#"These Are the Days" – 5:08 "These Are the Days" is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and released on his 1989 album "Avalon Sunset". It was released as the B-side of the single with "Orangefield" as the A-side. The opening verse of the song is a recurring factor in Morrison's music and lyrics, the belief that the predominant sense of enjoyment and appreciation of life is to be found in the present moment:
:"These are the days of the endless summer:"These are the days, the time is now:"There is no past, there's only future:"There's only here, there's only now
Biographer John Collis writes that this final song pulls together all the concerns of the album: [Collis, Inarticulate Speech of the Heart, p.174]
In one moment ('there is no past...there's only now') Morrison combines earthly love with that inspired by a sun-warmed landscape, the yearning for simplicity with the love of 'the (one) Magician who turned water into wine.
