Rave On, John Donne – Inarticulate Speech of the Heart – September Night They are all from the Inarticulate Speech of the Heart Album. Because of the simplicity these songs I have grouped them into "one." Rave On, John Donne (Van Morrison) The music to this is a constantly repeated 2 bar sequence Very Slow 4 | Gmaj9 (=Bm7/ G Bass) / / / |Am7 / D11 (=Am7/D Bass) / | The organ adds a constantly repeated run on each beat playing deg deg deg deg etc An electric piano plays some licks using the notes of the scale of G major (Spoken) Rave on, John Donne, rave on thy holy fool Down through the weeks of ages In the moss pond dark dank pools Rave on Donne through the industrial revolution Empiricism, the atomic and nuclear age Rave on Donne through time and space down through the corridors Rave on words on printed page Rave on, you left us infinity on well pressed pages for to fade Drive on with wild abandon Up temple, frenzied heels Rave on, Walt Whitman, knows Donne in wet grass Rave on, fill the senses On nature's bright green shady path Rave on Omar Khayyam, rave on Cardinal Debran' Oh, what sweet wine we drinketh The celebration will be held We will partake the wine and break the holy bread Rave on letter men from out of Ireland Rave on, Mr Yeats Rave on Donne through thy holy Rosy Cross Rave on Donne through theosophy and the golden dawn Rave on through the writing of a vision Rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on, rave on (Sang)

In the simplest terms it starts with the first sequence which is Ebmaj9 (= Gm7 / Eb Bass) for a couple of Bars then Dbmaj9 (= Fm7 / Db Bass) for 2 Bars and back to Ebmaj9 to repeat There is a second sequence after a minute or so which is: Fm9 (=Abmaj7 / F Bass) for a few bars over which the piano hits arpeggios and block Fm and Van makes some soulful Ahh noises that could be misconstrued as constipation, before back to Ebmaj9. This is repeated a few times and it then goes back to the 1st sequence
