Recently saw Van perform his Astral Weeks concert in Chicago. He sang In the Garden just before performing his Astral Weeks album, and it was such a gorgeous prelude. The hush in the theater as Morrison and the brilliant musicians seemed to make the stage inhale and draw everything in was mesmerizing especially as he whispered into the microphone. I already loved this song, but truly fell hard for it that evening.
And since this is suppose to be a site focused on the meaning of songs....I just want to note that the parallel drawn between religion and the relationship in this song adds such a feeling of reverence and purity to me.
@aKatB1 I know this is 7 years after the comment but reverence and purity (as a return to innocence through grace) are 2 of the essential qualities that I feel ITG communicates. Were also at AW in Chicago...
