"Sweet Thing" is one of the songs included on Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison's 1968 acclaimed second album ''Astral Weeks''. It was on the first side of the album, that was under the heading: ''In the Beginning''. The song was later used in 1971 as the American B-side to Morrison's single "Blue Money". ==Recording and composition== "Sweet Thing" was recorded during the last ''Astral Weeks'' session on October 15, 1968 at Century Sound Studios in New York City with Lewis Merenstein as producer.〔Heylin, Can You Feel the Silence?, p. 518〕 It was written after Morrison had met his future wife Janet while on tour in the US in 1966 and during the year of separation after he returned to Belfast. It is the only song on the album that looks forward instead of backward:〔Heylin, Can You Feel The Silence?, p. 157〕 :''You shall take me strongly in your arms again :''And I will not remember that I ever felt the pain Van Morrison described the song to Ritchie Yorke: "'Sweet Thing' is another romantic song. It contemplates gardens and things like that...wet with rain. It's a romantic love ballad not about anybody in particular but about a feeling."〔Yorke, Into the Music, p. 57〕 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「Sweet Thing (Van Morrison song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
