Quote

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.

Don't lose the wonder in your eyes It's right there when you smile... If we go back, for a while Let me go back, for a while To that magic time
Van Morrison
Image
Into the Music was about the first album where I felt, 'I'm starting here'...the Wavelength thing, I didn't really feel that was me.
Van Morrison
Image
If you live the life you love, you get the blessing from above.
Van Morrison
Image
If I ventured in the slipstream between the viaducts of your dreams, where immobile steel rims crack and the ditch in the back roads stop. Could you find me?
Van Morrison
Image
Performing was the natural thing originally and the rest of it [records and so on] is just like offshoots of that. That's how I see it anyway.
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
Image
In deep confusion, in great despair, when I reach out for him, he is there. When I am lonely as I can be, then I know God shines his light on me.
Van Morrison
Image
If you get into introspective blues or something where you're stretching out a bit, large audiences don't respond to this, so you have to give them what they want, basically.
Van Morrison
Image
Music to me is spontaneous, writing is spontaneous and it's all based on not trying to do it. From beginning to end, whether it's writing a song, or playing guitar, or a particular chord sequence, or blowing a horn, it's based on improvisation and spontaneity.
Van Morrison
Image
I have seen without perceiving I have been another man Let me pierce the realm of glamour So I know just what I am.
Van Morrison
Image
Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.
Van Morrison
Image
The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport.
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
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
I think we're going a bit too fast at the minute. The rate we're going is like we're going over the edge of the hill.

Laying underneath the stars Can be so much fun Especially when you're feeling good When you're with the one you love.

I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.
Van Morrison
Image
Like I said, basically I'm a rocker. That's about it. Things that I've done away from that-branches that I've gotten into off of that - are just other streams, other things that I can do.
Van Morrison

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.

I realized that what I was looking for was doing collaborations with other people - people who can play a ballad, rock, jazz. I was looking for more co-op type things than what I had been doing, which had been completely my own trip.
