(Van Morrison)
When I recall just how it felt
When I went walking down by the take
My soul was free, my heart awake
When I walked down into the town
The mountain air was fresh and clear
The sun was up behind the hill
It felt so good to be alive
On that morning in spring
I want to sing this song for you
I want to lift your spirits high
And in my soul I want to feel
The beauty of the days gone by
The beauty of the days gone by
It brings a longing to my soul
To contemplate my own true self
And keep me young as I grow old
The beauty of the days gone by
The music that we used to play
So lift your glass and raise it high
To the beauty of the days gone by
I'll sing it from the mountain top
Down to the valley down below
Because my cup doth overflow
With the beauty of the days gone by
The mountain glen
Where we used to roam
The gardens there
By the railroad track
Oh my memory it does not lie
Of the beauty of the days gone by
The beauty of the days gone by
It brings a longing to my soul
To contemplate my own true self
And keep me young as I grow old
And keep me young as I grow old
And keep me young as I grow old
The lyrics THE BEAUTY OF THE DAYS GONE BY of VAN MORRISON is also present in the album Down the road (2002)
Sir George Ivan Morrison, noto come Van Morrison, è un cantautore, polistrumentista e paroliere nordirlandese nato a Belfast nel 1945. Considerato uno dei più influenti artisti della musica popolare del XX secolo, Morrison ha attraversato diversi generi musicali, dal folk rock al jazz, passando per il blues e la soul. La sua carriera, iniziata negli anni '60 con i Them, lo ha visto raggiungere fama internazionale con album come "Astral Weeks" (1968), considerato un capolavoro del genere psichedelico, e "Moondance" (1970), che lo consacrò come uno dei cantautori più amati al mondo. Morrison è noto per la sua voce potente e distintiva, le sue melodie memorabili e i testi poetici spesso ispirati alla vita quotidiana, all'amore e alla spiritualità. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Brown Eyed Girl", "Gloria", "Domino" e "Into the Mystic". Ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui un Grammy Award nel 1974 per il suo album "Hard Nose the Highway", e nel 2016 è stato nominato Cavaliere dell'Ordine dell'Impero Britannico.
