More From Van Morrison

Many times when people have a vision, they think in terms of a big vision - i want to take my city for christ. but the problem with many pastors and this type of vision is this: they haven't developed the strategy to fulfill that vision. a pastor preaches a dream or vision to his/her people, they get excited for a week, a month, or a couple of months, but there is no strategy, planning, or process to fulfill that vision.
Dream Couple Thinking
Christ represents originally: 1) men before god; 2) god for men; 3) men to man. similarly, money represents originally, in accordance with the idea of money: 1) private property for private property; 2) society for private property; 3) private property for society. but christ is alienated god and alienated man. god has value only insofar as he represents christ, and man has value only insofar as he represents christ. it is the same with money.

The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

'something more' is a song that i wrote not necessarily about country radio, more so about a lot of songs that were being pitched to me. i wrote that after song after song after song was just the same song, just a different melody, so i was just looking for something more to put on the record.

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.
Thinking Dancing Listening
I always think of each night as a song. or each moment as a song. but now i'm seeing we don't live in a single song. we move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. there is no ending here. it's an infinite playlist.
