Van Morrison - All In The Game

All in the game tells the story of stressful moments in a relationship. Confidence wil help her to survive it. "It's all in the game" has a pretty old history. The music - initially named Melody in A major - was composed in 1911 by Charles G. Dawes, who later became vice-president of the United States. Not until 1951 lyrics were written. Finally Van Morrison reworked it and created one of his masterpieces. On his album Into the Music from 1979 you can find these three tracks: And the healing has begun/ It's all in the game/ You know what the're writing about. They all bring this magnificent atmosphere. Special credits to Toni Marcus on violin, viola, stroviola, mandolin. My trilogy is now complete. You can find them as trio in this playlist:    • Healing Game Writing   All images by Luc Boonen
