More quotes by Van Morrison

Hearing the blues changed my life.
Van Morrison
Image
If I ventured in the slipstream between the viaducts of your dreams, where immobile steel rims crack and the ditch in the back roads stop. Could you find me?
Van Morrison
Image
It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down.
Van Morrison
Image
J.P. Donleavy - now he's one writer I am consistent with. He's written books that I can definitely connect with. He has amazing insights which other people missed out on. Even with his descriptions of Northern Ireland.
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
I just need somewhere to dump all my negativity.
Van Morrison
Image
I had my eyes closed in the dark, I sighed a million sighs, I told a million lies, to myself, to myself.
Van Morrison
Image
Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.
Van Morrison

There's quite a few people getting into that - new acts coming along that are using a lot of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s. They're completely ignoring the 70s which is kind of a turn on because to me nothing has really gone down in the 70s.
Van Morrison
Image
I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.

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
Go up to the mountain, go up to the glen, where silence will touch you, and heartbreak will mend.
Van Morrison
Image
The blues - there's no black and white - it's the truth.
Van Morrison
Image
I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
Van Morrison
Image
The fact I wasn't getting off made me realize that I really had to take a hard look at it and at the type of music that I played, which ranges from ballads to country type stuff to rock and rhythm 'n' blues. It takes in a wider spectrum.
Van Morrison

I always record far more than I can use. There's probably twice as much recorded as comes out.
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
Image
It was like I had evolved to a certain stage where I was stuck in this songwriter bag as an image. But basically at heart, I'm a rocker. And I still am. But I was caught up in the singer/songwriter bag and I wasn't really enjoying it.
Van Morrison

You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs.
Van Morrison

Performing was the natural thing originally and the rest of it [records and so on] is just like offshoots of that. That's how I see it anyway.
