Sunday Morning With Van Morrison

Into The Mystic, from the 1970 album Moondance.  The lyrics are about a spiritual quest, typical of Morrison's work.   It has been described as "another song where the music and the words seem to have been born together, at the same time, to make one perfectly formed, complete artistic element."




Joe Cocker, looking fresh out of the sauna, sings Into The Mystic here.



Have a blessed Sunday!  The microphone is open.  Step up and say what you want.

"[A]nother song where the music and the words seem to have been born together, at the same time, to make one perfectly formed, complete artistic element."

An unfocused, inaccurate, pretentious way of saying "me likely."

@Spinelli. Was. I wrote about it once but I'd have to self-link .

Hey, I was a drummer, too. And I used the old-style hand grip method. Because it was BETTER!.

If it was good enough for Ringo Starr, it was good enough for me.

Actually, Ringo used matched grip. At least with The Beatles.
