It's Van Morrison's fifteen-minute jazz-soul meditation on the English countryside and the silence of the soul.

A profound, meditative stillness that seeks the divine through repetitive rhythm and pastoral imagery.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic repetition of 'can you feel the silence' during the climax of Summertime in England.
The way the brass section swells and recedes like breathing on Haunts of Ancient Peace.
The final ten minutes of When Heart Is Open where the music dissolves into pure atmospheric texture.
