I’m gonna guess that a lot of you are familiar with Jeff Buckley and his music career. If not, please check him out. He only has one complete album, and it’s sad that we lost him so soon, but his music is transcendent. His dad, however, is not as well known.

My favorite album of Tim Buckley’s is Goodbye and Hello, and “Pleasant Street” is one of the few songs from this album that I feel is overlooked, much like Tim Buckley himself. It’s sad that such an artist is not better known, and it would be very unfortunate if his music were forgotten. If you like this one I would also check out "Hallucinations", "Phantasmagoria in Two" and "Goodbye and Hello".

If you knew of him beforehand, please share your favorite song of his.

I don’t see many people talk about “Marlene” by Jackson C. Frank, but it’s one of the saddest songs I’ve heard and I think it deserves more attention.

There’s a kind of sadness in it that doesn’t feel dramatic or forced. It feels quiet, personal, and worn down, like someone trying to sing through something they never really recovered from. Although to truly understands its essience you need to know his and the songs backstory.

I wish more people knew this song. Has anyone else here listened to “Marlene”? I’d love to hear what it means to you.
