(Monkees TV Show 1968)
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me ?
Were you hare when I was fox ?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing
'Touch me not, touch me not
Come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow'
I am puzzled as the oyster
I am troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid your breakers ?
Or should I lie with death my bride ?
Hear me sing
'Swim to me, swim to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you'

This is still the most stunningly unadorned and beautiful version of his song. Mortal Coil's cover was a more layered yet brilliant extension of Tim's magic. This is not just a song. It is a spell. One that is embedded in deep mythos. And like many songs that seem to stick with us, it is bittersweet, haunting...and timeless.

It's obvious that Jeff and Tim had different styles, but Jeff definitely had a large influence from his father lol, the vocal acrobatics, vibrato, and most significantly like what you mentioned, of not having a traditional verse, bridge, al coda, etc. Jeff in an interview admitted he tried to approach his music like so, to make it different than the common music one would hear

@robertorick6383 7 месяцев назад

Rather it was Micky Dolenz who introduced Tim Buckley to TV screens everywhere on that final episode of "The Monkees". Davy Jones got Charlie Smalls on the show and Mike Nesmith was responsible for getting Frank Zappa to perform a 5-minute skit on the episode "The Monkees Blow Their Minds". The Monkees were tired of the same old plotlines they were doing since September 1966, and wanted to do something different by inviting these performers they admired.

@imogenlenore 4 месяца назад

@@robertorick6383 Apparently the four of them, if Season 3 was made, wanted to turn into more of a music/variety show.

Jeff had good recognition thru his era, although he was in a grunge era with other big heads at the time like Cobain Cornell or Staley, with Tim I guess the change or music path that he does in Hello/Goodbye, Happy Sad and Greetings from LA made that few people stay in a certain line, maybe he had a better recognition that his contemporary Jackson C Frank, he became more aware for the public eye for his song Carnival in the movie Joker, and Tim has a bigger identification that Jackson for example...

@@moonchildtheking5008 I love love LOVE Jeff, but I also agree with you. Jeff was more of a immensely gifted mimic. He could sing just like Nina Simone, or Ella Fitzgerald, or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, but Tim sang like Tim, like nobody else, and nobody else has sounded anything like him since.

@johnarundell7951 9 лет назад

Susan Carroll Yes indeed. Very hard to believe that this was written by 20 year olds. How is that possible? The great thing about this recording is it was the very first performance ever in public. Tim was a natural. So was Jeff of course :) amazing musical abilities and emotional sensibilities, to say nothing of their holy voices. If only Jeff had fathered a child. Maybe a hitherto unknown one will pop up fully formed in a few years like Jeff did.

Amen to that...though Jeff's music was too anguished for me.

This piece was done at the end of one of The Monkees episodes. That was Mickey Dolenz introducing him. Sometimes at the end of their show they had time left over and would run outtakes. Sometimes they would have time for music from some other artist. I remember seeing this when it aired.

It's ironic to learn that this wonderful track has got 7 million viewings, yet poor Tim struggled throughout his extraordinary career to make ends meet. Tim Buckley was a class act. From 1967-72, he didn't put a foot wrong.

@12inchvertical 9 лет назад

Tim didn't like performing on tv. He was generally rude to the people who hosted the shows, and wasn't invited back. He had a stubborn, uncompromising personality, like a lot of very talented people, which made his life hard but his music timeless, and like a lot of those people he was gone before people realized how good he was.

@ladyblackstardust390 9 лет назад

12inchvertical I would clarify stubbornness and being uncompromising is not a characteristic of people because or related to being talented. His father was unstable, angry and occasionally violently as a result of a head wound he suffered in WWI, which would have affected Jeff. Jeff suffered from addiction, which eventually, tragically killed him. I am moved by his music, the timbre of his voice is truly remarkable. Thank you 12, I didn't know that about him.

@alanahhannah 9 лет назад

Dusty Rhodes You do mean Tim, don't you? not Jeff! Jeff didn't die from addiction, he accidentily drowned,

@johnarundell7951 9 лет назад

12inchvertical Tim was absolutely not "generally rude to the people who hosted the shows" :/ sorry. The rest of your comment is spot on, however. Uncompromising is the key character trait in play here, inevitably resulting in not suffering fools gladly or at all. This is presumably what you meant.

@peterzang 9 лет назад

John Arundell Agreed. He was on Steve Allen and other shows. He didn't pussyfoot, but he was a charming guy, with a real vision. And a huge musical gift. I'm sorry about Jeff, but his vocals always seemed too overblown for my taste. Tim was the one. And....he got away.

@aliciamcmillan441 9 лет назад

+Peter Gerstenzang You think Jeff' vocials were over blown??? I disagree completely Jeff's voice was pure angelic. Jeff's vocial range was incredable. I do love Tim's voice and his writing, beautiful in everyway. I never heard of either one of them, until the Movie came out. Glad I saw the movie and it led me to father and son's music. Maybe it's Jeff came from a different generation of music, so I do get it.

This man is easily one of the most underrated artists’ of all time. Tim Buckley’s voice is totally unmatched. Jeff, obviously, was fantastic in his own way, but there’s a certain warmth and control in Tim’s voice that makes it stand out so much. He was an outstanding artist.
