Van Morrison
What I really like to do is just do the twist!
Van Morrison
[The music is about ] for the purpose of getting people to an excitement level. They feel something, they feel emotions.

Van Morrison

Van Morrison
I never bought the commercial thing, at any stage of the game.
Van Morrison
The music I really like to get off on is the old rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll stuff... that's what I really dig. And I also dig to sing ballads as well. And I also dig writing my own songs. I was just trying to find a way of integrating the whole thing, taking a look at the total picture.
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
When you hear the music ringin' in your soul And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun...
Van Morrison
