More quotes by Van Morrison
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
Don't lose the wonder in your eyes It's right there when you smile... If we go back, for a while Let me go back, for a while To that magic time
Van Morrison
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
Let go into the mystery. Let yourself go. And when you open up your heart, you get everything you need. Baby there's a way and a mystic road. You've got to have some faith to carry on, you've got to open up your heart to the Son.
Van Morrison
We might think that we're really intellectual and we're going to check out the library to research the meaning every time somebody puts out a new record. It's still primitive stuff. It's the same now as it was at the beginning. It's no different now. Rock 'n' roll is spirit music-it's just coming through people.
Van Morrison
When the spirit moves me, I can do many wondrous things.
Van Morrison
I educated myself. To me, school was boring.
Van Morrison
Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.
Van Morrison
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
It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.
Van Morrison
I write songs. Then I record them. And later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple.
Van Morrison
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
My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.
Van Morrison
Britain is not the same anymore of course. It's never the same.
Van Morrison
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime. And leave one or two cards showing.
Van Morrison
I deliberately try not to cater for the commercial market, so I can't see myself in competition, you know, with second or third generation rock stars.
Van Morrison
All the girls walk by dressed up for each other, and the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street.
Van Morrison
No guru, no method, no teacher, just you and I and nature, and the father in the garden.
Van Morrison
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes... And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that they play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush... One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night
Van Morrison
If you're with a good band and everybody's from the old school, it's different. When you're in your element, you're in your element and things just come. You don't have to drag them out or force them out. They just happen.
Van Morrison
