Quote

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.

More quotes by Van Morrison

Image
Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature and beauty, come along with me and take it all in. Come here my love.
Van Morrison
Image
I deliberately try not to cater for the commercial market, so I can't see myself in competition, you know, with second or third generation rock stars.
Van Morrison
Image
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.

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.

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
Image
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.

J.P. Donleavy - now he's one writer I am consistent with. He's written books that I can definitely connect with. He has amazing insights which other people missed out on. Even with his descriptions of Northern Ireland.

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
Image
There's quite a few people getting into that - new acts coming along that are using a lot of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s. They're completely ignoring the 70s which is kind of a turn on because to me nothing has really gone down in the 70s.
Van Morrison
Image
Shivers up and down my spine It's a feeling so divine Let me go back for a while Got to go back for a while To that magic time.
Van Morrison
Image
These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.
Van Morrison
Image
The trip had become boring. It wasn't exciting anymore to totally be a singer/songwriter because it wasn't working for me.
Van Morrison
Image
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
Image
When the spirit moves me, I can do many wondrous things.
Van Morrison
Image
It's real difficult to pin down directions. I just want to do collaboration-tape stuff.
Van Morrison
Image
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.

I wrote a couple of songs that had gypsy references in them. The only reason it happened was because that's what was coming through and I liked the idea at that period of time. But that doesn't mean that it's a myth or that I'm a gypsy. It's gotten totally out of context.

Let your soul and spirit fly.
Van Morrison
Image
When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now.
Van Morrison

What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.
