Love that one.

Love that one.

Yes, me too.
For me van Morrison is nearly a white paper. I have to explore his track-list more. Given the right song, he is outstanding with his voice.

I think that Van Morrsison and Chris Rea are in the same genre with their voices and melodies.

Jahn, you know what's funny? The footage on this video - I kept looking at it, thinking how familiar it was, and thought well, boardwalks are boardwalks and piers are piers - they must all look alike. Especially at :39 -:58, I felt sure I've sat on that bench he is sitting on. Then, just now, I read further in the comments, that he filmed it in Virginia Beach! No wonder it all looked familiar.  He did a good capture of a certain mood there.

Cool,
yes that combo of private video and the the Van Morrison song really melt into one.

Van Morrison: I confess to be a lover of Veedon Fleece. Unfortunately, I've not been attracted to his other albums. It's hard for me to explain why, as in general I liked his style. I think I took leave though, when he began on that course exemplified by The Garden of Good and Evil. A musical technique which substituted words for structure. Every song sounded the same, just that the words were different.

I still remember GLORIA.

Chris is another who substituted words for songwriting structure. Every song sounds the same. I was very taken by the Road to Hell, I must say, and I do love his lead guitar style - can't say why, but it just grabs me every time.

Well, here is late Daevid Allen and his Gong, introducing new instruments

Chris is another who substituted words for songwriting structure. Every song sounds the same.

I agree, many of Chris Reas songs seem to have the same origin. I usually play some of then when I want to relax, sit back and rest.

He is a guitarist (learned how to play at the age of 18) and is the anti-type of rock star. He got sick in cancer 2000-2001 and after that he changed his production towards his roots of jazz and blues.


As a comment to his release of 137 tracks! ( 11 CD album "the Blue Guitars) in 2005 he concluded:
 "I was never a rock star or pop star and all the illness has been my chance to do what I'd always wanted to do with music [...] the best change for my music has been concentrating on stuff which really interests me"

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
 blue skies from pain.
 Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
 A smile from a veil?
 Do you think you can tell?

 Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
 Hot ashes for trees?
 Hot air for a cool breeze?
 Cold comfort for change?
 Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

 How I wish, how I wish you were here.
 We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
 Running over the same old ground.
 What have we found? The same old fears.
 Wish you were here.
