tupelo honey.....love the album....love the song...... "She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like the honey, baby, from the bee She's my baby, you know she's alright....." i just think van is great.....he has many great songs.....
I would say Cleaning Windows, but, I also definitely dig Caravan off the Last Waltz, Van just goes nuts
Also, I would like to add No Guru, No method, No teacher In the Garden is one of my very favorites songs as well. I love everything the man does
great question because it just made me realise that i hardly know any Van Morrison songs while i always liked his voice on Brown Eyed Girl & Here Comes The Night...i will check out the songs mentioned on this thread since i don't know enough of Van's recordings i will vote for the Jeff Buckley version of The Way Young Lovers Do.
Dance on Gypsy Queen If it's all night, it's alright Rave on Let your love come tumblin' down If you let your love come tumblin' down It's alright Dance on (you know it's alright) Gypsy Queen Dance on (you know it's alright) Gypsy Queen Rave on Right beneath the silver moon Don't stop your carburetor Let your car run And if it starts to rain Keep on dancin' in the rain And if it's all night, it's alright Dance on (you know it's alright) Gypsy Queen Dance on (you know it's alright) Gypsy Queen Ooo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Dance, dance, dance the night away Ooo-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Come on, come on, come on Let me hear you say You're gonna dance on Gypsy Queen Stars shine down on you Yeah, ev'rything alright Ooo-wee I wanna throw my arms around you I'm so glad I've found you Gypsy Queen Dance on (you know it's alright) Gypsy Queen Dance on (you know it's alright) Gypsy Queen Ev'rything (dance on) is (You know it's alright) Ev'rything is (alright) (Dance on) ev'rything is alright (You know it's alright) FADES- Keep on dancin' (Dance on) all night (You know it's alright) all night.
I love everything Van does but I am partial to everything from Moondance...Into the Mystic...Moondance...It Stoned Me... I am SO envious of the person who gets to see him on the 24th - if you get a chance, tell him that he has a huge fan base in Canada and that we'd absolutely LOVE to see him out here (I know - wishful thinking - but stranger things have happened).
I find Sweet Thing truly moving Oh sweet thing, sweet thing, my, my, my, my, my sweet thing ............................. And u shall take me strongly in your arms again And I will not remember That I ever felt the pain We shall walk and talk in gardens all misty and wet with rain And I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER Grow so old again...
