More quotes by 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
I just can't stand it [jazz/rock]. It just doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't hit me...it doesn't get me...it just doesn't grab me.
Van Morrison
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes... And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that they play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush... One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night
Van Morrison
Going down the old mine with a transistor radio.
Van Morrison
There aren't any labels - all jazz means is improvization and you can never play a tune the same way twice. So jazz spills over into everything.
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
Jazz comes from a tradition where it swings. Swing was the main ingredient of jazz. And once it loses the swing...well, that's it.
Van Morrison
I was like one of those newspapers, those periodicals. There's all different kinds of alcoholics. There's the everyday kind: that's the consistent one. That's what people think an alcoholic is-but an alcoholic is basically just someone who's allergic to alcohol. That's all it means. It's just an allergy.
Van Morrison
I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.
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
Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.
Van Morrison
When you perform live, it's a different trip - it's different energy. I just felt a conflict between both of the trips. I was trying to evaluate what it meant for me to be a singer/songwriter and what that whole thing all meant.
Van Morrison
You can't stop us on the road to freedom, you can't stop us cause our eyes can see.
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
See the man on the TV with a phony smile. Bring you up, bring you down, he can turn your head around.
Van Morrison
I had my eyes closed in the dark, I sighed a million sighs, I told a million lies, to myself, to myself.
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
Van Morrison
You've got to separate the singer and the songs.
Van Morrison
If you never hear from me that just means I would rather not.
Van Morrison
When you start to analyze [rock 'n' roll], it's only because you don't understand it. You're just not connecting with it once you have to start analyzing it.
Van Morrison
