I didn't know what some of the stuff on Astral Weeks was about until years later.
Van Morrison
Image
There was a conflict - the actual putting together of the reality of the situation didn't seem to gel. I'd been doing kind of a slow ballad type of thing on records, but when it came to performing, I felt I was limiting myself.
Van Morrison
Image
Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.
Van Morrison
Image
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

We're [with Robbie Robertson ] jazz musicians. The context may be rock 'n' roll but it's still jazz. It's jazz and that means improvization...you play a tune the way it feels and you play it differently every time. It can never be the same.
Van Morrison
Image
I think intellectualization is what's killing most people.
Van Morrison
Image
Britain is not the same anymore of course. It's never the same.
Van Morrison

You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
Image
[Jazz musicians] couldn't cut rock. I had to be more limited and specific about what I was doing.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
If you're a pop singer, you don't need to evolve. You just get a set together, have some hit songs and play them over and over.
Van Morrison
Image
If the spirit comes through in a Madame George type of song, that's what the spirit says. You have very little to do with it. You're like an instrument for what's coming through.
Van Morrison
Image
Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.
Van Morrison
Image
I forgot that love existed, troubled in my mind. Heartache after heartache, worried all the time. I forgot that love existed Then I saw the light Everyone around me make everything alright.
Van Morrison
Image
Whether you're writing a book or a song or whatever, you've got to be involved in it. It's got to come from the heart I think...that's what it's all about.
Van Morrison
Image
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

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
Image
Common one, my illuminated one, oh my high in the art of suffering. Take a walk with me.
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.

You can't stop us on the road to freedom, you can't stop us cause our eyes can see.
