I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.
Van Morrison
Image
I'm still basically the same as I always was. I still listen to the same people. That's where I'm coming from.
Van Morrison

I just need somewhere to dump all my negativity.

When it's not always raining there'll be days like this. When there's no one complaining there'll be days like this. When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch. Well my mama told me there'll be days like this.

Won't You guide me through the dark night of the soul That I may better understand Your way... Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds That I may be a vehicle for Thee... Give me my rapture today.

Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty, come along with me and take it all in. Come here my love.
Van Morrison
Image
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

I just like any music to swing, no matter what it is.
Van Morrison
Image
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison

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