today
marks the fourth anniversary of the jeff
buckley's drowning in the mississippi river,
memphis. the death of the man who changed music
for me. i'm celebrating by listening to nothing
but jeff.
its incredible how much this man has changed my
life without knowing me personally - even in
death. i've made friends i would never have
otherwise made because of him. i have met
boyfriends i would never have met because of him.
i've felt emotion i never thought i could feel
partially due to him. jeff's music opens wounds,
but it also heals them.
if i had the money, i would buy thousands of
copies of jeff buckley's grace album and
distribute them to random people. grace
changed my life, and i think others should be
given the opportunity to experience this as well.
no one should go though life having never heard
jeff. i feel sorry for those who don't 'get' his
music. i guess a person with so much emotion can
make some people uncomfortable. others just hear
a guy with a 'woman's voice.' you can't force a
person to understand.
the biggest regret of my life so far is that i
never did get to see jeff buckley perform live.
he was the ultimate live performer. he gave
everything. didn't hold anything back. the
intensity of his live shows was known to make
many people break down in tears. he seemed to
know exactly what you were thinking and feeling,
and possessed the perfect words and perfect voice
to bring this to life. the voice of an angel.
RIP
jeff
it's
never over
my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
it's never over
all my riches for her smiles when i slept so
soft against her
it's never over
all my blood for the sweetness of her
laughter
it's never over
she is the tear that hangs inside my soul
forever
-jeff
