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.

More quotes by 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.
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
I love anything that haunts me...and never leaves
Jeff Buckley
If you do anything regularly for a while, sooner or later the weirdoes will show up.
Jeff Buckley
love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Jeff Buckley
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
Jeff Buckley
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.
Jeff Buckley
Music is my mother and my father it is my work and my rest...my blood...my compass...my love.
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
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 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
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
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
I'm convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.
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
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
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run
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
I just want to have a completely adventurous, passionate, weird life.
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
