It could be that the person they will come running to is getting off the train. There is a train approaching, coming round the bend. One person (at least) is kicking up the sand and walking with their hound dog. In that song Van Morrison writes, “say goodbye in the wind and the rain,” and later “get on the train.” In “Come Running,” he introduces weather elements of wind kicking up the dust, rain and morning sun.

“Come Running” draws on imagery from “Madame George”, one of the tracks from his second album, Astral Weeks. It included “Come Running”, which climbed to #38 on the Billboard Hot 100. In January 1970, Van Morrison released his third studio album titled Moondance. While some music critics applauded his efforts, the album sold poorly. In 1968, Morrison released a concept album titled Astral Weeks. His father’s record collection of American blues and country music artists led to Van Morrison learning the guitar when he was eleven. Van was an only child and grew up in Belfast. His mother, Violet, had been a singer and tap dancer in her youth. Morrison’s father, George, was an electrician. Examples of this are showcased in his hit singles “Brown Eyed Girl”, “Domino” and “Wild Night”. Morrison’s music mostly draws on the conventions of soul music and rhythm and blues. It was the title track from Morrison’s debut album. The song peaked at #10 in the USA, but climbed to #1 in Vancouver. His solo career began with the release of the hit single “Brown Eyed Girl” in 1967. They had hits with the garage band classics “ Gloria” and “Here Comes The Night”.

In 1964 Morrison formed the R&B garage band, Them, in Belfast, who played at The Maritime nightclub. Morrison started his professional career when he variously played guitar, harmonica, keyboards and saxophone for a number of Irish bands while he was still in his teens. He is known as “Van the Man” to his fans. In 2016 he was knighted for his musical achievements and his services to tourism and charitable causes in Northern Ireland. Since 1996 his formal title has been Sir “Van” Morrison, OBE. In 1996 he was given the Order of the British Empire for his service to music enriching the lives of people in the UK (and beyond).

He has received six Grammy Awards, the 1994 Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
