Tim Buckley - Love From Room 109 At The Islander

[JDLowFreq]

I bought this album ('Happy Sad') in 1969 or 1970. I forgot how good this particular song was. Beautiful Music!

[BlackSabbathory]

One of my favorite songs of all time

Tim Buckley was more wise at 22 than most are at 92...(at least about everything but drugs)

A little known story about this song according to producer Jerry Yester is that the "oceanic" effects weren't supposed to be on this track but the engineer Bruce Botnick forgot to turn on a noise reduction switch which layered the song with a "hum". So the only way to salvage the take was to add the waves recorded from Tim's home on the beach.

I can't help but wonder what incredible things he might have done...

I wish more people knew the joys of Tim Buckley.. just amazing

@outshyned65

Buckley was and still is a demi-god. Impossible emotion and spiritual expression. Pain, beauty, and rapture...

[BlackSabbathory]

@padleynj Amazing comment.

I have to say that his voice was his instrument. His later albums explored this, and in his later concerts with only a stand up bass and acoustic guitar, he truly used it.

[BJORT]

The Bass. It's ALL about the bass in this song, "Ashbury Park" and in the rest of Tim's music. The background music, is always the most haunting in his.

[dreambrother80]

the intro (which is partially cut off here) and the first section of this composition has to be one of the most hauntingly pretty pieces of music that has ever been recorded...sounds like a man that had found temporary solace, but deep down was down and out...equally tragic and beautiful

[chibinski]
