This is Van’s spirituality in glowing colours. The browns and oranges of autumn. Hints of mortality; a looking down the years and across a life of song. Reflecting on how, in the stretched out ‘now’ of performance, it all converges: life, love, and the hint of the eternal. As one who has followed Van’s output off and on over the years, and who once led me to find Cypress Avenue in Belfast, this may seem a heretical statement. But part of me hopes this is last Van Morrison record. There’s just too little chance another being this good. I may well be wrong but I doubt Remembering Now can be surpassed as a farewell statement of his musical genius -13th Floor This is Van Morrison remembering how to be in the moment, realising that the days of wonder are not in the past or lying in ruins, they are in the moment. They are now. - Mojo Magazine Track listing: 1. Down To Joy2. If It Wasn’t For Ray3. Haven’t Lost My Sense Of Wonder4. Love, Lover And Beloved5. Cutting Corners6. Back To Writing Love Songs7.
