Van Morrison – You’re My Woman
Music in this video
Janet “Planet” Morrison was Van Morrison’s wife and muse. During their tumultuous marriage, Van released some of his most memorable albums including Astral Weeks, Moondance, Tupelo Honey, His Band & the Street Choir. She is featured on the cover of Morrison’s album Tupelo Honey, astride a white stallion, wearing a long flowered dress. (The doe-eyed beauty…)
Tupelo Honey is the fifth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was released in October 1971 by Warner Bros. Records. Morrison had written all of the songs on the album in Woodstock, New York, before his move to Marin County, California, except for “You’re My Woman,” which he wrote during the recording sessions. Recording began at the beginning of the second quarter of 1971 at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco. Morrison moved to the Columbia Studios in May 1971 to complete the album.
The namesake for the album and its title track is a varietal honey from the tupelo tree flowers found in the Southeastern United States. The album features various musical genres, most prominently country, but also R&B, soul, folk-rock, and blue-eyed soul. The lyrics echo the domestic bliss portrayed on the album cover; they largely describe and celebrate the rural surroundings of Woodstock and Morrison’s family life with then-wife Janet “Planet” Rigsbee.

Van Morrison – On Hyndford Street (Live from Cyprus Avenue, Belfast)
On 31st August 2015, to celebrate his 70th birthday Van played a live gig on Cyprus Avenue in his native Belfast, Northern Ireland as part of the Eastside Arts Festival.
The middle-class suburban Cyprus Avenue was made famous in his song of the same name on the Astral Weeks album.
Van was born in a small house in the working-class Hyndford Street, just a few blocks away from the Avenue.

WIRELESS PORTABLE HEADPHONES
OnePlus Buds Pro Headphone
This wireless Bluetooth model from OnePlus delivers very good sound quality and active noise reduction, combining elements of in-ear and earbud earphones. These earphones have an isolating design and an ambient sound monitoring feature; they will provide some muffling and electronic canceling of external noises and reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the earpieces. As such, they are best for those who want highly portable earphones that reduce the noise they hear from their surroundings or don’t want the sound from the earpieces to disturb others.

Van Morrison – Listen to the Lion (full version)
Van Morrison – Listen to the Lion
Van Morrison – “Listen to the Lion”, taken from his sixth solo album Saint Dominic’s Preview (July 1972 Warner Bros). “Listen to the Lion” was first recorded during the sessions for Morrison’s third solo album Moondance in 1969 but not used. The longer eleven-minute version that is featured on the Saint Dominic’s Preview album was recorded during the 1971 sessions at the Columbia Studios in San Francisco and intended for the album Tupelo Honey.
I find “Listen to the Lion” uplifting, and heartbreaking at the same time. Van confronts all his dreams, all his doubts, and all of the tangled web of the Celtic diaspora and mysticism and emerges triumphant. It’s almost a hymn. I like to hear a CS Lewis Lion (Aslan) in this song. This song is one of the defining tracks of Morrison’s career, comparing it with works such as “The Garden”, “Into the Mystic”, and “You Don’t Pull No Punches, But You Don’t Push the River”.

All my tears like water flown
And all my tears like water flown
All my tears like-a water flown

Van Morrison – Dark Night Of The Soul (Audio)
New Music from Van the man. A surprise to all his fans, Van is back to his soulful roots-which is the conventional interpretation. My thoughts are that he never left his soulful roots behind. A musician of his talent puts the fullness of his creation into all that he does.

Van Morrison – Keep Me Singing (EPK)
We all have songs that bring us to a higher place than lust, passion, or garden variety heart longing. Recently I opened up a box of CDs, in storage for the last 3 years, including Van “Tupelo Honey”. If you enjoy Van’s music, meaning you have a heart and decent hearing, there are seminal recordings with transcendent tracks like this one, “You’re My Woman”, from Tupelo Honey.
I recall this song from prior listenings yet it did not have quite the same
Today I truly heard, “and all our friends came through..” with clarity.
Transcendent? A resounding YES for me. No song better captures “pure” heart love than this one. Let me know what you think in the comments below this post. How about the alchemy of musical genres in one composition (folk, r&b, jazz, gospel) alone? For the uninitiated few, heretofore not introduced to the early works of
