Brown-eyed Girl by Van Morrison

It's kind of got an island sound to it. The upbeat sound lends to the idea that it could take place on a sunny beach. It's playful and fun to listen to.

Crazy Love by Van Morrison

I am a big fan of Van Morrison's acoustic sound and how his instruments sound natural as opposed to synthesized, even when an electric guitar is involved, it doesn't overpower the rest of the music. The blues he exudes sound authentic rather than manufactured. That is one thing that is sorely missing from today's pop music. Even the supposedly "real" Jonas Brothers are heavily synthesized.

Someone Like You by Van Morrison

Van Morrison's music is the kind of music that I love to listen to no matter what mood I'm in. His bluesy sound usually helps me escape to a more pleasant plane, no matter where I start out in my head. His lyrics are often poetic and touching, affectionate and sincere, unlike a lot of today's lyrics that involve a lot of sexual innuendo.
