One of my favorite sounds of all time is any live version of Jeff Buckley's vocal aerobatics leading into the opening of Mojo Pin.
I have always said that anyone who describes a concert as "spiritual" or "life-changing" or anything pretentious can gargle my balls, but fuck, I probably would've said the exact same thing after watching Jeff perform.
I've really come to love that song more, and the chocolate business always does me in haha, but I agree, it's been said about him so many times, but I can actually believe that one âșâ€âš
Another pearl. Thank yoy
You're welcome! đ
Precious, precious silver and gold, and pearls in oyster flesh, Drop down we two in praise of love. Born again in the rhythm, Screaming down from heaven. Ageless, ageless, I'm there in your arms now.
A song about nature's ability to renew everything. In praise of nature, you need no heroin, no magic mushroom, no Marlborough and no Mojo magazine to renew your appetite for life. Nature refills your cup. The song is biblical and runs through the fabric of all that is. Just like Dream Brother is THE great lament of thunder, lightning and storms.
Perfection was achieved and played live in the Golden Gate city. Nuff said.
Perfection indeed, and you certainly have a rather unique take on it!
oh ffs He is singing about SEX and remembers his pearls (semen) in her oyster flesh (I let you guess what this is)...dropping down (on the bed) the two of them are born again from the rhythm (of them orgasming), screaming down from heaven (as they climax), and he is in heaven in her arms (as he is remembering how it felt with her).
If that is what you mean by "biblical" in that he is describing "knowing" her in the biblical sense, then you'd be correct.
The fact that he is thinking of how much he is missing making love to her is why he needs the mojo pin (dropper of heroin)...to numb his feelings of longing for her, with the "warm blanket" heroin wraps him in as the "white horses flow" through his body. These are the memories that are firing in his mind, and he doesn't want to weep for her, so he wraps himself in the "warm blanket" of heroin.
@@le_th_ Wow, another very interesting take on it...I think he had multiple inspirations for the song, hence the different explanations, but it seems to me that it's a big, wonderful metaphor as love as a drug (especially if you've heard his intro to it from the Astoria), and the song, if it's a favorite of his, is just as addicting in its own way...đ
â@@le_th_ Did you comment and then delete your interpretation?
Yeah I am aware of the Heroin entendre' for 'Mojo Pin' and your interpretation is a nod to that. The sexual interpretation is fire too. Better still, the song just has many windows of interpretation because it is literally written like a velvet glove for many hands.
"Pearls in oyster flesh" is also a perfect metaphor for plucking a guitar to a divine tone, as playing the guitar involves plucking against the spectrum of sound available on the strings. Oysters are prized much like the music he draws from his spirit or the ether.
Jeff being "born again from the rhythm, screaming down from heaven" is an ode to his father. By tapping into the ether of pearls and producing divine music he is moving through the divine chords like Tim Buckley did, but in his own unique Jeff way.
"Ageless, ageless, I'm there in your arms now"; Jeff is enfolded by Tim as he produces his own phantasmagoria in two (Dream Brother/Mojo Pin). Their shared musical talent is ageless as it is bound by DNA, and Mojo Pin was produced from that ancestral embrace.
The beauty of the song is that it doesn't just interpret in many different folds, but those interpretations are clean and run through each line of the song. The motifs are perfectly stitched throughout each line that the finished product is like a pleasing byzantine carpet.
Your take on the whole love making aspect is pretty flawless. It's a truly great song.
Do you have a show or song that he played on November 18 of '94 by chance?
That was La Luna in Portland, but t unfortunately there's no boots of his Portland shows đđ
