Van Morrison - Days Like These (1995)

Genre: Blues

Cover

The cover of the album showed Morrison and his girlfriend Michelle Rocca walking a pair of greyhounds. It was his first album in 24 years to feature a female companion on the cover.

The last had been the cover of Tupelo Honey with his then-wife "Janet Planet"

Songs

His daughter, singer-songwriter Shana Morrison performed duets with her father on two tracks, "You Don%27t Know Me" and "I%27ll Never Be Free".

"Ancient Highway" was nine minutes long and contained the words "praying to my higher self/Don%27t let me down".

It is said to be the one song on the album where he comes closest to following his muse. The title track has continued to be a popular song in concert to the present day.

Most of the songs are reflective and seem to come during a time of self-examination. "No Religion" came about Morrison explained when he was thinking: "Wouldn%27t it be great just to be born and nobody told you there was such a thing as religion? Say it didn%27t exist and you were just told that all you%27ve got is this life and that%27s it...and there%27s no heaven, no hell." The song, "Songwriter" spoke of his songwriting techniques as a practical application instead of inspired as in the past.[2] "Meloncholia" and "Underlying Depression" continue the theme of soul searching.

Critical acclaim

Days Like This was Morrison%27s best selling non-compilation album and was nominated for the Mercury Music Award.

David Sinclair in Q describes the album as a "glorious return to form".

Tom Moon%27s Rolling Stone review states: "There are moments of genius followed by lavish displays of questionable taste, sometimes within the same song.
