Tim Buckley-I Woke Up

For some reason, people are always going on & on about Jeff Buckley & covering his songs but frankly, I thought his Grace album was boring.
Meanwhile, I rarely hear about his father- Tim Buckley- who made more interesting music and had a better voice.


This is the 3rd time I've created a post about a song from his out of this world Starsailor album.

To Whom It May Concern... or ayannadawn's revenge

So-called FAMILY ....... IF you happen to read this.... when I would go to school or anywhere else, when I was a kid & get laughed at, picked on, bullied, whatever, I should 've been able to come home to ALL OF YOU &  count on you for comfort or have felt comfortable confiding in you about all of it, but no, even back then,  for goodness sake,  as young as 10 or 11 years old,  something inside me said YOU couldn't be trusted, so why bother. And you have proven me right ever since!

The next link is for an article that does a very good job of explaining what kids like me had to go through, it says parents but in my case, its the WHOLE damn family. Scroll down to get to the 6 ways, cause the first few paragraphs aren't relevant:

The only Christmas song I can stand...

Haven't officially had a panic attack- yet......

Paranoia.....

 

Crying my eyes out. Severe anxiety. Am I a ticking time bomb? Tearful rage while at the computer. My chest felt tight as I banged the keys. Family working my nerves from every angle. I suppress my true feelings. Tormented mind. I've been getting tension headaches for years, and now I'm having pain in my shoulders.  I think there's a mental blockage that always keep me from saying more......

Physically absent father/emotionally absent mother (& extended family on my mother's side), don't know my father's side, as well (didn't have to live with them) although I heard some things about my grandmother on my father's side that make her sound pretty toxic.

Not one of you could be there for me when I needed you, & I can't count on you to help me feel better, but you can make plenty of snarky comments.
