This idea sprung from here.
Track 1 Side 1 - And It Stoned Me is here.
Track 2 Side 1 - Moondance is here.
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache in the night like a thief
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
--Crazy Love
I've been singing this song for years. I'll be singing it until the day I die. I hope somebody sings it to me when I'm lying in my coffin. It would be badass if they sang it in a falsetto, like Van does. I don't do that, because I don't want clear out the room. But I would if I could.
When Van was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2003, Ray Charles sang this song with him. Ray Charles does not duet on non-great songs. If Ray Charles sings one of your songs, that song belongs in a safe deposit box.
