Quote

Somebody asked me what I wanted to do. I just said I wanted to…just to give back to it what it’s given me. And to meet all the other people that are doing it…just to be in the world, really.

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Above all do not give yourself airs. Breaking the moment of past habits is the challenge here: In the life of the spirit you are always at the beginning.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.
Jeff Buckley
Image
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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Music should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.
Jeff Buckley
Image
There is no good singing, there is only present and absent.
Jeff Buckley

Words are beautiful but restricted. They're very masculine, with a compact frame. But voice is over the dark, the place where there's nothing to hang on: it comes from a part of yourself that simply knows, expresses itself, and is.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that's what matters. That's a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding.

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.

I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves
Jeff Buckley
Image
I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I have no advice for anybody except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I've already created my own thing.

Image
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run
Jeff Buckley
Image
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.

If you do anything regularly for a while, sooner or later the weirdoes will show up.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Sensitivity isn't about being wimpy. It's about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom
Jeff Buckley
Image
Music is endless and even though I've heard a whole bunch of music from so many different places and fallen in love countless times with all kinds of different music.There's still something about it,I guess it's called Freedom.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I've always felt that the quality of the voice is where the real content of a song lies. Words only suggest an experience, but the voice is that experience.

To do something that will just fly away is kind of special. Every time somebody tell you they love you, that I love you flies away, and you wait until the next one.
