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 BuckleyI want to be ripped apart by music. I want it to be something that feeds and replenishes, or that totally sucks the life out of you. I want to be dashed against the rocks.
Jeff BuckleyWe are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain.
Jeff BuckleyThe only goal is in the process. The process is the thingโฆwith little flashes of light here and there. Those are the gigs, those are the live shows. But it's the life in betweenโthat's all I got.
Jeff Buckley[What I want to communicate] doesn't have a language with which I can communicate it. The things that I want to communicate are simply self-evident, emotional things. And the gifts of those things are that they bring both intellectual and emotional gifts - understanding. But I don't really have a major message that I want to bring to the world through my music. 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.
