Quote

The thing about albums is just coming up with new material. I just got tired of that syndrome of putting out an album and then some reviewer claims that this song or that song has something to do with x y or z.

If you never hear from me that just means I would rather not.
Van Morrison

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

We're [with Robbie Robertson ] jazz musicians. The context may be rock 'n' roll but it's still jazz. It's jazz and that means improvization...you play a tune the way it feels and you play it differently every time. It can never be the same.
Van Morrison

The job of the jazz people is to take it as far as it will go and that's what they're doing. But in the process of taking it out there, there has to be some times when they're not getting it right. It all depends on what you dig. I personally don't think the fusion of jazz with the heaviness of rock is working.

I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
Van Morrison

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.
Van Morrison

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

It's the same thing as a primitive of Africans, Indians, nomads or whatever - when they start getting up and doing their ritual and doing the dance, it's just what's coming through. It's the spirit. Rock 'n' roll is still primitive.
Van Morrison

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
The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on.
Van Morrison
Image
Laying underneath the stars Can be so much fun Especially when you're feeling good When you're with the one you love.

I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.
Van Morrison
Image
You take stuff from different places, and sometimes you stick a line in because it rhymes, not because it makes sense.
Van Morrison
Image
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
You learn to read the audiences after a while, and there are all different kinds of gigs.

What I really like to do is just do the twist!
Van Morrison
Image
I was all caught up with identifying with certain things. They just weren't very stimulating things.
Van Morrison
Image
I always record far more than I can use. There's probably twice as much recorded as comes out.
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.

Once you start to analyze it [Joyous Sound], you've completely lost it. That one just came.
