I never bought the commercial thing, at any stage of the game.

Going down the old mine with a transistor radio.

Jazz comes from a tradition where it swings. Swing was the main ingredient of jazz. And once it loses the swing...well, that's it.
Van Morrison
Image
I wrote a couple of songs that had gypsy references in them. The only reason it happened was because that's what was coming through and I liked the idea at that period of time. But that doesn't mean that it's a myth or that I'm a gypsy. It's gotten totally out of context.
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

[Jazz musicians] couldn't cut rock. I had to be more limited and specific about what I was doing.
Van Morrison

Ambition will take you And ride you too far and Conservatism bring you to boredom once more Sit down by the river And watch the stream flow Recall all the dreams That you once used to know The things you've forgotten That took you away To pastures not greener but meaner.
Van Morrison

If you never hear from me that just means I would rather not.
Van Morrison
Image
I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
Van Morrison
Image
When the spirit moves me, I can do many wondrous things.

Making love in the green grass behind the stadium with you my brown eyed girl.
Van Morrison

All the girls walk by dressed up for each other, and the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street.
Van Morrison
Image
When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.
Van Morrison
Image
The idea [of A Period of Transition album] was to get a break from everything for a while because I've been doing it for so long. I started doing it when I was 12.
Van Morrison
Image
If you get into introspective blues or something where you're stretching out a bit, large audiences don't respond to this, so you have to give them what they want, basically.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
Do you remember the time darlin' when everything made more sense in the world? Oh I remember, I remember... when life made more sense... Take me back, take me back, take me way back... to when life made more sense.
Van Morrison
