I was captured by music at a really early age. I was really captured by it. Everything about it. It was my motherโฆ It was my fatherโฆ It was my play thing. It was my toy. It was the best thing in my life.
Jeff BuckleyMusic was like my first real toy. I was an only child for a while, and I was alone a lot of the time - and I liked it. I still like being alone.
Jeff BuckleyTo 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 BuckleyI think I would really lay down and die. Music comes from a very primal, twisted place. When a person sings, their body, their mouth, their eyes, their words, their voice says all these unspeakable things that you really can't explain but that mean something anyway. People are completely transformed when they sing; people look like that when they sing or when they make love. But it's a weird thingโat the end of the night I feel strange, because I feel I've told everybody all my secrets.
