More quotes by Van Morrison
There's always stress involved in any genre or art form, there's always going to be a struggle. If there's no struggle, you wouldn't do anything. What are you going do? Retire?
Van Morrison
Once in a blue moon someone like you comes along.
Van Morrison
[Rock 'n' roll] music started out with some cat banging a log with a couple of pieces of stick. He sent a message across a river and although the cat on the other side receiving the message didn't know the exact words, he did understand basically something about what was being communicated.
Van Morrison
If you never hear from me that just means I would rather not.
Van Morrison
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
There's quite a few people getting into that - new acts coming along that are using a lot of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s. They're completely ignoring the 70s which is kind of a turn on because to me nothing has really gone down in the 70s.
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
I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!
Van Morrison
I'm talking about noise rock. I don't think that noise rock element belongs in jazz. It's not for me anyway it just doesn't fit.
Van Morrison
We might think that we're really intellectual and we're going to check out the library to research the meaning every time somebody puts out a new record. It's still primitive stuff. It's the same now as it was at the beginning. It's no different now. Rock 'n' roll is spirit music-it's just coming through people.
Van Morrison
I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That's what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.
Van Morrison
What excited me when I first came into it was the performing aspect and doing blues-oriented material, rock/blues oriented stuff, basic stuff, basic what they call rock 'n' roll.
Van Morrison
Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.
Van Morrison
The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.
Van Morrison
I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.
Van Morrison
Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.
Van Morrison
I've got love in my life, as well as trouble and strife.
Van Morrison
The job of the jazz people is to take it as far as it will go and that's what they're doing. But in the process of taking it out there, there has to be some times when they're not getting it right. It all depends on what you dig. I personally don't think the fusion of jazz with the heaviness of rock is working.
Van Morrison
Meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion, and expect them to rise for the occasion.
Van Morrison
And I shall watch the ferry boats, and they'll get high, on a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky. and i will never grow so old again, and i will walk and talk, in gardens all wet with rain.
Van Morrison
