I heard there was a secret chord

I'd like to proclaim today as Jeff Buckley obsession day.

After hearing an absolutely appalling rendition - some might call it murder - of 'Hallelujah' last night by an amateur singer, I dug out 'Grace' when I got home and listened to it for the first time in ages.

Such an amazing album. Still makes me think of the first boy I was in love with.

And Hallelujah - when sung properly - still makes me cry [or get that almost-crying feeling] every time I hear it.

[check out this website about Buckley and watch the documentary the BBC made a few years back, it's pretty interesting]

Coming soon: Patrick Wolf obsession day. Which I seem to have at least once every three or four weeks.
