More quotes by Van Morrison
There's novel reading, and then there's the other kind of reading. Take somebody like Carl Jung, the psychiatrist - now there's somebody worth getting into. With novels, I'm kind of fly by night. It isn't something I can be really consistent with.
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
Sometimes you do know where the ideas are coming from and sometimes you don't. You might get a song coming through that you just don't know about.
Van Morrison
I deliberately try not to cater for the commercial market, so I can't see myself in competition, you know, with second or third generation rock stars.
Van Morrison
Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.
Van Morrison
Don't want to discuss it, I think it's time for a change You may get disgusted, some think that I'm strange In that case I'll go underground, get some heavy rest Never have to worry, about what is worst and what is best.
Van Morrison
Enlightenment, don't know what it is. It's up to you, the way you think.
Van Morrison
If you're with a good band and everybody's from the old school, it's different. When you're in your element, you're in your element and things just come. You don't have to drag them out or force them out. They just happen.
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
I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.
Van Morrison
I find it extremely difficult talking about my songs because there's so many different things that can make a song come together.
Van Morrison
The job of the jazz people is to take it as far as it will go and that's what they're doing. But in the process of taking it out there, there has to be some times when they're not getting it right. It all depends on what you dig. I personally don't think the fusion of jazz with the heaviness of rock is working.
Van Morrison
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
If you never hear from me that just means I would rather not.
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
Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.
Van Morrison
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
I'll tell you what does impress me: the fact that a lot of the cats who were our idols are still out there doing it. That impresses me very much.
Van Morrison
You've got to separate the singer and the songs.
Van Morrison
What I really like to do is just do the twist!
