Because I was looking at some of my writing and I thought I was missing something or lacked something essential because my writing just wasn’t quite the same I missed the whole realist surreal boat it seemed like completely didn’t get it, but my writing now looking back is clearly quite romanticist.
So anyways, this just makes me think of Jeff Buckleys music and lyrics, you don’t really find romanticism out there too often. I wonder what exactly separates it from the rest. I think people think it’s good to see things in a really disconnected analytical way where like it’s surgical and you’re the practitioner, we’re just basically bloody meat sacks. I think because it’s considered an honorary and high prestigious position to be like a doctor or some shit so people see things that way. But it’s further than that, it’s completely realist I guess, but it doesn’t make very good at I think.
I personally think there’s like a mystical, profane and mysterious and beautiful quality to life, and I’m really drawn to nature.
But this brings to what else I wanted to focus on was that I think being more inclined to romanticism was like this whole other different perspective which lead to serious self introspection and self examination, which I think from what I’ve been able to glean from the surface lead Buckley in attempting to understand his
European roots more closely which is why he chose to perform so frequently at the Sin-E cafe which was like an Irish cafe in New York, and a more European side to things in general which is also the reason I think he moved to New York, because he really wanted to soak up everything it was about culturally. New York is supposed to be “liberal” which I can see in a sense, but it also has always struck me as being old fashioned in a way that is applicable to Europe.
