Tim Buckley - Strange Street Affair Under Blue

At last I met Tim Buckley. I don’t know how could I live my (watch away) 35 (watch here again) years without listening to his music. I had heard of him but I don’t know why, i believed, in this order: he was a contemporary musician, still alive, brother of Jeff Buckley and using such a name to get easy success. This was the tale i was telling myself the rare times i stumbled upon this name, and never once listened to his music. Not that is easy to stumble into his music, as i got the idea he’s highly underrated (only 15,295 fans on facebook! how can it be?!) and unknown. I can’t understand why he’s dead, also. how can it be? so unfair. i want to go to a concert of him!!! so, i discovered him, fell in love with him his music and now i’m obsessed with a bunch of his songs, i can’t stop to play them. it was hard to choose which one to put here, i couldn’t possibly decide the one i loved most. i tried to find some live, but videos of him are rare, so i decided to go for the less known song: the one nobody had made a cover of (another mystery for me).

but i’ll pick up more and post them in the future because he deserves it.

And now be good, go, read everything about him and listen to his fantastic music! :)

PS. this song is pure awesomeness, it is so much fun! each time it finishes i can’t stop myself from saying aloud So cool! (in italian, it’s obvious! that is ‘fichissima!’)
