His speaking voice is just as beautiful as his singing voice, and his view of drugs is so insightful

[@cookedmutton]

I wish I could understand how he thought. In all these interviews it’s like I can see the connections and color behind his words and into his mind. The way he has to almost dumb down the way he says things so people could understand them. His life being cut so short is something I’ll never get over.

[@inessofia7577]

One of my favorite videos of him. You can really see his true character here, and he clearly wasn't afraid of talking about drugs, or anything... He said some particular deep things in this... "It wins and you lose. (...) The emptiness sometimes is bigger than you, but you have to be stronger than your emptiness, drugs just unlock on you what you have already...". Not only was he a gifted musician but had such charisma, sense of humour, and a genuine down-to-earth attitude as well that is inspiring and rare. When I have kids, I'll show them his music for sure, and maybe later on I'll show them this footage. Jeff, you are my favorite musician and I wish you hadn't died so soon, you clearly had much more to give.

[@MojoPin1983]

What the world needs now is Buck, sweet Buck.

[@youknowimcute21]

I think it’s more about the direction he would have taken music and the fact that people can say a lot of things about how music is ultimately influenced or even pushed off on others, but it’s very deeply understood that the impact that Jeff Buckley has had on us and the impression that he left in our hearts is sooooo deep and soooooo hungered for that we go back to these moments just to remember to not forget his soul and his connection to humanity. It seems so strange the direction music has been taken and there is absolutely nothing organic about it anymore and I think that the story the life of Jeff was a very overlooked for a long time in America. It’s sad that the legend of him has only crept up on many all of these years later. I just wanted to voice my input in the conversation. Thank you for allowing me to share.

[@loicb.2071]

[@MojoPin1983]

@sinisterwolf1985 God is not at fault for Jeff using his free will in a way that showed poor judgement. Someone once said: “God gives you the most sacred gift of the prerogative of choice, but He doesn’t give you the privilege of determining a different outcome to what that choice will entail; the consequences are bound to the choice.”

[@avalondreaming1433]

Jeff was an angel. It would have been a crime for him to grow old. He's like a James Dean or a Marilyn. And anyway, only the good die young.

[@Dusankk]

What he says is so unbelievably true. It looks like Jeff knew so much, he was too conscious and held the truth in his heart that life on earth become unbearable for him. It did so much up to a point that this world had nothing better to offer and his further existence would turn into triviality so he just passed into some other, some next dimension and I hope a dimension that would have suited him better. He has the same sadness in the deep looks of his as his father Tim. And I think that he had it even more....

[@kath09is]

beautifully put, and what i always attributed his death to be, a release from the confines of this sorrowful existence

[@Gramsgirl-ie8fb]

He had a wisdom within him that far advanced his age that’s for sure. He is just a breath away from us, just the other side of the veil. I was a fan in the nineties. Then life took over, I have revisited his beautiful music several times throughout the years, usually when I am struggling with something. His music brings me peace and I am forever grateful that we had him here at all, although of course it should have been for a much longer time, much longer xx
