you can hear Jeff, mostly before but also while he's singing, trying to stop himself from crying... heartbreaking and breathtaking interpretation

“Suddenly, before the last chorus, a string broke on his acoustic guitar, and Jeff sang the lines “Sometimes, I wonder for a while/Do you ever remember me?” unaccompanied. If that weren’t dramatic enough, his voice spiraled up on the last word-“me”-like a thin plume of smoke, holding on for a moment before drifting up to the ceiling. He took a quick bow, said “thanks,” and trotted offstage, and the concert ended. It would not have been a more perfect finale if he had planned it.” [“Dream Brother”, David Browne]

I've always wondered what would Tim have thought or felt about his son's voice as singing. After listened to this, I somehow feel like Tim was there that day in that church, summoned by Jeff’s presence. It's like they're talking to each other through it, Jeff making his peace with his father and Tim... accepting his son’s forgiveness, a son to whom he endowed so much of his inner self. The strings of the guitar breaking at the end tho, and Jeff’s solo voice that carries on the last few words of the lyrics, it gives me shivers every time, just like the touch of a ghost.

@@rayaqin Jeff truly loved playing cafes and small gigs, and did so under weird monikers even after he became famous so as to make the experience more organic. He expressed how much he missed the intimacy of small shows and just showing up and playing as just man, not a big name. He almost didn't play this show because he didn't want his namesake to be the "springboard for his career".
@Alexander-gj9ms5 жыл бұрын
@@rayaqin It means he gave up his privacy and allowed people to know that he was the son of Tim Buckley and to be compared to him and all that. He didn't really want to be all that famous or known as the son of Tim Buckley or be compared to him. So he sacrificed all of that so that people could remember and recognize his father's music and talents. If he kept quiet most of us might not have known about Tim Buckley. The sad part is the second half of that quote - I'm guessing his father left and abandoned him to pursue his music career.
