More quotes by Van Morrison
[The music is about ] for the purpose of getting people to an excitement level. They feel something, they feel emotions. They're going to go home after that concert and remember it.Maybe they got something out of the experience rather than intellectualizing about what songs mean which is the whole head trip.
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
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.
Van Morrison
Leave your thoughtlessness behind you then you may begin to understand. Clear the emptiness around you with the waving of your hand.
Van Morrison
I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.
Van Morrison
In the media, a reviewer has his personal vision but it's passed along to a million readers or whatever. He might think that this particular song sounds like Jo Blow. Or like a Bo Diddley record that he heard six years ago. But the artist who made the record may never have even heard the Bo Diddley song. We all respond differently.
Van Morrison
Jazz goes into folk music, into rock music. Jazz is in practically everything except classical music where they're reading the same music all the time, the same way, the same tempo every night.
Van Morrison
If you get into introspective blues or something where you're stretching out a bit, large audiences don't respond to this, so you have to give them what they want, basically.
Van Morrison
Sometimes you do know where the ideas are coming from and sometimes you don't. You might get a song coming through that you just don't know about.
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
Love of the simple is all that I need, I've no time for schism or lovers of greed.
Van Morrison
I was just getting tired of the image bullshit...that man of mystery trip and what have you. What's that all about?
Van Morrison
I felt kind of bored at the prospect of writing some more of my own songs because I really wasn't saying what I wanted to say.
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
My experiences with dope were not good for me. I had to go another route. Because in my experience, dope didn't give me those insights.
Van Morrison
You come into my dreams from a whisper to a scream.
Van Morrison
I was like one of those newspapers, those periodicals. There's all different kinds of alcoholics. There's the everyday kind: that's the consistent one. That's what people think an alcoholic is-but an alcoholic is basically just someone who's allergic to alcohol. That's all it means. It's just an allergy.
Van Morrison
I think that there are quite a few acts which have stayed with the basic feelings and that's good. And I see something of a swing back to that. For example there are quite a few people copying my early stuff now. Like it's become a reference point or something.
Van Morrison
Singing is my profession - there is no plan B.
Van Morrison
A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.
Van Morrison
