When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now.
Van Morrison
Image
When you hear the music ringin' in your soul And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun...
Van Morrison
Image
I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.
Van Morrison
Image
I educated myself. To me, school was boring.
Van Morrison
Image
I'd come to the point where I wasn't really putting out creatively. I didn't seem to have anything to say in that period of time after the '74 tour. There was nothing definite that I wanted to record.
Van Morrison
Image
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.

Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.

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.

The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.
Van Morrison
Image
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

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.
Van Morrison
Image
You are who you are. It doesn't make any point to go out and buy the Top 40 albums to see what those acts are doing. There's no point in hearing what's going on. The only thing that's going on is what's been going forever. It's just that some people dig that bag and some people dig the other bag.

Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied

I didn't know what some of the stuff on Astral Weeks was about until years later.

That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.
Van Morrison
Image
The media is going to stick a label on records. And the public is going to pick it up from that. And that's what I was getting sick of-the whole analyzation thing.
Van Morrison
Image
Jazz was always cool. That was what I liked about jazz - it was always cool. Now I see the cats that were basically cool getting kind of uncool. So that ruins what I feel about jazz.

If it's what you do and you can do it, then you do it.
Van Morrison
Image
There aren't any labels - all jazz means is improvization and you can never play a tune the same way twice. So jazz spills over into everything.

Let go into the mystery Let yourself go You've got to open up your heart That's all I know Trust what I say and do what you're told Baby, and all your dirt will turn Into gold.
