Rough God Goes Riding
"Rough God Goes Riding" is the opening song on the album, ''The Healing Game'' by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. The song reached #168 on the UK charts. One of the B-sides of the single, the alternative version of "The Healing Game", appears on all three editions of Morrison's 2007 compilation album ''Still on Top - The Greatest Hits''. The other B-side "At the End of the Day" was released as a bonus track on the 2008 reissue of ''The Healing Game''.
==Song analysis==
According to biographer Clinton Heylin this song: "signalled a return to the religious and spiritual preoccupations that had driven Morrison's work throughout the eighties, the image of the Rough God being derived from Robin Williamson's 'Mr. Thomas' — recorded by Morrison for ''Inarticulate'' — in which 'the rough God goes riding with his shears', a reference to the avenging Messiah who shall return to wreak final judgement on Man."〔Heylin, Can You Feel the Silence?, p.473〕
Greil Marcus wrote that "The deep burr of Morrison's voice buries the words, which cease to matter; you might not hear them until the tenth time you play the album, or long after that. 'It's when that rough god goes riding,' he sings, drawing the words both from Yeats and down in his chest, and you might never know it's the Angel of Death that has you in its embrace."〔Marcus, When That Rough God Goes Riding, p. 111〕
