{"product_id":"remembering-now-vinyl-by-van-morrison","title":"Remembering Now (Vinyl) - By: Van Morrison","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith ‘Remembering Now’, Van Morrison returns to the transcendent, uncategorisable rhapsodies that make him unique. Soul, jazz, blues, folk, country - this is music in conversation with all of them but limited by none. Its rich with hallmarks of classic Van Morrison, from dominant themes of love in spirit with the great ‘Someone Like You’ (the escapist romance of ‘Once In A Lifetime Feelings’, the self-deprecating candour of ‘The Only Love I Ever Need Is Yours’) to specific references to locations from his youth in the title track and ‘Stomping Ground’. The title of another song, ‘When the Rains Came’, echoes a lyric from his classic ‘Brown Eyed Girl’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the radiant opener, ‘Down to Joy’, to the joyously resilient ‘Haven’t Lost My Sense of Wonder’, Van Morrison’s voice, guitar and saxophone continue to mesmerise and he is surrounded, as always, by a fabulous band - Richard Dunn  (Hammond organ), Stuart McIlroy (piano), Pete Hurley (bass) and Colin Griffin (drums and percussion) - who have worked with him since ‘Three Chords and the Truth’ in 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond his key band members, ‘Remembering Now’ features an array of accomplished collaborators.  Its strings were arranged and directed by Fiachra Trench (Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello), whose association with Van Morrison goes back to ‘Avalon Sunset’ in 1989. Those strings were performed by the Fews Ensemble led by Joanne Quigley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOther contributions come from Michael Beckwith, the founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center, the renowned lyricist Don Black (Ennio Morricone, John Barry, Quincy Jones); and the acclaimed folk artist Seth Lakeman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLabel\u003cbr\u003e\nVirgin Records US\u003cbr\u003e\nGenre\u003cbr\u003e\nPop \u0026amp; Rock Side A\u003cbr\u003e\nDown to Joy\u003cbr\u003e\nIf It Wasn't for Ray\u003cbr\u003e\nHaven't Lost My Sense of Wonder\u003cbr\u003e\nLove, Lover and Beloved\u003cbr\u003e\nSide B\u003cbr\u003e\nCutting Corners\u003cbr\u003e\nBack to Writing Love Songs\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Only Love I Ever Need Is Yours\u003cbr\u003e\nOnce in a Lifetime Feelings\u003cbr\u003e\nSide C\u003cbr\u003e\nStomping Ground\u003cbr\u003e\nMemories and Visions\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen the Rains Came\u003cbr\u003e\nSide D\u003cbr\u003e\nColourblind\u003cbr\u003e\nRemembering Now\u003cbr\u003e\nStretching Out\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RHYTHM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50025025831105,"sku":"4003445659","price":75.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/6482\/1953\/files\/461119-Product-0-I-638917037576737072.jpg?v=1772412589","url":"https:\/\/techsupplyshed.co.nz\/products\/remembering-now-vinyl-by-van-morrison","provider":"TECH SUPPLY SHED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
