Tim Buckley - Pleasant Street

[bleedinblues4me]

I had the priviledge to see Tim Buckley at the Troubadour, to this day he still has, in my opinion the greatest vocal range I have ever heard, be it: folk, rock, whatever, and no I don't think son Jeff had a better voice, or range(from the lows to the highs) or song writing ability than dad. both, howerer; were marked with tragic deaths, so long live the buckleys and the great gift of music that they left us. i think we can all agree with that.

[RedKhandro]

I was 18 when this was recorded, hardly anyone knew him then, I was completely thrilled and still am.

[Rockerepico]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)

[Raffaele6Barbaro]

Whoa! this song remembers me of Grace by his own son.

[tagaros]

@tarkovskychild omg how can you ever compare them people? Tim is many levels better than his son in any aspect!

[tarkovskychild]

@tagaros I didn't compare or said who's better. The sound of this song is similar to the song "Grace" that's it.

[MatheusBarradas1]

@tagaros i dont think so. his son was better than him in my opinion, his music was like an sculpted diamond

[ps34evah]

What is that in his right eye? I can't make out what it is.

[titcdrum]

@ps34evah coka cola bottle cap i think

[4711StGermain]

@ps34evah Actually...it's a rusty Pepsi bottle cap. I have the album in my closet....bought it when I was a kid. Dude was one of thew few originals in those days....this was his best album. Just my thinking...........

[Rich915]

A true troubador that had something to say & a voice to match....Gone way too young!

[mikeartworx]

[TheKhaibear]

What a beautiful human being. Tim was such an underrated god.

[MegaAndreNo]

Quel beau moment musical. Vraiment tout y est: mélodie, puissance, douceur, message.

[coyoteinmiami]

I first started listening to TIm Buckley in the early 70's. Saw him live at the Town and Country Lodge in Santa Cruz, Ca. Fell for him then and there. I am always moved when I hear him. I still love his voice.

[eletta88]

@coyoteinmiami omg, did u see him live??? lucky you

[GreekGeorge1]

Απλα υπεροχο κανονικη μουσικη για κανονικους ανθρωπους.....

[perretsas]

εξαιρετικό *****

[TheKhaibear]

One of te greastest songs about the trappings of addiction ever written. God I loved Tim so much. My parents introduced to him when I was about 7--right before he passed and I still listen to him all the time.

[TheKhaibear]

@TheKhaibear "the"

[uforica025]

Hallucinations is also a gorgeous track

[doncarlosgallagher]

Διαβάζω σχόλια από Έλληνες σ' αυτό το τραγούδι, είναι πολύ ευχάριστη είδηση. Άντε να επανέλθουμε στην πραγματική μουσική και να κάνουμε πέρα τις αηδίες...

[metalflower1]

πολυ ομορφο τραγουδι

[Ariadnimusiclover]

Mε αυτό το τραγούδι γνώρισα τον ΤIm Bucley και φυσικά μετά όλα του τα τραγούδια που αγάπησα...

[crudecod]

also check Pleasant Street by Geneva - it's excellent..

[uitblazenindepijp]

goosebumps when I hear Tim's voice - & still to this day! Like Roy Orbison & Elvis Presley he could hit every note -

[richvideo]

@uitblazenindepijp know what you mean

[fuzzymoon1900]

i got eargasm.

[mercanti22]

@fuzzymoon1900 I am very happy for you

[dirkbogarde44]

It's a strange world when something this fucking amazing gets just 50 thousand hits and so much dross is watched/listened to. Are we mad or is it just the rest of humanity ?

[fat8622]

Tim was, along with Don Van Vilet and Charles Mingus, the greatest artist who ever lived

[evad6832]

@fat8622 What about Zappa??! : )

[fat8622]

@evad6832 of course, how could I forget him

[TheCrawlfromdeath]

no comments for this song, just listen to it

[AntholKinsidiousFoul]

THE GREATEST SINGER, and one of the best lyricist to ever live period........

[warwil100]

Yes his voice is something special.

[Nepenth3]

best voice ever lived

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

[zbestwun2001]

[sciolist85]

S-H-O-C-K-I-N-G. it's a damn shame that still few people listen to this.

[BlackSabbathory]

@sciolist85 Well, makes it even better for those of us that do, I guess! :)

[sciolist85]

@BlackSabbathory you well guess, my friend.

[subatan]

Funny to see the mystical comments this music creates :-)

[folkmusicgirl]

I used to listen to this song over & over again on his Goodbye and Hello LP on my parent's high-fi system. I was 14 & just loved Tim Buckley (and Donovan) both with curly brown hair). To me, this album showed the hugh talent he had. I played this song so much, I would pick up the needle on the phonograph and just couldn't stop listening to this song after school. I wanted to meet Tim more then anything. I used to sing this song in my room a lot. Of all his albums this was my favourite.

[ceeveezet]

great song! Love it

[beezaxe]

This album is truly the odd one out, because the first album was mostly contemporary folkish shit, and the latter stuff of his career were more avant-garde. In terms of how assessable the albums are, this one is the most assessable. While I couldn't care less about his Funk Rock shit, everything before Greetings from L.A. is great. This one is my favourite, and this song is my favourite of all his catalogue.

[dancing0being]

Great album!

[61dodgelancer]

The beginning of this song reminds me of "MacArthur Park" - Richard Harris 1968 ; ^ D

[Alwaystuned]

Could addiction be described in more detail? Chilling!

[pesha7]

re release this classic - word...........

[giveitmeonce]

Has anyone heard the black eyed peas cover of this sic

[nick40nick40]

Didn't know!! Excellent music and lyrics!!

[Vitanova999]

J'aime tellement cette chanson. Elle me rappelle des soirées d'ivresse printanières sur Bordeaux. Comme c'est vieux ! Merci à toi de l'avoir postée. C'est un peu ma jouvence, il ne manque que le champagne !

[andreacosta2509]

Essa canção é uma porrada!!!!!!!!!Tim Buckley Demais!!!

[gerthie]

dynamite he out there

[mobyboy]

one of the top best songs ever made !

[termsofusepolice]

This guy's voice is beyond annoying and all his songs sound absolutely dated - like what someone might write if they were attempting to satarize 60's folk rock.

Jeff was light-years beyond his father as a singer and songwriter.

[BroScottsdale]

@termsofusepolice

I so disagree.

[hamishdawson]

@termsofusepolice You're in a minority of one there.

[GrievousAngel52]

@termsofusepolice My poor friend, oh it must be sad to be so alone ...

[dancing0being]

@termsofusepolice

Ha ha. You can call Beethoven, Miles Davis, Lady Gaga, Beyonce etc dated. You can call all music on earth dated anytime and you would be right and true.

Jeff Buckley...infinite yawns... Sad thing to make a smurf a music hero.

[termsofusepolice]

@dancing0being Nick Drake doesn't sound dated, but timeless. Tyrannosaurus Rex doesn't sound dated, but timeless. 20 years from now, Jeff Buckley's music will not sound dated, but timeless. Tim, on the other hand, never exceeded the boundaries of his late 60's/early 70's folkie box. I really wanted to like TB, but his hokey, folkie voice and music simply will not allow it.

[dancing0being]

@termsofusepolice

All artists sound dated in different situations and circumstances in life. Art is for living. Jeff is not bad but i wouldn't call him awesome like many people do. Just another good musician. Brainwashing is never good in any way.

[Afereth]

@termsofusepolice just shut up you faggot

[beezaxe]

@termsofusepolice Nothing is timeless, man. NOTHING. Even if something was, we certainly couldn't determine that now. Hell, it hasn't even been 100 years since the industry has existed, give it a rest with that "timeless" shit.

[oakham15675]

@termsofusepolice your annoying, your type of comments are dated and generic, no one cares what clever little criticisms you can make about music. you clearly have very little taste. Narrow minded little boy

[nicodagger]

I was also 15 when this came out, loved it, my friend Ken Tobin pointed out the line; "all the stony people walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes" as an amazing line...I was just starting to get high back then...this was a good time to start..

[nichelodeonband]

One of most beautiful melody ever wrote. This voice raped my soul a moment before my birth.

C.

[hamishdawson]

@nichelodeonband

Couldn't agree more. It's mystically brilliant touching the depths of the soul

[titusvideo]

thanks i love ypou

[TheDragline288]

I'm still waiting 40 years later. This is one of those timeless songs. Tim Buckley was from DC. I think

[xxxine2009]

I always thought Pleasant Street was the middle class way of life

[Behutet93]

This whole album gives me chills hearing it , just like Light My fire by the Doors. I was 15 when this came out. One of the best ever. Good memories.

[miktruk]

the bongo player sounds stoned, he almost spoils this

[Behutet93]

@miktruk, LMAO. I never noticed it. Good ear.

[WavyGravy22]

Thank you so much for reposting this! It's one of Tim's greatest songs, a real classic ;-)

[cezarlamaro]

whats Pleasant street?

[titonosfe]

It's a place of drug selling.

This is one of the first great songs speakin of drug abuse.

Tim sing it until his last days (ironically cause he dies of overdose)

[theblahman]

one of the best songs ever written- i love pleasant street, think il go back again

[tommyleah]

OH GOD THE CLIP IS BACK! Please, do not remove it again. I tried to get hold of this version on the internet after it was removed from here but I couldn't? Only a loooong and boring version on iTunes (at least the Swedish iTunes)

Thank you for reposting!

[mairianko]

τελειο!!

[EnHiver18]

Perfect!!!!!

He is absolutely amazing!!!
