All the girls walk by dressed up for each other, and the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street.
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.

I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.
Van Morrison
Image
Don't want to discuss it, I think it's time for a change You may get disgusted, some think that I'm strange In that case I'll go underground, get some heavy rest Never have to worry, about what is worst and what is best.
Van Morrison

It's a marvelous night for a moondance!
Van Morrison
Image
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes... And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that they play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush... One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night

I'm a working man in my prime cleaning windows.
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

At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.

The blues - there's no black and white - it's the truth.

You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
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.
