“Every life – and every tragic death is full of ‘what -ifs.’ I’ve been over Jeff’s death thousands of times in my mind, wondering if we could have – should have – done anything differently. Of course we could have, but none of us could have predicted the one last risky, no-parachute move Jeff made that day, walking backward into forever, his mind full of music as if he were in the long grass in front of his new house. Jeff swam farther toward Mud Island, singing along to Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love, his voice reflecting off the monorail bridge as he swam under it.”

– Words from Dave Lory, former manager of the late singer Jeff Buckley (1966 – 1997)
