  • Randy from FlaThis song is so dear to me it reminds me of a very special friend Patty McDaniels and her loving family . Thank you Van the MAN !!!
  • Ted Folwarczny from Butler, PaI recognize that the origin of a true artist's inspiration is personal, and therefore somewhat sacrosanct; yet, the images that he/she have often transcend their original vision. "They can't stop us on the road to Freedom; They can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see" are words that should inspire every generation. If so, we may just get there. If I don't see it, maybe my children, or their children will.
  • Alberta from MtLove the lyrics and the bluesy sound! Yes indeed!
  • John P Obie from Marco Island It is about civil rights The word Honey was code to the slaves and it meant freedom. Read the words again it is about the freedom riders and the fight for civil rights. Van stated this in an interview once beautiful song
  • Nikki from Ny, FlMy wedding song, I danced to with my mom and also my dad. They danced to it with me when I was a baby and I played it at my daddy's funeral :( LOVE IT more than words can express. Love Van Morrison always xoxo
