Van Morrison - Soul Lyrics






Soul is a feeling, feeling deep within
Soul is not the colour of your skin
Soul is the essence, essence from within
It is where everything begins

Soul is what you've been through
What's true for you
Where you going to
What you're gonna do

Soul is your station for the folk of your nation
Something that you wear with pride
Soul can be your vision or something that is hidden
It's not something that you gotta hide

Soul is what you've been through
What's true for you
Where you going to
What you're gonna do

Soul can be your station for the folk of your nation
Something that you wear with pride
Soul can be your vision it can be your religion
Something that you just can't hide

Soul is a feeling, feeling deep within
Soul is not the colour of your skin
Soul is the essence, essence from within
Soul is where everything begins

Van Morrison Soul Comments
  1. J.... W....

    Just keeps hitting those nailheads with his stuff, beautiful & timeless..

  2. R.... P....

    Superb record !!!! Love it !!!!

  3. J.... L....

    bellissima canzone 😍👍🤩

  4. R.... P....

    This is where Van truly shines. When he sings from the soul, you feel and understand him. His songs reach deep, where you feel them. Not just hear them. He may not have the most beautiful voice, but he can sing a song better than most. He’s got soul.

  5. M.... K....

    I have loved this man since the 1960's.

  6. Z.... ....

    Esto si es relajante, ni ruiditos de arena ni tonterias varias, full van morrison!

  7. T.... N....

    Excellent song.

  8. l.... c....

    to james bradshaw- I think my comment re: your comment was nothing but positive. do you have the right person? sorry if you were offended by it. peace and joy to you!

  9. P.... B....

    MR Morrison
    I have had many dark nights of the soul only a person who has had a dark night of the soul could write this. I WISHING YOU BLESSING AND PEACE

  10. M.... G....

    Superlatives and praise come gushing forth, the legions of the weary and misunderstood grasp for heroes to give their indistinct and prosaic pains some form, shape-the organ riffs we have heard on many Clapton recordings, I am not a fan of that B3 setting, dark nights of the soul I am familiar with; sometimes I think it comes too easy this middle-road groove, genuine soul or a familiar formula he knows will do the trick? I am having my doubts, it is all nice enough, cosy but I yearn for grittier substance.

  11. T.... H....

    Van The Man.

  12. P.... s....

    Amazing......, but please avail a cheaper concert ticket for standing room in the back?!

  13. J.... H....

    Could any love affair be complete without Van Morrison?

  14. T.... O....

    Van Morrison... ou la grande grande classe!

  15. K.... T....

    Bow down and praise the genius of Van Morrsion, I thank you for being with me most of my long life. Maestro. Thank you.

  16. 5.... D....

    I'm (hopefully) just coming out of a Dark Night of the Soul. Great song. Thank you for creating a song that brings comfort and community to an indescribable experience. Plans gone astray and new day indeed!

  17. F.... P....

    This Song hit me where i cant explain ..no words 💓💓💓💓🌱

  18. M.... E....

    HOW can anyone NOT love Van the Man? Obviously no taste in good music. Love you Van!

  19. F.... F....

    Captivating, enthralling, mesmerizing, soothing, addictive, classic Van today!

  20. M.... N....

    Oh! Music to calm the savage breast by the great Van the Man.

  21. T.... F....

    Van the man is back! Brilliant!!

  22. R.... L....

    If he wasn't such a perfectionist he would have been, but he is always on. His new and later stuff never get's old but he say's he already lived it and is onto the next project. sending Light and messages. Van is a true messenger. Thank You Mr Van Morrison for staying true to yourself and knowing it is what it is.

  23. G.... G....

    Loving you, Van. Carry on, and thank you. Oh, Shenandoah. Have I told you lately?

  24. B.... D....

    This is terrific. That guitar is very Neil Young sounding!

    B.... D....

    It's definitely Van on guitar. I love it too!

  25. N.... R....

    This is good.
    He sounds great for being 103.

    N.... R....

    Nathan Robbin go die prick

  26. D.... C....

    I personally found this track disappointing - it doesn't go anywhere melodically, there's very little movement and lots of short repeats. I know it's broadly pop, but I would still expect more from Van the Man.

    D.... C....

    Perhaps you skipped the last two minutes, when Van and his band absolutely nail it.

  27. G.... W....

    My dad was a huge Van Morrison fan, in turn so am I. When my dad passed away I made a CD with his favorite Van the man songs to play at his viewing at the wake. Nearly everyone that came to pay respects came up to me and told me this was a perfect tribute for Dad. Every time i play one of Van's great songs I can't help but think of Dad and how much we all miss him. Thank you Van Morrison for helping to keep his memory alive for me.

    G.... W....

    Music is a wonderful time machine that I often used to visit forgotten memories of lost loved ones and they come alive again, if only for a short while.
    I used to find it difficult to listen to my dad's favourite songs, mainly because they were bloody awful, joking aside, I did find some stuff difficult as we had all grown up around our parents music and it ingrains into our dna but now after 20 years of his passing I find them a comfort and they remind me that they were songs that made him happy so I should too be happy and not look back in sadness because death does not own these songs - life does.
    Lovely comment Garry.
    Best wishes.

    G.... W....

    Garry Wilson 💯💯💯

    G.... W....

    Well done, Garry! I'll bet your dad was there with you all enjoying the rapture. I hope someone does the same for me when my time comes. Keep up the great work. ;-)

  28. D.... R....

    Just ordered the vinyl...Thanks Van!!!

  29. m.... b....

    As always, another perfect album. You just never age Van. Your music is timeless and touches the soul. Thank you for your contributions to my life.

  30. j.... b....

    Good, now and them

  31. x.... ....

    He should delegate the vocals to someone who can articulate.

    x.... ....

    You're such an idiotic person.

  32. x.... ....

    How dark is it really?

  33. e.... g....

    Grande, Van. Como siempre.

  34. K.... A....

    Has anyone heard "Nobody in Charge" yet? It just popped up on my tablet somehow tonight. It's fabulous!

  35. K.... A....

    This is brilliant.

  36. S.... K....

    My heart loves Van Morrison, one of the greatest performers, musicians, singer that God has ever created. Carry on Van!!! Your music lifts me and touches me right down to my soul.

  37. J.... T....

  42. G.... M....

    Just drenched with feeling and soul, very nice!

  43. P.... B....

    This is one of those songs that is so great that the very first time you hear it you fall in love with it!

  44. m.... ....

  50. J.... C....

    With only my rock salt lamp lighting my room on a cold rainy Belfast night, my girlfriend and I are making sweet love to this song.

  51. A.... d....

    I've heard Van Morrison is a right miserable cunt, 'orrible with it too. However, if true, he does make mighty fine music, including this track. Voted.

  52. A.... W....

    Will love his music forever!

  53. S.... T....

    Love Van Morrison. New and old ⭐⭐⭐

  54. T.... ....

    Legend has it that young George Ivan Morrison was walking along one day and found a lamp. He picked it up and as he started to clean it a genie popped out. The genie told the young lad he would grant him one wish. He wished that he would have the ability to make some of the worlds most beautiful music for everyone to enjoy. The genie said he would have to wish for something else because what he wished for was already his destiny. They say to this day Van has never had to use that wish. ❤️😉❤️

  55. A.... �....

    So good, so good!

  56. T.... ....

    Dude.....he's still soooooooo good!

  57. R.... B....

    Brano capolavoro.
    Suono perfetto e grandioso.
    Feeling da vendere
    Si preannuncia un disco da 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

  58. J.... N....

    Real music 🎶

  59. M.... C....

    "Then all the knights will step forth with their arm bands" are the lightworkers. Knightlights :)
    Arm bands are geometric light patterns representing frequency.

  60. m.... ....

    Love this song! Thank you for sharing your amazing voice and music with the world; much appreciated :))))

  61. W.... P....

    Oh, muse sing though me................

  62. K.... S....

    I truly can’t believe how incredible this song is. I also can’t wait for a 10 minute live version!

    K.... S....

    Yeah, a ten minute rambling, that would be something to pray for.

  63. T.... M....

    One of the greatest. Sometimes i walk on the street and start hearing Tupelo honey from the heaven :)

  64. N.... G....

    May God blessed this Dark Night of the Soul

  65. L.... a....

    If you gave this a thumbs down you have no soul!!!!

    L.... a....

    Absobloodylutly brilliant

    L.... a....

    @Edward Sadler, i'm giving a thumbs down because the lead in says "full album".......this is one song

    L.... a....

    It sounds melodically like many of his other songs; derivative.

  66. M.... �....

    Eat shit

  67. J.... T....

    Sweeet sweeet van💓💓

  68. j.... b....

    An angel of the Lord appeared  and said something has to be done about the bad things that are happening in this beautiful world, there is too much pain, suffering and sorrow, wars and conflict, it must be stopped, people should know a better way that is good for all. At that moment the Lord said I have a thought, I will send a man to the troubled land in the North of Ireland, he will possess the greatest spirit, he will give great hope, he will give great joy, he will share his wisdom through his music, he will continue to tour  all of his days on this earth, he will not ask you for anything, he will not want you to build him, he will not become your king, he will always be himself, he will not want to be asked questions about his many great songs, he will be himself, he will mix with greats  but his will not get trapped in a false glamours world, he will be a secrete man, he will be a Celtic man, his words and music will become a healing force and in the words of the other great writer/storyteller/singer Phil Lynott, he will take no lip  and man will become know as Van the Man Morrison.

    j.... b....

    And so it came to pass. And it was good. Really, really, really, really, really, really good, so really, really good.

    j.... b....

    @dsslaw Yes you are completely correct, I can not agree more with you, yes Really, really, really, really, really, really good, so really, really good.

    j.... b....

    Very nicely put thank you, but boy he sure has paid the price for that load, poor van still paying the price for selling his soul to the devil I.e the music and entertainment industry he's still hits despair but he always manages to find the strength to dig deeper to get back on top and for that I have huge respect for the man I've been down many times myself before but the good Lord has his way if you reach out and seek. Personally I wish van could bow out on this album do one more tour and let the man rest and enjoy the fruits of his labor
    I just heard the whole album for the first time and it's beautifully honest uplifting and sad at the same time only Van the man huh

    j.... b....

    @linda castellitto Thank Linda, I know that my poor attempt to explain this man is not good enough, smarter people then I can do much better

    j.... b....

    Beautifully said Thank You!!

  69. K.... J....

    i am in love with bob dylan helpme make it through the night

  70. E.... K....

    Reminds me of the "Hard nose the highway" album - but that is not bad.... In fact, it's gooooodd !!!

  71. M.... A....

    I heard this song for the first time on the radio and as it started, I thought "Oooh, I like this - it sounds like a proper song'. Of course it is - it's Van! Not some tinnie rubbish that the formula houses produce.

  72. J.... K....

    Magnificent... :)

  73. H.... R....

    B"H, Thank God a new album. Torah says that "Darkness has NO essence, one candle can shine away the dark. Darkness is simply the self-perceived lack of continual light". So the remedy when we DO find a lack of light, to be joyful with God brings back the light.

  74. D.... S....

    Goodnight world...in the dark, dark, in the dark, dark night of the sou, the soul, the soul, soul, soul.

  75. L.... M....

    Beautiful Video 💃💃🌹👍💯🔥💃♥️🔥😍

  76. C.... B....

    Bravo Norirlandes. Es genial que sigas con tanta fuerza deleitándonos con tu buenísima música.

  77. B.... ....

    Yes kiddies, you to can become a Van The Man fan...just have a listen....

  78. C.... D....

    Stumbled across this song and fell in love with it

    C.... D....

    There's a lot more where that came from with Van Morrison!
    You should check out his albums Magic Time and Poetic Champions Compose.
    Magic Time tracks: Magic Time, Stranded, Celtic New Year, Gypsy in My Soul
    Poetic Champions Compose Tracks: Sometimes I feel like a Motherless Child,
    I forgot that love existed Give, me my rapture today

  79. U.... M....

    still love it!!

  80. K.... J....

    You get the groove going. The congregation enters and then when all is in place, the groove continues and you start jumping across the beat, skipping in and out, weaving, dancing, playing. You put yourself into a trance and you reveal yourself to yourself. That’s what it’s all about. Don’t you get it? Better try again. Get in there!

  81. R.... M....

    Guys and Gals I reckon this will be a great album!

  82. K.... M....

    Van at his very best. His genius never ceases to amaze me.

  83. M.... P....

    This is crying out for 3 screamers doing background vocals.

    M.... P....

    @tammy davis Femail backing vocalists

    M.... P....

    I knew that part lol
    Just curious why needs to to be changed I stead of appreciated? Dude goes back to full live band and 40+ years....this is Van Morrison, not a DJ mixing board lol

    M.... P....

    @tammy davis Towards the end of the track it falls apart and his vocals at the end are simply not working it needs filled out with backing vocalists otherwise it sounds like dead space.I know what He is, it is my job.

  84. M.... W....

    Van the man's back with another great number, and he's as cool as usual. This guy's got such timing that's how he slips into your soul. He's such a soother, and he's been around ever since this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BDoV6hBNMY

  85. S.... A....

    Better than ever.

  86. R.... T....

    I discovered this Monster of Rock & Roll thanks to THE BAND's THE LAST WALTZ movie by Martin Scorsese! Never stopped hearing his amazing tunes since.

  87. N.... P....

    Some parts of this song ("Oh night that joined the lover") reminds me on Neville Goddard´s book on conscious and subconconcious. And I agree with you all: VM is really great!

  88. G.... P....

    ❤️🇩🇰

  89. A.... W....

    I got here by accident. I have liked his music since 'Tupelo Honey' was released in October 1971 .

  90. R.... M....

    Van "I wish he was my Uncle" Morrison. I love the new song. He still sounds great singing now in his 70's.

    R.... M....

    Hey Ron....I'm sitting here in the Fifth row floor... waiting for Van Morrison to come on!!! I just can't believe it!

  91. C.... ....

    Instant classic

  92. t.... c....

    When people are cruel to others.

  93. P.... M....

    cuantos genios irlandeses👏👏👏👏👏

  94. P.... M....

    es que me encantaaaaa, geniooooo único increíble Van Morrison😗😗😗😗

  95. P.... C....

    Absolutamente genial....

  96. R.... ....

    Love this song, the lyrics, the music, and the great instrumentation! One of his best in years.

  97. H.... T....

    It is a theological term from St John of the Cross, when a person is very close to God but then feels desolation, something like when Jesus was on the cross and He asked why God abandoned Him.

    H.... T....

    Actually it happens to everybody. And the sentiment was recorded long before that.

    H.... T....

    Marty McSuperFly! : My understanding is that is that the term itself describes a specific spiritual experience, not the general feelings or sentiment that we all have.

    H.... T....

    Thanks so much for this information.

    H.... T....

    @Hawthorne Tree We all have "spiritual experiences"... You absolutists just have to quantify it. I´m sure Muhammed the Mighty and Rabbi Rabinowitz had the same experience. People in THAT business get them every night!

  98. M.... M....

    Matt Waite brought me here ...

    Vantastic
    Vanbulous
