More quotes by Van Morrison
The theory is that you don't play a song the same way twice because it's jazz. That's where I'm coming from.
Van Morrison
[Jazz musicians] couldn't cut rock. I had to be more limited and specific about what I was doing.
Van Morrison
I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.
Van Morrison
You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.
Van Morrison
I just wanted to have a look at my whole musical career, get right back to when I started and why I started doing it in the first place.
Van Morrison
Sometimes, when the spirit moves me I can do many wondrous things I wanna know when the spirit moves you Did ye get healed?
Van Morrison
There's an angel that's watching right over you All your trials have not been in vain Won't you lift your head up to the starry night Finding strength in the things that remain.
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
Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.
Van Morrison
What was happening with me, with the album [A Period of Transition], with the people who took the pictures, the record company, everything, getting a new manager [Harvey Goldsmith]-it was all saying a period of transition to me so that was the title choice. It says what it is and obviously nobody is going to analyze that. It's exactly what it is.
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
The idea [of A Period of Transition album] was to get a break from everything for a while because I've been doing it for so long. I started doing it when I was 12.
Van Morrison
I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.
Van Morrison
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
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
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold
Van Morrison
That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.
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
I'm very lucky, I'm happy with life because my experiences led me to do what I had to do. I don't have any regrets whatsoever.
Van Morrison
I forgot that love existed, troubled in my mind. Heartache after heartache, worried all the time. I forgot that love existed Then I saw the light Everyone around me make everything alright.
Van Morrison
