老歌亂談(669)Into The Mystic
此曲為北愛爾蘭歌手兼詞曲作家Van Morrison自寫自唱,收錄於其1970的專輯《Moondance》以及1974的現場專輯《It's Too Late To Stop Now》中。
歌曲述說的是一名船員,要回到他愛人的身邊,但當聽到霧號聲 ( 通常因天候起霧、視線不佳,岸上的燈塔也會發出霧號。),這表示離陸地 ( 家 ) 不遠了,但也極其危險,因稍有不慎,判斷錯誤,船就會撞上礁岩。有人將霧號想成是「死亡的召喚」,但也不能因此而畏懼,若不勇往直前,怎能突破困境或知道最後的結果呢?此對愛情亦然。此曲原名《Into The Misty》,但Van Morrison為了讓聽者有更多的想像及詮釋的空間,而將Misty改成了Mystic。
依據英國廣播公司 ( BBC ) 的調查,由於此曲有讓人冷靜、舒緩氛圍的效果,是外科醫師在手術時最普遍愛收聽的歌曲之一 ( 真的假的?)。倒是有許多人,尤其是對生活不甚如意或是正遭遇挫折的人,對此曲特別的有感觸,認為具有勵志及撫慰心靈的療效。

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...
Too late to stop now...

Van Morrison創作的歌曲中大多充滿著神祕主義、禪修、新世紀思想的色彩,難怪攝影家張照堂稱呼他-梵‧莫里森。
認為都是詩人級的歌曲作家
看此曲的前兩句歌詞:
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
就夠想半天的了
其實我聽Van Morrison的歌不多
比較喜歡他在Them時期
和有些靈魂藍調的搖滾曲風
看他唱歌,可以感覺出的確是有個幾把刷子^^
