More quotes by 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
It's like something happened to you that caused you to do what you do...you heard something somewhere, you felt something about this music that was definitely part of your own vision. That's what the whole thing is like.
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
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
Skiffle was blues featuring a washboard and acoustic instruments. It encompassed blues, with elements of folk, jazz, and, at times, American country-and-western music.
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
Jackie Wilson said it was Reet-Petite, kind of love you got knock me off my feet.
Van Morrison
Someone once described me as a maverick and that's what I would say. I'm a maverick not by choice but by conviction.
Van Morrison
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
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.
Van Morrison
At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.
Van Morrison
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison
Love of the simple is all that I need, I've no time for schism or lovers of greed.
Van Morrison
Don't lose the wonder in your eyes It's right there when you smile... If we go back, for a while Let me go back, for a while To that magic time
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.
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 like [George] Benson because I just like it. I like that kind of style. I don't like the broken up kind of style. I don't like where you play for 16 bars and then break it up into what somebody's version of what birds twittering sounds like, or what the sound of the city is, or what New York sounds like.
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
You know what they're writing about Baby you know what they're writing about It's a thing called love down through the ages Makes you wanna cry sometimes Makes you feel like you wanna lay down and die sometimes Makes you high sometimes But when you really get in it lifts you right up.
Van Morrison
The idea [of A Period of Transition album] was to get a break from everything for a while because I've been doing it for so long. I started doing it when I was 12.
Van Morrison
