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.

When all of this music sounds like you know what you want to say, then it will have been of all worth, ever. You will be something complete unto yourself, present and unique.
Jeff Buckley

I've already created my own thing.
Jeff Buckley
Image
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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I want to be ripped apart by music.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I sacrificed my anonymity for my father, whereas he sacrificed me for his fame.

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.

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

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 just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.

I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves

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

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?

I just want to be a guy with a guitar.

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
The music can tell people everything they need to know about being human beings. It's not my information, it's not mine. I didn't make it. I just discovered it.
Jeff Buckley
Image
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
love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Jeff Buckley

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

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
