What an exquisite song, one of Van Morrison‘s truly perfect pieces of meditative music. ’In The Garden’ appears on the 1986 album ‘No Guru No Method No Teacher.’ The title of the album may have been his answer to fans and media who wanted to know who he followed – or maybe not! There’s little point in trying to analyse his music – it is always better to listen and allow it to speak at the point of its intention, a deeper place.
In 1987 Van Morrison organised a conference at Loughborough University called the ‘The Secret Heart Of Music’ exploring the power of music to change consciousness. Despite his efforts, it was reported that he couldn’t or wouldn’t engage in the workshops. I smiled when I read that.
Van Morrison may look like a grumpy cab driver but man can he sing, and he can write a bit too!
I have been waiting for some more music
Love it when you post a good tune!!
Nice one – there’s plenty more where that came from!
I absolutely love Van Morrison! Thank you
Welcome, ye of immaculate taste!
So much came out of that era.
You’re right. And not a hint of the dreaded Autotune!
Heart felt, tearful joy, thank you for sharing “In the Garden”!!!!

Van is one of my all time favorites, but I always thought of him as a hard-rock 60s guy…
