This Hollywood ain't no good, I would rather be like Robin Hood.
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.

Once in a blue moon someone like you comes along.

Joyous Sound evolved from a gospel influence. Actually it evolved out of sitting at a piano and just picking out a riff, a gospel type riff. It just seemed to come joyously-something about the song, about living in another place of joyous sounds. I'm not quite sure-that's one I'm trying to analyze. It just came out.

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.

Jazz comes from a tradition where it swings. Swing was the main ingredient of jazz. And once it loses the swing...well, that's it.
Van Morrison

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.
Van Morrison

I am about the arrangements and the layers of depth in the music.
Van Morrison

I'm a dweller of the threshold and I'm waiting at the door, and I'm standing in the darkness, I don't want to wait no more.
Van Morrison
Image
I never paid attention to what was contemporary or what was commercial, it didn't mean anything to me.
Van Morrison
Image
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.
Van Morrison

You've got to separate the singer and the songs.

I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.

That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.

Skiffle was a name that was attached to what was, in essence, American folk music with a beat.

The summer breeze was blowing on your face Within your violet you treasure your summery words And as the shiver from my neck down to my spine Ignited me in daylight and nature in the garden

When you hear the music ringin' in your soul And you feel it in your heart and it grows and grows And it comes from the backstreet rock & roll and the healing has begun...
Van Morrison

It's the emotion...each word has got a connotation and symbolism and the thing is finding what's behind the word-what meaning it has and what emotion. I'm really into vocal repetition as a definite art form.
