Van Morrison – On Hyndford Street (Live from Cyprus Avenue, Belfast)
The middle-class suburban Cyprus Avenue was made famous in his song of the same name on the Astral Weeks album.
Van was born in a small house in the working-class Hyndford Street, just a few blocks away from the Avenue.

Van Morrison – Listen to the Lion (full version)
Van Morrison – “Listen to the Lion”, taken from his sixth solo album Saint Dominic’s Preview (July 1972 Warner Bros). “Listen to the Lion” was first recorded during the sessions for Morrison’s third solo album Moondance in 1969 but not used. The longer eleven-minute version that is featured on the Saint Dominic’s Preview album was recorded during the 1971 sessions at the Columbia Studios in San Francisco and intended for the album Tupelo Honey.
I find “Listen to the Lion” uplifting, and heartbreaking at the same time. Van confronts all his dreams, all his doubts, and all of the tangled web of the Celtic diaspora and mysticism and emerges triumphant. It’s almost a hymn. I like to hear a CS Lewis Lion (Aslan) in this song. This song is one of the defining tracks of Morrison’s career, comparing it with works such as “The Garden”, “Into the Mystic”, and “You Don’t Pull No Punches, But You Don’t Push the River”.

Lyrics:
And all my love come down
All my love come tumblin’ down
All my love come tumblin’ down
All my love come tumblin’ down
Oh, listen listen
To the lion
Oh, listen listen listen
To the lion…
Inside of me
Oh, oh, oh
And I shall search my soul
I shall search my very soul
And I shall search my very soul
I shall search my very so-o-oul
For the lion
For the lion
For the lion
For the lion…
Inside of me
Oh, oh, yeah
And all my tears have flown
All my tears like water flown
And all my tears like water flown
All my tears like-a water flown
For the lion
For the lion
For the lion
For the lion…
Inside of me
Listen to the lion [14 times]

Van Morrison – Dark Night Of The Soul (Audio)
New Music from Van the man. A surprise to all his fans, Van is back to his soulful roots-which is the conventional interpretation. My thoughts are that he never left his soulful roots behind. A musician of his talent puts the fullness of his creation into all that he does.

Van Morrison – Keep Me Singing (EPK)
We all have songs that bring us to a higher place than lust, passion or garden variety heart longing. Recently I opened up a box of CDs, in storage for the last 3 years, including Van 
I recall this song from prior listenings yet it did not have quite the same
Today I truly heard, “and all our friends came thru..” with clarity.
Transcendent? A resounding YES for me. No song better captures “pure” heart love than this one. Let me know what you think in the comments below this post. How about the alchemy of musical genres in one composition (folk, r&b, jazz, gospel) alone? For the uninitiated few, heretofore not introduced to the early works of
