Van Morrison - Into The Mystic

Into the Mystic is mischien wel mijn favorite Van Morrison song Dit is een mooie opname met backing vocals van Brian Kennedy.Helaas staat het de laatste tijd niet meer op de setlist tijdens de V.M concerten. Het nummer komt van het album Moondance en staat ook op de prachtige live dubbelaar It,s too late to stop now. Het nummer is gecoverd door o.a Paul Carrak ,Joe Cocker,Warren Haynes,Ben EKing (Van,s favoriete versie) Michael McDonald,Johnny Rivers,The Allman Brothers,The Wallflowers en vele anderen. Bij de originele opnamen op Moondance bestond de band uit:

• Van Morrison - vocals, guitar
• Jeff Labes - piano
• Gary Mallaber - drums
• John Klingberg - bass guitar
• John Platania - guitar
• Jack Schroer - alto saxophone
• Collin Tilton - tenor saxophone

--> We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I dont have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl
