More quotes by Van Morrison
My thinking musically has always been more advanced - it is difficult to get it down onto paper sometimes, even now.
Van Morrison
I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.
Van Morrison
The wild night is calling.
Van Morrison
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
You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.
Van Morrison
If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?
Van Morrison
All the girls walk by dressed up for each other, and the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street.
Van Morrison

Van Morrison

Van Morrison
Hearing the blues changed my life.
Van Morrison
I just can't stand it [jazz/rock]. It just doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't hit me...it doesn't get me...it just doesn't grab me.
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
Once in a blue moon someone like you comes along.
Van Morrison
I educated myself. To me, school was boring.
Van Morrison
When the ghost comes round at midnight Well you both can have some fun He can drive you mad, he can make you sad He can keep you from the sun When they take him down, he'll be both safe and sound And the hand does fit the glove And no matter what they tell you, There's good and evil in everyone.
Van Morrison
In deep confusion, in great despair, when I reach out for him, he is there. When I am lonely as I can be, then I know God shines his light on me.
Van Morrison
Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.
Van Morrison
I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.
Van Morrison
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.
Van Morrison
I always record far more than I can use. There's probably twice as much recorded as comes out.
Van Morrison
