Van Morrison Biography

Van Morrison was born in Belfast in 1945, the son of a shipyard worker who collected American blues and jazz records. Van grew up listening to the music of Muddy Waters, Mahalia Jackson, Lightnin' Hopkins and John Lee Hooker. As a teenager he played guitar, sax and harmonica with a series of local Irish showbands, skiffle and rock'n'roll groups before forming an r&b band called Them in 1964.

The rest of the spirit poem is written while in trance second part So they return their outer shell It was only lent to you so you can't keep it nor sell Remember the grave you have made isn't a spirit store You are only giving the body back to its owner for sure Only flesh and bones decaying to its atom core But the soul surely beyond your mind shore You shall see the astral body with magical lore He is not dead but dancing on the tune of Angelic flute And so this isn't for earthly commercial musical recruit But for spiritual awakening from this life's dooms As human's already paying high price for being arrogant fools So answer the angelic knock on your door have you got the clue You purpose to send a message to humanity not for false applause Before your days wither and time swiftly flow Mystic Scheherazade
