Days Like This

Van Morrison

Polished mid-90s soul and jazz-inflected rock. A smooth, professional surface that occasionally cracks to reveal deep existential longing and spiritual searching.

It's the ultimate 'Sunday morning with a coffee' record that gets surprisingly deep if you actually listen.

A sophisticated blend of professional contentment and lingering spiritual restlessness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's effortless horn hook that feels like a sudden burst of sunlight through clouds.
The sprawling nine-minute journey of Ancient Highway where the band settles into a deep, hypnotic groove.
The vulnerable vocal interplay on the tracks featuring his daughter, adding a rare familial warmth.
