| - "Ivory Tower" is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and included on his 1986 album, No Guru, No Method, No Teacher. The song was also released as a single with the B-side "A New Kind of Man", from his previous album A Sense of Wonder. It charted at No. 21 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks in 1986. Clinton Heylin writes this about the song "A chorus about how tough 'It really must be/ To be me, to see like me, to feel like me' threatens the spirituality self-effacing mood he had previously maintained." Biographer John Collis takes the same viewpoint by saying "Ivory Tower, totally breaks the mold – it's an r'n'b shaker just like those produced by the Van Morrison of old, though now he suffers from self pity: "Don't you know the price I have to pay/Just to do everything I have to do..." Billboard said it is an "upbeat r&b boogie." Cash Box said it is an "outstanding and blustery return to form for the brilliant and visionary Morrison." (en)
- «Ivory Tower» es una canción del músico norirlandés Van Morrison publicada en el álbum de 1986 No Guru, No Method, No Teacher además de como sencillo el mismo año, con el tema "A New Kind of Man" como cara B. Clinton Heylin escribió sobre la canción: "Un coro sobre qué duro "debe ser igual que yo, ver como yo, sentir como yo" amenaza el estado espiritual que había mantenido Van Morrison hasta el momento". Por su parte, el biógrafo John Collis adopta la misma postura, diciendo: ""Ivory Tower" rompe el molde: es una canción R&B como aquellas producidas por el viejo Van Morrison, salvo que ahora sufre de lástima: "Don't you know the price I have to pay/Just to do everything I have to do" (lo cual puede traducirse al español como: "No sabes el precio que tengo que pagar / para hacer simplemente lo que tengo que hacer")".
