Every new year reminds me how I love being modern.

But I still love my parents and I still love the old world.

Three Outlandish Tracks from Van Morrison’s 1968 “Revenge Album”: “Ring Worm,” “Want a Danish?” & “The Big Royalty Check”

In 1968, Van Morrison cut tracks for what's been called his 'revenge' or 'contractual obligation album.' The backstory, provided by Top Tenz, goes like this: After a pretty unhappy couple of years with his label Bang Records in the mid-60s, Van Morrison wanted out.

It's funny that the headline mentions "three outlandish tracks" when pretty much every track on that album is outlandish. I also disagree with the critic that said this is "the least commercial music ever recorded by a major rock artist, and the nastiest spit in the eye of commercial expectations and contractual obligations." That contractual obligation award has to go to Lou Reed for Metal Machine Music. It's a double album, and I'll Paypal you ten bucks if you can even sit through two minutes of it.

El Shaddai - Amy Grant

El shaddai, el shaddai,
El-elyon na adonai,
Age to age You're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, el shaddai,
Erkamka na adonai,
We will praise and lift You high,
El shaddai.

Through Your love and through the ram,
You saved the son of Abraham;
Through the power of Your hand,
Turned the sea into dry land.
To the outcast on her knees,
You were the God who really sees,
And by Your might,
You set Your children free.

El shaddai, el shaddai,
El-elyon na adonai,
Age to age You're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, el shaddai,
Erkamka na adonai,
We will praise and lift You high,
El shaddai.

Through the years You've made it clear,
That the time of Christ was near,
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.
Though Your word contained the plan,
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of Your son.

El shaddai, el shaddai,
El-elyon na adonai,
Age to age You're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El shaddai, el shaddai,
Erkamka na adonai,
I will praise You 'till I die,
El shaddai.
