Van The Man's storied career, from the seminal Astral Weeks, through recent albums such as Roll with the Punches and The Prophet Speaks, to see his songs presented as prose and poetry once serve to prove yet again that Van Morrison is one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. Featuring 120 love songs, work songs, songs about the pains and anxieties of existence, a constellation, various kinds of spiritual quest and the realms of the mystical, dealing with healing and reconciliation and with the self and with others. Paul Muldoon said, 'This mix of genuine humility and hard-won hubris, of mysticism and technical mastery... makes Van Morrison quite simply, and quite indisputably, 'The Bard of Belfast'.' Lifetimes: 'You sit in silence and the river answers and I have loved you many, many years, I saw you standing by the wondrous river and I have come today to calm your fears. Those lifetimes, so many lifetimes with you. The boat man singin' far across the water. What is this feelin' in my heart and soul? The night-time angel spreads her wings around me and I feel the sadness and the river flows. Those lifetimes, so many lifetimes with you...' A magical anthology which will have you reaching for the vinyl. 242pp in elegant Faber hardback.
