I wasn't familiar with Tim Buckley or the song, but it piqued my interest enough to do a bit of research and I like the clips I listened to. I ordered a CD by him and one by his son, Jeff Buckley. It's so ironic that both died far too young and within a couple of years of being the same age at the time of death (Tim: 28, Jeff: 30). I also ordered a book about their lives - it sounded interesting and it seems, though not very intertwined, their lives had a lot of parallels beyond their young deaths.

Thanks for introducing me to something new (to me)!
