It’s a lovely song. Whenever I hear it then I have to listen to the Pogues, A Pair of Brown Eyes.
It came on the box at my watering hole the other day, and this genius sitting next to me starting
going on about how Morrison was from Australia. He was quite adamant about it. I mentioned that I
was pretty sure he was Irish and was told in no uncertain terms that not only did I not know what I
was talking about but that I should shut my gob. He got very offended when my wife and I burst out
laughing.
It's surprisingly simple in both melody and verse yet still a solid song. And Fun. And Unique.
Almost everyone remembers the music and/or some of the words. Yes, it's a great song.
Whether "one of the greatest tracks ever" is still debatable because there are so many other songs
but you chose a good contender.
I agree 100%. I've always loved that song. For a long time, I loved it because I have brown eyes.
Recently, it has an become an even more precious song to me because it makes me think of someone
very dear to me and who is close to my heart. Van Morrison music is great "mood" music. You must
be a romantic guy. I'm not sure what K9 is going on about, but I think his taste in music is
lacking a bit. Of course, what sounds good to one, does not sound good to all. One would think
that most people would like a classic such as "Brown Eyed Girl" though.
''Brown Eyed Girl'' is definitely tops for me, it's a stage further than Keep's ''Bright Side Of The Road:''
Little darling ''COME,'' with me,
Won't you help me share my load,
From the ''Dark Side,'' of the Street,
To the ''Bright Side'' of the ROAD!
If you get mi drift.....;-)
Joshua, you have wonderful taste in music. I love "True Colors" as well. Did you know that The Hooters did a version of that song? If memory serves, they helped give Cyndi Lauper her start. It has been a while, but I believe that is what I heard.
Van morrison sounds like an old utility vehicle. I was never a fan. Here is a cover of Bright Side
of the Road I think this is a better song.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP8sxcvvwqI
