<P> As Morrison biographer Ritchie Yorke described it, the song remembered "how it was when you were a kid and just got stoned from nature and you didn't need anything else". Morrison, in 1985, related the song to a quasi-mystical experience he had as a child: </P> <P> I suppose I was about twelve years old . We used to go to a place called Ballystockart to fish . We stopped in the village on the way up to this place and I went to this little stone house, and there was an old man there with dark weather - beaten skin, and we asked him if he had any water . He gave us some water which he said he'd got from the stream . We drank some and everything seemed to stop for me . Time stood still . For five minutes everything was really quiet and I was in this' other dimension' . That's what the song is about . </P> <P> During this song Morrison sings: "...Stoned me just like Jelly Roll . And it stoned me ." That lyric is thought to be a reference to jazz musician Jelly Roll Morton, whose recordings Morrison listened to with his father as he was growing up . </P> <P> The song has been covered by Jackie Deshannon, Bob Dylan (with Van Morrison), Zero, Jerry Garcia, James Morrison, Widespread Panic, Gov 't Mule, David Gray, The Allman Brothers Band, John Mayer, Passenger, and Joe Higgs . </P>
