It Feels Like My Skull Changes Shape

I try to make my music joyful–it makes me joyful–to feel the music soar through the body. It changes your posture, you raise your chin, throw your shoulders back, walk with a swagger. When I sing, my face changes shape. It feels like my skull changes shape–the bones bend. ‘Grace’ and ‘Eternal Life’ are about the joy that music gives–the probably illusory feeling of being able to do anything.

— Jeff Buckley
