Composed by Van Morrison and featured on his 1970 album Moondance. It has been described as a song of such elemental beauty and grace as to stand as arguably the quintessential Morrison moment. The ethereal nature of the lyrics is pure prose to me and include it as one of my all-time favorites. No wonder why Rolling Stone magazine includes this piece among the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
If you are into arcane trivia it has been reported (from a BBC survey)
that this song’s cooling, soothing vibe make it popular on a surgeon’s play
list for use in an operating theater.
Rocking that gypsy soul, live from Winterland, San Francisco - February 2, 1974.
