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
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
If the spirit comes through in a Madame George type of song, that's what the spirit says. You have very little to do with it. You're like an instrument for what's coming through.
Van Morrison
My bag is approaching something and taking it to another place. Like words-you take a word and by the time you've finished with it, you milk it and you go through the emotion of what it is, what it means there and then.
Van Morrison
Once in a blue moon someone like you comes along.
Van Morrison
I don't have any regrets about the album [Veedon Fleece]. But it's the same old story - an album is basically 35 or 40 minutes of what you do. It's 'part' of what you do.
Van Morrison
I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.
Van Morrison
Meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion, and expect them to rise for the occasion.
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
The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport.
Van Morrison
Singing is my profession - there is no plan B.
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
In the gentle evening freeze, by the whispering shady trees I will find sanctuary in the Lord.
Van Morrison
Whether you're writing a book or a song or whatever, you've got to be involved in it. It's got to come from the heart I think...that's what it's all about.
Van Morrison
Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real.
Van Morrison
There's a million things that come through when you put songs together and it's kind of difficult to pinpoint exactly what triggers it on every occasion. It's just like somebody writing a screenplay or something like that.
Van Morrison
I never, ever said that I was a nice guy.
Van Morrison
I'm talking about noise rock. I don't think that noise rock element belongs in jazz. It's not for me anyway it just doesn't fit.
Van Morrison
Let go into the mystery. Let yourself go. And when you open up your heart, you get everything you need. Baby there's a way and a mystic road. You've got to have some faith to carry on, you've got to open up your heart to the Son.
Van Morrison
I don't like to wonder about it-I just like to do it. That's what I mean about the image stuff and all that. There's far too much emphasis being placed on that kind of stuff... the whole emphasis on what does it mean? Everybody has their own particular vision.
Van Morrison
