  • In the summer of 68, I drove my beat up 59 Chevy Impala to the Newport Folk Festival with my friend Warren, saw Tim perform. This was and still is my favorite and I’m pretty sure it sung it for us. I can still see Tim on the stage in my minds eye. May you both rest in peace Warren and Tim.

  • I don't believe for a moment that Jeff was an imatator of his Father. Rather they were both born with a gift to sing from the soul.

  • @Schlachthof5 its ok - at least you experienced the whole thing!! wish i could have seen him play... the full performance of the show (audio only) can be found at wolfgangsvault (dot com), just go there and search his name!! peace

  • @NLFilms It was a long time ago. Honestly I could be wrong about the song. Is there a recording of his performance at Newport some where?

  • @Schlachthof5 but he didnt sing this song in the 1968 newport performance

  • @BlackSabbathory It's a pretty confusing feeling. nevertheless a great chord progression. real sentimental.

  • @umraan It happens to a lot of musicians, I'm sure. 

  • i thought i was so clever when i came up with the first two chords to this song when i was like 15. then a little while later i heard this and felt like an idiot.

  • Trying to recall the similarity of the first 4-5 bars of the guitar, maybe to a Beatle song, deeply caught my attention at the age of 12 or so. My oldest brother brought it home and played it. Can't recall exactly, but I think someone borrowed it, and I never heard it again. Then Buckley was 'gone.'

    I was an immediate fan of his son, but he too was gone, before I could really get to know his music.

    Such a loss.

  • Brilliant, check out the video clip to this song in "letters from Nam" moving. Really moves you.

  • He was so amazingly talented and sexy... he was perfect! :/

  • The lyrics of this wonderful song describe what my fondest wish is when there is no light and there is just the dark, me and my tears.
