Free Music Notes for Sense of Wonder (Exp)Free Music Review: I will call my love philosophy....
This is another masterpiece from Van, one of his most beautiful, poetic albums. The opener, Torn Down a la Rimbaud, not only has a great title (how many rock musicians talk about Rimbaud), but it's a great opener and a precursor of things to come. The instrumental, Evening Meditation, lives up to its title, being one of the best instrumentals that Van ever recoded. The songs The Master's Eyes and the cover of Ray Charles's What Would I Do are impossibly gorgeous. My 2 favorite tracks here are the title track and the spoken-word adaptation called Let the Slave. Let the Slave is one of Van's best spoken word songs. He adapts the prose of William Blake beautifully, and this song includes one of Blake's most memorable lines "all that lives is holy". Van tries (and comes close) to top Blake himself with the title track, with some great lyrics with lines like "Didn't I come to bring you a sense of wonder in the flame?" and "you may call my love Sophia but I call my love philosophy". There are no virulent lyrics about the music business here. This is the deep, mystical Van, and it's one of the best examples of that kind of music that Van does so well.
