On his official site, Alan Pert sums up Morrison's spiritual exploring onrepparttar album Days Like This. “Morrison continues his lifelong exploration ofrepparttar 105988 human psyche, offering up highly entertaining and danceable tunes about everything from love to manic depression. While all of Morrison's albums fromrepparttar 105989 early 1990's had expressed a desire to go back to childhood and early adolescence when "everything made more sense" and he was most capable of experiencingrepparttar 105990 elusive "sense of wonder,"repparttar 105991 memory in "Ancient Highway" is of being older, of feeling isolated and restless, of needing to leave home and childhood behind forever, and he is afraid of failure: "I keeping praying to my higher self, don't let me down..." Extract ofrepparttar 105992 Ancient Highway “ There's a small cafe onrepparttar 105993 outskirts of town I'll be there whenrepparttar 105994 sun goes down Whererepparttar 105995 roadside bends And it twists and turns Every new generation And I'll be praying to my higher self Don't let me down, keep my feet onrepparttar 105996 ground There's a roadside jam playin' onrepparttar 105997 edge of town In a town called Paradise nearrepparttar 105998 ancient highway Whenrepparttar 105999 train whistle blows Allrepparttar 106000 sadness that Hank Williams knows Andrepparttar 106001 river flows Call them pagan streams and it spins and turns In a factory in a street called Bread in East Belfast Where Georgie knows best What it's like to be Daniel inrepparttar 106002 lion's den Got so many friends only most ofrepparttar 106003 time” I picked Morrison's music up because he is still creating innovative material and is not like others rock stars who recycle their greatest hits. “Great art incarnates truth, gives shape to beauty, and joins inner longing with outer form. Van Morrison has provided Christians and non-Christians alike a glimpse intorepparttar 106004 childlike vision " according torepparttar 106005 insights of Carl Olson.

More recently, Morrison hadrepparttar 106006 opportunity to duet “Crazy Love” along withrepparttar 106007 late Ray Charles, onrepparttar 106008 2004 Genius Loves Company album. Ray Charles was one of Morrison's influences during his years in Northern Ireland .
