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.

More quotes by Van Morrison
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.
Van Morrison
There's a lot of sub-conscious stuff you may write but you don't then suddenly sit down and take out your analytical books and say: I'm determined to find out where this came from. You'd probably be wrong anyway.
Van Morrison
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
I had my eyes closed in the dark, I sighed a million sighs, I told a million lies, to myself, to myself.
Van Morrison
I'll tell you what does impress me: the fact that a lot of the cats who were our idols are still out there doing it. That impresses me very much.
Van Morrison
What I really like to do is just do the twist!
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
When you start to analyze [rock 'n' roll], it's only because you don't understand it. You're just not connecting with it once you have to start analyzing it.
Van Morrison
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.
Van Morrison
Laying underneath the stars Can be so much fun Especially when you're feeling good When you're with the one you love.
Van Morrison
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
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
I learnt from Armstrong on the early recordings that you never sang a song the same way twice.
Van Morrison
I shall drive my chariot down your street and cry hey it's me.
Van Morrison
I have to accept the fact that I was putting out records that reviewers were going to get an image from.
Van Morrison
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
I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.
Van Morrison
Everybody's got their own particular vision which is a personal thing.
Van Morrison
Won't You guide me through the dark night of the soul That I may better understand Your way... Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds That I may be a vehicle for Thee... Give me my rapture today.
Van Morrison
