The people who raised me musically are my mother, who is a classically trained pianist, and my stepfather.
Jeff BuckleyI'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.
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.
