It is a more up tempo number, that is also a bit heavy and less emotional than the other tracks on this album. Being as that it includes a soprano saxophone, and some vibraphone playing. It resembles songs you would hear on Van Morrison's Moon Dance. The Way Young Lovers Do: This recording switches the album up a bit. All that I just mentioned just simply adds more to this spectacular song. It's hard to say what exactly appeals to me on this number, more so than the other. Which is done in a more Bluegrass fashion. The song includes small bits of whistling and some violin playing also. It has some great emotional vocals, as usual. Cyprus Avenue: When I first took a listen to this album, this was the first song that really stood out to me. His vocals are just beautiful and so original sounding. Without a doubt one of my favorite song from Morrison. It is just a song you can't forget, and have probably been aware of for awhile. This song especially took me some time to get use to and love. The song, aswell as the album will probably not be loved at the first time listen. With it's acoutic guitar playing, and great orchestratic playing. Sweet Thing: "Sweet Thing" may be the catchiest song on this album. The overall vibe is fantastic, and a lot more strong compared to pther tracks on the album. There is just some kind of odd, yet beautiful fealing to this song, that I can never stop noticing. Showing off that Van's talent is definitley underrated, and possibly almost unnoticed. Beside You: This passionate, yet hopeful song has some great classical styled guitar playing. It is not as emotional as some of the other tracks, but the lyrics seem to have a great amount of meaning, which is emotional in its own way. And some great back up playing by a flute, an upright bass, and a violin. It also has amazing lyrics as most Van Morrison songs do.
Astral Weeks: Here is a fantastic acoustic song, with nice rythm. and just impossible to completely describe.ġ. each song completely different from the next. To those not as not familar with Morrison, perhaps you can relate it to Beck's Sea Change. Each song is amazing good and interesting to hear. The album express so many beautiful, and various emotions. When Van Morrison set out to record his new studio soon entitled Astral Weels, I doubt he would have thought he would end up with the extraodinary masterpiece.
