5) Vanlose Stairway - One of Van Morrison's most beautiful songs, it was supposedly written about the stairway to his girlfriends apartment in Vanlose, Coppenhagen. In a more broad sense though it’s really about what connects us to the divine. Send me your bible he says, send me your gita (the Hindu holy book the Bhagavad Gita), they are just stairways like this one. As spellbindingly potent as millenniums old religions, as transcendent as the blues (“send me your pillow” Van says, a quotation of a song John Lee Hooker sang), our own stairways upwards are many and varied. Climbing upwards is a common human business, from the pond we crawled out of, to the songs we make out of pain, to the path to her room in Vanlose, we have crossed great distances in very few feet.
