“Into the Mystic” by Van Morrison has been featured in various movies since 1971, including Sweets McGee and two films in 1989: Dream a Little Dream and Immediate Family. It was played in the 1998 movie Patch Adams and again in the 1999 movie Kate’s Addiction. The song is known for its upbeat nature and its use as Jim and Michelle’s first dance.
In 1975, Irish-American friends Jimmy Markum, Sean Devine, and Dave Boyle were playing street hockey in Charlestown, Boston when they were attacked by two police officers. Van Morrison’s 1970 album Moondance, a mysterious ballade, features the song as the heart of Moondance. The song’s classic sense of timing and guitar strums fading into watery notes on a piano make it a favorite among the Sixties generation of British rockers.
The song was also featured in the movie “Immediate Family” with James Woods and Glenn Close. The relaxed, steady groove of “Into the Mystic” makes it an ideal song for surgeons to listen to before surgery. The song’s primal terror and slide guitar playing have transfixed the Sixties generation of British rockers. The song’s popularity can be traced back to its inclusion in the movie soundtracks and its iconic role in the film.
