I discovered him 6 months ago, and I'm grateful too. You should listen to his son as well. His name is Jeff Buckley. He was, Jeff, as great as his father was.
Tim was a unique performer. He had his own style and voice. In the seventies I discovered his Greeting's from L.A. album. Loved it then and now. Every track on the album is fantastic.. Sefronia is good too with Peanut Man which is a stand out track for me.. Enjoy music history...
it really sucks when so much greatness and potential goes down the tubes..before it comes to its rightful peak. O love is perhaps the greatest emotion to experience and yet can bring you so much sadness in your lifetime. It does not'seem' right yet it happens much too often...
Great song! The last scene of the movie "Coming Home" features this song. What a GREAT ending to a powerful movie. I always wondered if the song was written for the movie or if it was added because it fit perfectly.
The Vietnam War is clearly the backdrop for this song. I eventually got drafted, got Medic Training, but eventually was forced to refuse to wear my uniform to protest the clear wrongness of this war. Being charged with a Court Martial with a prison sentence hanging in the balance straightened my spine, strengthened my determination. I still have no regrets for what I did.
I understood why Jeff was a bit edgy when being compared to his father, through his looks and music. I mean, being told he's only good because of his father is ridiculous. Though they resemble each other uncannily. They both can project raw emotion. Musically though, barring the incredible vocal ranges they can both achieve (Jeff's being in the higher range, Tim's deeper) their music shares little similarities in my personal opinion. You can definitely tell they are Father & Son though.
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.
.. and others, brothers .. Tim's brothers .. were dropping like flies in 'nam .. as a songwriter, a sensitive soul, he was reflecting upon this tragedy ..
When we can forgive our fathers we will are truly free. I pray that my children can forgive me... Tim was a genius child. His music crossed a few genres. He helped me make sense of the 60s which was a time of rapid crazy change. Today is even crazier and now he seems prophetic. His songs still resonate like melancholy bells in the distance, clear and rolling through the hills...
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"
Hello John would you remember Brian Hartzler who played guitar with Tim in the early years? We taught at Gene Leis studio in Manhattan Beach around 1970-1. Brian was an eccentric brilliant soul who later taught classical guitar began composing operas and disappeared from public life. I have a bunch of his compositions on hand. thanks cliff woolley in tokyo
I got exposed to Tim back in the late 70's...I was in my 20's when I first related to his music & lyrics.... & now I relate in the late 2000's...he is timeless to those who know him.
He and Jeff have such a profoundly similar speaking voice. It's wild how strong of a role genetics plays in things like that. I always assumed you adopt your speaking style more-so based on the people you grow up around. But now I see it isn't true necessarily at all.
I was blessed to be able to see him as the opening act for Judy Collins at the Lincoln Center in NYC mid 1960's. I also remember walking into a small church in the East Village and in the center of that sacred site stood Joan Baez and Country Joe McDonald singing anti Nam songs. That was how I acquired my spirituality.
Yes, that was incredible wasn't it. I already knew the song well but its appearance in that film was the most poignant moment in a film of unbearable poignancy throughout.
My number was 22 in the draft in 1968. I had already lost my best friend there. Him and I tried to join the service to learn a trade. They took him and not me. He was picked off by a sniper while driving a grader. His father who was all over the Pacific in WWII and didn't want him to go, went crazy. I fought against the war after that. This song was played in the movie, Coming Home. while Marine Bruce Dern, walked to his death at home into the ocean, after Jane Fonda cheated on him......
I spent almost 30 years trying to figure out who sung that wonderful song at the end of Coming Home (the credits were small, and the movie itself has been out-of-print for years). You have no idea how ecstatic I was when I found it.
I was 20 When I firstly knew about this song and very strange it is that this live was on my day of birth but in 1968. Like he was giving me a birthday gift without even knowing who I am.
One true Folk singer that I Spent much of my ten-age years listening to , As I bought the venyl album at the age of 16 i KGS Lyngby in Denmark ! I offer my very thoughts and Love to Elisabeth Bennison who passed away at a very young age after I came home after 2 trips to Afganistan in 1971 and 72. Tim Buckley has a fantastic Voice and the album Goodby and Hallo is the best of all. fantastic mellan kolik lyrics and very good songs- that has also discribed a lot af my owne Loneley life, working on the road as sound engineer for different bands through out my carrere in 70-80-90 as sound engineer in Europe ! I still Love Tim Buckley and the sadnes and combined love that´s in his music, Lyrics that has been a great deal of my life, I just heard the album today after not giving it a thought for more than 40 years , I have had a tough life, wiitnessed many death and suicides in my life, and once I have got over a sadnes It hits me again I dont know why I have to get into so much sadnes but it has been my destiny and I tend to still feel that greif and hardbroken inside my heart , nearly every day ! Good Bless all these people ! May Good be with Tim Buckley too to Eternety ! Hitfather Denmark

I was fortunate to be able to talk my parents into letting me go on a road trip to NYC with 2 buddies to see Tim at the Cafe au Go Go during Thanksgiving 1968. I was a junior in prep school. The group Clear Light opened + then Tim put on one marvelous show. So freakin cool.
He's pretty good and whatever....but he abandoned his son, so i dislike him, similar to lennon singing all his love bullshit and then going home and choking fuck out of yoko....
It is even worse than that. Lennon wrote and cried about his father abandoning him while simultaneously having little contact with his own son. I am a fan of Lennon, Tim & Jeff Buckley
michaelterry1000 Do you not sympathise that maybe John knew no better? He was a tortured man, probably along with Tim, which is why they have the power to convey such intense emotion.
from this video i have learnt that i had never really HEARD this song till i heard it live... what a wonderful soul... may he rest in peace. his songs and his voice has effected my life so much, and for that i am eternally grateful.
+jerrypl I prefer Jeffs! To me its more of a wider range in vocals! Im not even going by ..I dont care for Tims music...The man can sing his butt off, He was very much underrated back in his day!
If you think Jeff's music has a wider range of vocals you can't have listened to much of Tim's music. Tim Buckley might be the single most versatile and wide-ranged vocalist in the history of rock music. As +Franz Farmer suggested, see _Lorca_ and _Starsailor_ (the albums).
Oh please, jeff buckley sucks. He's just another shitty musician from the 90's. Like radiohead, soundgarden and all that crap. Now, Tim buckley, his dad, was a true rock and roll LEGEND. No comparision at all.
The truth of the matter is that I was there but that was a long time ago. My memory about what exactly happened on a given date in the summer of 1968 is not that exact. I did say “I’m pretty sure” . A lot of things have happen since then. Some one pointed out a site with like 25 minutes of recordings of Tim that day. Don’t malign people you don’t know.
No, and to all who say Tim was like Jeff, Jeff, as the son, was, in ways, like his dad. But I knew Tim from "The Village Days," and when I hear him sing "will you ever remember me," I break down and cry. Till the day I die, I will never forget him. barbaralinn
this album blew us all away the first time we heard it. i saw tim buckley at the night owl cafe when he was playing locally before "goodbye hello" came out (?). he was so beautiful and so gifted. i remember playing this one endlessly when he ODed. "....remember me". we do....
@SEEVIEGEENIE Same here!!! i was watching that movie in class today and i thought this song was awesome, so i wrote down a line from it and found it. Great song.
Beautiful. All the live stuff got taken off UA-cam a couple of years back (I know because I posted one) then surprise, surprise a few weeks later a dvd was released containing all the live tracks. Luckily I saw him twice live, superb.
I saw Tim in 68 at the Festival Hall in London where he was the support for the Incredible String Band. I hadn't heard him before but was very impressed and had Goodbye and Hello (vinyl) for many years and now have the CD.
This song was one of the many great songs in "Coming Home"- the first movie that addressed what Vietnam did to young boys. This song played at the end when Bruce Dern stripped and dove in the Pacific Ocean after returning home from Vietnam. The ending was left to the viewer. Great movie!
I thought I just posted a comment. Perhaps it goes through some process before posted. I do not know how to post a video response from the videos here. (I am old), but do search for the same tune by Jeff. It is recording from Tim's memorial which was the first time so many saw Jeff, let alone heard him. I'd only read about this - and can't believe I've found recording...
Thank you. I like that your words are "just listen". And for the folk who come to hear this because of Jeff Buckley and the fact that he did this at Tim's memorial, I would add "just look". Thanks again and I will respond with the audio of Jeff singing. I assume you are familiar with the importance of this event. Peace.
51 years passed, and I just discovered this artist. I'm greatful I won't die without knowing his music.
Im 38 and i was just introduced 💜
I discovered him 6 months ago, and I'm grateful too. You should listen to his son as well. His name is Jeff Buckley. He was, Jeff, as great as his father was.
Tim was a unique performer. He had his own style and voice. In the seventies I discovered his Greeting's from L.A. album. Loved it then and now. Every track on the album is fantastic.. Sefronia is good too with Peanut Man which is a stand out track for me.. Enjoy music history...
his son Jeff Buckley is also an amazing performer just in case
I know that feeling
it really sucks when so much greatness and potential goes down the tubes..before
it comes to its rightful peak. O love is perhaps the greatest emotion to experience and yet can bring you so much
sadness in your lifetime. It does not'seem'
right yet it happens much too often...
Great song! The last scene of the movie "Coming Home" features this song. What a GREAT ending to a powerful movie. I always wondered if the song was written for the movie or if it was added because it fit perfectly.
The movie came out in 1978, several years after Tim died. Besides, I somehow cannot imagine him writing for movies.
Read Underwood guitarist who played with Tim Buckley wrote the synopsis for my book of poetry and song lyrics composed
not really
The Vietnam War is clearly the backdrop for this song. I eventually got drafted, got Medic Training, but eventually was forced to refuse to wear my uniform to protest the clear wrongness of this war. Being charged with a Court Martial with a prison sentence hanging in the balance straightened my spine, strengthened my determination. I still have no regrets for what I did.
I understood why Jeff was a bit edgy when being compared to his father, through his looks and music. I mean, being told he's only good because of his father is ridiculous. Though they resemble each other uncannily.
They both can project raw emotion.
Musically though, barring the incredible vocal ranges they can both achieve (Jeff's being in the higher range, Tim's deeper) their music shares little similarities in my personal opinion. You can definitely tell they are Father & Son though.
Imagine
if they didnt die
they would sing duets
@@karelschut but who knows really maybe Jeff wouldn't have been the Jeff he was though..
Perfectly stated!
I think Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was a big part of the difference.
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.
He was just 21 in 68. Amazing pure force of nature.
Hell yeah
.. and others, brothers .. Tim's brothers .. were dropping like flies in 'nam .. as a songwriter, a sensitive soul, he was reflecting upon this tragedy ..
When we can forgive our fathers we will are truly free. I pray that my children can forgive me...
Tim was a genius child. His music crossed a few genres. He helped me make sense of the 60s which was a time of rapid crazy change. Today is even crazier and now he seems prophetic. His songs still resonate like melancholy bells in the distance, clear and rolling through the hills...
This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever written. He was a really beautiful person.
Tim was a friend of mine back int the '60's from the Mecca, Mon Ami/Paradox days.

Thanks for sharing that man..
John Besharian please give me your e mail... i am a fan of tim from italy. I want to know more about him.
Thanks for the story this man was amazing and so is Jeff
What incredible voice...and what beautiful song ! Great live ..from Italy
This version is just... magic...This 1968 live recording is really wonderful and should have been published as an album at the time...
It's still timeless, after all these years. Still sounds as fresh as it did 45 years ago.
This is one of Tim Buckley very best songs, and this is a really great and moving version of it. Heaven!
It's crazy how tim and jeff did similar things musically
Tim can never be forgotten.
This one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard! My brother had his album and I would always play this song.
I got exposed to Tim back in the late 70's...I was in my 20's when I first related to his music & lyrics.... & now I relate in the late 2000's...he is timeless to those who know him.
I was turned on to Tim by a HS classmate, Paul Wood... thanks Paul. I have listened to Tim every year since... over 50 of them. RIP
He and Jeff have such a profoundly similar speaking voice. It's wild how strong of a role genetics plays in things like that. I always assumed you adopt your speaking style more-so based on the people you grow up around. But now I see it isn't true necessarily at all.
On 11/11 stand up at 1100 for all who gave their lives and minds in Vietnam...give them the 2 minutes silence...it’s the very least you can do.
Tim, you are remembered like no other. No need to wonder...
A beautiful majestic song.
I was blessed to be able to see him as the opening act for Judy Collins at the Lincoln Center in NYC mid 1960's. I also remember
walking into a small church in the East Village and in the center of that sacred site stood Joan Baez and Country Joe McDonald singing
anti Nam songs. That was how I acquired my spirituality.
Tim had one slightly crooked tooth, Jeff had like 2 or 3 and they also have a very similar way of speaking!
The dream letter live album,with the man himself Danny Thompson on bass.
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.
Yes, that was incredible wasn't it. I already knew the song well but its appearance in that film was the most poignant moment in a film of unbearable poignancy throughout.
My number was 22 in the draft in 1968. I had already lost my best friend there. Him and I tried to join the service to learn a trade. They took him and not me.

This song was played in the movie, Coming Home. while Marine Bruce Dern, walked to his death at home into the ocean, after Jane Fonda cheated on him......
I always wondered about that scene...did he walk into the ocean because it was the final straw for him?
A blindingly evocative end to the most brilliant film (1978) 'Coming Home'
I spent almost 30 years trying to figure out who sung that wonderful song at the end of Coming Home (the credits were small, and the movie itself has been out-of-print for years). You have no idea how ecstatic I was when I found it.
@@douglaslangdon9343 So glad!
here because of that too. i love hal ashby
This makes me so emotional
I was 20 When I firstly knew about this song and very strange it is that this live was on my day of birth but in 1968. Like he was giving me a birthday gift without even knowing who I am.

jeff and tim ,, has different music and voice , i prefer jeff but tim is great too ..
his lyrics were phenomenal.
Beautiful haunting song. Brings back so many memories. I agree, so sad he was gone at such a young age.

He's pretty good and whatever....but he abandoned his son, so i dislike him, similar to lennon singing all his love bullshit and then going home and choking fuck out of yoko....

lift us up, Tim
his voice omg ... perfect
from this video i have learnt that i had never really HEARD this song till i heard it live...
what a wonderful soul... may he rest in peace. his songs and his voice has effected my life so much, and for that i am eternally grateful.
The greatest voice ever!!!!!
"I searched behind your eyes for you"
He is even better when he sings live....
ESSa música sempre me faz chorar ,linda,linda!!!
I much prefer Tim's music to Jeff's.
William Nemecek Yes, for me it's obvious that Tim's music is much better. Tough Jeff is not bad as well.
+jerrypl I prefer Jeffs! To me its more of a wider range in vocals! Im not even going by ..I dont care for Tims music...The man can sing his butt off, He was very much underrated back in his day!

Oh please, jeff buckley sucks. He's just another shitty musician from the 90's. Like radiohead, soundgarden and all that crap. Now, Tim buckley, his dad, was a true rock and roll LEGEND. No comparision at all.
@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?
I think Bob Dylan and Tim Buckley are one of the best poets in musical life, which have ever lived!R.I.P Tim!
Eras angelical, Tim... Así como Jeff... Increíbles, ambos.
The truth of the matter is that I was there but that was a long time ago. My memory about what exactly happened on a given date in the summer of 1968 is not that exact. I did say “I’m pretty sure” .

Truth hurts. It hurt me, because I love Buckley's music. The friend who introduced me to Tim Buckley became a junkie and died young - that hurt more.
The great Tim Buckley.
ฉันไม่มีทางเลือกอื่นฉันเอาราชินีขาวลงข้างล่างให้ได้แม่อย่างนั้นรัฐบาลรัสเซียเขาจะไม่ยอมฉันขอชีวิตเขาเขาให้แต่เขาไม่ได้หยุดปฏิบัติการคนเรามันระวังตัวกันทุกวันไม่ได้แค่อาหารยาพิษร่มของใช้ทุกอย่างมันถ้าคุณตายได้ทั้งนั้น
I will always remember you.
How anyone could dislike this is beyond me. Tim Buckley's music is so beautiful.
Google Monkees Tim Buckley,.. may your amazement begin....
The introduction when Tim is talking - now I know where Jeremy Davies got the mannerisms for the character Faraday on Lost!
This was taken from the Dream Letter Concert in London. The whole show is stunning!
Saw him on a mixed bill at Fillmore East. We bought all his albums. Now they belong to my son who loves and will share Tim’s music.
this album blew us all away the first time we heard it. i saw tim buckley at the night owl cafe when he was playing locally before "goodbye hello" came out (?). he was so beautiful and so gifted. i remember playing this one endlessly when he ODed. "....remember me". we do....
Great. One of the most talented artists ever.
The Father of the Legend called Jeff Buckley. Like Father like Son, so adorable to know and sad too. both are in my heart forever with their music
Oh Danny Thompson. Just don’t play if you don’t know the song. Bass ruins this version.
@SEEVIEGEENIE Same here!!! i was watching that movie in class today and i thought this song was awesome, so i wrote down a line from it and found it. Great song.
Beautiful. All the live stuff got taken off UA-cam a couple of years back (I know because I posted one) then surprise, surprise a few weeks later a dvd was released containing all the live tracks.
Luckily I saw him twice live, superb.
amazing performance. Is this from the live album dream letter?
I remember this as the final song in the movie Coming Home
Phenomenal sound track and movie
I was there... thanks for "sharing"
so beautiful! One of the best artists in the poparea.
Great song... but this version is not his best effort.
I like the studio version best.
✌
I'm with you. That was one of my first Tim records, after hearing great covers of his work in the 80s. Nobody like him!
no.. THis song was composed by Tim.. LArry Beckett wrote alot for Tim (like Song to the Siren) but this was purely Tim.
chills
ohh and also: am i the only one who almost dies at the "sands" part? That melody moves me in such a way
Happy 64th Birthday in heaven, Tim... R.I.P.
Tim was truly wonderful. Sad that he died so young. Malcolm
I have only recently gotten into Jeff, and have long loved Tim. Yes, such losses--brilliant the both of them.
he had a brilliant voice..........but i think Jeff was better
out of all his experimentation those are eternal gems
Nothing. It is splendid. Peace to you--Tim was so good, beyond words, really.
I like the editting of this video
damn jeff is so much like his dad like its weird
I saw Tim in 68 at the Festival Hall in London where he was the support for the Incredible String Band. I hadn't heard him before but was very impressed and had Goodbye and Hello (vinyl) for many years and now have the CD.
This song was one of the many great songs in "Coming Home"- the first movie that addressed what Vietnam did to young boys. This song played at the end when Bruce Dern stripped and dove in the Pacific Ocean after returning home from Vietnam. The ending was left to the viewer. Great movie!
BELLISIMO!
very similar characteristics, but Jeff is better
I thought I just posted a comment. Perhaps it goes through some process before posted. I do not know how to post a video response from the videos here. (I am old), but do search for the same tune by Jeff. It is recording from Tim's memorial which was the first time so many saw Jeff, let alone heard him. I'd only read about this - and can't believe I've found recording...
Fabulous. One of my all-time favourite songs. Regarding the end credits, wasn’t there an electric guitar too?
If you saw "Coming Home," you can't forget this song.
They are so different from each other that can't be compared!
But Jeff... knew how to express emotions that get into the skin! Jeff was truly amazing!
Antonella Ingrassia id say they were different but also very similar if you pay attention
Tim was folky Jeff was more modern and more alternative but they did very similar things with their voices
Thank you. I like that your words are "just listen". And for the folk who come to hear this because of Jeff Buckley and the fact that he did this at Tim's memorial, I would add "just look". Thanks again and I will respond with the audio of Jeff singing. I assume you are familiar with the importance of this event. Peace.
A real talent gone too soon.
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.
