    I read an interview with Jeff where he talked about his music. I’d never heard a note of his music yet his words went straight from the page to my heart. He was playing that same night, one concert in Sydney at the Phoenician Club. I didn’t know it was impossible to find tickets for it. I never went to concerts. But I had to go to this one. To go to be with this soul. I went & stood by the entry door gazing into the Club. A man came to the door and said he had some complimentary ticket & would I like one.
    So I entered as I was meant to be there. Like coming home to hear my dear beautiful heart brother sing. Jeff was real. A one in a million so rare one. I miss him.

      Thank you for sharing this. I wonder if this was the same Phoenician club Jeff concert I went to? It would have been around 2005-ish. [Postscript: I got the decade wrong!! It was more like 1995-ish] Like you, I very rarely attended concerts, but I had had the very good fortune of meeting Jeff and his band. My friend and I got to go to every gig in their Sydney tour after the first one at the Metro. At the Phoenician club, Jeff had given us green room passes, and he autographed my silk-satin entry pass. Then... I watched the most phenomenal live performance ever. Do you recall when he let his voice range wildly and freely up and down through god knows HOW many octaves. No words, just incredible sounds and vocal expressions. Maestro. Do you recall he threw one of his guitar picks into the audience? I don't know how this happened but I caught it!!! I still have it. Do you recall that he dedicated one of his songs to "My Kangaroo Blue"? No, that wasn't me, sadly, but a beautiful Sydney woman who had blue hair with silver bells in it, they were having a lovely little romance. I always wondered if she knew of his dedication... I'm guessing she was there. Anyhow, what an AMAZING soul, and an amazing concert! So glad you followed your instincts and went.

    The fact that Liz was upset about this song being released,saying something to the effect of, 'why does everything have to be heard?' makes me feel guilty sometimes listening to it, like it was clearly this very personal recording, moment, song to the two of them. She also was upset it got out because she said it 'wasn't finished' which makes me think this must be like a bare bones, acoustic version of the song. All that said, it makes me tear up every time I listen and in my own selfish way, I am so grateful it did get out.

      +verveine m Exactly of course she wasn't going to redo her parts when he died or anything she just knows they could have done it much better and this is basically a home demo. She probably also feels it is an invasion of her/their privacy because they had an affair at the time. In a way it's akin to the whole wide world listening to private unfinished recordings of you and your ex who tragically died young after the break up. I wouldn't want that either :/ anyway I've heard she warmed to the idea of it being out for us all to hear and is proud of it as she should be, so don't feel guilty. Thanks Jeff, thanks Elizabeth.

    And sing her
    Into my thoughts
    Oh, phantom elusive thing
    Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
    I know you say that there's no-one for you
    But here is one
    All flowers in time bend towards the sun
    I know you say that there's no-one for you
    But here is one, but here is one...
    Here is one
    ...
    Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun

    But here is one
    All flowers in time bend towards the sun
    I know you say that there's no-one for you
    But here is one, but here is one...
    Keep it going in me, wicked traveller
    Fading farther from me
    With your face in my window glow
    Oh, where will you weep for me?
    Sweet willow

    Despite Elizabeth Fraser's misgivings about this recording, I (and it seems many others) honestly feel that this is the perfect version of this song. Putting a whole bunch of production into a song like this would probably make it feel much less immediate and heartfelt.
    This is old-school music making at it's best: a lightning-in-a-bottle take of a stunning song by two great artists at the height of their powers and with an obvious and strong emotional chemistry between them. You don't want to go messing too much with a piece of art that came out as perfectly formed as this did.
    I just love this track to bits, and the world would be a lesser place without it.

    To me, this is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, if not the most. So raw, yet so delicate, so angry, yet so tender, so sophisticated, yet so simple. As a songwriter myself, this is the type of stuff that motivates me to work hard to improve my craft in order to create something as touching as this, yet makes me hopeless as I probably never will. It's one of those things that somehow eludes the understanding of the very creator, I mean, I don't see how someone who writes this song is even aware of what he/she's doing, and the fact that Fraser seems to be unhappy about this recording seems to prove my point. We are in desperate need of more music like this, but who really knows how to write it? What a stroke of genius and inspiration. This is magic.

    The intimacy of their angelic voices and lyrics intertwined never fails to stir up so much emotion within me. At this time of this recording, they were a couple. Knowing that Liz was devastated when this track was released without her knowledge, shows that the intimacy we hear pales in comparison to their bond. It’s like a love letter that’s revealed... so deeply personal and private. I can’t imagine the loss she felt, when we collectively lose this angel... I pray that she finds solace in the knowledge that this intimate love song has touched the soul of every listener❤️

    I play this song all the time. Please never take it down. I came across it one night, drinking wine and listening to music on CZcams. Up it popped in the recommendations. Can't believe I had never heard it before. Beautiful energy in their voices, although it does make me a little nostalgic and regretful. Thank you Elizabeth Fraser and Jeff Buckley.

    I was listening to this song over and over going through such heartbreak. It’s one of those songs that I can just feel deeply in my heart that it pulls the heartstrings. The underproduction adds an authentic touch with their voices still hitting the notes together, I can feel the connection through the song. So beautiful, R.I.P Jeff Buckley, you had so much talent that still touches Hearts today.

      Millicent Ingram I'm about Jeff's age and I had met him one time in Austin,Tx at an instore jam I think it was 94 or 5 and fell for Jeff instantly. I had never heard anyone sing like that before, I've dreamt about him many times, so I feel ya!

    • @elevenart
      @elevenart Před 9 lety +46

      Millicent Ingram Me too, lots of "dreams" with Jeff, sometimes in spaces with others too. What's more is that he appeared when I was mourning him, over my bed, smiling - not a dream, I'd just waken up at dawn (not twilight like the pre-edit) - & many visits thereafter. He told me also that you never "die" & made it VERY clear that he is Not a "ghost". Ghosts are stuck between worlds, Jeff is not stuck anywhere. He is still involved in his life, as Jeff Buckley; he's just finishing from the Other Side. Usually looks the same as the 90's (poofed hair & all) which I love because we're the same age group & that was my heyday:-) Happy Jeff Dreams, Millicent.

    There's a lot of praise for the vocals (which is warranted, the vocals by both Jeff and Liz are AMAZING) but I think the guitars in this song are absolutely sublime, and very underrated.
    Jeff is really known for his voice, but he was an extremely skilled and unique guitar player who worked very hard to get there.

      @@sarcasticallyrearranged there is a lack of closure the like of which there wouldn't be if it was an overdose, or an obvious suicide, the fact that it was to our knowledge, a natural, accidental drowning, means that we can't ever even begin to think what he was feeling or thinking in his last moments, we will always be left guessing if it was actually completely natural, if he just let go when he realized what's happening and if he could've escaped it if he tried. If it was a suicide it'd be another artist tragically driven to it by the toxic industry and the fame, or that he was so deeply depressed that he took his own life, no, we don't get that, and I'm so happy for it.

    It's one of the rare songs that formed a vigorous attachment to my ears from the first listen... It literally demolishes any feeling of emptiness and causes a surge of feelings that overwhelm me, in a good way. It feels like a slap, it makes me forget about the flatness of everyday life, and even if it's just for a couple of minutes - I exalt that sensation.
    Unmatched artists are spread out all over this world, each in their own corner of solitude and weirdness, weaving timeless peaces...
