“Life has its own rhythm and you cannot impose your own structure upon it, you have to listen to what it tells you... It’s not earth that you move with a tractor...life is not like that. Life is more like earth that you learn about and plant seeds in… It’s something you have to have a relationship with in order to experience...you can’t mold it, you can’t control it.” –Jeff Buckley

"jeff lived in this state of perpetually feeling he was unloved in the world, it didn’t matter how much you loved him or wether you fell in love with him or tried to love him." — merri cyr, jeff buckley’s friend and photographer.

"after he recorded his vocal on southern cross, i went into the little lounge in electric lady and he was laying on the couch with his face turned away, and i sat down with him and i realised, he was weeping." "i said, 'are you alright, what’s wrong?' and he said, 'i wish i was better.'" — patti smith.

Paul and Linda McCartney with Jeff Buckley after his show at the Roseland Ballroom in New York on June 2, 1995.

Photographer Merri Cyr talking about the meeting:

“Paul and Linda McCartney had come to see Jeff play that night and after the performance they came into the dressing room to meet him. I remember Linda McCartney saying that she had known his father Tim and had taken some photos of him – they seemed to be honoring Jeff, coming to see him backstage. When I look at that picture of Jeff I really get that he was trying to keep his cool, but his eyes are saying, ‘Can you believe it?!’ He was very excited.”

We would be somewhere in a room of people and he would look around till he caught my eye, to see that I was watching. He might smile and continue what he was doing. I don’t think it was vanity, I think he just liked feeling he was being looked after.
