The Ghost Has No Home

Just like the ocean, always in love with the moon

11/29/93

Bloom inside, my beautiful flower If you feel your blood moving under your skin Then let it kiss every inch of you Let the friction of its rushing through your riverbed Arise like applause in your breast And sparkle like kisses upon your belly Close your eyes and fly Stretch your legs and sing Because inside you the sea is swelling in love with the moon No such things as self defense or bondage Or regret from the past, the ocean only lives and creates and flows But always in love with the moon

Speak out to me My beautiful sparrow In the morning you fly over a city Of lunatics walking in pain and waiting for betrayal All you know is the wind The rhythm of the fragrance of the world Only, you can sing me awake Sing it to me with the smell of your back Sing it to me with the heat of your lips Kiss me where you want and the song is all I can hear Inside you the sea is swelling over Spilling over my head And I stay submerged Waiting for your rose to open to me And your song to sink into my skin

Avant-garde singer and actress Rebecca Moore was Jeff's lover during the early 90s, and the inspiration for much of Grace. Her album Home Wreckordings includes the wistful Live in Blue Sparks: “all kinds miss Jeff....I'm not afraid, I walk with my little horned kids”. Stilletto'd Young Stars explores the pathos of love lost and the loneliness of art. “If the song was meant to be, it'll come again some day – like you.” https://web.archive.org/web/20230419220847/https://mojopin.org/pages/tribute_songs.php

Ironically, the singer on one of the This Mortal Coil covers, “Song to the Siren,” was none other than the Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser, with whom Jeff would later have a romantic relationship.

  • I only met Jeff a few times. He was introduced to us when he was just a young teenager having come to one of our shows at the Zenith in Paris. We were all thrilled to meet him. It was especially poignant I am sure for Elizabeth and Robin who had recorded that beautifully sparse and atmospheric version of his father’s ‘Song to the Siren’ for This Mortal Coil a few years prior.

1990

  • He was, by then, deep into British pop—not surprisingly, the sulkiest and most sensitive of it, bands like the Cocteau Twins, the Smiths, and the Cure.

“I’d love to sing with Jeff Buckley … He is currently making his first album, and if it’s anything like a radio session I heard by him, it should be amazing. He’s written this song called ‘Grace’, which literally makes the hair on my neck stand on end. I was sweating like a fucking June bride when I first heard him. Music has never done that to me before.” (Elizabeth Fraser) https://jeffbuckley.com/quotes

Chopin: Nocturne Op.55 No.2 in E-flat Major (Pogorelich)

“Chopin's most richly contrapuntal nocturne, played with some truly daring (but nevertheless persuasive) tempo fluctuations and surprising intimacy by Ivo Pogorelich.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTvfpwAGMHs
