You've got to separate the singer and the songs.
Van Morrison
Image
You know what they're writing about Baby you know what they're writing about It's a thing called love down through the ages Makes you wanna cry sometimes Makes you feel like you wanna lay down and die sometimes Makes you high sometimes But when you really get in it lifts you right up.
Van Morrison
Image
I just need somewhere to dump all my negativity.
Van Morrison
Image
Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty, come along with me and take it all in. Come here my love.
Van Morrison
Image
I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.
Van Morrison
Image
The media is going to stick a label on records. And the public is going to pick it up from that. And that's what I was getting sick of-the whole analyzation thing.
Van Morrison
Image
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen, where silence will touch you, and heartbreak will mend.

I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.
Van Morrison

If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison

There's a lot of sub-conscious stuff you may write but you don't then suddenly sit down and take out your analytical books and say: I'm determined to find out where this came from. You'd probably be wrong anyway.
Van Morrison
Image
You can call it nostalgia, I don't mind Standing on that windswept hillside Listening to the church bells chime Listen to the church bells chime In that magic time.
Van Morrison
Image
My thinking musically has always been more advanced - it is difficult to get it down onto paper sometimes, even now.
Van Morrison
Image
When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now.
Van Morrison
Image
Common one, my illuminated one, oh my high in the art of suffering. Take a walk with me.
Van Morrison
Image
I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.
Van Morrison
Image
When I started out in this business, I was a performer before I was a songwriter, I was a performer before I was recording. Performing is the roots. That's where it all came from. You didn't start out doing it because you wanted to make an album.

Smell the sea and feel the sky.
Van Morrison
Image
Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied
Van Morrison
Image
I just wanted to stop and try to get some perspective. [ A Period of Transition] it was just a matter of wanting to review the whole thing...to try and get some relationship to what I was doing.

We might think that we're really intellectual and we're going to check out the library to research the meaning every time somebody puts out a new record. It's still primitive stuff. It's the same now as it was at the beginning. It's no different now. Rock 'n' roll is spirit music-it's just coming through people.
