I wondered how it was possible that this Van Morrison track slipped from my playlists – and then I glanced at length of track (11+ minutes) and I understood. I was in too much of a hurry. 11 minutes was an eternity. Today, I didn’t want this tune to end.
“Listen to the Lion” has been said to rank amongst Morrison’s greatest work. During the 11-minute voyage, first recorded in 1969, he sings, shouts, improvises lines, delays and omits them, until he symbolically re-creates the sound of an unleashed lion within himself. It remains a considerable achievement.
I’ve played this tune on a loop for 3 days. Here’s my new favorite Van Morrison song…enjoy!*
*Note: The video is a bit “disconnected” – live performance would have been preferred…
