More quotes by Van Morrison
And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And magnificently we will fold into the mystic
Van Morrison
When it's not always raining there'll be days like this. When there's no one complaining there'll be days like this. When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch. Well my mama told me there'll be days like this.
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 realized that what I was looking for was doing collaborations with other people - people who can play a ballad, rock, jazz. I was looking for more co-op type things than what I had been doing, which had been completely my own trip.
Van Morrison
[Jean-Paul] Sartre was a throwback to the existential period. I'm not really so much into that these days. I went through a period of going over things and looking at them again to see what they were. But I'm into psychiatry type things. I'm into philosophy. I'm into that sort of thing.
Van Morrison
Basically I got an insight into what it really was through Alcoholics Anonymous. One day the switchboard lit up and I saw where it was all going. I saw what alcohol could do to people and I saw that it wasn't a good thing anymore. Plus I wasn't a teenager anymore myself.
Van Morrison
My responsibility is to fulfil what that natural thing is. The thing that I dislike about pop rock Top 40 music is that it's not natural.
Van Morrison
In the gentle evening freeze, by the whispering shady trees I will find sanctuary in the Lord.
Van Morrison
You've got to separate the singer and the songs.
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
Shivers up and down my spine It's a feeling so divine Let me go back for a while Got to go back for a while To that magic time.
Van Morrison
Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.
Van Morrison
I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.
Van Morrison
I just like any music to swing, no matter what it is.
Van Morrison
Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.
Van Morrison
You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.
Van Morrison
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison
My bag is approaching something and taking it to another place. Like words-you take a word and by the time you've finished with it, you milk it and you go through the emotion of what it is, what it means there and then.
Van Morrison
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea They thought great thoughts about liberty Poets wrote down words that did fit Writers wrote books Thinkers thought about it.
Van Morrison
A lot of things come together to make up a song. It's just images.
Van Morrison
