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.

[Jean-Paul] Sartre was a throwback to the existential period. I'm not really so much into that these days. I went through a period of going over things and looking at them again to see what they were. But I'm into psychiatry type things. I'm into philosophy. I'm into that sort of thing.

You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.
Van Morrison
Image
I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
You are who you are. It doesn't make any point to go out and buy the Top 40 albums to see what those acts are doing. There's no point in hearing what's going on. The only thing that's going on is what's been going forever. It's just that some people dig that bag and some people dig the other bag.
Van Morrison
Image
Ambition will take you And ride you too far and Conservatism bring you to boredom once more Sit down by the river And watch the stream flow Recall all the dreams That you once used to know The things you've forgotten That took you away To pastures not greener but meaner.
Van Morrison

There's a lot of sub-conscious stuff you may write but you don't then suddenly sit down and take out your analytical books and say: I'm determined to find out where this came from. You'd probably be wrong anyway.
Van Morrison

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Van Morrison
Image
The job of the jazz people is to take it as far as it will go and that's what they're doing. But in the process of taking it out there, there has to be some times when they're not getting it right. It all depends on what you dig. I personally don't think the fusion of jazz with the heaviness of rock is working.
Van Morrison
Image
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

I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.

Smell the sea and feel the sky.

I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.

What I really like to do is just do the twist!

My thinking musically has always been more advanced - it is difficult to get it down onto paper sometimes, even now.
Van Morrison
Image
I have to accept the fact that I was putting out records that reviewers were going to get an image from.

If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
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
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

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.
