I didn't know what some of the stuff on Astral Weeks was about until years later.
Van Morrison
Image
When the ghost comes round at midnight Well you both can have some fun He can drive you mad, he can make you sad He can keep you from the sun When they take him down, he'll be both safe and sound And the hand does fit the glove And no matter what they tell you, There's good and evil in everyone.
Van Morrison
Image
I think intellectualization is what's killing most people.
Van Morrison
Image
Everybody's got their own particular vision which is a personal thing.
Van Morrison
Image
Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds that I may be a vehicle for thee.
Van Morrison
Image
It's like something happened to you that caused you to do what you do...you heard something somewhere, you felt something about this music that was definitely part of your own vision. That's what the whole thing is like.
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
A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.
Van Morrison
Image
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea They thought great thoughts about liberty Poets wrote down words that did fit Writers wrote books Thinkers thought about it.

Britain is not the same anymore of course. It's never the same.
Van Morrison
Image
Rock is gut level and it just gets to people. I think there's far too much emphasis on intellectualization, especially in rock 'n' roll which is a primitive form.
Van Morrison
Image
You've got to separate the singer and the songs.
Van Morrison
Image
Don't want to discuss it, I think it's time for a change You may get disgusted, some think that I'm strange In that case I'll go underground, get some heavy rest Never have to worry, about what is worst and what is best.
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
The media is going to stick a label on records. And the public is going to pick it up from that. And that's what I was getting sick of-the whole analyzation thing.
Van Morrison
Image
I'm talking about noise rock. I don't think that noise rock element belongs in jazz. It's not for me anyway it just doesn't fit.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.
Van Morrison
Image
I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
Van Morrison

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
