“Moondance” by Van Morrison

This is one of my earliest memories of music. I was probably around 4 years old and my parents had a record player and an eclectic record collection. This was fascinating to me. I can remember flipping through all those records, examining the beautiful cover art, and experiencing new sounds. It was my playground.

I distinctly remember asking for this song and dancing around the dining room. The jazz influence guiding my dancing and making me slowly start enjoying a new genre of music. It had a mysterious vibe and awakened some magical part of me.

Now looking back this makes a lot of sense to me. I have always been drawn to the more tragic and complex side of life. This song was a gateway to that side of me. After researching the song a bit and revisiting it I realized that this song still resonates as it taps into the more natural side of life. We are revitalized and living as best we can. It is authentic and contemplative and to this day I can say it is one of my favorite songs.
