A haunting classic, and this line always struck me:
Quote:
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Yes, the feeling from "everybody knows that the captain lied" is another haunting aspect to that dark classic.
On the flip side, I've always rather considered "Silent Lucidity" to be the yang to its yin:

Perhaps these lyrics make more sense to you old-timers.

yeah, Van Morrison, that is some really creative and beautiful stuff. In the days that I listened to Van Morrison, I knew some people that compared music to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young and Van Morrison and claimed that this guy was the best in the world ever. And yes, they were hickabillies ... :)
Actually, there was a lot of surrounding drama. One of the guys resembled the singer and broke up a relationship between a good friend of mine and his to be future wife and ex. Anyway, during this interlude my friend attempted suicide by downing what was called a hundred lot of speed and had to be rushed to the hospital. I slept through the entire thing but I was told the next day, that my friend's hair was practically standing on end when they rushed him out. I doubt that was true, however.

Hey El Sid, Are you familiar with these guys, I've decided I actually like their music. It has a surprising, to me anyway, a melodic hook. It's different some how.

They're interesting for sure ... they're not Neo-Nazis or anything like that, huh
