I like a spirituality with a God that knows how to drive a car, that knows how to take his girl to the dance club, dance all night, have a little drink, kiss the kid when they come back in and go to sleep. God doesn't need a chauffeur-- he needs to drive himself.

Kiss me out of desire, but not consolation.
Jeff Buckley

Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.

Kiss me, please kiss me But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

I'm lying in my bed, blanket is warm, this body will never keep me safe from harm. I still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal. Touch my skin to keep me whole. If only you'd come back to me. To feel you at my side, wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied.

I like cinematic art that doesn't have to include violence as the main meat of emotion. Now, excellence in cinema is based on murder, guns. Tarantino bores me. Even though he is very appealing and very facile about putting elements of pop culture into his work. But it kinds of dates it, right?

Time to write and sing, to laugh, to listen, to discover, to cry, to love music.

We are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain.

I just want to be a guy with a guitar.

My favorite kind of music is the stuff that stops time. You put something on to sit there and let an experience go through you. To look at yourself clearly through a song. It's true of all art, all mediums, but for some reason music has a direct line straight into people.

my kingdom for a kiss upon your shoulder lover you should have come over-
Jeff Buckley

But music seems to me to be the most closely identified with my soul. I mean, I feel that it’s the best for me. It just gets into the bloodstream so quickly, for no reason at all. You can close your heart, and you can sleep even with your eyes closed, but you can never close your ears.

I don't write my music for Sony. I write it for the people who are screaming down the road crying to a full-blast stereo.

A tune has to resonate with whatever is happening around it.

I've already created my own thing.

Your soul can fly outward, stringed to your ribcage like a shimmering kite in the shape of an open hand. Be still and listen to the evidence of your own holiness.

I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I don't want my reputation to take me over, I just want to be judged on my songs. I want people to come and see me because they want to, not because fashion dictates it.

Music should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.
