"Bulbs" is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and included on his 1974 album, ''Veedon Fleece''. It was chosen as the 'A' side single from the album. ==Recording and composition== "Bulbs" was first recorded with different lyrics at the recording session for the 1973 album, ''Hard Nose the Highway'' released in 1973.〔Heylin, Can You Feel the Silence? p. 521〕'. After the first recording session for Veedon Fleece, "Bulbs" was recut in New York City at Mercury Studios in March 1974, along with "Cul de Sac" to give it a more rock feeling. According to Jef Labes this was "cause he (Morrison) didn't feel they had the right feeling...It was me, Van and a bunch of other guys that he'd never played with."〔Heylin, Can You Feel the Silence? p.284〕 Bass player Joe Macho had previously played on the 1966 Bobby Hebb hit song "Sunny". "Bulbs" has been described as "a pleasant, catchy country ditty, a Dire Straits song before its time" by biographer, John Collis.〔Collis, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart, pp.140-141〕 As with many of Morrison's songs, "Bulbs" does not have a clear story line but in part focuses on immigration to America as in the lines: :''She's leaving Pan American :''Suitcase in her hand :''I said her brothers and her sisters :''Are all on Atlantic sand 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bulbs (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
