Blue Melody


Well I was born a blue melody
A little song my mama sang to me
It was a blue melody
Such a blue
Youve never seen

There aint no wealth
That can buy my pride
There aint no pain
That can cleanse my soul
No just a blue melody
Sailing far away from me

One summer mornin
I was raised
But I dont know
One summer morning
I was left
But I dont know
One summer morning
So all alone

Late in evning
Ill sing in your dreaming
Down from the mountain
Along with the breezes
So close inside
Love grew smiles

So if you hear that blue melody
Wont you please send it home to me
Its just my
Blue melody
Callin far away to me...

It is shocking how much Jeff looked like his father. Sort of ironic, though. Anyway, great musician! One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard (Jeff's my favourite, btw).

One of the best live performers ever. The studio stuff is incredible, but the live versions are usually always better. Such a fantastic artist, and an unbelievable singer.

Tim seemed so uncomfortable in his skin, except when he was playing music. Then he would just transcendent and soar over everyone and everything and fly straight into people's hearts. I hope his soul is in a beautiful peaceful place now. <3 Tim

@rafaelladc Aaargh coming here to comment on his son. Just go away! Tim Buckley was a truly unique artist, with a voice completely out of this world. Show the man some respect. As much as I love Jeff, these comments don't really belong here.

@primusvix like son.

[VegaVelecka]

it is also amazing how well ahead of his time he was. The way he walked, played, behaved, such dignity and calm. What an incredible person!

[BarbLaSingla]

His voice touched, touches und will touch my soul. There are a lot of great voices, but Tim Buckley remains one of the best, so does his son.

I have to say that I listened to Buckley when I was a very young person...long before most of you were born...and I don't know what official website existed in 1975 when he died.I was born in 1953....and had every album when he died. Did any of you have him as a contemporary music influence? Very nice to look back into a past that you did not even exist in, but you don't really have a clue of what it meant in, say, 1970.He was unique, innovative and passionate.

Thank you. Loved the man.
