More quotes by Van Morrison
Joyous Sound evolved from a gospel influence. Actually it evolved out of sitting at a piano and just picking out a riff, a gospel type riff. It just seemed to come joyously-something about the song, about living in another place of joyous sounds. I'm not quite sure-that's one I'm trying to analyze. It just came out.
Van Morrison
Well I've got to get out of the rat-race now I'm tired of the ways of mice and men And the empires all turning into rust again. Out of everything nothing remains the same That's why I'm cloud hidden Cloud hidden Whereabouts unknown.
Van Morrison
I'd found that what I wrote and put out on records somehow was not fitting into how I perform on stage.
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
I'm very lucky, I'm happy with life because my experiences led me to do what I had to do. I don't have any regrets whatsoever.
Van Morrison
When the ghost comes round at midnight Well you both can have some fun He can drive you mad, he can make you sad He can keep you from the sun When they take him down, he'll be both safe and sound And the hand does fit the glove And no matter what they tell you, There's good and evil in everyone.
Van Morrison
It's all complete instinct and intuition, and that's extremely difficult to teach.
Van Morrison
[The music is about ] for the purpose of getting people to an excitement level. They feel something, they feel emotions. They're going to go home after that concert and remember it.Maybe they got something out of the experience rather than intellectualizing about what songs mean which is the whole head trip.
Van Morrison
There's always got to be a struggle. What else is there? That's what life is made of. I don't know anything else. If there is, tell me about it.
Van Morrison
I had my eyes closed in the dark, I sighed a million sighs, I told a million lies, to myself, to myself.
Van Morrison
I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife.
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
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.
Van Morrison
What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.
Van Morrison
And I shall watch the ferry boats, and they'll get high, on a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky. and i will never grow so old again, and i will walk and talk, in gardens all wet with rain.
Van Morrison
The wild night is calling.
Van Morrison
Have I told you lately that I love you, have I told you lately there's no one above you. Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, ease my troubles, that's what you do.
Van Morrison
[Rock 'n' roll] is still a primitive form and there's no way you can get away from that. It's one of the primitive art forms and that's why it's good and that's why it's lasted...you know, it hasn't become sophisticated and it's not in the opera house.
Van Morrison
What was happening with me, with the album [A Period of Transition], with the people who took the pictures, the record company, everything, getting a new manager [Harvey Goldsmith]-it was all saying a period of transition to me so that was the title choice. It says what it is and obviously nobody is going to analyze that. It's exactly what it is.
Van Morrison
