More quotes by Van Morrison
I just wanted to have a look at my whole musical career, get right back to when I started and why I started doing it in the first place.
Van Morrison
I think that there are quite a few acts which have stayed with the basic feelings and that's good. And I see something of a swing back to that. For example there are quite a few people copying my early stuff now. Like it's become a reference point or something.
Van Morrison
The fact I wasn't getting off made me realize that I really had to take a hard look at it and at the type of music that I played, which ranges from ballads to country type stuff to rock and rhythm 'n' blues. It takes in a wider spectrum.
Van Morrison
You can't stop us on the road to freedom, you can't stop us cause our eyes can see.
Van Morrison
Any artist is an instrument-and that's exactly why you can't do it all the time. You can only do it when it's happening, when it's coming through. No matter how much you may want to do it, if it's not happening then it's simply not happening.
Van Morrison
What I really like to do is just do the twist!
Van Morrison
I like [George] Benson because I just like it. I like that kind of style. I don't like the broken up kind of style. I don't like where you play for 16 bars and then break it up into what somebody's version of what birds twittering sounds like, or what the sound of the city is, or what New York sounds like.
Van Morrison
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
The trip had become boring. It wasn't exciting anymore to totally be a singer/songwriter because it wasn't working for me.
Van Morrison
When the spirit moves me, I can do many wondrous things.
Van Morrison
I like to see people reaching back for the roots and for the reason why. Not intellectually, but just for the gut feeling of what it's all about.
Van Morrison
It's a marvelous night for a moondance!
Van Morrison
Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real.
Van Morrison
When heart is open, you will change just like a flower slowly opening.
Van Morrison
Meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion, and expect them to rise for the occasion.
Van Morrison
J.P. Donleavy - now he's one writer I am consistent with. He's written books that I can definitely connect with. He has amazing insights which other people missed out on. Even with his descriptions of Northern Ireland.
Van Morrison
These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. There is no past, there's only future, there's only here, there's only now.
Van Morrison
There aren't any labels - all jazz means is improvization and you can never play a tune the same way twice. So jazz spills over into everything.
Van Morrison
I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.
Van Morrison
Everybody's got their own particular vision which is a personal thing.
Van Morrison
