“Full Force Gale” is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was included on his 1979 album Into The Music.

When biographer Steve Turner asked Morrison about the theme of rebirth that occurs quite often in his songs, Morrison answered, “I wrote a song called ‘Full Force Gale’ in which I said ‘No matter where I roam/I will find my way back home/I will always return to the Lord’. That answers it for me. No matter what I might say at the present, that’s my feeling about that”.
