Back about five years ago, I was in love with it and went to download Van Morrison's version from one of those shoddy illegal sites where you end up with hacked-to-bits tracks. That's all I could manage to find, but I didn't know it at the time. I just assumed Morrison preferred to make this his entire song:<BR/><BR/><I>When your lover has gone away<BR/>Don't it make you feel so sad?<BR/>And you go on a journey way into the land<BR/>And you start breakin' down<BR/>'Cause you're under the strain<BR/>And you jump on a fast train.</I><BR/><BR/>That verse, over and over, for five minutes. Whoever spliced it did a great job of it, because it's one of the most mesmerizing mp3s ever.Tom Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322095900264022202noreply@blogger.com
