More quotes by Van Morrison
The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.
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'd come to the point where I wasn't really putting out creatively. I didn't seem to have anything to say in that period of time after the '74 tour. There was nothing definite that I wanted to record.
Van Morrison
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 can put out an album and it could be totally out of the window as far as what you want to do performance-wise.
Van Morrison
Won't You guide me through the dark night of the soul That I may better understand Your way... Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds That I may be a vehicle for Thee... Give me my rapture today.
Van Morrison
For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts, it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cos I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.
Van Morrison
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.
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
If you're putting somebody down, you're doing it because you're just seeing a part of yourself that you don't like. That's all that is.
Van Morrison
You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs.
Van Morrison
[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.
Van Morrison
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.
Van Morrison
When I first started drinking, everybody was doing it. That was before they discovered marijuana and all that. It was the late 50s, early 60s - it was the beginnings of the rock 'n' roll era. The main drink was like wine. And even that was a romantic throwback to something.
Van Morrison
As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music.
Van Morrison
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.
Van Morrison
Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.
Van Morrison
I find it extremely difficult talking about my songs because there's so many different things that can make a song come together.
Van Morrison
