Really Don't Know
Van Morrison · Other Songs - Van Morrison
Just what's wrong
Feel like I don't belong
And I just can't get together
Today, anyway
Keep on rainin', more and more
Everyday
Yeah, in a wider sense
Yeah, in a wider sense
Keep on rainin'
Keep on rainin'
Everyday
Look to the sky, but the sky may fall
See thru' my eye, but my eye don't see at all
Keep on rainin'
Look to the sky, but the sky may fall
See thru' my eye, but my eye don't see at all
Keep on rainin', more and more
Everyday
Yeah, in a wider sense
Yeah, in a wider sense
Yeah, in the system
Every, every, every, every day
Really Don't Know
Van Morrison's "Really Don't Know" stands as a quintessential example of his mid-career soul and R&B fusion, characterized by its lush harmonies and intricate guitar work. Released during a period where Morrison was deeply exploring the intersection of jazz, blues, and gospel, the track showcases his signature ability to blend complex musical structures with deeply personal lyrical themes. The song reflects the artist's ongoing commitment to high-quality studio production and his mastery of vocal phrasing, which became a defining trait of his discography from the 1970s through the 1980s. As a standalone recording, it captures the warmth and emotional depth that have made Morrison a pivotal figure in the evolution of soul music, influencing countless artists who followed in his wake.
