More quotes by Van Morrison
What excited me when I first came into it was the performing aspect and doing blues-oriented material, rock/blues oriented stuff, basic stuff, basic what they call rock 'n' roll.
Van Morrison
Let go into the mystery. Let yourself go. And when you open up your heart, you get everything you need. Baby there's a way and a mystic road. You've got to have some faith to carry on, you've got to open up your heart to the Son.
Van Morrison
You can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.
Van Morrison
If the spirit comes through in a Madame George type of song, that's what the spirit says. You have very little to do with it. You're like an instrument for what's coming through.
Van Morrison
If you're putting somebody down, you're doing it because you're just seeing a part of yourself that you don't like. That's all that is.
Van Morrison
Into the Music was about the first album where I felt, 'I'm starting here'...the Wavelength thing, I didn't really feel that was me.
Van Morrison
The summer breeze was blowing on your face Within your violet you treasure your summery words And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden
Van Morrison
I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.
Van Morrison
I didn't know what some of the stuff on Astral Weeks was about until years later.
Van Morrison
Oh won't you stay Stay a while with your own ones Don't ever stray Stray so far from your own ones 'Cause the world is so cold Don't care nothing for your soul That you share with your own ones.
Van Morrison
Let your soul and spirit fly.
Van Morrison
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.
Van Morrison
I think I opened up an area with Astral Weeks that hit a lot of peoples' nerves. But you can't really say that they're my favorite songs.
Van Morrison
I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.
Van Morrison
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
I just like any music to swing, no matter what it is.
Van Morrison
When you perform live, it's a different trip - it's different energy. I just felt a conflict between both of the trips. I was trying to evaluate what it meant for me to be a singer/songwriter and what that whole thing all meant.
Van Morrison
I forgot that love existed, troubled in my mind. Heartache after heartache, worried all the time. I forgot that love existed Then I saw the light Everyone around me make everything alright.
Van Morrison
There's always stress involved in any genre or art form, there's always going to be a struggle. If there's no struggle, you wouldn't do anything. What are you going do? Retire?
Van Morrison
I haven't really heard much that's impressed me the way it was when I first heard Ray Charles or somebody like that. That was really an impression.
Van Morrison
