Tim Buckley: Album by Album, note for note appreciation

Discussion in 'Music Corner' started by lemonade kid, Oct 20, 2020.

  1. I have the Tim Buckley Peel Sessions EP, I think he does a couple of songs from Hello and Goodbye on there, much more stripped back. As for this album, I can't remember whether this was the first or second one I heard by him. I do think it's a little dated, but mostly in a good way. The title track is the one let down for me, very baroque, over baroque!, and I think Tim's lyrics might get a bit out of hand on that one !
    Otherwise this is an excellent album with some transcendent/iconic songs.

    re the 1st album. I don't think anyone has mentioned the "LSD" you can see on Tim's jacket...
    was it coincidence. If you dont know about this, look at your cover i've gone over in orange

    I suspected so, as the UNIPAK design emerged as I recall about the time of 1968's "Waiting For The Sun", and Springfield's "Last Time Around". I do prefer my UNIPAK cover.

    track 1) No Man Can Find The War (Buckley/Beckett)

    One of the best war protest songs of 1967. Hear live versons next...




    Photographs of guns and flame
    Scarlet skull and distant game
    Bayonet and jungle grin
    Nightmares dreamed by bleeding men
    Lookouts tremble on the shore
    But no man can find the war

    Tape recorders echo scream
    Orders fly like bullet stream
    Drums and cannons laugh aloud
    Whistles come from ashen shroud
    Leaders damn the world and roar
    But no man can find the war

    Is the war across the sea?
    Is the war behind the sky?
    Have you each and all gone blind:
    Is the war inside your mind?

    Humans weep at human death
    All the talkers lose their breath
    Movies paint a chaos tale
    Singers see and poets wail
    All the world kows the score
    But no man can find the war

    PM me...


    I have a German CD from 1989 that says nothing about the mix, but sounds mono and is stunning audio.

    Rhino Handmade issued a deluxe version of the first album in 2011. It contained both mono and stereo mixes plus a second disc with 22 unreleased demos.

    It is a bit heavy handed with the rather cumbersome lyrics by Beckett. Still, it is a timeless anti war statement.
