Van Morrison

Van Morrison
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes... And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that they play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush... One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night
Van Morrison

Van Morrison
I write songs. Then I record them. And later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple.
Van Morrison
In the gentle evening freeze, by the whispering shady trees I will find sanctuary in the Lord.
Van Morrison
Music to me is spontaneous, writing is spontaneous and it's all based on not trying to do it. From beginning to end, whether it's writing a song, or playing guitar, or a particular chord sequence, or blowing a horn, it's based on improvisation and spontaneity.
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
I'd been performing in bands since I was 12 which represented, at that point, about 16 years of playing music.
