You left me in the dust this time.<br /><br />With Van, I don't think it's even a criticism to say that he "meanders" all over the melody of a song. That "meandering" bit is actually the heart (or at least a core element) of the "Van Morrison vocal style". <br /><br />Van just sort of starts out with the structure most of the time as a jumping off point, and then he just lets his mood at the moment take him where it will with the song he's singing. <br /><br />And, of course, he often tends to repeat a word or lyric line until he feels he's wrung it out and achieved the rhythmic twist he was needing, before he moves on and back into the structure of the song again.<br /><br />This was a good BOTB installment, FAE.<br /><br />I'm really curious to see how you're going to vote on my next one, as it's hard for me to predict how most of the regular BOTB voters are going to go on it. I think I know how I'm voting, but I like both recordings so much that even MY vote could change before April 21st.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
