More quotes by Jeff Buckley
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
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
Music should be like making love. Sometimes you want it soft and tender, another time you want it hard and aggressive.
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
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
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
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run
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
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
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
my kingdom for a kiss upon your shoulder lover you should have come over-
Jeff Buckley
I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves
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
In love we are all brothers and sisters
Jeff Buckley
I resent the fact that a parental warning sticker has to be included on an album as cover art. To me that's censorship.
Jeff Buckley
Fate is gonna find you in your glass of champagne.
Jeff Buckley
There is no good singing, there is only present and absent.
Jeff Buckley
I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.
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
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.
