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.

More quotes by Van Morrison
I've always listened to jazz or folk or blues. I was always listening to the prophets. I don't really go for...I don't know how to say anything about the singles scene without slamming people.
Van Morrison
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
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.
Van Morrison
When you start to analyze [rock 'n' roll], it's only because you don't understand it. You're just not connecting with it once you have to start analyzing it.
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
My bag is approaching something and taking it to another place. Like words-you take a word and by the time you've finished with it, you milk it and you go through the emotion of what it is, what it means there and then.
Van Morrison
I deliberately try not to cater for the commercial market, so I can't see myself in competition, you know, with second or third generation rock stars.
Van Morrison
You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.
Van Morrison
I just need somewhere to dump all my negativity.
Van Morrison
I don't have any regrets about the album [Veedon Fleece]. But it's the same old story - an album is basically 35 or 40 minutes of what you do. It's 'part' of what you do.
Van Morrison
Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real.
Van Morrison
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
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen, where silence will touch you, and heartbreak will mend.
Van Morrison
These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. There is no past, there's only future, there's only here, there's only now.
Van Morrison
Like I said, basically I'm a rocker. That's about it. Things that I've done away from that-branches that I've gotten into off of that - are just other streams, other things that I can do.
Van Morrison
It's a marvelous night for a moondance!
Van Morrison
Heavy Connection is just basically about psychic stuff...it's kind of about connections that you're not normally making. It's like a fate number where you're making psychic connections that you're not really aware of but they're there.
Van Morrison
In deep confusion, in great despair, when I reach out for him, he is there. When I am lonely as I can be, then I know God shines his light on me.
Van Morrison
