admonished to "Go Home and Relax," to come back and retake the Exam -- When I returned and did not do any better, I was asked what I’d been doing over break. I replied, "I was relaxing, as you asked me to do.” So I received an F in that class, I, who’d only once even received a C+ -ever- I, a Valedictorian of my HS class. I’d not even realized that I was doing terribly in the class - truly. So I sadly went home to tell Mom and Dad and Richard that I’d failed the class and wasn’t finished with my degree --yet. So I went back that summer, staying with my fiancé’s parents for 3 weeks and traveling each day across Cleveland on public transportation to repeat that class. I took the class as an Independent Study and a nice woman, Joanne Caputo, was my teacher. I got a B+ and I was done. It wasn’t until a lifetime later, while doing research for my MA in Music (Concentration in Music Education) thesis -- in the winter of 2012 - that I realized that I hadn’t been been notified of graduation the following year, that I hadn’t been invited to walk in the ceremony that took place in May 1978. This hit me like a rock - why had they done this to me?? I’d completed every requirement for a the degree. Perhaps I’d slipped through the cracks. Perhaps it was my responsibility to contact CIM about graduating. Why hadn’t they sought me out to walk in that ceremony?? So, when this became clear to me in 2012, I called the conservatory and spoke with an administrator. I asked if I might be able "to walk" in a CIM graduation. He needed to check and told me, "No, you would have needed to do that in the first 5 years after you graduated." I thought, "That’s not really fair, even if it was the school’s rule." I’d been left out - my non-participation was not due an error of my own. I shared my thought and added, "I am a CIM success story. I actually worked in Music. [I’m not sure of CIM’s statistic, but it is a sad truth that many conservatory graduates leave music to make enough money for their family - they just do.] I had retired the previous June from a career as a public school music educator. I had helped children and adolescents learn about music as they learned to play instruments and when they were being readied to do so. I realized that I had applied the knowledge I’d gain in my CIM degree thousands of times in my work as an educator and as a performer. My CIM degree was why I was highly successful at teaching beginning brass [I incorporated solfège in my teaching so that the kids would have a clue as to what the next note they were hoping to play might sound like, ie, that I was teaching them a tiny nugget of "inner hearing."] Or that when I taught First Grade General Music I could include a bit of rhythmic dictation - just a touch -- the kids could do that. [This was likely due to the 2 years of Dalcroze Eurhythmics that I’d taken at CIM.] I was also a graduate who had made contributions to CIM my whole life. never very much, my way to express my thanks for being admitted to CIM, given the opportunity to learn everything I could there, and that I graduated. So, I said to the administrator, "It would be a tremendous kindness to allow me to be a part in a CIM graduation.. I do not even know if I will be able to do so-ever. But if you will not give me that choice, I will never send a contribution again-ever." I learned a short time later that yes, I may walk in a CIM graduation if I wish. I haven’t done so -yet. Perhaps I’ll walk this May. It’s been ten years since I had that discussion. I’m still playing my flute. I’m still teaching flute - remotely to adults over FaceTime and Google Meet. My students live in California, Georgia, and Canada, which I find astonishing and wonderful. I hope that someone will come see me walk, but this will be something I’ll be doing for myself. Just one more thought. A few weeks after I had the discussion with the CIM administrator, I received a facsimile of CIM’s Graduation program. Some had copied the program from the school’s archives and put the pages together as a booklet. That was nice. My name is in it.
This was such an incredible song. What Van Morrison song should we do next?
Into the Mystic for sure! Also Wild Night, Domino, Sweet Thing and Gloria from when he was in a band called Them, The Doors liked that song so much that they covered it.
Someone like you
Into the Mystic, Full Force Gale, Days Like This, Tupelo Honey, Have I Told You Lately, I Forgot That Love Existed, Gloria and I Shall Sing. Basically anything ever written or performed by Van, including the entirety of this album.
“Into the mystic”
Caravan!

Yep, and both the artists and labels were striving for new territories. A blossoming period for artistry.
What a marvelous time musically!
Van Morrison is definitely one of the best! Tupelo Honey and Into the Mystic are masterpieces
"And It Stoned Me"....!
@@2869may I completely agree, thanks I forgot about that song
@@johnthegreek5836 Right on! I know it was good to hear it again...
Yes and yes!!
He has a whole gallery of masterpieces and then some
Van Morrison one of the greatest composers of the 20th century
This is such a great song. The groove is incredible.
Oh yes! Moondance always and forever ♥
Yeah ... and the SONG Always and Forever (Heatwave, ruclips.net/video/9tXVK7fh-kI/видео.html ) ... that's another great song !!!
Jazz for sure, and somehow it rocks too. Amazing - always loved Moondance. Thanks you two!
Tupelo Honey and/or my favorite Into the Mystic are two great songs 🎵
The best thing about "Moondance" is that it shows just how versatile rock can be. The genre is a conglomerate of so many different styles that if the artist is really good, you never know what you're going to get.
That was what made the music of the 70's
@melanie shannon You're right. With a few exceptions, the rock genre has become more formulaic with each passing decade.
Van Morrison is music is timeless. Truly outstanding talent.
The whole Moondance album is a masterpiece. One of the top 100 albums of all time.
I love this song. Thanks for doing this, Tasha and T.
you absolutely chose the right song.
Van is a genius songwriter!! I would love to see you react to Van doing Wavelength!
Van has a very vast catalog of tunes. He's Irish and does rock n roll, the blues, jazz. You name it. He also plays multiple instruments ( including the sax) and wrote some the best tunes ever! I've seen him twice. A true master of all genres of music
Van Morrison is such a varied, wonderful artist. He has 3 (4?) greatest hits albums, and they’re all amazing.
Thank you for all the variety of music! One love!
Van Morison started his carreer in 1963 in Belfast (North-Ireland) as singer of the beat (pop) group Them.

Blues with Joh Lee Hooker was one of them. Frequently he went back to Ireland and performed with the Chieftains singing Irish songs. He is a very good musician and performer but a very grumpy man
I don't like jazz as a rule. but I have always loved this jazz influenced song by Van Morrison!
Not as he envisioned it Listen to it again and imagine he's singing that at his wife's grave. "Can I just have one more moondance with you,my love?" hits differently.
Love Van and love this song. 💜
Moondance is still rock. It’s very jazzy, but still rocks! For another good example of this, check out the song Jimmy Jazz, off of The Clash’s London Calling album. Love watching you guys. Peace
In the 70's popular music was made up of every genre. And a lot of bands could cross genres. Great song. Meaningful.
Aha! I was just searching your Playlist to find out other Van Morrison songs you'd heard. Please try Into the Mystic.
I hope he plays "Into the mystic and when he does its the cut with the Allman Brothers
Van started playing saxephone at age 13.Played jazz in clubs until his 1st rock band at age 23.About 50 albums as a solo artist.He did a duet with Ray Charles, and a traditional Irish folk music with the Chieftans. All top drawer productions. Youbetcha.
Yezz indeed. You picked a true winner in my estimation. Thanks man.👍👍
This album followed "Astral Weeks" - the breadth of those two combined is outstanding
Only a Dream, Tupelo Honey, It Stoned Me, there are so many Van Morrison songs to choose from.
Van the man. His music is always on the playlist. And he has many greats!!!
Tupelo Honey is another great song, and he has many. Van, from Ireland, started in a band called "Them" back during the British Invasion days.
Van is a legend "Into the Mystic" next
Van Morrison Is a legend. His Brown Eyed Girl is one of my favorite songs.
Van has way too many songs that you could cover - he’s never done a bad album - his voice has matured like a fine wine - still has strength and depth - and what a catalogue he has - I envy anyone that’s just starting to discover him - what a journey
I've seen him do it live and it's even better and you can hear everybody's note.
Check out the duet with him and John Lee Hooker. The song is Serves me right to Suffer. Love the Blues.
Van The Man with my favorite love song! Van is by nature a rhythm and blues stylist. None better in this style. So many great hits. Some original and some covers that he made them his own!
Van the Man...such a voice!! Into The Mystic is a nice one but every song he sings is a gem...my personal fav is Tupelo Honey
"Into The Mystic" or "Tupelo Honey". But everything he does is great. Enjoy!
This always takes me to a small jazz club in the village.
Great Song. This whole Album is Fantastic. When the Albums were sooooo good 🪴🌄✌️
He was a magic worker with his sounds. Check out Into the Mystic...one of his bests. Thank you for sharing this one. =)
This whole album is a masterpiece.
This is beautiful Jazz.........

You guys get it. Nice reactions and comments. Van’s arrangements can really be something.
This song was constantly played long after it's original release. I was still hearing it on the radio long into the eighties. ❤️❤️🥰
You can't go wrong with Van the Man. One of the best of all time.
Actual music! Who knew? Into the Mystic is a favorite, too. Thanks, folks! Keep it up!
Howdy from Texas. Van is equally at home with Jazz, R and B, Soul, folk, you name it. A very eclectic catalog for the Irishman.
Into The Mystic is a must. For a lesser known gem, try And The Healing Has Begun.
When I hear this song the first thing that pops into my mind is New York City. It just has that feel.
My sister had this album and played this song endlessly. Love Van!
My favorite Van Morrison song. Into the Mystic comes in second.
Never heard this with headset. Even better. So much in left ear.
Van Morrison is one ot the greatest songwriters/artists of the 70s-80s-90s. There are so many of his songs you guys should check out. One of my personal favorites is Into The Mystic.
You've got to listen to 'Into the Mystic' next....
I grew up with Jazz in my house 'till Buddy Holley came along and took me on another track. I love how Morrison does a Mel Torme type jazzy song here though.
Love this song! Van Morrison has some really great tunes.
Every time I hear this song I snap my fingers and say, “Dig it, Daddy-O!”
Van Morrison plays the guitar, piano, and a sexophone. It's very versatile. It's hard to put him in a genre of music I would say it's a jazz blues combination.
You need to listen to Into The Mystic by Van Morrison. Brings tears of joy to my eyes every time.
You all are so cute. His song " Into the Mystic"is another great one.
Love Van Morrison!
Days of Rock and Roll is about listening to early rock on early radio in Ireland
"Gloria" and "Baby, Please Don't Go", are two songs from '64-'65, when he was in the Belfast group, Them. The former is the band's biggest hit, it got Van noticed, and it's become a standard for every garage band. The latter is a fast Blues Rocker.
So, there you go! 😊 A couple more different vibes from Van the man!💯
I would classify this song as a jazz influenced rock song - and nearly perfect. The walking bass line makes it
The great Colin Tilton on sax!! His vocal styling was on point in this song as well unbelievable song, the next song I would do if you already did Tupelo Honey and brown eyed girl is into the Mystic
My desert island fave disc is his first album Astral Weeks. When I think about it, I would include Miles Davis' Kind of Blue; both changed my perception about popular music at the time.
That made me smile!!!
LOVE VAN...
you have to hear the songs Wavelength and Domino. they will take you musically to another part of Vans repertoire.
Loved your reaction to this adult music 🎵🎶 of high caliber
"Daring Night", Hymns to the Silence"...a couple of good ones I think you might like
Check out Into The Mystic and Caravan.
"These Dreams Of You or Come Running" from this same Moondance album
Alan Watts Blues (Cloud Hidden), And it Stoned Me, Astral Weeks, Into the Mystic, Listen to the Lion, Madame George, Philosopher's Stone, Streets of Arklow, These Are the Days and Wavelength - all great Van Morrison songs
Now check out Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic."
Another terrific song from the Moon dance album is Caravan.
The music guys pick is so enjoyable and brings back some good memories. It is obvious that you love music. Thanks
I heard Ron Burgundy gives jazz flute lessons now he's retired.
My beautiful husband of 25 years just died in a horrid car crash about a year ago 💔💔💔

Please Dear Lord 🙏 🙏 🙏
The studio version is the only one with the flute performed by Colin Tilton
“Did we select the right song?” … There are NO wrong Van Morrison songs! 😉
One of my favorite songs ever!
One more Van Morrison groove to get lost in is the song Autumn Song. I have never heard a song that caught the felling of Autumn like this song captures. One of my all time favorites from any artist because of the mood it evokes. Special....
His "Days like this" is excellent but there are lots of diamonds to find

Thanks you for living
This song makes me feel classy.
Fantabulous
sax makes everything better.
Besides "Into The Mystic", check out "Redwood Tree".
There's not a single miss on the entire Moondance album. From And it Stoned Me, right through the last notes of Glad Tidings, just awesome.
