I am 100% here for more people learning jeff buckley songs and more people hearing jeff buckley music in general.
ok
"Forget Her" has an interesting story. It was initially planned to be on "Grace", and the record label loved it and even saw it as a possible first single. Jeff started to hate the song after that, since he felt it was too conventional in a sense and he didn't want to be seen as a "crooner". He even said "If I hear that song again I'll be sick". Ultimately he "convinced" the label to replace "Forget Her" with "So Real", which was written very late, after Michael Tighe joined the band and came up with the intro of that song. (this is from the "Dream Brothers" book)
Aerosmith very nearly did a cover too, apparently.
Maybe a year late to this video, but I do have another element to add to the story behind why it wasn't included.
Rebecca Moore, the ex lover the song is about, Jeff had forgiven her, and didn't want to release a song in which he basically called her a who.. you know the rest of the letters!
Iâm a bit late but i personally prefer so real than forget her but i still love forget her too all his music was just incredible
thank u very much!
Wise Choice, "So Real" is my favorite song from him & is my favorite song period. I like "Forget Her" as well
Forget Her was pulled at the last second from Grace by Jeff. There are some promo đż of it. It was one of the first internet only songs ! đ
Miss Jeff Buckley so much. RIP, Jeff.
@Hortense d'Hautevill Sadly, I never got to see him. He only ever played 2 dates here in Florida. How lucky you are!
@Hortense d'Hautevill what kind of moment
I love how you are all casual and having a conversation and then slip into this amazing emotive voice to sing and then drop right back to mortal territory. And your guitar playing continues to evolve ... nicely. And you sound great ...
You can segue into Ainât No Sunshine during those intro chords. #Mashup
Awesome. Definitely my favourite Jeff song too :) Yep it was released in 2004 with the "Legacy Edition" of the album :) Jeff never wanted it on Grace, in fact, he said that 'if I hear it again, I will throw up"
I would love for you to do more covers of any of Jeff Buckley's songs because your voice sounds amazing with his melodies, but in particular All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun would be amazing
Jeff Buckley music was so short lived, but divine. And forget her was definitely one of my top favorite. Of course grace was always top one. Awesome vid you definitely did him justice. Your voice is so lovely.đđđđ
Nice
Mojo Pin and What Would You Say are my favorites.
Loving this format. Being quite a beginner, even your simplest advises are so helpful, thank you so much. Wishing you all the best and cheers from France :)
Your voice is mesmerizing. Whether in conversation or song. Love your guitar playing and so enjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Thank you for taking us along for the ride. You have some amazing talent. It would take me days to do what you do in a short video...
Mary, thank you so much for sharing your music! I'm a recent follower and enjoying the videos, your journeys, and your voice. I'm an amateur guitar player and absolutely appreciate all that you share.
Inspirational video! Love this so much đ you're voice is beautiful! đ„đ€ you're Martin sounding amazing! đ¶đž
A really underrated song. You really did it justice, good job! You should definitely do more Buckley. So Real and Mojo Pin are ones I think you'd do especially well.
It's a beautiful song. One if my fav songs ever. Raw, delicate, venerable and passionate. Just stunning. You did a great job. I'm going to learn this myself now
Lovely, as always Mary. Have a great time in Nashville!
You are such an amazing talent. You have such a great unique sound, and your voice is fantastic. Great job on this song.
The singing is so good!!! It works so well, Iâve never heard a cover as good as this! Brilliant
Itâs like Ainât no sunshine.
Sounds great. Didnât know that one, so thanks for bringing it up!
btw your voice is beautiful, seriously i love it!
What a voice, girl! what an incredibly beautiful colour! Your control of intensity is nice too... Thank for sharing how to play this masterpiece.
Wow! Love your voice Mary!
Wow Mary. Jeff is is probably my all time favorite and you doing this piece. Well. You just sound wonderful đ
Mary thank you for sharing the learning process of a new song, Jeff in LA USA
So glad you playing acoustic and what a guitar love it. Please do loads more acoustic covers and a bit of looping too
I believe that funky chord at the beginning is G7sus4. And the jazzy chord she throws in during the chorus is E7#9.
The "Hendrix" chord.
Thank you so much for offering this intimate glimpse into your method.
Hi Mary just you and a guitar sounding so good, not many these days can pull that off great video made my day Thx, have a sunny day 2mr!)
Always fun to watch the process, but it's the tips you share as you think of stuff that makes it interesting. Also, "improv face" is all kinds of win. :)
You show how much hard work pays off. I dont know you personally, but couldnt be more proud of how far you have come.
hi mary you are great i really enjoying listen to you sing and play the guitar.
That was really nice mary. Have always loved your voice.
Just come across you yesterday, love your voice and your attitude, keep it up girl! ;)
This song really fits your style.â€ïž Hypnotic âš
I learnt so much!!!
Many thanks from Marentino (Italy)!!!!
Love watching you work this out, reminds me nothings eazy.đ
Lovely playing Mary, great song too.
You have such a beautiful voice... Love it!!.....
this is your best video ever. keep them coming! they are GREAT MARY.........
your voice is so beautiful on this song!!
So glad i stumbled across this! Ty!
I LOVE jeff buckley! Such a great video Mary!
I think your voice is perfect for this song, especially after listening to the original. You do it justice and then some.
Wwwow, great voice! đłđłđłđŻ I'm gonna try to learn this song on my old guitar
Haha, "nice song when starting to play guitar and sing at the same time". Picking Jeff Buckley for that is setting the bar pretty high. Loving it!!!
Youâre flesh is So Nice and Lilac Wine are also amazing. I like the way he veered from the softer side and went completely off the rails with Your Flesh.
That was incredible! Iâve been listening to Jeff Buckley consistently since 1998, and I often cringe when I hear covers... but my god, you were amazing. So much emotion and your voice is incredibly rich. I was living and dying on your journey. Thank you!
Nice guitar! Happy Easter!
Totally agree with you Mary, one of the best songs on the album, I love the line âAll full of the wine the world before her was sober with no place to goâ
Hi Mary!!Thanks so much for the great video. Playing and listening to Jeff's music helps keep his spirit alive for me. I think he would have loved your take on his tune. What about covering Nick Drake's Northern Sky? Such a beautiful song......
Thank you! Beautyful soul!
Great stuff, thanks Mary. What a great way to SPEND 20 or so minutes.
my fav is grace! and this the second best.loved especially low part of your range
Really enjoyed this video! Would love to see some James Taylor!!
Damnit mary. Ive been looking for new covers to add to my set lists too. We are learning this together now. Very pretty song! And a little too relatable right now...ugh. The feels.
Loved that pull off đ
The editing in this video is really funny Iâm here for it
See some folks writing that Jeff hated the song, which I respectfully don't believe was the case. He had written the song, as Mary has rightly intuited, in the midst of intense heartache, following a breakup. It was just too painful for him to sing and he didn't want people hearing it, loving it, and then calling out for it in his live shows. Easy to forget that he was only 23 or 24 when he wrote and recorded this.
He was 29 actually
Farewell Nico It seems we are both mistaken (though I, more so)... Jeff was born November of 1967, and he passed in May of 1997, so he was 30. Far too young, any which way, to be sure.
Just jamed with you it was awesomeđ
Wow! Your voice is absolutely sublime!...reminds me of Sharleen Spiteri.
i gotta give it to you firstly before i watch anymore of this video, your vocals are outstanding. not attempting to be rude in any way to female artists, but I find a lot of modern day singers, even rock artists all sound so similar and can't break the mould with new and interesting vocal performances. as soon as you started it sounded so amazing, truly paying homage to your inspiration from buckley but also giving it your own flavour. keep this shit up, its fucking awesome.
How about some Gary Clark Jr? I think Pearl Cadillac or When I'm Gone might be right up your alley.
buckley is the man! i played grace live for the first time last night it took 2 months to get the vocal part close to being right haha im a tenor 1 so using mixed voice that high and loud is soooooo hard! such a big no no in the choir world! it broke every heart in the room though!
Make sure to check out third man records! You should do a song straight to record in there recording booth they have.
She put a picture of her there on instagram. TMR is amazing!
*their
There** Their is the term of property and since she doesn't own the place it doesn't make sense to say their
I definitely need to listen to more Singer Songwriters. Anyway, Keep Up the Good Work Mary!!
I really like your voice, and this is also one of my favorites definitely underrated
Great video Mary, your beautiful voice is well suited to this song. You wondered aloud if you should keep a beat through the solo... my thought is only on the 2 and 4, not heavily either (or 4 and 10 if this song is written in 12/8), or perhaps only once per measure (2nd "beat" of each bar). I also love the extra bluesy chord you throw in up the neck, so tasty. Cant wait to hear your finished version đ
This is real ! Loved it !
love your voice!
I had the joy of watching his whole Glastonbury set, hardly a soul there, amazing
The intro could also be an acoustic version of Planets Collide bij Crowbar.
Lady Spender, I first heard you sing Sultans of Swing. Your voice did that song justice and I didn't think that could be done.
Just now, I saw your 'Fast Car' and all I can say is I'm stunned. I never liked that song but damn if I didn't like your version. You got a voice, you just need to find your sound. Sincerely loving you from afar, Raven.
P.S. Never stop singing
Good morning Mary I just wanted to tell you look at the binding on your acoustic guitar it is exquisite very beautiful binding it also has a herringbone binding
Wonderful Mary..
Listen to the live version it's the real version. With the full Intro which is much harder and a longer outro that are both so much more beautiful and it adds so so much to the song
One of my fav Jeff Buckley song!
Not included in "Grace". đ
Great video Mary!
Edit: I got goosebumps. If you released a dedicated cover video, it would have imo a LOT of success!
I love your new guitar but can I ask you about the unusual fret markers. Is this something you chose or something that Martin offer? Love your work x
Iâm so f***** in love with your voice đ±đ±
Sounds better to me with your fingers Mary sounds warmer and more mellow!
Love your vocals
This song really sounds very good thanks
I think I'm in love with your voice.
Mary!!! You have got to let us know ahead of time...I live in Nashville and would have really loved to meet you and get your autograph... love your videos and music! I hope you had a pleasant trip here:)
Do you like live in America now Mary? Always seem to be there, having a tonne of fun! Love Jeff Buckley, really fun to hear you play this song, donât think Iâve ever heard it before!
Cool vid! Thanks for sharing this process. Good tone and good vibes - "Thursday Teaching Tactics"
Agreed 100% Jeff Buckley's Forget her and Lost highway are my favorite Jeff Buckley songs.
Nice song! The tone you have with your fingers is much nicer than the pick.
Holy damn you sound so classy. Nice voice!
VELVET, that voice!
Very good practice session Mary, I thought maybe you should have a go at The Black Crowes - Girl from a Pawnshop or Miracle to Me, very beautiful but very trixy indeed!
Absolutely love Jeff Buckley! Way cool!! Lover you should've come over is my favorite by Jeff.
Is it possible for us to get a full cover of this song?
Could you possibly learn Black by Pearl Jam? Lots of heartbreak in that song. I think with your style you would make an amazing rendition of it!
For the chorus - E Minor. D. C.
Music Sucks Iâm with you on that one !
That would be interesting to hear Mary do. That said, it's not really an uncommon song to do solo. I've played it myself since it was new music.
Ugh, overdone.
@@TeaLeafThief I beg do disagree. I'd like to se someone actually succeed of doing it solo acoustically. Mary: You can do it!!
really nice! question, at 11:10, what chords are you playing? it looks 2 variations of F but it does not sound like that
How about using a looper for the rhythm while playing the solo
đđđ amazing đđŒđđŒ
Of two styles you played, I preferred the pic style, it matched your strong voice. The open fingers were too weak. You have an awesome voice.
