Buckley出生于美国南部加州 五岁那年，他发现了祖母的一把吉他就开始自学。 17岁时Buckley离家完成了中学学业就开始在Hollywood发展。他参加过一些摇滚和雷吉乐队，也散发了一些录音作品以挣些小钱。 1990年Buckley搬到了纽约，和当地一些乐队一起表演，随后就开始创造自己的作品。据Buckley自己说，纽约的Lower East Side比其它地方更让他感到自在，虽然根在加州，但他却在加州找不着自己的位置。 但谁也没想到，1997年春天时Buckley在孟菲斯灌录一张新专辑，在密西西比河中一次游泳时不幸溺亡。 Buckley的作品中最漂亮最有表达力的有三样东西：嗓音，吉他，歌词。很少摇滚男歌手有Buckley一样丝般滑流的嗓音。当他高声部的假音发挥时，你分明可以感到心中的那种刺痛感。Buckley的清吟浅唱却是无邪的，充份暴露他内心易受伤害的敏感。敏感不是怯懦，所以他可以大胆的在自我的感知世界里自由驰骋，接受神秘未知力量的诱惑，把内心的爱，纠突和疏离感直呈给他人。 Buckley的歌词精确的记录了许多精神河流的流淌状态，或静谧或湍急。闭上眼睛，让人不由地想起原本清澈的小溪，在月色朦胧下却发散着勾引的气息，你会极度的想要浮在水面，让躯体放松，而思绪却心甘情愿任他的嗓音指引，慢悠悠地晃出身躯，麻弊在空灵而恍惚的快感中。还有歌中的吉他，时而平稳时而狂暴，可是如果你能将Buckley的嗓音想成一件乐器，就会发现在歌声的中和下，两种极端出奇的和谐----平静中孕育着爆发，渲泄中预示着镇静。 Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah... Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah...
