Van Morrison - Transformation Lyrics






Gonna be a transformation
In your heart and soul
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Now that you know
Get used to righteousness when it makes you feel whole
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Down in your soul

'Member when we were downhearted
Didn't have nowhere to go
And the wisdom of insecurity
Just knowin' that we know
Then something starts happenin'
Feel like you're on a roll
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Down in your soul

But like a river keeps on wantin' to flow
Keeps on advancing with the wisdom you know
Time has a rhythm when the love is the love
Love is forever, baby
Down in your soul

Gonna be a transformation, baby
Down in your soul
Gonna be a transformation
Now that you know
Get used to righteousness 'cause it makes you feel whole
Gonna be a transformation
Down in your soul

Gonna be a transformation
Down in your soul
Gonna be a transformation, baby
Now that you know
Get used to righteousness 'cause it makes you feel whole
Gonna be a transformation
Right down in your soul

    Dit nummer en nog veel meer vind je op www.facebook.com/GouweOuweMuziek!

  38. N.... C....

    こころが笑ってる

  39. W.... B....

    Van hat wieder einmal ein tolles Album abgeliefert! Super! Super ! Super!

  40. E.... T....

    Fantastic song. <3

  41. C.... U....

    Just discovered this great song on 'Later with...Jools Holland' on BBC2 in the UK (25th Anniversary show in the Albert Hall, London), where did you discover it?

  42. T.... d....

    on a sunny day: open garden door and listen to this song

  43. T.... M....

    Do you remember when we used to sing?

  44. j.... w....

    theres only so many varations a lot of artists have songs that are similar his voice is almost as good as it was in the 80s its never going to be as good as in the 70s how many singers can sing with such emotion not many

  45. D.... C....

    Van the man

  46. M.... T....

    Make some oatmeal....a bucket full. No salt butter sugar. Now squash your head into it. That is what today's " alternative " music is. Formless flavorless pointless mush. Thank you for making this awesome album. The question is where is the venue that will play it..... It will scare these millennial-Monsanto-fed oatmeal heads with it's depth and complexity. Amen brother... Props from Generation X.

    M.... T....

    Just heard this, so moving, so deep. I have some sympathy with your view

    M.... T....

    It is a matter of taste ofcourse, but if you ever take the effort to listen for instance to Beth Hart, clearly a great female blues singer from this time, you might be pleasantly surprised. It is not all just crap made nowadays, however I do feel you on this one....

    M.... T....

    Why do people feel the need to shit all over different styles of music to what they enjoy? What makes you think what you are doing is any different from people who used to say "Jazz is just noise" "Rock and roll takes no skill" etc etc etc.

    You are a curmudgeon.

    M.... T....

    ++angus matheson++ I totally agree with you on what you say in your comment. As I said too, it all comes down to a matter of taste and it shows a lot of arrogance to dismiss all other kinds of music.

    M.... T....

    Love your poetry.

  47. D.... P....

    Van Morrison = Stlll the best!

  48. R.... L....

    Jeff Beck?

  49. P.... D....

    ❤❤❤👍❤❤❤

  50. C.... P....

    s.... h....

    steve hewitt I think that he has a captivating voice.It take us to amazing places and discover something new in our hearts.

  54. d.... ....

    So, basically, it's just Tupelo Honey with a few changes borrowed from Why Must I Always Explain...

  55. m.... ....

    888 likes what do I win.

  56. S.... ....

    Man what a beautiful song ( and singer too! ). But could someone please P L E A S E ! print the lyrics to it. I can't find em anywhere. Just saying.

  57. K.... D....

    Oh my...can never get enough Van. He touches my soul and my heart. He makes me feel. sometimes I feel loved, sometimes I feel the need to love, sometimes I cry and sometimes I just revel in the sound and beauty of it all.

  58. c.... b....

    God on Earth

  59. m.... d....

    Wish I could go overseas to see new tour.

  60. h.... v....

    One day i will see this live!

  61. A.... ....

    Happy Blessed Birthday, Van Morrison. We love you! And was so happy to celebrate my 60th birthday at your concert in LA, Ca.
    Many blessings to you!!!!!

  62. M.... N....

    I've been loving this mans music all my life ,no matter what sort of day I've had ,or been having, he just soothes s every part of me.he just give me chills,,, all good one's every time without fail.👽

  63. K.... M....

    Trite retread beyond self-parody. Get a grip Van for christ's sake

    K.... M....

    And this is bad? how again exactly?? No,  Van never had a Techo or Sex Pistols phase....sorry

  64. S.... ....

    Woohoo, this was recorded on July 11, 2017, at London's Porchester Hall. The seat directly in front of the Man in the first row had a "reserved" sign which security removed after the first few songs, so I slid over and enjoyed a sublime show. Too bad they didn't film the audience properly.

  65. C.... B....

    Sublime. Transcendent beyond words. Van is "annointed" in spirit the same way Beethoven was. "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy." Ludwig van Beethoven
    "The only time I actually work with words is when I'm writing a song. After it's written, I release the words; and every time I'm singing, I'm singing syllables. I'm just singing signs and phrases." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/van-morrison-the-poet-19781130

  66. C.... ....

    Uhmm, where is Jeff Beck? It says "Jeff Beck" in the lettering...Must be a mistake.

    C.... ....

    Beck and Farlowe appear on the studio recording, that's why they are listed here. The only guest star at this show was Georgie Fame.

  67. C.... ....

    I love him and listen to him daily (really - I am a Van-Fan) , but it seems he ist struggeling a bit at the beginning. None the less: a lot of stuff in there: Tupelo Honey, No Guru No Methode, Into the Mystic... Stuff I grew with.

  68. W.... B....

    Wieder einmal Super!

  69. C.... M....

    Fantastic... it hearkens back to his early stuff without being a complete re-do... can't wait to hear it in concert

  70. B.... ....

    Nice mellow tune 🎼🎶 But like Dylan, Van is getting harder and harder to understand, except for the chorus.

    B.... ....

    Funny, I was just thinking how clear he sounded compared to a time period when he sounded very much like someone whose false teeth hadn't been fitted and were Clacking around in his mouth with every song he sang.

  71. C.... M....

    this is Bill not Cherlyn--love Ivan! this new one shares a kinship with "Crazy Love"--bring it on!

  72. M.... ....

    he was talking about the eclipse... i was in the path, and there has been a transformation

  73. G.... M....

    Van is and alway will the Man !

  74. h.... ....

    Sounds like he's singing with a mouth full of marbles...

    h.... ....

    Yes, I was just thinking he's getting like Dylan, harder to understand what he is singing. Except for the chorus.

  75. H.... T....

    Did he borrow the intro from the Hall and Oates song SARA SMILE? Nonetheless I still think this is a solid song. Not as good as his classics, but still decent.

  76. F.... G....

    Superb. BTW is that a Conor McGregor custom suit?? LOL

  77. T.... O....

    Maximo love

  78. J.... M....

    Van the man never disappoints

  79. J.... W....

    Love is Forever baby down in your soul... i hear some crazy love in there

  80. B.... D....

    Wonderful genius. X

  81. S.... L....

    Van-the man! The BEST forever!

  82. M.... R....

    Van Morrison is one of the greatest of all time

    M.... R....

    Might be the greatest... Lyrics, compositions, arrangements... in songwriting generally.

    M.... R....

    @Jukka Katajamäki it's either him or Dylan can't make my mind up

  83. K.... B....

    Only Van Morrison!!! Love!

  84. B.... J....

    www.google.com

  85. M.... M....

    This is like a re-recording of Tupelo Honey with new lyrics. Not bad, but hardly original or "new".

    M.... M....

    It is quite similar to both those songs. Nice original lyrics though. His voice seems to keep getting better with time.

    M.... M....

    Rory Mannion well it doesn't seem to be getting any worse which is a big issue for singers his age.

    M.... M....

    If you listen to his 2008 show at Hollywood Bowl and then come here, it's pretty clear that this is a poor recording in addition to his clearly not being in top form and without the astonishing group of musicians of 2008, all these things missing degrading this performance. Age is not necessarily a factor, by the way. Joe Cocker was a heller right up to the end, and so was Leonard Cohen. Bruce Springsteen at 67 is still tearing up the world more then ever, in my opinion. But every artist has periods of lesser performance and Van Morrison is entitled to his. What he has given us all these decades is enough to earn our loyalty and respect through any downswings.

    M.... M....

    It sounds pretty good,but like every other Van Morrison song you've ever heard.

    M.... M....

    It is sad that he falls into repeating himself, and like Michael, I hear echoes of earlier work. And where are the new originals? He needs to retire, but maybe he needs the money.

  86. L.... ....

    He did it again! : )

  87. D.... M....

    Pure soul 👌

  88. h.... t....

    Incredible. The voice 😍😍 love him

  89. E.... M....

    Van is the man.....I love it!!

  90. R.... H....

    Van is tuned into God and man...........Love him and Him...........

    R.... H....

    Rema Hunt Van Morrison IS God. He's done more in REALITY than any other "god" which people believe in.

    R.... H....

    I'm an atheist, but Van gives me religion when he sings...

    R.... H....

    I'm not an atheist but he sure gives me religion. he touches my soul.

    R.... H....

    same to me

  91. L.... P....

    Magnificent as usual

  92. e.... g....

    That's good Van!

  93. L.... A....

    Van Morrison sings to my soul (:

  94. C.... M....

    Great song!
