Van Morrison (Belfast, Northern Ireland, August 31 , 1945), is a singer, songwriter and musician Northern Ireland, with great mastery of instruments like the harmonica, guitar, saxophone and piano. Because of his distinctive voice and the blending of folk, blues, country and gospel often makes in his songs, Morrison is widely considered one of the most influential singers and musicians in contemporary music. In this, the music critic Greil Marcus even said that "no white man sings like Van Morrison ."
Over the years, Van Morrison has achieved a record very own musical. Much of his music is structured around las convenciones del soul americano y del R&B ( Brown Eyed Girl, Moondance, Wild Night... ) mientras que otra parte de su catálogo se compone de etapas musicales inspiradas en la tradición celta, en el jazz y en el monólogo interior. Ambas partes son denominadas conjuntamente como Celtic Soul .
" Tupelo Honey " es una canción publicada en su álbum homónimo de 1971. El nombre deriva de una miel cara y de sabor suave producida en el sureste de los Estados Unidos.
Bob Dylan , que llegó a cantar el tema con Morrison en los años 90, remarcó que "Tupelo Honey" había existido siempre and that Morrison was merely the vessel and the earthly vehicle to get there . The melody, with a strong soul, was inherited from another of the great successes of the Belfast Lion, Crazy Love, and used subsequently in Why Must I Always Explain? .
In a review for Uncut magazine, David Cavanagh wrote: "Constructed from a soft flute and then pushed forward by jazz drummer Connie Kay had played in Astral Weeks, Tupelo Honey is sung by a man who grabbed us by the lapels and will not let us go until we understand precisely what is experiencing. In an album where the voices are elated, to say the least, this song shows Morrison using the larynx, diaphragm, teeth and tongue to find new ways to state the verse: She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey / She's alright with me .
Puede take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight Into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
She's an angel of the
first degree She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey Just like honey
from the bee You can not stop
us on the road to freedom
You can not keep us' cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Just like honey from the bee
You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)
You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea
Because she's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Just like honey from the bee
She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as Tupelo Honey
Just like the honey, baby, from the bee
She's my baby, you know she's alright...
