Was hypnotized by a strange delight, under a lilac tree

"yousoldtheworld":http://mog.com/yousoldtheworld has a "post":http://mog.com/yousoldtheworld/blog_post/79001 of the utmost importance to me on this day, the 29th May. It's my Mum's birthday - this makes the 29th a happy day in my life. It's the anniversary of the loss of Jeff Buckley - this makes the 29th a _*heartsmashingbreakingintoabloodypulpymess*_ day as well. It's a day I feel most at odds with myself & my emotions. In all seriousness - There is one artist that stands alone far outshining all other artists in my ever-growing collection. An artist, who, with *_ONE_* record, forever changed how I love music - how music hits me to the core, how I take it in with all 5 senses.I've posted this song before - but on this day, moreso than any other, the words ring most sad & most hauntingly true. I wish you everpeaceful rest, but with a little rock thrown in for good measure, my friend.To his mother, Mary Guibert - I am *EVER SORRY* for your troubles. May you find even an ounce of solace in his music & how it will forever touch countless lives in ways too grand for words.

  1. Dale says Hmm, today's a good day for a touch of melancholy on the MOG. I had forgotten that today is the anniversary of Jeff Buckley's passing. Chin up, doll, we still have the music whereby we may remember.
