Ever had that isolated moment that leaps out at you from the normal stream of existence because it's so perfectly crystalized? That's the feeling I get from this song and the repeated phrase "so real." Buckley always seems like he's on something of a different plane, but isolated moments bring him into sharp contact with the world around him. Love -- the kind of really connecting, belonging-to-another-soul love -- was, I think, kind of scary for Jeff, because it would have impacted the fragile beauty of the world in his head. Decades from now, people are going to be listening to every single note and shading of Buckley's music, like they do with Charlie Parker or Django Reinhardt, trying to hear all the nuances of music and emotion he packed in there.

I've never heard anyone who really got it. Wow I must commend you and tell you how happy reading this made me! You could not have come closer by saying,
