At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.
Van Morrison

It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.
Van Morrison
Image
Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.
Van Morrison
Image
I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.
Van Morrison
Image
You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.
Van Morrison
Image
What I don't like is taking it to extremes and making all these intellectualizations about what basically is simple music. It's simple stream-of-consciousness stuff in my songs. What I'm trying to get across is misinterpreted.
Van Morrison
Image
It will make you feel good, and it will make you feel whole, when the spirit moves you and it fills you through and through.
Van Morrison

[Rock 'n' roll] music started out with some cat banging a log with a couple of pieces of stick. He sent a message across a river and although the cat on the other side receiving the message didn't know the exact words, he did understand basically something about what was being communicated.

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
Image
Don't lose the wonder in your eyes It's right there when you smile... If we go back, for a while Let me go back, for a while To that magic time
Van Morrison
Image
The music I really like to get off on is the old rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll stuff... that's what I really dig. And I also dig to sing ballads as well. And I also dig writing my own songs. I was just trying to find a way of integrating the whole thing, taking a look at the total picture.
Van Morrison
Image
Common one, my illuminated one, oh my high in the art of suffering. Take a walk with me.
Van Morrison
Image
There's a million things that come through when you put songs together and it's kind of difficult to pinpoint exactly what triggers it on every occasion. It's just like somebody writing a screenplay or something like that.
Van Morrison
Image
Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real.
Van Morrison

The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport.
Van Morrison
Image
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.
Van Morrison

There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles.
Van Morrison
Image
Do you remember the time darlin' when everything made more sense in the world? Oh I remember, I remember... when life made more sense... Take me back, take me back, take me way back... to when life made more sense.

I never bought the commercial thing, at any stage of the game.
