| | Dream Brother Lyrics Artist(Band):Jeff Buckley
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind That dark angel he is shuffling in Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled The love you lost with her skin so fair Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair Her green eyes blew goodbyes With her head in her hands and your kiss on the lips of another Dream Brother, with your tears scattered round the world. Don't be like the one who made me so old Don't be like the one who left behind his name 'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine And nobody ever came... I feel afraid and I call your name I love your voice and your dance insane I hear your words and I know your pain Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another Your eyes to the ground and the world spinning round forever Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...

Review about Dream Brother What I Think | Reviewer: Buckley Fanatic | 10/6/09 I wrote alot but bear with me.I heard that Jeff Buckley had a friend who was a musician. And he was having a bad marriage life. The guy wanted to leave his family behind. Im guesshng Jeff made this song to make the guy understand the error of his ways. But deep down Jeff saw a similarty in this situation to his life. Jeff Buckleys father Tim Buckley was also a musician.In 1966 at just age 19 he married, had a child (Jef Buckley), and released his 1st self titled debut album Tim Buckley. Tims music life affected his marriage which lead to a divorce. Tim left his child behind, to pursue his tragic dream of bieng a renowed musician. He created a barrage of great albums but they were all shunned for its experimentations. Tim would later marry another woman, but he felt devastated for the absence of his child. Tim clearly adresses this in his song Dream Letter. Pherhaps he adopted his second wifes child to ease his mind about it. Since the day he left them, Tim Buckley would only manage to see his 8 year old son only once in his life. The struggkes of success got to Tim and hed enter a world of drugs. Tim would quit but one 1979 night after a sold out concert, Tim would go to friends in search of heroin. They didn't want Tim to take drugs but they gave it to him anyways. Tim took a heavy dose and fell into an immediate coma. After quickly bieng transported to his wifes house, the little attempts to revive him failed. Paramedics announced dead on arrival. He was 28. Tim Buckley left his child, his love behind to create wonderful music.But all he did was alienate his fanbase and die in debt, that is very tragic. News of Tims death would arrive to a young Jeff Buckley who back then was known as Scott Moorhead. Jeff would not attend Tims funeral. After the funeral Scott Moorhead decided to officialy change his name to Jeff Buckley. Jeff would later grow up to be a musician like his father surpassing hm in fame. But alas that fame was shortlived. Jeff would drown in a freak accident. Hed barely outlived Tims death he war 30 years old. Getting on to point, Dream Brother [crazy resemblance to Dream Letter] was more directed to Tim Buckley and Jeffs pain. The musician was just an excuse to write this song. The term dream brother now an unknown phrase used to adress those who never had their mother/father in their life. (Note: There was also a small conspiracy to the line "asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over". some people thought this line meant something of death which lead some to believe the odd scenery it gives you resembles Jeffs mysterious death was probably suicide.) P.S.: If any one read this freaking long essay,....I say thank you for your time. Reminds me of... | Reviewer: Sergio Contreras | 9/25/09 I am not really into this guy, but recently my wife pushed his music on me and once i heard this song i made an instant connection to The Doors' The End song. really such a beautiful piece. Even though i could barely understand the lyrics i know it had to do with something deep and personal. I remember saying, "Cant understand what hes saying, but you know its something strange. Gotta love it." Well glad i finally looked up the lyrics. Adding as one of my all time favorites. on and on | Reviewer: ben | 9/1/09 thanks to my sister! I went to buy new David Gray's new release, but it was not out yet! then she introduced me to Jeff B.. Bought the cd without questioning! .. result? I've been listening dream brother ever since, on and on! incredible guitar and drums! I think there is something which reminds me Jim Morrison.. maybe in his emotional voice! but much more fine than him! Haven't listen Tim's music yet! what do you rekon? ciao from Italy It's a song he wrote for Chris Dowd | Reviewer: Wofats | 6/18/09 "Dream Brother" is Chris Dowd (Former member of Fishbone). Chris' marriage had come to a crash and Buckley is asking his friend to not end up doing to his children what his father did to him. (Not have much to do with their lives.) Jeff appears on Chris' album "The Seedy Arkistra". 'N stuff! Love the new Buckley live disc "Grace Around the World" that just came out. Dream Brother | Reviewer: Colourblind_Kurt | 5/26/09 I also think it's about lost love and with a message for his father too, and maybe saying "don't do what my father did"... Don't be like the one who made me so, don't be like the one who left behind his name... Or this is how I feel about it, sometimes we listen to music we can relate to, and we find our own meanings to them. That is why it touches us so deeply... especially with Jeff's voice, so filled with emotions (like he's playing on the strings of our soul, as a special someone told me once)... whatever, it's such a beautiful song... Thanks Yavin for introducing me to Jeff Buckley :p Perfection | Reviewer: Lee | 4/24/09 Without wanting to beat about the bush, I think this is the best song of all time. Every version. The album version for its haunting beauty, the olympia version for the rollercoaster voice style, the chicago one for the repeated "flying buckley" operatic notes, the sony one for the intro you never want to end. And the rest. Simply art. amazing however misinterpreted | Reviewer: Django | 4/25/09 I personally think the song is about abandoment. He is in love with someone that he knows is going to leave him, "The love you lost with her skin so fair...and your kiss on the lips of another" and he's asking her not to in the chorous saying everyone else has left me dont be like all the rest of them. In the end he's lost his love and wants to die because of it, "Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over" His father | Reviewer: Sebastiaan | 4/1/09 I think this song is about his father: "Don't be like the one who left behind his name" "'Cause they're waiting for you, like I've waited for mine" (but nobody ever came) It's so emotional, it's a great song. ethereal plane | Reviewer: kennundrum | 12/11/08 This song - hell, the entire album - has an energy and spirituality about it that one seldom encounters in music. I wanted to tear my eyelids out when I heard about his death (that's about the best way I can describe it-so senseless). On the bright side, though, Jeff died without having to burden us with human failings such as writer's block, sophomore slump (Sketches for my Sweetheart.... seemed destined for that), and the like. I think that's part of the haunting beauty of this set of tunes. Magical | Reviewer: Moonfant | 1/29/08 This is an amazing song, I love it so much.. Jeff's voice is amazing. Thanks to my father who introduced me to Jeff Buckley, I will never ever stop admiring his music.
