A lot of things come together to make up a song. It's just images.
Van Morrison
Image
The media is going to stick a label on records. And the public is going to pick it up from that. And that's what I was getting sick of-the whole analyzation thing.
Van Morrison
Image
Going down the old mine with a transistor radio.
Van Morrison
Image
I can see more naturalness in basic blues, basic R & B, basic rock 'n' roll.
Van Morrison
Image
We're [with Robbie Robertson ] jazz musicians. The context may be rock 'n' roll but it's still jazz. It's jazz and that means improvization...you play a tune the way it feels and you play it differently every time. It can never be the same.
Van Morrison
Image
Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.
Van Morrison
Image
In the gentle evening freeze, by the whispering shady trees I will find sanctuary in the Lord.
Van Morrison
Image
I just can't stand it [jazz/rock]. It just doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't hit me...it doesn't get me...it just doesn't grab me.
Van Morrison
Image
Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
You can call it nostalgia, I don't mind Standing on that windswept hillside Listening to the church bells chime Listen to the church bells chime In that magic time.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
Laying underneath the stars Can be so much fun Especially when you're feeling good When you're with the one you love.
Van Morrison
Image
If you're putting somebody down, you're doing it because you're just seeing a part of yourself that you don't like. That's all that is.
Van Morrison
Image
You've got to separate the singer and the songs.
Van Morrison
Image
Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied
Van Morrison
Image
It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down.
Van Morrison
Image
When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love.
Van Morrison
Image
I'm a dweller of the threshold and I'm waiting at the door, and I'm standing in the darkness, I don't want to wait no more.
Van Morrison
Image
I don't like to wonder about it-I just like to do it. That's what I mean about the image stuff and all that. There's far too much emphasis being placed on that kind of stuff... the whole emphasis on what does it mean? Everybody has their own particular vision.
