More quotes by Van Morrison
Jazz was always cool. That was what I liked about jazz - it was always cool. Now I see the cats that were basically cool getting kind of uncool. So that ruins what I feel about jazz.
Van Morrison
There's always got to be a struggle. What else is there? That's what life is made of. I don't know anything else. If there is, tell me about it.
Van Morrison
I just wanted to have a look at my whole musical career, get right back to when I started and why I started doing it in the first place.
Van Morrison
I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
Van Morrison
The whole trip that happened in the late 60s and 70s was kind of a throwback to a lot of folk styles. I got into it as well 'cause I started with the folk styles.
Van Morrison
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen, where silence will touch you, and heartbreak will mend.
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 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.
Van Morrison
You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.
Van Morrison
I was just getting tired of the image bullshit...that man of mystery trip and what have you. What's that all about?
Van Morrison
It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down.
Van Morrison
Have I told you lately that I love you, have I told you lately there's no one above you. Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, ease my troubles, that's what you do.
Van Morrison
At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.
Van Morrison
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
Somebody's going to hear a song that will key in a nerve or something in their experience that represents their own vision. And the next person is going to see it completely different. So even what it means to me is probably irrelevant. It's totally irrelevant. What matters is what it means to each person listening to it.
Van Morrison
Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real.
Van Morrison
The thing about albums is just coming up with new material. I just got tired of that syndrome of putting out an album and then some reviewer claims that this song or that song has something to do with x y or z.
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
Way over on the railroad, Tomorrow all the tipping trucks will unload together, Every scrapbook stuck with glue, And I'll stand beside you, Beside you, child.
Van Morrison
I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.
