This is one of those songs that stopped me dead in my tracks the first time I heard it. I was in a music store in Houston (probably summer of '69) and they were playing it. I don't think I took a breath until it was over, then went up and asked who it was. At the time I had almost no money and nothing on which to play a record, but I bought it anyhow. The man was a genius. Sad loss.

I mean the contrast between listening to a song like this and then being instantly bombarded with a casino commercial just boggles my mind...

Tim Buckley was one of the most underrated singer ... just a great and pure artist .

Im so much in love with Buckley family.

I first heard 'Morning Glory' when I was 11 years old back in 1967. After I heard it the first time I always listened to it alone because it just made me cry for the loneliness that it sent into me. Boys couldn't be seen crying so I listened in my room, alone. Today was the first time that I got to hear it in about forty-five years and all of the loneliness came back and after listening to it seven times, I am completely drained from crying. Such a mournful tune, such a voice singing it. When the time comes and I listen to it along with the Tom Waits songs 'Pony' and 'Georgia Lee', I will be a wreck Drained for days, I imagine.

Amazing how people listen to this music through the years. When they were recording a video for this song there was completely no Internet around. Now it's already 2016 and it's here on KZfaq and lots of people enjoy it. Tim would be happy.

Fuck the addiction issues, he was never a serious user. But he was a fragile and a poet and an incredibly good musician

Homeless people can be difficult, but man it must be hard for them. Thank you, Tim Buckley, for helping us to reflect and be introspective about those of us who, for whatever reason, must be without a home, sometimes for the rest of their lives.

I almost can't breathe during this performance.

"Sabes que te voy a amar siempre".

A genius! The man's music is timeless!!

One of the most beautiful songs ever written? Without a doubt.

The part of Tim I still love after all these years is the Irish Minstrel inside him. and he was so excruciatingly beautiful!

A dreamer stuck at a rest stop in Utah with this song on repeat. God speed all you restless dreamers

As a kid growing up I was struck by his amazing voice and the images his songs painted , I still feel the same way !

This is the most mysterious song ever written

40 years ago today, we lost one of the greatest vocalists in the history of music. RIP Tim Buckley.

I'm 68 and all my life I have lived with this gift to us. A very rare and special gift Tim was for us.

Tim left us his beautiful music and his gifted son, my life would not be the same without both their music! I saw Jeff Buckley play live in 1996 in Sydney and it was the most powerful performance I have ever seen. He held the crowd in a trance for the whole concert. Now father & son are together at last sadly....

i feel i must thank jeff buckley.amazing and all is he was.only for him i may never have discovered tim.i really cannot describe how much i love this mans music.so heartfelt and so pure.after so many years who compares?

How can 15 people dislike this?! It is so beautiful. They must be devoid of any soul!

Tim. God like genius with the voice of a weary angel🙏😍😍

Nothing as fantastic as this music will ever come again

Very calming. Love that chime in there, lightens it up.

I'm only 23 but this is my jam. Been exploring a lot of great music over the past 4-5 years. I've listened to hip hop almost exclusively my whole life but I have broadened my horizons so damn much. I'm proud of myself.

Stunning, one of those songs that takes you to another place.

Music has some great singers and performers. But for a lot of then you don't believe what they are singing or saying. With Tim Buckley you knew he meant it. His voice is straight from the heart.

This is absolutely breath-taking. The beauty of this song brought tears to my eyes :'(

"We live, as we dream -- alone." J. Condrad

Tim had such an incredible voice and a great song writer.

I saw Tim Buckley summer 1974 at the Summerfestival in Holland; very nice performance.

He's the only artist I mourn the passing of, because he didn't leave a huge legacy, like Prince for instance. I only discovered Tim on a radio station in Johannesburg, late eighties, with Sweet Surrender. Bought the LP the same week. Nowadays I swoon via Spotify and sometimes here, and then I cry when I see his beautiful face. Love ya, Timmy!

I can't imagine how it feels like to outlive your own father, and yet its even more cruel how Jeff was taken away so soon.

All of Tim's music was written from the bottom of his heart not from the top of his head like most modern music. Tim really wasn't fussed for money or fame all he wanted to do was to portray his thoughts and feelings through his beautiful music. Most modern ''musicians/artists''(if they can be called that) write material to make money and fame not to educate like Tim's music. Tim buckley died too young as like many great and overlooked musicians and artists.

This guy's music is a treasure. There's something about his voice that's hypnotic.

This Father-Son duo is one of the greatest, sad they left too early ! :(

One of the few musicians who feel their music! RIP!

I DONT HAVE WORDS.

he is so great! Today, 40 years ago, this fantastic and extremely handsome Artist died on the age of 28. I think of him!

Tim was a friend of mine back int the '60's from the Mecca, Mon Ami/Paradox days. He and I used to sit in my apartment, or in the Orange Julius down below it (at the intersection of Lemon & Chapman in Fullerton, Ca.) and talk and play by the hour. This album (one of only a dozen vinyl one's I've ever bought in my life), is a total mischaracterization of Timmy's true talents as a musician and his song writing abilities. Let's call it the "Hollywoodification" of him back then. (Over produced and under represented.) We met at, and were a part of, the music conflabulation of about 40 or so musicians who were inspired and misunderstood by Hollywood, but not the owner, Dick Stout, who use to open one or the other of his clubs on a "Dark (closed) Night" to let us poor fledglings learn our craft , Dick, the owner of two clubs, the Mecca in Buena Park and the Mon Ami in Tustin, Ca., which became the Paradox when he sold it later on. The new owners continued the tradition started by Dick at the behest of both Denny Brooks (Of the New Christy Minstrels) and Jose Feliciano. That little fledgling group spawned so many influential musical "Offshoots" during that time that it's almost impossible to count them all.Those days, best encapsulated as "These Days", because Jack was as an integral part of them and a friend of Tim as well as the rest of us as John McEwen, or Jim Fielder, Penny Nichols, Steve Noonan, Mary McCaslin, Jim fielder, &, or etc. It was truly a "Magic time' musically. (Bye the by, the original album had his right eye covered by a "Pepsi" bottle cap. When did they withdraw their sponsorship"

Precious man,love u Tim!!

I actually was fortunate enough to talk with the guy who wrote the song mostly, Larry Beckett, he and I talked about the song after I asked for his take on it and he challenged my thought perception of the song in a good way, as to help me to understand the psyche of it. I don’t remember everything he said about it but I wish I could; maybe it’s the mushrooms overpowering my brain right now. I was touched just to speak to such a beautiful complex mind, and was grateful to get to talk to him. Larry knows he is a very smart man as well; but he is giving and wants to help enlighten others. He invited me to come see him in San Francisco… how I would of loved to go there but I don’t have the means. I can’t get to San Francisco it’s just too high a climb.

he does that quite a bit, I love it. He sometimes adds or takes out words to make the song flow smoother.

What a beautiful song. Thank you John Besharian for sharing your story about the time you spent with Tim. I live in OC where Tim lived and his son Jeff was born. This weekend I'm going to drive thru the streets of OC to feel their spirit and to say a little prayer for them. By the way, Happy 50th. Birthday Jeff. Nov. 17th. 2016.

You can see where Jeff got his talent and voice from... Great song.

These artists will live on...I was 16 listening to the new Tim Buckley album...I remember. With KZfaq I can share this poetry with my kids...My 13 yr old is playing Leonard Cohen...past on the music and maybe there is a chance for the future. You are not not forgot

I first saw Tim in the summer of 1969 at a marvelous outdoor festival not far from Seattle. I was 17. His emotional phrasing and soulfulness just blew me away, and I became a lifelong fan. I was distraught when I heard of his untimely death. But I still play his records, in those special moments, as when I am driving through a forest or along the ocean.

Tim was a life line on my palm that ended abruptly. How I wish we still had him here✌️💜

I lit my purest candle close to my Window, hoping it would catch the eye Of any vagabond who passed it by, And I waited in my fleeting house Before he came I felt him drawing near; As he neared I felt the ancient fear That he had come to wound my door and jeer, And I waited in my fleeting house "Tell me stories, " I called to the Hobo; "Stories of cold, " I smiled at the Hobo; "Stories of old, " I knelt to the Hobo; And he stood before my fleeting house "No, " said the Hobo, "No more tales of time; Don't ask me now to wash away the grime; I can't come in 'cause it's too high a climb, " And he walked away from my fleeting house "Then you be damned!" I screamed to the Hobo; "Leave me alone, " I wept to the Hobo; "Turn into stone, " I knelt to the Hobo; And he walked away from my fleeting house

So long gone an still sorely missed ,Uploader we salute you!

Beautiful lyrics & haunting melodies make Tim Buckley a truly unique musician & wonderful guitarist. He left us much too soon…Peace

I've known about this song for years through This Mortal Coil. Had heard other versions too & always thought it an odd tune. This week I walked a mentally ill friend of many years to a homeless shelter and through the intake process. I now know what this song is about.

My first exposure to this song was on the first Blood Sweat & Tears album. I really like both versions.

Sublime. Tim always made music that (I for one), couldn't just put on the turntable and leave. He manages to draw me in every time, every song, well, every word. An incredible talent, that heart wrenching voice never fails to blow me away. RIP Tim.

beautiful voice, beautiful boy

Marvelous. Because there are no more. He had one of the strongest voices I've ever heard. He covered a number of styles in a remarkably short period of time.

I am facinated by the song and especally in awe of the photography considering the time peaiod. That just too Good X 2 !

first time listening to Tim...been a Jeff fan for years. Very nice...completely different. I think its amazing that Jeff sounds nothing like him and has such a completely different musicality.

One of the best memories of the WOR-FM years in New York. This got played a lot (and BS&T listened).

He was an angel

this has got to be one of my favorite songs ever. no joke.

Tim Buckley was always someone i never set the bar for. He was always someone i was satisfied with, just as they were. He was always and still is someone i can come across any day, and know he's with me, speaking to me just for me. i don't know why i feel the way i do about Tim. as if he was always crashing at my place and milling around in a mindless mood, but i didn't mind how he acted. i just knew he wanted my attention and appreciation, and it satisfied me to be just that for him.

this song makes me remind the good times of my childhood when i awoke and i saw my grandma in her home drinking coffe and my grandpa going to work in the fields... really i was a lucky man to live those things so simple and at the same time, so beatiful and lovely. great music great singer. kisses from Brazil.

Tim is one of the reasons I think my generation were blessed. There was so much talent in the sixties, it was possible some people missed Tim. I'm glad I discovered him and bathed in his beauty, and continue to. Good to know his spirit continues to inspire.

So beautiful oh I miss him

Father and son the perfect's artist. ...⭐⭐⭐💕

Danny Thompson on bass is a pleasant surprise, connecting my love for the music of Tim and all of Danny's work with Pentangle and beyond

Man this guy was great..... Thank you for some beautiful work Tim...

TWO ARTISTS...FATHER AND SON....GONE

Breathtaking

Fantastic!

I love this dear sweet soul. So grateful to have seen him in the early years.

Llegaste!

I've been listening to this song - On child is father to the man - BS&T since 1967 - So I enjoy this as well-

so, so beautiful

So wonderful, so vulnerable, so high above everything else. Always loved Tim Buckley.

Thanks for the positive words.

how he has always reached me and touched me ..i am mg...i am morning glory

So beautiful....known his music since I was an adolescent... still get tears in my eyes....

Beautiful i love this song

Too much beautiful!

Lucky you. We don't realize some people are only going to be here a little while. Buckley was great.

thanks! and nice to read so many still enjoy his music!

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful

I love the way he articulates... What a mouth. :)

this is so powerful, so beautiful

Still missin' him... he died way too young.

This song is an old friend and our friendship has been growing deeper, upward and outward for years; I feel so alive that this song is as fresh to me today because it is still unfolding. Feeling so thankful and lucky to savor the years of this unfolding. Thank you, this live version knocked me out.

He was not of this world. He returned in the place where he belongs.

my favorite Tim song EVER, its lush!

This lyrical narrative put's me in mind of Albert Camous' The Stranger, because of the stance of our incapacitated view of others through the trappings of materialism, even if not considered rich, just being better off and trying to reason with someone's disposition and the relationship between the two. Beautiful chord's from a legendary musician and such a unique stand point only he has achieved.

what a great program. the bbc has an incomparable archive and most of it has been lost, destroyed or taped over. it's lovely that we still have this, though.

beautiful song, great Tim, thank u

Wish there were more life recordings of this beautifull singer!

wow what a heart wrenching performance...absolute top shelf. incredible

What agreat pleasure to be taken to "that place" by singers and songs ie Mr buckley,glad i was born when i was,yes to our generation.

beauty, sheer beauty

beautiful

I've listened to this song for years never knowing Blood, Sweat & Tears were just covering it! thank you wumb.
