More quotes by Jeff Buckley
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
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
There is no good singing, there is only present and absent.
Jeff Buckley
I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves
Jeff Buckley
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?
Jeff Buckley
In love we are all brothers and sisters
Jeff Buckley
I just want to be a guy with a guitar.
Jeff Buckley
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
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
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
I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.
Jeff Buckley
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
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
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.
Jeff Buckley
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
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
Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.
Jeff Buckley
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
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
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
