Fails WP:NSONG. Not a single, so I couldn't find any reviews or context outside of the album. Sourced to a Van Morrison fan site which apparently tracks song plays (although it doesn't say from where, and this wouldn't be an indication of notability anyway), and a track listing to prove it's on an album. A redirect wouldn't be useful as this is the title track of the parent album, and a search would bring up that album before this song anyway. Richard3120 (talk) 22:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - Looks like it's been redirected. I agree with Richard3120 that it's not a terribly notable song outside of being well-received within the context of the album. I suppose notability would be strengthened if more RS were found that highlighted how often Van plays it, how it's regarded as one of his better later songs, etc., per the unredirected article. I didn't find that. Caro7200 (talk) 12:44, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- If it's been redirected there's no point carrying on with this discussion – I'll withdraw the nomination for now and see if it stays redirected, I can always open up another AfD in the future if necessary. Richard3120 (talk) 14:50, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- Concur with retarget, oppose delete. It fails WP:NSONG, but the redirect populates wholly different categories to the album, and such categories are useful search tools. Narky Blert (talk) 04:13, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
