This post is dedicated to "The Vann Man" - an artist, music afficionado and work colleague who passed away a couple of nights ago. Words below taken from one of my favourite old skool songs - Astral Weeks a seven minute epic by the other Van Man - Van Morrison recorded in one take in 1968.
"If I ventured in the slipstream
Between the viaducts of your dream
Where immobile steel rims crack
And the ditch in the back roads stop
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again"
"From the far side of the ocean
If I put the wheels in motion
And I stand with my arms behind me
And I'm pushin on the door
Could you find me?
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
To lay me down
In silence easy
To be born again
To be born again"
"Ain't nothing but a stranger in this world
I'm nothing but a stranger in this world
I got a home on high
In another land
So far away
So far away
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another place"
"Way up in the heaven
Way up in the heaven
We are goin up to heaven
In another time
In another place
In another time
In another face."
