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.

More quotes by Jeff Buckley

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
Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.
Jeff Buckley
Image
And though the meaning fits, there's no relief in this. I miss my beautiful friend.
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
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
Music should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.
Jeff Buckley
Image
Time to write and sing, to laugh, to listen, to discover, to cry, to love music.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I just want to be a guy with a guitar.
Jeff Buckley
Image
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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
A tune has to resonate with whatever is happening around it.
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.
Jeff Buckley

I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves
Jeff Buckley
Image
In love we are all brothers and sisters
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
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
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
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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
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.
Jeff Buckley
Image
I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.

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.
