"These Dreams of You" is a song written and recorded by the Northern
Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison for his 1970 album Moondance.
According to Morrison, the inspiration of "These Dreams of You" was
"...a dream I had about Ray Charles being shot down. That started
off the whole lyric. The song is basically about dreams."
Moondance is the third studio album by Northern Irish singer-songwriter
Van Morrison. It was released on 27 January 1970 by Warner Bros. Records.
The album found Morrison abandoning the abstract folk jazz compositions
of his previous album Astral Weeks in favour of more formally composed
songs, which he wrote and produced entirely himself. Its lively rhythm
and blues/rock music was the style he would become most known for in
his career. Moondance was an immediate critical and commercial success
and peaked at #29 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
