More quotes by Van Morrison
The music I really like to get off on is the old rhythm 'n' blues and rock 'n' roll stuff... that's what I really dig. And I also dig to sing ballads as well. And I also dig writing my own songs. I was just trying to find a way of integrating the whole thing, taking a look at the total picture.
Van Morrison
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
From the dark end of the street - To the bright side of the road - We'll be lovers once again on the - Bright side of the road
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
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
If you want to put your rock 'n' roll into mythology, [A Period of Transition] is from the Daddy Cool school.
Van Morrison
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
Joyous Sound evolved from a gospel influence. Actually it evolved out of sitting at a piano and just picking out a riff, a gospel type riff. It just seemed to come joyously-something about the song, about living in another place of joyous sounds. I'm not quite sure-that's one I'm trying to analyze. It just came out.
Van Morrison
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
Jazz was always cool. That was what I liked about jazz - it was always cool. Now I see the cats that were basically cool getting kind of uncool. So that ruins what I feel about jazz.
Van Morrison
When I started out in this business, I was a performer before I was a songwriter, I was a performer before I was recording. Performing is the roots. That's where it all came from. You didn't start out doing it because you wanted to make an album.
Van Morrison
When heart is open, you will change just like a flower slowly opening.
Van Morrison
You can call it nostalgia, I don't mind Standing on that windswept hillside Listening to the church bells chime Listen to the church bells chime In that magic time.
Van Morrison
[The music is about ] for the purpose of getting people to an excitement level. They feel something, they feel emotions. They're going to go home after that concert and remember it.Maybe they got something out of the experience rather than intellectualizing about what songs mean which is the whole head trip.
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
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
Shivers up and down my spine It's a feeling so divine Let me go back for a while Got to go back for a while To that magic time.
Van Morrison
I just can't stand jazz/rock. I think it's the worst thing that's come down the river yet.
Van Morrison
A fantabulous night to make romance.
Van Morrison
I was just getting tired of the image bullshit...that man of mystery trip and what have you. What's that all about?
