His voice, these words, are for you.

I N TRODUCTIO N

In these accelerated days of video blogs, tweeting, and other social media communiqus, the image
is impossibly quaint. Hunkered down in a caf or on a bus or plane, a young man pulls a spiral
bound notebook from his bag and begins scribbling whatever thoughts come to mind. Out pour lists
of chores, ideas for poems or love letters, silly doodles, or keen observations of his surroundings.
When its time to move on, he stuffs the pad back into his bag, where it will be retrieved another
day for further jottings.

Befitting someone who unfortunately didnt live to see the twenty-first century, Jeff Buckley
was one of those diarists. During the last decade of his life, he would routinely grab whatever was

songwriter Tim Buckley, Jeff came of age in and around Orange County, California. His bond with
music was apparent practically from birth (he could sing songs in key at the age of two). By high
school he was already a proficient guitarist. After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles, attending
a music school; afterward, in search of his musical identity, he played reggae, jazz fusion, and other
genres. (To eschew comparisons with his musician father, he initially avoided singing and focused
on his guitar.) After appearing at a tribute concert to Tim Buckley in New York in 1991, he was
