"On the subject of dedication to a craft, in addition to talent, it was, and especially the singing, were so original, so powerful, and so accomplished, that the tragedy of his loss, after making only the one record (though a flood of demos and live recordings was released in his wake), seemed ever more poignant. It was clear to me that Jeff Buckley had been one of the few Great Ones, a one-in-a-billion talent, a true voice of his generation, and at thirty, he had hardly begun. Whatever is left behind in the passing of a rare talent, so much is always lost."

― Neil Peart – Drummer from Rush (Traveling Music: Play Back the Soundtrack to My Life and Times)
(From Classic Rock Magazine) Interviewer: "What gives you the most satisfaction as an artist?“

Neil Peart: "When I found out that Jeff Buckley was aware of our work… to have been a part of the inspiration for a talent like that! I refer back to that Bob Dylan quote. As an artist, what else can you do for people but inspire them? That is the absolute highest goal.“
