More quotes by Van Morrison
You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs.
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
Common one, my illuminated one, oh my high in the art of suffering. Take a walk with me.
Van Morrison
See the man on the TV with a phony smile. Bring you up, bring you down, he can turn your head around.
Van Morrison
I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.
Van Morrison
The theory is that you don't play a song the same way twice because it's jazz. That's where I'm coming from.
Van Morrison
Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
Van Morrison
Let go into the mystery. Let yourself go. And when you open up your heart, you get everything you need. Baby there's a way and a mystic road. You've got to have some faith to carry on, you've got to open up your heart to the Son.
Van Morrison
If you get into introspective blues or something where you're stretching out a bit, large audiences don't respond to this, so you have to give them what they want, basically.
Van Morrison
Even today, skiffle is a defining part of my music. If I get the opportunity to just have a jam, skiffle is what I love to play.
Van Morrison
I think intellectualization is what's killing most people.
Van Morrison
I learnt from Armstrong on the early recordings that you never sang a song the same way twice.
Van Morrison
I'd been performing in bands since I was 12 which represented, at that point, about 16 years of playing music.
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
There's quite a few people getting into that - new acts coming along that are using a lot of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s. They're completely ignoring the 70s which is kind of a turn on because to me nothing has really gone down in the 70s.
Van Morrison
I haven't really heard much that's impressed me the way it was when I first heard Ray Charles or somebody like that. That was really an impression.
Van Morrison
At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.
Van Morrison
Leave your thoughtlessness behind you then you may begin to understand. Clear the emptiness around you with the waving of your hand.
Van Morrison
I don't like to condemn people because what that means is that you're only condemning yourself about a part of you that you can't stand.
Van Morrison
My responsibility is to fulfil what that natural thing is. The thing that I dislike about pop rock Top 40 music is that it's not natural.
Van Morrison
