Even after hearing this song hundreds of times, it still has a magical feel to it whenever it comes on.

How perfect to hear this today, a white Christmas, after kicking through weightless diamond skydust in a string of neighborhood parks...juniper, spruce, red pines adding their scent to the ionized breeze...sighing rapturous at the sight, smell, and chill of the cloudbank dumping its magic along The Great Divide...

So very meaningful both lyrically and melodically.

yes to the 14,  loved the scene in " immediate family" where the woman and young gal where dancing to this, and reminicing where they first heard it and what it meant to them,

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...

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

If any song truly qualifies as "Godlike", it's this one.

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.

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.

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