A quite and mystic man and a very mysterious man. He got started early in life with music and literature, like age 3 and 4 when most of us was watching Mickey Mouse on TV. It's amazing how parents can get you started on the RIGHT road. His Mom was a very popular jazz singer before the war. Today he likes to visit a big park in East Belfast. I know a guy who lives in his neighborhood and said sometimes he walks right past him and doesn't say nothing and sometimes he stops to say hello etc. He has 3 more months before he turns the big 70 Aug 31, 2015. He is my favorite composer and singer of all time. Early in his career he had stage freight, but he got over it. I remember the first time I saw him was on a TV show called UPBEAT in 1967, and at the end of the song (Brown Eyed Girl) he looked nuts, but that was the stage freight that he had way back then that I didn't know about until 15 years later.

HERE IS THE LYRICS TO THIS GREAT SONG:You're not supposed to be human You're not supposed to really feel Not supposed to get involved with Anything completely realFifteen families starving All around the corner block Here we're standing so alone Just like Gibraltar rockNot supposed to break down You're not supposed to break down Swallow the dirt, keep listening to the hurt You'll be safe and soundSupposed to be super human Cover everything Just like a bird Cover an egg with its wingAnd knowing there's nothing sacred And what is the use No point trying to find What is worth, what is trueNot supposed to break down You're not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt And you'll be safe and soundYou're not supposed to break down You're not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt You'll be safe and soundA fool and his mainline connection Bypass going to the well But that doesn't matter anymore I'm sure that we can tellWho's a puppet on a string An who really holds the glove But it ain't up, you and me It's up to the Lord aboveYou're not supposed to break down You're not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt, keep on listening to the dirt And I'll bet you'll be safe and soundYou're not supposed to break down You're not supposed to break down Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt I'll bet you'll be safe and soundAnd I'll bet you'll be safe and sound And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound Bet you'll be safe and soundSongwriters VAN MORRISON

Swallow the dirt and listen to hurt, and I bet you will be safe and sound. Sorry I got the two lines mixed up. But in another part of the song VAN says listen to the hurt, and swallow the dirt, and I bet you will be safe and sound. I think he goes back and forth with them, anyway's I'll bet you will be safe and sound.

Swallow the hurt and listen to the dirt, I'll bet that you will be safe and sound. Only your OWN thoughts can anger you, he who angers you conquers you. It doesn't matter what 'he' thinks, only what 'YOU' think. So swallow the hurt and listen to the dirt and I will bet that you will be safe and sound and successful, while HE eventually ends up in prison. End result, you will be happy ever after, HE will be sorry ever after. Listen to Van's words of wisdom.

It sometimes sounds like he is talking about teachers who have to have skin as tough as crocodiles to survive.

Does this bring back memories of lost love and the pain of not being wanted! But it was all part of the journey to the right one. Keep singing Van!

This song has meant so much to me these past few weeks and has really helped me to deal with a family tragedy. I live East Belfast and two weeks ago I met Van in a cafe and told him that this song was better than getting a counsellor. I also mentioned about the wonderful comments on this page.

Van's been a huge part of my life for almost 50 years. I just wish he wasn't such a GROUCH!! How can such beautiful music come from a disgruntled rude egotist?????
