“There is only one kind of love, beyond space and time. All encounters on earth are images, they are colours of the one and invisible light. Love understood in a general sense, love in the whirlwind of temporality is earthy, it is Neptunic, the ocean is the cradle from which Aphrodite stands, from its abyss flows what in love is wave and rhythm, tension and mixture, that which is marvellous and fearful. On the seashore and on the rocks we perceive his anonymous fatal song, the deep voices of the sirens that emerging and diving attract us to lose ourselves in their sea. The attraction is irresistible"
- Ernst Jünger (Heliopolis)
This piece (featuring This Mortal Coil's Robin Guthrie and Elizabeth Frazer's 1984 cover), attempts to pay a special tribute to Tim Buckley, its original author, who died in 1975, aged 28, of an accidental heroin overdose, as well as to all musicians and creative souls who departed as a result of similar fate.
Sincerely,
What_If
