Into The Mystic

I've always been a huge Van Morrison fan, and no, not just because i'm a "brown eyed girl!"

"Into The Mystic" came across the playlist on Pandora today and it got me thinkin'.... Van Morrison's "Moondance" album is such a classic! So many goodies all on one album! "Crazy Love", "Caravan", "Everyone", "And it Stoned Me," just to name a few. My favorite "Van the Man" song would probably have to be "Days Like This." Everytime i hear it i'm reminded of my childhood and family vacations. lol (no clue why... kinda random i know!)

I got pretty lucky and found a copy of "Moondance" on vinyl in a nearby record store a couple years back. Only cost me a whopping $1.99!!! Crazy right?! It sounds even better on my record player than on my ipod!

This version of "Into The Mystic" has a bit of a different sound compared to the original recording, but it's a suprisingly good alternative. I have not YET had the pleasure of seeing Van Morrison live, but i say YET because i'm desperately trying to make it happen. Ahh one day, one day! If you've never heard this album, take time and enjoy his classic distinctful voice along witha good ole rythm and blues soundtrack. If you're a regular of this album, pull it out, put it on, and play it loud!
