More on Music
Music, for me, is a love bewitched.
Fame as a painter?
Writer, modern poet? Bad joke.
So I have no calling, and loaf.
The music industry, I've never been concerned with. I've been very fortunate that it has taken care of me. Like a baby being breast fed.
No composer has written as much as 100 bars of worthwhile music since 1925.
Into the Music was about the first album where I felt, 'I'm starting here'...the Wavelength thing, I didn't really feel that was me.
Van Morrison Can You Feel the Silence? Van Morrison: A New Biography (2003)
The music, the sound of words working together, has always mattered to me.
There was music all about us, we were growing quite forgetful
We were only singing seamen from the dirt of Londontown.
If I could go through it all again,
the slender iron rungs of growing up,
I would be as young as any,
a child lost
in unreality and loud music.
Music is nothing but ratios and harmonic math, anyways.
