About this album
A Sense Of Wonder presents Van Morrison in a reflective, searching mood, drawing together folk rock, soft rock and jazz-rock textures into one of his most contemplative 1980s albums. Released in 1984, it followed the more expansive period of his early-80s work and leaned into devotional, literary themes, with Morrison’s voice and phrasing carrying the material rather than elaborate production. Songs such as “Tore Down a La Rimbaud” and the title track show his gift for blending spiritual inquiry, poetic reference and musical understatement. The album is widely regarded as a subtle, rewarding entry in a long and varied catalogue.
