    Lyrics:
    While this town is busy sleeping,
    All the noise has died away.
    I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
    'Cause she'll never change her ways.
    Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
    Ah, my heart feels so still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
    Ooh, I think I've forgotten her now.
    Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
    Dropping her petals in land unknown
    All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go.
    Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
    My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
    She's somewhere out there now.

It would be nice to meet Jeff but you would be in complete and total awe of Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the light. Ask God with all your honesty, to reveal Himself to you and He will.

I can understand why he thought this song was too personal to include on the album, but I'm so thankful that it was ultimately released - hopefully he isn't scowling at us all for listening to it! 😅 May he rest in peace, for he's certainly provided me with peace many times over the years...

    Forget Her
    Jeff Buckley
    While this town is busy sleeping
    All the noise has died away
    I walk the streets to stop my weeping
    Cause she'll never change her ways
    Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her
    Ah, my heart feels so still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow
    Oh, I think I've forgotten her now
    Her love is a rose, pale and dying
    Dropping her petals in land unknown
    All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go
    Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her
    My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow
    She's somewhere out there now
    Well my tears falling down as I try to forget
    Her love was a joke from the day that we met
    All of the words, all of her men
    All of my pain when I think back to when
    Remember her hair as it shone in the sun
    The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done
    Tell yourself over and over you won't ever need
    Her again
    But don't fool yourself
    She was heartache from the moment that you met her
    Oh, my heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow
    She's out there somewhere now
    Oh She was heartache from the day that I first met her
    My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget you, somehow

      No there are not.. I believe all mine are in my name are gone..I loved them for their lyrics, their vocals, and no jerry Cantrell did not write all the lyrics for AIC,he wrote some and mostly Co wrote them with Staley, Staley wrote some on his own and especially in his band MAD SEASON.he was given total control over lyrics bc they knew his feelings towards his AIC (friends ) not Mike Starr his best friend who they kicked out in 93 making Staley worse..anyway CONOR is a new vocalist from a young band called nothing but thieves NBT who's been compared to Buckley, Thome York, Muse..Anyway he caught me completely off guard bc I watched his acoustic versions first, and live concerts first. He's got passion and a complete variety of influences alot like some of Jeffs , one of course is Zeppelin, where he has a live version, outside singing immigrants song during an earthquake and at first he's nervous then he of course decided he's got to do this. Their new and blows it out of the water. He's got lots that are kinda sad to viewers, kinda like Jeffs..but his voice is amazing. .completely surprised me and made me put his name with the others..bc I'd lost faith in today's music until I heard his band.

      I think the whole "analyzing" thing really depends on your mood. Sometimes I get lost in purely the emotion of a song, when maybe a day later I would hear the same song and be in an analytical mood based off of other factors. There is a beauty to both.

    This was always one of my favorite songs of Jeff's, even if I'd never lived these lyrics. My wife left at the beginning of the year, after 14 years together, for another guy. Finally, in my heartbroken state, this song is for me. I forever dedicate this song to her.

    Been reading the new Dave Lory book on Jeff(he was his manager) and the story around this song is so interesting. Jeff wrote it during the Grace recording sessions in just a short while but as time went on before the album was released, he grew to hate the song and would give everybody different reasons for why he wanted it dropped. Nobody understood why because it was a surefire radio hit and a great song but he was adamant. Ultimately it was dropped and So Real took its place. The manager thinks Jeff didn’t think it was good enough yet but I wonder if he wrote it in a moment of anger over his recent break up with his ex but then calmed down a bit and didn’t want her knowing just how he felt if it had been on the album.

      Jeff used to pick fights with her so he could be in that emotional mind state to write such beautiful songs such as 'Last Goodbye' etc. Yet Jeff thanks her father in the liner notes of the 'Grace' album, 'P. Thank you for her. Thank you for them all. Bless you for us two. Love, Jeff.' Rebecca's father's name was Peter.
      Another note should be that 'Forget Her' was originally meant to be on the 'Grace' LP but Michael Tighe came to Jeff with the intro idea of 'So Real'. Jeff loved it so much that they worked it up into a song and 'Forget Her' was scratched in favour of 'So Real'.
      Again, only in my understanding from articles I’ve read over the years. Mostly conjecture. Don’t believe anything you read right?

The part about being all full of wine, a rose pale and dying dropping her petals in strange places, the color of her hair in the sun, the smell of the bed after she had brought a strange man into my room and my sheets, and the fact that now I know she was heartache from the day that I met her. This is some good songwriting, but I wish I didn't have to relate to it so well.

    "Forget Her"
    While this town is busy sleeping,
    All the noise has died away.
    I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
    'Cause she'll never change her ways.
    Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
    Ah, my heart feels so still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
    Ooh, I think I've forgotten her now.
    Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
    Dropping her petals in land unknown
    All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go.
    Don't fool yourself, she was heartache from the moment that you met her.
    My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
    She's somewhere out there now.
    [Guitar Solo]
    Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,
    Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
    All of the words, all of her men,
    All of my pain when I think back to when.
    Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
    The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
    Tell yourself over and over you won't ever need her again.
    But don't fool yourself,
    She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
    Oh, my heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
    She's out there somewhere now.
    Oh She was heartache from the day that I first met her.
    My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget you, somehow.

    Forget Her
    Jeff Buckley
    While this town is busy sleeping,
    All the noise has died away.
    I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
    'Cause she'll never change her ways.
    Don't fool yourself,
    She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
    My heart feels so still
    As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
    Oh I think I've forgotten her now.
    Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
    Dropping her petals in land unknown
    All full of wine, the world before her,
    Was sober with no place to go.
    Don't fool yourself,
    She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
    My heart is frozen still
    As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
    She's somewhere out there now.
    Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,
    Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
    All of the words, all of her men,
    All of my pain when I think back to when.
    Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
    The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
    Tell yourself over and over
    You won't ever need her again.
    But don't fool yourself,
    She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
    My heart is frozen still
    As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
    She's out there somewhere now.
    Oh she was heartache from the day that I first met her.
    My heart is frozen still
    As I try to find the will to forget you, somehow.
    'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now.

    2:36-3:06 is one of the most astonishingly emotional passages of singing ever recorded...the man was a true one-off.
