Van Morrison’s Lit Up Inside is a beautifully curated collection of his most memorable and poetic lyrics, spanning his five-decade career. This signed limited edition is a rare and highly collectible volume, offering a unique insight into the mind of one of Ireland’s most celebrated and enigmatic musical figures. Personally signed by Van Morrison, the book was published in a limited run, making it a treasured item for fans and collectors of Irish music and literature.

The lyrics in Lit Up Inside reveal Morrison’s deep connections to place, memory, spirituality, and the human experience. From classics like “Brown Eyed Girl” to deeper cuts like “Madame George” and “In the Garden,” each piece reads like lyrical poetry, showcasing Morrison’s literary artistry beyond the stage and recording studio.

Bound in fine cloth with gilt titles and presented in a slipcase, the signed limited edition reflects the same depth and elegance as Morrison’s words. At De Búrca Rare Books, we value works that bridge music and literature, and Lit Up Inside is a standout example. This edition is ideal for collectors of signed music memorabilia, modern Irish poetry, and limited edition publications.
