Something Wonderful: Van Morrison-When The Leaves Come Falling Down
byVanderleunonNovember 19, 2021
Oh, the last time I saw Paris in the streets, in the rain And as I walk along the boulevards with you, once again
I saw you standing with the wind and the rain in your face
And you were thinking ’bout the wisdom of the leaves and their grace
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, come falling down
And at night the moon is shining on a clear, cloudless sky
And when the evening shadows fall I’ll be there by your side
When the leaves come falling down
In September when the leaves, come falling down
Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down
To the place beside the garden and the wall
Follow me down, follow me down
To the space before the twilight and the dawn
Oh, the last time I saw Paris in the streets, in the rain
And as I walk along the boulevards with you, once again
And the leaves come falling down
In September, when the leaves come falling down
Follow me down, follow me down, follow me down
To the place between the garden and the wall
Follow me down, follow me down
To the space between the twilight and the dawn
And as I’m looking at the color of the leaves, in your hand
As we’re listening to Chet Baker on the beach, in the sand
When the leaves come falling down,
Oh in September, when the leaves come falling down
Oh when the leaves come falling down
Yeah in September when the leaves come falling down
When the leaves come falling down
In September, when the leaves come falling down
When the leaves come falling down in September, in the rain
When the leaves come falling down
When the leaves come falling down in September, in the rain
When the leaves come falling down
Van has so many great tunes it is hard to say which is a favorite, but this one is among the top few best of his entire repertoire.
Beautiful to listen to this as the new dawn is breaking and the last of the leaves come falling down here.
My first album was Morrison, I was in high school, so it had to be 72/73. Actively looking for tickets to his show, when he again comes to Reno Nov. saw him at GSR, pre China Bug, wonderful show.
Show was at least two hrs long. A gifted Musician, and an amazing voice. Highly recommend attending if in your area.

Van is certainly The Man. He is sometimes a Dadaist, sometimes a mystic, sometimes a song and dance man. He brings wicked talent to all of it. Nowadays, he’s singing against Covid fuckery. Imagine that: a musical artist speaking truth to power. No really; not some bullshit imagined lib truth to power shit. Actual “this stuff we’re being handed by the powers is fecal matter and I’m finished with it” shit. He’s got Eric Clapton with him. I think it’s historic.
Off topic but it’s keeping me awake at night. What is the reason for the LA (and Seattle) port logjam? I mean really; nothing I’ve read makes sense, and of course the media and Biden aren’t telling us. They don’t offload the ships by hand, like in some b grade pirate movie. It is massive cranes, forklifts, data input, truck driving. You can’t tell me those jobs don’t pay more than welfare. I belive welfare pays better than McDonalds and dairy Queen, but longshoreman work is coin.
Also, what do longshoremen get paid for? To work? Wrong! They get paid for being in the union. Work don’t enter into it. I want to know if they’re getting paid right now.
Is it that enough of them fall athwart the vax mandate, and are blocked from working? Is the union actually allowing them to go unpaid because of the mandate violations? I’d love to really know.
If Trump was all-of-a-sudden president tomorrow, what would happen at the docks? It would get unfukt. You know this. That it is a logjam is absolutely, a hundred percent, the pleasure of Joe Biden. Also: Gavin Newsom.
OK. Back to the music.

To answer your question, I should have offered links to share, but I have several other things going on right now with 6 windows open on my desktop.
In a nutshell, as I understand it, there are two factors weighing in on this shipping container logjam debacle; You hit on one of them – many workers, including many among the Teamsters membership are refusing the Vaxx. Second, I read something very recently that the boy wonder, Newsom signed some new green restrictions that disallow trucks older than 3 years (maybe it was 5 years) into California, because he is another douchebag claiming to save the planet.
At this point in the clown show, I am convinced all of this fuckery is intentional and planned. These assholes wish to take down the dollar and the USA. They so desperately want to control you, me and every other being on the planet.
I’ve said for many years that the Democrats want power and only power. They are drunk with power…..and it’s not enough. They want more! They are happy to destroy the economy and the nation, as long as they are the ones to hold onto the reigns of power.

OK, good data on the trucks issue. As you say, no full explanation is presented. It’s like the Las Vegas hotel sniper; no explanation that fits, and fuck you, America. Just fuck you.
When we lost the news media to almost full time lying, the result is that you operate in the dark. Like Lee without his cavalry, deep in enemy territory. We are blind. Here is why I say: start thinking inductively, at least part of the time. The overall headlines will explain the details, if not properly available through the news.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

No supply chain? Marxists? Got it.
Thanks, again, Kevin.
