It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley (2025)
Melkweg, Tuesday, September 15 at 06:30 PM GMT+2
It took Amy Berg ten years to gain access to the archive of Jeff Buckley (1966-1997) through his heirs. She draws heavily on the material for this documentary about the life of the man who became a musical icon in a short space of time—thanks to a heavenly voice that only grew stronger at the top of its range, one phenomenal album, Grace, and his death at the age of 30, which left the music world stunned.
Using energetic editing, the film strings together moments from his childhood to his tragic death. There is footage of a 14-year-old Buckley singing “Roxanne” by The Police, and of his performances at the New York underground café Sin-é, where he would try out his own material, as well as audio recordings of messages he left on answering machines.
These clips reveal the more personal side of Buckley, which also emerges in interviews with former band members, musician friends like Ben Harper and Aimee Mann, his mother Mary Guibert, and his former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser. Their stories make this film more than just an attempt to explain an elusive musical enigma; it becomes a tender portrait shaped by love.
Melkweg often hosts different types of programmes at the same time, such as concerts, club nights and films. Please note that there may occasionally be some noise pollution from other programmes during the screening.

Having a great time rooting around in my bookmarks today. Thrasher is an Inuk singer-songwriter, recorded this debut in the 70s that was then re-reissued by Light in the Attic in 2015 following the interest in the compilation they had released the previous year, Native North America (Vol. 1): Aboriginal Folk, Rock, and Country 1966-1985. I have the comp queued up next...

Block – Over And Over
After “I Thought I Won The War,” a critically acclaimed single released recently over all streaming media platforms, Block is back with another marvelous composition that will definitely suit all his fans and gather many new listeners. Serving as a perfect showcase of what you might expect from his upcoming album, “Over And Over” also represents his first piece of work released this year. Compared to the previous track, this song also showcases numerous innovations in songwriting, composition, arrangement, and production, demonstrating a natural progression of an already incredible artist. Lyrically, the song is about obsessive-compulsive disorder. Block reflects on a lifelong battle with the condition, noting that it was poorly understood or mislabeled during his childhood. The lyrics aim to capture the horrible things and maddening repetition that define the experience. By sharing his personal hell and admitting he wouldn’t wish it even on his worst enemy, Block uses vulnerability to create a moody, intimate atmosphere that invites listeners into the reality of chronic mental health struggles. Sonically, Block combines a singer-songwriter approach with various techniques, directions, and genres in order to vividly depict the lyrical theme. Perhaps music genres like indie folk and indie rock come to mind first, but do not be surprised if you stumble upon some of the finest properties borrowed from alternative, art rock, alt-folk, folk rock, and modern rock. Block cleverly, thoughtfully, and tastefully combines all these styles by offering a calm, soothing, relaxing, ethereal ambiance, serving as an adequate platform for the song’s theme. It’s also worth noting that the “Over And Over” evokes the late nineties indie sound, while the latest trends in production infuse a contemporary vibe. It’s definitely one of those songs that immediately wraps around your listening apparatus and refuses to let go long after the last notes and beats end.
Photo courtesy of the band.As soon as you press play, you’ll immediately notice almost a cinematic ambiance lurking around, thanks to calm vocal harmonies, lush instrumentations, and moderate beats. “Over And Over” is one of those tracks with perfect structure, fully stacked with profoundly detailed segments, brilliant ideas, and outstanding musicianship, but it definitely stands out with its unique atmosphere. Block’s vocal performance plays a significant role here, as it acts as a centerpiece that immediately pulls you into the sonic whirlwind. His calm, soothing, relaxing voice commands attention, elevates everything to new heights, and guides you from scratch to finish. You’ll immediately notice all the sincerity, passion, heart, and soul delivered through delicate vocal harmonies that seamlessly balance all the low, mid, and high notes with such precision and finesse. Besides decorating all the segments and orchestrations, his performance also contributes more than necessary emotional depth and complexity to an already intricate song structure. In the meantime, the interplay between synths and guitars shapes a perfect backdrop for all the vocals to shine upon. You’ll notice all those lush, beautiful, ethereal synth themes, melodies, and harmonies on one side while the other resonates with catchy, memorable, engaging chord progressions, delivered on acoustic guitars. It’s nearly mindblowing how all these layers articulate together without overwhelming each other, proving that Block thought about everything while writing, composing, arranging, and producing this song. “Over And Over” wouldn’t sound complete without the equally impressive rhythm section, and you’ll definitely notice how intricate, warm-sounding basslines rumble beneath all those beautiful vocal harmonies, lush synths, and catchy guitar works. These low ends are so subtle yet hearable enough to deliver more heaviness, clarity, and depth to the song while simultaneously binding the mentioned orchestrations with rhythmic patterns. The tastefully arranged, flawlessly performed, well-accentuated beats, breaks, fills, and other percussive acrobatics bring almost a trip-hop atmosphere, keep everything in line, and dictate groove and moderate pace. These rhythmic patterns are also subtle yet notable, bringing more than necessary rhythm while leaving enough room for other instruments to shine.
With “Over And Over,” Block showcases why he’s one of the most celebrated artists whose music inspired many. By building soulful, emotive, cinematic ambiance through beautiful vocal harmonies, lush synth themes, catchy chord progressions, intricate basslines, and moderate beats, he revealed a fresh, unique, innovative, exciting new face of alternative and indie music. “Over And Over” stands out from anything you could hear on the music scene nowadays, thanks to Block’s unique songwriting and composing abilities and a distinctive approach to performing music. If you’re looking for music that speaks volumes, tackles important themes, and resonates with bold and innovative sonic maneuvers, then you should immediately place “Over And Over” on your music radar. It’s available on all streaming platforms, so check it out!

The advent of big success became a contributing factor to bringing this group to the verge of disintegration. The key difference was that the duo themselves became the band, and everybody else left instead...

Randomly decided to listen to Ron Sexsmith's major label debut from 1995, knew basically nothing about him, but I've really enjoyed him. A mellow, introspective folk with little flashes of rock here and there. I would listen to more.
