I spent a few hours tonight figuring out the Jeff Buckley song “So Real,” listening, sifting through bad tabs and bad to ok youtube videos, consulting the man himself in Live In Chicago, and arrived at some voicings that sound and look just about right, and man oh man. To make those sounds happen under your own hands. It’s like tapping into a vein, or building a fire. There were little sparks, and I shielded them from the wind, and blew gently, and then by God it was there. And the song just doesn’t ever stop. It can’t stop, it just burns up everything you give it. It’s a horror movie and the best kiss.
