More quotes by Van Morrison
The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport.
Van Morrison
The fact I wasn't getting off made me realize that I really had to take a hard look at it and at the type of music that I played, which ranges from ballads to country type stuff to rock and rhythm 'n' blues. It takes in a wider spectrum.
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
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
In the gentle evening freeze, by the whispering shady trees I will find sanctuary in the Lord.
Van Morrison
What I really like to do is just do the twist!
Van Morrison
I think intellectualization is what's killing most people.
Van Morrison
Skiffle was blues featuring a washboard and acoustic instruments. It encompassed blues, with elements of folk, jazz, and, at times, American country-and-western music.
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 like to see people reaching back for the roots and for the reason why. Not intellectually, but just for the gut feeling of what it's all about.
Van Morrison
I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.
Van Morrison
I felt kind of bored at the prospect of writing some more of my own songs because I really wasn't saying what I wanted to say.
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
When I started studying tenor saxophone as a kid in Belfast, I did so with a guy named George Cassidy, who was also a big inspiration.
Van Morrison
Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.
Van Morrison
Don't want to discuss it, I think it's time for a change You may get disgusted, some think that I'm strange In that case I'll go underground, get some heavy rest Never have to worry, about what is worst and what is best.
Van Morrison
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
Van Morrison
No guru, no method, no teacher, just you and I and nature, and the father in the garden.
Van Morrison
When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love.
Van Morrison
I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.
Van Morrison
