Brilliance. Thanks for playing something from this classic album other than the title track, which, though great, needs to be put away on the shelves for a little while.

My Lord, it really doesn't get better than this, and Van the Man's sublime lyrics and lusty Belfast vocal stylings can still rock my gypsy soul to Kingdom Come.  Definitely a Never Get Tired of THAT One number, for sure...

once again my gypsy soul's been rocked

Somehow makes me feel happy, sad, whimsical, nostalgic and lonely all at once....Van at his most powerful  

I'm generally not a big fan of Van Morrison.  However, this song is fantastic.  

Too late to stop now . . .

If that's how you feel about the title track then you should get his live album A Night In San Francisco. It features a completely re-arranged and wonderful version of Moondance.

Thanks for playing this gem. It's great to hear something from this album other than its once-great, now played-out title track.

Goosebumps.  Thanks, Bill !

Couldn't have said it better myself. My favorite Van Morrison song.

It's tough for me to make a top ten list of my favorite songs because times and taste change, but this one without a doubt, is always #1.

Does this song ring as true in the arid states as it does in the Northwest?

One of the best Road Albums of all time!!!

sublime

This was one of my college girlfriend's favorite albums. Boston 1975. I just had a serious non-acid flashback!

Simple tune, sparse instrumentation, tight production, nothing digital - classic folk-rock at its best.

Love it. 10 all the way.

This version isn't so good, but have a listen:

God, I love this - isn't it one of the purist love songs? But I had to run off and play David Gray's "Say Hello Wave Goodbye" - if you haven't heard it, it's one of the great, bitter, break-up songs. He quotes "Into the Mystic" at the end, and it's just heartbreaking.
ps love Van's accent on this "Intah tha msteek". 

Only related because they are both Irish but Sinead O'Conner got married yesterday.
Really! In Las Vegas no less.
It's true, you can look it up.

God bless the Irish

is there anything higher than 10?... 

It's hard to hear this and -not- remember all the tims, places and people who have been with me when this played before. I guess that's what defines a -Classic-
