''Inarticulate Speech of the Heart'' is the fourteenth studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music). Morrison said he arrived at the title from a Shavian saying: "that idea of communicating with as little articulation as possible, at the same time being emotionally articulate". As his last album for Warner Bros. Records, he decided to do an album of mostly instrumentals. As he explained in 1984, "Sometimes when I'm playing something, I'm just sort of humming along with it, and that's got a different vibration than an actual song. So the instrumentals just come from trying to get that form of expression, which is not the same as writing a song."〔Heylin, Can You Feel the Silence?, p. 376-377〕 Although not expanded upon, of note is that a special thanks is given to L. Ron Hubbard in the liner notes. The reissued and remastered version of the album contains alternative takes of "Cry for Home" and "Inarticulate Speech of the Heart No. 2".〔(Van Morrison Official Website )〕 The track "Celtic Swing" made an appearance over the final scenes of Peter Jackson's ''The Lovely Bones''. ==Recording== The recording sessions took place in California, Dublin, Ireland and a series of marathon sessions at The Town House in London. Morrison played piano, guitar and saxophone on these sessions.〔Heylin, Can You Feel the Silence. p.377〕 Two Irish musicians played on the album (Arty McGlynn and Davy Spillane) and overall the music had a strong Celtic colouring. Four of the songs were instrumentals.〔Hinton, Celtic Crossroads, p. 239〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inarticulate Speech of the Heart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
