listen to the entire Wavelength..
Wavelength- album
he had pretty much perfected his style when he released this one, it's one of the first albums I learned the entire bass and guitar parts for, just because I could listen to it over and over.

I had never gotten into Van Morrison until I dated my old lady. She had a Moondance CD.
I married her.
I married her.

Another great Morrison album, that has gone virtually overlooked, is Veedon Fleece. its often compared favorably to Astral Weeks, with the same stream of consciousness lyrics, but a more acoustic setting.

I've heard all of his hits a million times, but I never took the time to listen to his albums. Listened to Astral Weeks twice today...and this was my reaction:
Astral Weeks is about as close as music can get to a full-on religious experience.

quite possibly, a perfect record...
It approaches that asymptote.

check out 'tupelo honey' ... not one of his Big 2 (Moondance being the other), but it's a very good album (W liked this album a lot) ...
And that track is one of my favorites of his. It's between that and Sweet Thing.

Yeah, one time I was at this semi-formal party thing and the venue had this really large open deck and that's where the band was playing. That's the first time I heard "Tupelo Honey" and the girl I was there with...it became "our song".
And then a year and a half or so later she cheated on me with two dudes in two weeks.
They can't all be happy endings.

If I ventured in the slipsream
Between the viaducts of your dream
From the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
God I love this album. The lyrics make only half-sense. it's as spacy/dreamy as the music itself. It's mesmerizing. And, yeah, I'm listening to it right now.

Tupelo Honey (The Wayne Toups cover) is my SO and I's song.
I love Van Morrison, definitely one of my idols and a huge musical influence. I really hope to one day be able to do a solo project so I can emulate his style of dreamy, romantic, nuance and complexity in simplicity with symmetry style.
"And I will stroll the merry way
And jump the hedges first
And I will drink the clear
Clean water for to quench my thirst
And I shall watch the ferry-boats
And they'll get high
On a bluer ocean
Against tomorrow's sky
And I will never grow so old again
And I will walk and talk
In gardens all wet with rain
Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
And I shall drive my chariot
Down your streets and cry
'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
And I don't know why'
And you shall take me strongly
In your arms again
And I will not remember
That I even felt the pain.
We shall walk and talk
In gardens all misty and wet with rain
And I will never, never, never
Grow so old again..."

I'm not all in on Astral Weeks like everybody else, but the Beautiful Vision and Inarticulate Speech of the Heart albums have that same dreamy, spacy feel that is something spiritual/religious.

Newer than most of those mentioned...but not "new" (90's) is the album "Enlightenment". One of my go-to's.

Both of my parents are heavy VM fans, I grew up listening to VM in the car and at home. Some of my first memories are riding in the car with my parents listening to the His Band and the Street Chior album.
I've prob listened to VM more than any artist in my life and it never gets old.
Reading all these posts on how people discovered VM later in their life makes appreciate the early exposure.
