Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

A mystical blend of jazz, folk, and soul. These eight tracks feel like a fever dream of childhood memories and spiritual longing captured in a single room.

It's like a 45-minute prayer whispered into a Belfast fog.

A transcendent, mystical yearning that feels both ancient and immediate.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, circular acoustic guitar riff that opens the title track, setting a trance-like state for the entire record.
The way the upright bass dances around the vocal melody on Cyprus Avenue, creating a tension that feels both loose and urgent.
The heartbreaking, repetitive 'get on the train' mantra at the end of Madame George as the strings swell and fade.
