Timothy “Tim” Buckley, father of Jeff Buckley was a contemporary of Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen songbook admirer. Jeff Buckley famously covered Cohen’s Hallelujah at club Sin-e. Both father and son died well before their time. The considerable creative output from both gives us a legacy to pull from even with their relatively brief time on the planet.
This song flows like a fever dream. It opens with the gentle terror of something creeping in—“The tigers come at four / Shaped like the curtains and the floor”—and from that moment, the listener suspends between reality and reverie. These “tigers” aren’t predators in the jungle; they’re emotional presences, shapeshifting memories, and the ghostly forms pain can take as it weaves into domestic life.
