Quote

The summer breeze was blowing on your face Within your violet you treasure your summery words And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden

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

Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.
Van Morrison

Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real.

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

A lot of things come together to make up a song. It's just images.

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...

I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.

Rock is gut level and it just gets to people. I think there's far too much emphasis on intellectualization, especially in rock 'n' roll which is a primitive form.
Van Morrison
Image

There's a lot of sub-conscious stuff you may write but you don't then suddenly sit down and take out your analytical books and say: I'm determined to find out where this came from. You'd probably be wrong anyway.

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.
Van Morrison

Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea They thought great thoughts about liberty Poets wrote down words that did fit Writers wrote books Thinkers thought about it.
Van Morrison

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.
Van Morrison

I like [George] Benson because I just like it. I like that kind of style. I don't like the broken up kind of style. I don't like where you play for 16 bars and then break it up into what somebody's version of what birds twittering sounds like, or what the sound of the city is, or what New York sounds like.

I think that there are quite a few acts which have stayed with the basic feelings and that's good. And I see something of a swing back to that. For example there are quite a few people copying my early stuff now. Like it's become a reference point or something.

The trip had become boring. It wasn't exciting anymore to totally be a singer/songwriter because it wasn't working for me.

In the gentle evening freeze, by the whispering shady trees I will find sanctuary in the Lord.

Meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion, and expect them to rise for the occasion.

I have to accept the fact that I was putting out records that reviewers were going to get an image from.
