Description

I want to sing this song for you
I want to lift your spirits high
And in my soul I want to feel
The beauty of the days gone by.

Following Lit Up Inside, Keep 'Er Lit is the second instalment of Van Morrison's collected lyrics containing one hundred and twenty songs from across his storied career, revealing why he is celebrated as one of the most innovative and enduring songwriters of our time.

'These trance-like, free-forming lyrics are amazing...Van Morrison's glorious art, for which these lyrics are the score, comes close to perfection.' - Irish Times [on Lit Up Inside]

Reviews

"[Keep 'Er Lit] features over 120 songs from Van The Man's storied career, from the seminal Astral Weeks, through recent albums such as Roll With The Punches and The Prophet Speaks. To see these songs presented as prose and poetry once serves to prove yet again that Van Morrison is one of the greatest singer-songwriters ever. With an introduction by Hughes and a forward from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, this is an absolute must have for an Van Morrison fan. -- Interrobang
