"His music goes beyond borders and remains relevant to people from all around the world. Knowing whether or not he’s Irish is not crucial to appreciating the beauty of his songs. I’ve covered ‘Saint Dominic’s Preview’, which deals with what was happening in Belfast during the Troubles. It’s from the perspective of someone from the area, but who now has the objectivity of an outsider looking in. Its approach feels very human and real.

"I discovered that Saint Dominic’s Preview was a church in San Francisco that held a mass for peace in Belfast in 1972, and that Van Morrison was astonished by how widespread international concern was. In this remarkable song, he’s able to weave stream-of-consciousness imagery; his own experiences growing up in Northern Ireland; his life as a touring musician; and stories from newspapers at the time."
