Frases de Van Morrison

Sir George Ivan "Van" Morrison, Kt., OBE é um cantor e compositor britânico, natural da Irlanda do Norte.

Dedicou-se desde muito cedo à música porque o seu pai coleccionava discos de jazz, e a mãe era cantora.

Atingiu a maturidade à frente dos Them, banda formada em 1964, e com a qual obteve uma série de êxitos.

Morrison começou a ficar triste devido à grande utilização de músicos de estúdio por parte da banda e abandonou o seu grupo após uma digressão pelos Estados Unidos em 1966. Regressou a Belfast com a intenção de deixar o mundo da música, mas o produtor Bert Berns convenceu-o a regressar a Nova Iorque e a gravar a solo. Destas primeiras sessões de gravação saiu uma das suas músicas mais conhecidas, "Brown Eyed Girl".

Em 1968, é editado Astral Weeks, considerado por muitos o seu melhor trabalho, muito aclamado pela crítica, mas não tendo muita aceitação por parte do público. Morrison geralmente mostra algum desdém pelas opiniões da imprensa e da crítica. O seu trabalho é, muitas vezes, de natureza espiritual, combinando elementos do jazz, R&B e música celta.

Em 1990, participou no espectáculo de Roger Waters, The Wall in Berlin, com outros convidados, entre os quais Bryan Adams e Scorpions. Wikipedia

Van Morrison: Frases em inglês

“I've been travellin' a hard road
Baby lookin' for someone exactly like you
I've been carryin' my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come shining through
Someone like you
Make it all worth while
Someone like you
Make me satisfied
Someone exactly like you.”

Someone Like You
Song lyrics, Poetic Champions Compose (1987)

“And they'll talk to you while you're in trances
And you'll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace and persuasion
And expect them to rise for the occasion.”

Glad Tidings
Song lyrics, Moondance (1970)

“The way you see me walking on
That's why I'm telling you in song
There's only one way to get ahead
You've got to give it up instead
Start all over again.”

Start All Over Again
Song lyrics, Enlightenment (1990)

“Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.”

Brown Eyed Girl
Song lyrics, Blowin' Your Mind! (1967)

“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
I want you to put on your pretty summer dress
You can wear your Easter bonnet and all the rest
And I wanna make love to you yes, yes, yes and the healing has begun.”

And the Healing Has Begun
Song lyrics, Into the Music (1979)

“Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
You've got to open up your heart
That's all I know
Trust what I say and do what you're told
Baby, and all your dirt will turn
Into gold.”

As quoted in Can You Feel the Silence? Van Morrison: A New Biography (2003) by Clinton Heylin<!-- Chicago Review Press -->

“Walkin' on a city street who would think you could ever be touched
By a total stranger, not me
But when you came up to me that day and I listened to your story
It reminded me so much of myself
It wasn't what you said but the way it felt to me
About a search and a journey just like mine.”

Beside You
Song lyrics, Astral Weeks (1969)

“Did you ever hear about the great deception?
Well the plastic revolutionaries take the money and run.
Have you ever been down to love city?
Where they rip you off with a smile,
And it don't take a gun.”
