Van Morrison - Into The Mystic Lyrics






We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...

Too late to stop now...

    This song makes me think about seeing Jesus but also about leaving my family and never knowind them again after the flesh... Makes me deeply sad

  29. D.... R....

    When those horns come in my brain feeds me happy chemicals.

  30. L.... W....

    I don't know why the background music on you tube is so puny it's like it's a secret.

  31. L.... M....

    I imagine this song being played in a texan bar everyone drunk on rum wearing cowboy boots n hats dancing with the shiela’s

  32. S.... R....

  33. s.... s....

  34. S.... J....

    This song rocks my gypsy soul to the absolute core. I can listen to it over and over and it brings me the same level of emotion every single time. It's this kind of art that shapes the meaning of life.

  35. C.... S....

  38. K.... B....

    My husband played this song for me for the first time a couple of years ago and it touched me so much I started bawling. He passed away in early December after 50 years together. We played this at his memorial service. I’ll be listening for that foghorn someday and I know he’ll be waiting for me to come home.

  39. E.... S....

    Good, when you add the lyrics to the video. So I can enjoy your beautiful composition, always good and well inspired. Congratulations! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩🌹🇧🇷

  40. T.... H....

    Reminds me of some dear friends who are no longer together but they would dance to this all the time. They owned a bar in SC. They were such a great couple and inspiration to me.

  42. F.... K....

    How many Christians out there hurt from being told we can't do this or that or even thrown from churches by words of harm Christ forgive them but music is one of his gifts to us and this is a gift

  43. M.... P....

    Still.....into 2020 VAN THE MAN!!!!!

  44. d.... ....

    I fell in love with my husband, on my space. He had this song on the opening of my space. Mine was Purple Raine. Man I do miss "Myspace" So much better than Facebook

  45. f.... ....

    Only 7 million views??? There are one thousand times more people than that in the world. Step it the fuck up everybody.

  46. H.... C....

    My favorite song of the idea of rocking the gypsy soul b/c, He is coming home...

  47. T.... C....

    Ale yea...a golden worthy song...sitting an take a moment bk an feel it

  48. J.... H....

    From 1:21 to 2:21 Mr. Morrison really opens up. It's eerie when you listen for it and his soul jumps right out at you right at the very end of the phrase. I would bet in the last week I've listened to this song at least 20 times. Definitely on my list of the 10 best songs of all time. This song makes a person feel good in a wonderful way. To me it's odd because it's contagious- the more you hear it the better you feel!


    From Wiki:
    "...it has been described as "another song where the music and the words
    seem to have been born together, at the same time, to make one perfectly
    formed, complete artistic element.“ "...similar to Yesterday, by the Beatles".


    And let's don't even mention the incredible video production. Well done folks! It was a unique experience to be able to visualize this as a story since the words were beautify printed right there. VERY unique, I should say. I'm subscribed!

    J.... H....

    One of my favorites too! I play it a lot in the morning when my kids are getting ready for school. Sets a positive tone for the day.

  49. J.... T....

    First song of 2020

  50. s.... ....

    Such a great song, to the people who voted thumbs down to this song, need to get their fucking head examined!!!!!!

  51. S.... L....

    Why do so many people equate this song with death?.....Just enjoy the damned thing!

  52. s.... t....

    Steph, Mom and I miss you so much. I can still see you dancing to this song on the beach. Rest in peace our sweet angel.

  53. J.... S....

  60. M.... C....

    Our song....together for 35 years! Married 33 of those. Still dance!

  61. S.... S....

    16 years ago , my mom played this song for the first time while I was in her uterus still, played it every night until I was born, later this would play every day in our house... now I am 16, still listening to this amazing song..

  62. a.... ....

    When I hear the lyrics in this song, I get the feeling it is about someone dying and going to be reunited with an old lover once again.

  63. u.... ....

    hey Stockholm Dynamite Nobel Team ....
    just listen
    just listen
    and think .......

  64. S.... a....

    One of my favorite Van Morrison songs

  65. W.... S....

    Roll on Irish man, roll on....

  66. T.... H....

    💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

  67. A.... A....

    bad quality

  68. R.... ....

    I've never thought of this as a sad song at all. "We were born before the wind" makes me think of soul recognition. As if to say "You and I are together because our names were written together in the stars. Now that we are one, we charge on together, fearlessly into the great unknown [the mystic]"

  69. M.... B....

    I listened tonthis song 30 years ago when I was pregnant with my 1st born son David Joseph, they. all call him the red bearded buck Hunter. The 1st love of my life!! 3-7- 1991. Hard to believe I still love this song. &.if he was a girl, he would have been Aubrey Marie.

  70. A.... P....

    To all whom have lost loved ones, my sincere condolences,💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏 and may the memories of them give you comfort in this beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹

  71. H.... B....

    One my late wife's favorite songs. Seven years gone.
    I miss her.

    R.... S....

    I'm so sorry for your loss.

    R.... S....

    A guy who I was friends with since I was a teenager passed and in a dream he came to me and gave me a list of songs he wanted me to listen to. We were friends with benefits and respected each others affairs. He drove from Virginia to New Jersey every weekend and stayed at my brothers house where I also stayed we would go out and dance and have a great time. He was a guy who would do anything for me if I asked. Didnt realize he was waiting for me to settle down and be exclusive so he could marry me. The last time I saw him was when I was on my first date with my now exhusband. He passed away in January 2009 I believe I cant remember I hadn't seen him since Dec 2 1985. I felt him die, I called my best friend in New Jersey and told her she had to find John for me. The next day she called me and asked me why i called her because she knew i already knew her died in a car accident in her town a half hour before i called her. Anyway the list of songs made no sense to me they weren't songs we danced to or even listened to together. I played this song for a bit and still didnt get it with a bunch of others on the list. A few songs by Van Morrison were on the list but this is my favorite and I imagine him and I dancing to it. When he wants me to know something is good or he approves of something I hear this song. He called me his gypsy and as I said we were friends with benefits. Recently I met this guy many people wanted to buy my moms rental property but this guy I felt really relaxed with and this song came on I signed the papers. My friend was a building inspector when he died and so i figured it was a sign. Just about every time i seen this guy this song came on. I think my friend was trying to tell me to date him he was really nice but quite a bit younger so i did not. He asked me several times to go to lunch but I simply told him no thank you. He really a great guy who deserves someone great.

  79. S.... L....

  86. M.... P....

    Patti passed way in the fall of 2019. I don't think she ever knew I thought of her when listening to this song. But she knew of my love for the "Brown-Eyed Girl". Because indeed she was and indeed I did. Rest in easy peace pretty woman.
