Van Morrison
The Eternal Kansas City song came from a dream sequence. It was actually kind of weird. I had this dream about a Kansas City type of thing while I was up at Stevie Winwood's place near Cheltenham, in Britain. I went into this small town and I was walking along and this dream thing was still in my head.
Van Morrison
I think I opened up an area with Astral Weeks that hit a lot of peoples' nerves. But you can't really say that they're my favorite songs.
Van Morrison
Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.
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.
Van Morrison
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold
Van Morrison
The wild night is calling.
Van Morrison
Smell the sea and feel the sky.
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
Let your soul and spirit fly.
Van Morrison
