Hi! I Saw You Posting About Jeff Buckley, Could You Tell Me Anything About Him? Do You Have Any Recommendations
hi! i saw you posting about jeff buckley, could you tell me anything about him? do you have any recommendations for his music, albums, songs, etc?
-your secret santa [❤️]
Yes, of course! I'm so glad you asked about him!
Honestly, I could tell you his whole life story but I don't want to answer this question in a novel, lol! In short, he was a singer from the 90s and honestly can sing and genre, he had one of the most beautiful male voices ever, I think. His dad, Tim Buckley was actually a folk singer himself, but Jeff never knew him since he died when he was only eight. But he got the musical gene, and he got berry popular for a while when he released his first album, Grace. Although, he tragically died from an accidental drowning in the Mississippi river in 1997 when he was only 30 years old, during the time he was working on an unreleased second album, Sketches for My Sweetheart, the Drunk.
For studio album recommendations, I can really only suggest Grace and Sweetheart the Drunk, since they were the only releases he was able to finish when he was alive. Although, he released many live albums that are incredible and he plays a lot of different stuff during thoes. For live albums, me favorite are Live at Sin-é and Mystery White Boy. You can also check out So Real: Songs from Jeff Buckley and You and I.
As far as songs, his most popular is probably his cover of Hallelujah. But I would suggest: Lover You Should Have Come Over, I Know It's Over, Corpus Christi Charol, So Real, Opened Once, Forget Her, Everybody Here Wants You, Eternal Life, You & I, Grace, Nightmares by the Sea, Mojo Pin, Lilac Wine and his cover of Mama You've Been on My Mind and I Shall Be Released by Bob Dylan.
I'm sorry this was so long, as you can tell, I really love Jeff Buckley 😅❤️

You don’t get to choose Your old man fixations.. one day you’re living and the next ur possessed and insane forever
47? (for the music ask thingy)
Usually yes, but I guess it would depend on the reason for why I wouldn't like the musicians anymore. Like, I would still like the music if I didn't agree with some random opinion they had or something but then there are band members who commit actual crimes and stuff that I would never support. So for me, it depends on the context.
Joan Baez and then girlfriend, Kim, 1962
And no, I don’t just mean a girl she was friends with. Joan and Kim were in a relationship for a year and a half.
It is so funny to me that Bob was trying to end his shit by drowning himself in that bathtub and Robbie had to keep saving him over and over while The Beatles were in the other room just like “^_^ I can’t wait to hang out with Bob Dylan weeee”
it’s funny to me how the john lennon girls have always been the “crazy” beatles fans… that girl who wrote him a letter saying that she’d never love another man and that he is a greek god? i saw this and thought damn she’s crazy (same). that other fan who literally ate the grass john walked on? that’s fucked up. same though. it seems like john has always attracted the mentally unstable people and it never changed <3
At first I didn't even know it was Elton since he wasn't wearing his glasses
It’s somehow more jarring to see Elton in black than Johnny in pink.
So I ended up watching a Hard Days Night, Nowhere Boy (which I've already seen) and Backbeat all in the same day since I went full Beatles binge mode yesterday and it was amazing! Needless to say, John is rotting my brain, as he should. I'll post my thoughts on a Hard Day's Night in the next post!
hi!
happy holidays, what is your favourite holiday & why? do you have any special memories associated with that holiday?
-your secret santa [❤️]
Hi!
My favorite holiday is Christmas! I love it because I'm able to see a lot of my family that I don't usually get to see a lot. I also love the great food and just the general cozy vibe of Christmas. I don't really have any specific special memories. I'm sure this Christmas will have a lot of special memories for me, since it's in our new house and we are hosting for the first time, for family who are coming out of state. It's great since we have never been able to celebrate Christmas with them yet.
