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

Image
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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
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.
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 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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I've already created my own thing.
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
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
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
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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Be seriously involved with growing, with your own development, and never fear. Be the kind of person who is naturally powerful, positive, ingenious, open, to the highest degree. Be the best. No negativity. No weakness. No acquiescence to fear or disaster. No errors of ignorance. No evasion to reality.

If you do anything regularly for a while, sooner or later the weirdoes will show up.
Jeff Buckley
Image
In love we are all brothers and sisters
Jeff Buckley
Image
I want to be ripped apart by music.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves

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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
We are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Time to write and sing, to laugh, to listen, to discover, to cry, to love music.
Jeff Buckley
Image
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I sacrificed my anonymity for my father, whereas he sacrificed me for his fame.

There is no good singing, there is only present and absent.
