Just a token of my admiration....how insignificant I may be, in a sea of millions who think, "if ONLY we'd met!!" Yep, everybody here wants you, but really--you & I are kindred spirits. You gave me hope in music--my lifeline--when it was all just crap. Now everyone wants to BE you. An infinity of tears for the loss of you and now my wonderful, sweet, perfect dad. He, too, was awed by your majestic voice, and on the night of his passing, I played your music to express things that my family & I just couldn't. I truly hope you are able to come together somehow to share your extraordinarily beautiful souls. So much Love and reverence, -Beth

Jeff, Thank you for everything. You have given me so much. Your music speaks to my soul and I will never got tired of listening to it. You have haunted me in the best way possible, with your music. In giving me and all of us the gift of your music, this is the least I can do to remember the man I can not forget, who haunts my in the best way possible, with his music. I love you, Jeff! ~Martina

"I bought the cd "Grace" about two weeks ago and was totally blown away. I really only bought the album because of Jeff Buckley's mention in the movie "Vanilla Sky." Since I really appreciated that movie, and have watched it about ten times, I bought "Grace" and can honestly say that I don't know if I have a cd that I like better -- and I must have 200 cds. What a tragedy to the world. Such a passionate voice and great lyrics. My only regret is that I only found out about him a few weeks ago. But, I have told at least 10 or 20 people about his music and I will open up some others." ~ CFWilzn

"The first time I heard Jeff I was so impressed I immediately became a fan. I never delved to look deeper then his music to find out who he was. I remember the devastation of hearing of his passing. I so wanted to at least shake the hand of the man who had given me such a glimpse of beauty in his words. But till this day his music is always on the top of my list. Sometimes I leave it be for a few weeks and then rediscover him. I know that to some Jeff is just another musical prodigy, but to me he is the soul's muse. About a little over a year ago I got into a terrible car accident. I should've died. Ironically I told my friend (before we left to go out) that when I died I wanted "Satisfied Mind" played at my funeral. It embodied how I felt I'd feel once I passed away. I know, it's not exactly a sunny thought, but it's so poignant a song to me that it's something we should all hear and reflect on. So when we got struck, I on the passenger side in the front, I thought of the irony. Luckily I'm still hear to appreciate Jeff's music, his message, and his dream. God Bless Jeff for being the muse to so many souls." ~Adam Olivo

"5 years on.. the music has not changed.. it has only become more concentrated.. more beautiful. The memory does not fade.. it only keeps getting bigger and more vivid. 29th May.. a reminder to all that there was once a man who lived amongst us... in flesh.. who brought back to music what it was missing.. colours, light, darkness, love, fear, vulnerability, aggression... and that music stays here.. and is held onto by me.. and all those who refuse to let the memory die.

(Listed below are messages from some of those who lit a candle above)
"He had a voice like no one else, his music is wonderfull... I can't put it in to words... My highest dream is to meet him... To hear him sing... Why...why you?! Why couldn't God let you live and take someone else? I think I know the answer to that... He wanted to have his angel for himself! So right now you're sitting up there in heaven, and singin' with him... If everyone would be like you, we'd had a wounderfull world to live in, Jeff! I will always love you, Jeff! You gave me more to live for, more than you'll ever know... Thank you for everything! R.I.P. my friend..." ~Erica
"Almost six years on, and the world still mourns the loss of Jeff. On that day in 1997, God reclaimed his angel leaving us all asking why? In his short time with us, he blessed us all and touched many lives with his music... he recreated music... he WAS music... and every time I think of Jeff I find comfort in the lyrics of satisfied mind, ironically fitting...
"but one thing's for certain, when it comes my time I'll leave this world with a satisfied mind"
I know that Jeff is happy wherever he is now, and I am grateful for all the beauty we were blessed with. Rest in peace, Jeff." ~Firebug

Hi, my name is Annabel. I'm 16 years old and I live in Virginia. Jeff has influenced my life in so many ways. I am diagnosed with depression and social anxiety disorder. By listening to his music, Jeff has inspired to me to live life and chase after my dreams. He has also inspired me artistically, I've been writing songs and painting pictures I never knew I could. Thank you Jeff, where ever you are for using your immense talent to make my life and the lives of other so much better.
I am a shadow follower
Weeping watery tears
Sweet sonic necromancer
You made Narcissus look up...
The stream means nothing
Your voice besot the Siren so
That she kissed your breath away
Beneath the moonlit waves
Until there was nothing left Nothing...
Nothing but glittering shards of songs
Whispered into my heart
To keep me entranced forever.
A poem for Jeff by ~Pale Severina
"These past few months have been hard for me, at some point I got lost with myself and I didn't know what to cling to and I had lost all hope. But the one thing that I could hold on to and give me comfort was Jeff's music. He may be gone but his music is the gift that will forever give people the courage to live, love and have hope. " ~ Julie Ann Sanchez
Jeff Buckley wrote some of the most cathartic lyrics, guitar riffs, and songs of all time. His beautiful and influential compositions have a profound meaning and as a result will forever be remembered. My life has been greatly enhanced by Jeff Buckley -- It's amazing how close one can feel to someone even after being introduced to them postmortem.Albeit your life ceased early, your art will live on for eternityR.I.P. Jeff~ Kyle Abell
Words can't express how much your music and message means to me. Growing up is hard, but your presence in my life has made it bearable, and I turn to you for inspiration and spirtuality whenever I feel I'm being compromised. Thank you for teaching me to "feel no shame for what you are," and comforting me through hard times with your beautiful voice. You are the bravest person I've ever known (and I truly feel like I've known you)
Rest in peace, you will forever be remembered.
Love,
Vicky, New York
