Knowing the volume of Van Morrison fans out there (!), I may be talking to myself again. However, I'm proposing Into the Mystic as one of the pinnacles of his long career, the song featuring on Moondance and recorded back in 1970. From the voice to the guitar work to the sultry sax representing the foghorn, it's a perfect song. Much to my liking, the lyrics are more poetic sounds than a meaningful story, and VM himself has said they have multiple meanings and could be written in alternative ways.

It's a song of timeless beauty and I hope some of you enjoy listening to it perhaps for the first time.
