The Voice Cambodia Facebook Van Morrison, for all his curmudgeonry (it's a word, I found it) has left us a ravishing assortment of work, a typical topic of which is resurrection and reestablishment. As I begin on resolutions I'd like to make for the new year, here are the main 5 Van melodies that will serve to solace and guide me as I do.

"Shiny new Day" - Moondance (1970)

Like quite a bit of Moondance, this one appears to wrap you in a warm cover - and a discernable feeling of trust that something new and entire is coming soon.

"Squandered Years" - Too Long in Exile (1993)

This is a flawless two part harmony with John Lee Hooker, an idea or two from a couple with a couple of years added to the repertoire. Long time fanatics of Van's remember him as a biting individual on occasion, however here a wizened man makes this delighting conclusion: "The colossal bitterness, gracious you must release everything, live in the present, live later on - John Lee ain't that so?"
