“Words are really beautiful, but they’re limited. Words are very male, very structured. But the voice is the netherworld, the darkness, where there’s nothing to hang onto. The voice comes from a part of you that just knows and expresses and is. I need to inhabit every bit of lyric, or else I can’t bring the song to you – or else it’s just words.” Words from the very talented Jeff Buckley himself from Interview magazine in 1994. This is a sensual and heartbreaking track in one song, encapsulating the longing for and loss of new love. We’ve all been there, but maybe we couldn’t summon the words and emotions to express it as well as the late Jeff Buckley could.
