You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.
Van Morrison
Image
The theory is that you don't play a song the same way twice because it's jazz. That's where I'm coming from.

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.

What was happening with me, with the album [A Period of Transition], with the people who took the pictures, the record company, everything, getting a new manager [Harvey Goldsmith]-it was all saying a period of transition to me so that was the title choice. It says what it is and obviously nobody is going to analyze that. It's exactly what it is.

Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold
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

It's all complete instinct and intuition, and that's extremely difficult to teach.
Van Morrison
Image
Some thoughts went through my head about recording some stuff that had influenced me earlier in my career like blues and early rock. But it didn't seem to really make sense at that point - it might have been taken the wrong way. A lot of people already had been into that trip.
Van Morrison

When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me And lights my life with love.

Do you remember the time darlin' when everything made more sense in the world? Oh I remember, I remember... when life made more sense... Take me back, take me back, take me way back... to when life made more sense.

Singing is my profession - there is no plan B.

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