i was so excited to read this as a jeff buckley fan and you did not disappoint! i found the connections you made between jeff and the story of icarus and jeff and medieval elegies so interesting.
Oh my gosh I LOVE this, more ways to appreciate this incredible artist. I'd love to read more of this type of analysis, and I'm curious if you've come across the music of Aldous Harding - I think there's a lot of parallels between her music and Jeff Buckley's, particularly in the gender transcendent, poetic nature of her songs.
I love this! It is so beautifully written. I love the part about the "irony of the effort that goes into the presentation of masculine ease". Jeff Buckley's music is so genuine that any a**hole who attempts to imitate it will fail <3. "My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder" will always be a fav of mine!!
