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.

Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty, come along with me and take it all in. Come here my love.

Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied

[You Got To Make It Through The World] it's kind of a survival song. Survival is what's happening and it's basically a song about that.

There's novel reading, and then there's the other kind of reading. Take somebody like Carl Jung, the psychiatrist - now there's somebody worth getting into. With novels, I'm kind of fly by night. It isn't something I can be really consistent with.

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.

The blues - there's no black and white - it's the truth.

I also like to do physical things. I like swimming a lot. I like traveling. Not touring traveling but just plain traveling. I also read a lot. Reading takes up most of my time.

We might think that we're really intellectual and we're going to check out the library to research the meaning every time somebody puts out a new record. It's still primitive stuff. It's the same now as it was at the beginning. It's no different now. Rock 'n' roll is spirit music-it's just coming through people.

The job of the jazz people is to take it as far as it will go and that's what they're doing. But in the process of taking it out there, there has to be some times when they're not getting it right. It all depends on what you dig. I personally don't think the fusion of jazz with the heaviness of rock is working.

All the girls walk by dressed up for each other, and the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street.

If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.

What I really like to do is just do the twist!

I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.

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.

[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.

Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen, where silence will touch you, and heartbreak will mend.

I had my eyes closed in the dark, I sighed a million sighs, I told a million lies, to myself, to myself.

Laying underneath the stars Can be so much fun Especially when you're feeling good When you're with the one you love.

[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.

Let go into the mystery Let yourself go You've got to open up your heart That's all I know Trust what I say and do what you're told Baby, and all your dirt will turn Into gold.
