A Sense of Wonder

Van Morrison

A mid-eighties blend of Celtic folk, jazz, and spiritual soul. Warm, literary, and deeply introspective music for quiet, solitary mornings.

It's like a warm cup of tea and a book of poetry on a foggy Irish morning.

A peaceful, literary-minded meditation that finds spiritual resonance in quiet moments and classic poetry.
