| Van Morrison – Glad Tidings Lyrics | 17 years ago |

My favorite from "Moondance." The album liner gives the 2nd and 3rd lines as: "And it looks like you kids will stay Christmas It demands that you travel the distance." It's about looking forward to a visit, but mostly I love individual lines rather than "understanding" it as a clear story. The princess awakens, the knights step forward... Don't read between the lines, meet them halfway, And expect them to rise for the occasion. The melody is both propulsive and soaring, and the word's flash semi-random mythic images. It works for me. |
