Can we all agree that Van Morrison's bestest song is Into The Mystic?

[SWv2]

True enough, sw.

Tom Waits? The Heart Of Saturday Night, for me.

I'm not really a Tom Waits person. In fact I am man enough to admit I am not sure I have ever heard the man sing at length.

My exposure to the man has largely been passive.

[Viva Prat Vegas]

That is actually a beautiful song.



"Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibies
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye"

I am swaying as I read your lyrics , C
Bling-bling bling-bling-bling (The piano bit)

You would like him very much. Heart of Saturday Night, Rosie, Ol' 55, Jersey Girl. Tremendous stuff from old Tom there.

[Peter]

No, we most certainly cannot.

Didn't she also do that one about talking in your sleep? She did. Here it is. Prepare to cry yourself sick:

Three o'clock in the morning
And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night
I've been listenin' to your dreams and gettin' very low
Wondering what I can do
Maybe I'm being foolish
'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all
How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on
Each time you close your eyes
I've heard it said that dreamers never lie
You've been talkin' in your sleep
Sleepin' in your dreams
Wish some sweet lover
Holdin' on so tight loving her the way
You used to love me
Talkin' in your sleep with lovin' on your mind

[Burney]

I suppose we need Curly to issue the final judgement, really.

Yes. We can obviously agree about that. It also has the benefit of being short. Too much time in Van's company can become irksome in my experience.

[Sir C]

No, we most certainly cannot.

Madame George

Kindly don't call me names.

[Peter]

Kindly don't call me names.

Most of Astral Weeks, in fact. And actually most of Moondance. In fact, I would say Into The Mystic is one of his worst songs.

I would say it, I just wouldn't actually mean it. I think I have just confused everything here, haven't I.

Oh well

Astral Weeks is wildly overrated.

There. I've said it.
