Songs to No One 1991–1992 is an album of material from studio sessions, home tapes, and club performances recorded during the collaboration between Jeff Buckley and Gary Lucas.

[9] These differing artistic directions lead Lucas and Heyward into conflict early on in their collaboration, resulting in having zero tracks committed to tape in over a year signed with Columbia .

[10] Reflecting on this partnership, Lucas stated in his book Touched by Grace that he "was pretty fed up with my musical partner and secretly dreamed of finding a male vocalist… a beautiful boy who could flat-out rock and not write peachy didactic lyrics".

[11] It was at this point, early spring of 1991, that New York producer Hal Willner contacted Lucas to invite the pair to perform at a Tim Buckley tribute concert, which took place later that year.

The three organisers already fans of Tim Buckley’s musical legacy, set to work on saluting the 1960s folk musician by firstly tracking down a publicity photo for the concert program.

[12] Arriving 6 days before the concert took place, Jeff Buckley sat in on a night of rehearsals, his presence described by Lucas as "the very image of the young Tim Buckley… same sensual, red-lipped mouth, same sensitive, haunted, blazing eyes".

[19] The duo’s musical relationship began the following day, on April 21, 1991, when Buckley went to Lucas’ West Village apartment to rehearse.

[23] In a memoir recounting the relationship between the pair, Lucas alludes to this afternoon as the turning point in his aspirations for Gods and Monsters, specifically the longing of replacing Julia Heywood as the group’s leading vocalist and collaborator.

[26] Finalised in ten days, Lucas posted the two tapes to Buckley, who at that point, had returned to Los Angeles, and suggested that he write some lyrics.

[30] According to collection of diary entries and notes released by Buckley’s estate in the book 'His Own Voice', the lyrics which partnered with the 'And You Will' instrumental, date back to November 22, 1989.

[35] Inspiration for the inclusion of Pat Kelly’s 'How Long Will It Take' on Songs to No One 1991—1992 came from Lucas' solo guitar tour of the UK in early 1992.

On this day 'And You Will' became 'Mojo Pin', and 'Rise Up To Be' became 'Grace' formally, both of which exist as unreleased home demo tapes, and later appeared on Buckley’s solo debut album of the same name.

[37][38] Lucas contacted Gods and Monsters bassist Jared Nickerson and drummer Tony Lewis in the hopes of organising a full band rehearsal, which took place on August 16, 1991, at Countdown Studios in the West Village.

[39] Once the newly formed band had an agreed arrangement, and Buckley had finalised his lyrics, Lucas booked a session at Krypton Studios in Soho, to record the next day.

The production choices made by Guibert, specifically to rework tracks with newer musical contributions, led to Lucas’ lack of artistic control and overall negative response to its release, stating that "it did not quite turn out like I envisioned, to say the least".

In the CD liner notes, Willner further explained his role in the compiling of this work:"These tracks were originally recorded for demo purposes and never intended for release.

I am usually suspicious of this kind of thing, but I decided to take it on because I knew that this project or a similar one would be done eventually whether it was authorised or not, so I told myself that Jeff would have wanted me to do it.

"[35] In February 1992, Buckley and Lucas visited photographer Jack Vartoogian’s home studio in New York to take publicity photos for the then upcoming March Gods and Monsters show back at St Ann’s.

Bringing attention to the opening track 'Hymne à l’Amour', the Edith Piaf cover was praised for its experimental loops and Qawwali vocal influence.
