The song "Gloria" by Van Morrison is about a woman named Gloria who comes around the singer's house just about midnight. The singer sings about how Gloria makes him feel good, and how she is the perfect girl for him. Throughout the song, the singer sings "G-l-o-r-i-a" followed by the word "gloria," and says that he is going to shout it all night and every day. The repetition of "gloria" helps to emphasize the importance of the girl and the good feelings she brings.
The use of the name "Gloria" is also interesting as it is a Latin name that means "glory." It is possible that the singer is using the name "Gloria" as a metaphor to represent the glory and awe he feels when he is with this girl. Alternatively, it could represent the way he sees her as a symbol of glory or a shining light in his life.
The song "Gloria" is also notable for its catchy beat and upbeat tone. It has become a rock classic and is often played at parties and clubs. Additionally, the song has been covered by a number of artists, including the Doors, AC/DC, and Patti Smith. The Doors' version, in particular, became very famous and was one of their biggest hits.

I'm 18 year's old and I was playing nothing but '80s on New Years Eve, because 99% of the music now days is crap. Jealous of past generations.

This song always reminds me of my mother. She had a pretty hard life, 2 divorces one from an abusive alcoholic, raised 4 kids, and died at 42 of cancer. But on occasion this song would play on the radio and she'd forget her worries for just a moment and sing it like Laura Brangahan herself. My best memories was when I was in college and we went to 2 weddings within 2 years and we danced to this practically clearing that dance floor. I just remember her wide smile and how happy she was in the moment. After the 2nd wedding, she was gone by the following year, but before she went I played this for her in the hospital and tho she couldn't sing, she flashed that signature smile. This song will forever and always be her song to me.
