The Wee Democracy

van morrison

i think i was like around 11 or 12 when i saw "an american werewolf in london", and i remember when the main character engages in sexual intercourse with his ladyfriend, while moondance is playing on the sountrack. after that, anytime i heard that song, all i thought about was werewolf lovin' and it used to make me giggle, immature fiend that i am.

then, when she came back from college, armed to the teeth with new music (new to me, anyway), leah brought back the album 'moondance' and i heard the song, actually knowing what it was this time. i bought my own copy some time later, and tried to convert all in my path to the teachings.

i think he might have had a cold when he recorded crazy love. either that, or on the verge of tears.

into the mystic was probably my favorite song off the album when i was in high school and early college. and rightly so. it's a badass song.

and it stoned me and caravan are ok, i like 'em, and occasionally i'll sing along, but they're not my favorites.

everyone is a happy, good, song, and i sing to that alot. it has one of the best openings to a song ever. good tidings was just used, most effectively, i might add, in the season finale of the sopranos.

but brand new day is probably my favorite song on it, though. it goes and on, seemingly forever, and his voice hits these long notes, and the backup singers just make it seem like one of those songs that you have to make an orgasm face to sing along with it appropriately. it's just that good.

it's always cheap, so if you don't have it, go buy it, you cheap bastard!



feeling: tired. i had a long night on the ol' DART
thinking of: cute girl at work with the boots
song of the day: duh - brand new day - van morrison
and it feels like (feels like), yes, it seems like (seems like), oh it feels like (feels like!), oh and it seems like (seems like!) a brand new day (braaaaaand new daaaaaaay) a brand new day.
