I think I opened up an area with Astral Weeks that hit a lot of peoples' nerves. But you can't really say that they're my favorite songs.
Van Morrison

Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
The summer breeze was blowing on your face Within your violet you treasure your summery words And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden

I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.

Definitely Muddy Waters has been a prime influence for anybody who's ever done anything rock 'n' roll.
Van Morrison

Every performance is different. That's the beauty of it.

It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.

[Rock 'n' roll] music started out with some cat banging a log with a couple of pieces of stick. He sent a message across a river and although the cat on the other side receiving the message didn't know the exact words, he did understand basically something about what was being communicated.

[Rock 'n' roll] is still a primitive form and there's no way you can get away from that. It's one of the primitive art forms and that's why it's good and that's why it's lasted...you know, it hasn't become sophisticated and it's not in the opera house.
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
Image
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
Image
Heavy Connection is just basically about psychic stuff...it's kind of about connections that you're not normally making. It's like a fate number where you're making psychic connections that you're not really aware of but they're there.
Van Morrison

And I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And magnificently we will fold into the mystic

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.

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

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
