Quote

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.

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?

Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.
Jeff Buckley
Image
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
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
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

love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Jeff Buckley

In love we are all brothers and sisters
Jeff Buckley

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

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.

Fate is gonna find you in your glass of champagne.

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

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.

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 resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.

I want to be ripped apart by music.

I just want to be a guy with a guitar.

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

And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this. I miss my beautiful friend.

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.
