    Jeff was so special.
    I remember him saying in an interview that a person's voice reflects who they are, e.g. if you're shy or sweet or sensitive or sexy or feminine or sad or hurt then it comes acroos in your voice. And it is so true. Especially with his own. His voice truly reflects his beautiful soul. No other voice is like Jeff's. He is too much. Extraordinary

    Jeff Buckley was the best of the best, but he looked so sad at times. It breaks my heart to watch his interviews, & music videos. He lived & breathed music. It was his true love. You can virtually feel his pain & torment when he sings. He loved to play live. It didn't matter where; on tour with his band, or at the coffeehouses like Shenee`. If he had not died such a tragic death at such a young age, I believe he would have been a Grammy winner many times over. His vocals were so unbelievably beautiful. He had an octive range that most of us have never heard before, & probably never will again. He had the voice of an angel. If you've never heard him sing "Didos Lament," a beautiful opera/hymn that is also sung by several opera singers in their beautiful soprano voices. It's a very sad &
    meaningful song. It gives
    me goosebumps when I hear Jeff sing it.
    The next song is a very old hymn entitled "San Antonio Carol." I love that song as well. It is another song that Jeff sings in a soprano voice. It just gives me the chills. When Jeff sings, he sings with such passion, you can't help but be in awe of his special talent. He was one
    of the greatest singers, song writer's & guitarists of his generation. But he didn't live long enough to know it.

      +Marchand Steenkamp How can you even begin to believe that Corby is a modern day equivalent, he's another Buckley wannabe that's just like every other Buckley wannabe. The difference is he's a pretty boy without Buckley's God given talent. Corby wishes as do a million other singers that they could even, even come close to singing one song as well and as soulful as Jeff. Bad advice!

      3. Calling Corby a wannabe exposes your ignorance to his musical career.

    There is simply no-one like Jeff Buckley and his vocal range is exceptional. He is also beautiful, just look at the above picture of him! He reminds me of Chris Jones from the 1960s (Ryan's Daughter). I wish I could sing, and hold notes like him and for as long as he does. My favourite is "Lover, you should've come over". I, like many others, discovered him posthumously; I would have loved to have seen him live.

    I love this version of "Calling You". I've heard many versions. Javetta Steele's who I originally thought no one could top. Celine Dion's, Jeff Buckley's, Dorota Osinska's, all great interpretations. I Can only judge these in different ways. Javetta's is the most soulful. Jeff's is the most heart wrenching. And, Dorota's is the one that touches me most in my soul.
    My final is Jeff's version which I find to be so painful that I could only listen to it once in awhile. And, Dorota Osinska's 's which I could listen to forever. Please listen to the different versions before you make any comments. After all, we want to learn from each other. All are on Utube.
    PS. I expect the people here are fans of Jeff Buckley. If you want to check out one of his more famous covers - check out KD Langs' version of "Hallelujah at the 2010 Winter Olympics (much better than the studio version). .

      On ne peux pas attendre des autres qu'ils nous rendent heureux par contre nous on peut offrir tout ce qu'on a reçu en nous pour être agréable à quelqu'un le bref moment de notre vie.
      L'engagement volontaire sans rein attendre en retour.
      On nait seul et on fini seul mais donner son temps est la chose la plus précieuse car notre temps c'est notre vie qui s'écoule.
      N'attendez pas que quelqu'un vous rende heureuse mais donnez tout ce que vous avez sans calcul.
      Bien à vous.

      +vanesa valdez As was said long ago, it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

      @florentlaw-wun180 Před 8 lety +3

      Je pense que le véritable amour ne meurt pas et si ce qu'on croit être de l'amour meurt c'est que ça n'en était pas.
      Comment peut peut se lasser de quelqu'un et prétendre ensuite qu'on l'a aimé ?
      C'est un mensonge ou un déni.
      L'amour n'est pas unilatéral mais doit être réciproque et partagé.
      Donc mélancolie et sentimentalisme ne sont pas de l'amour mais un horrible mirage dans un désert de solitude.

    Listening to Jeff while I was in the shower this morning. Lover you should have come over...the ending stirs me. This was followed by Calling You.... it’s honesty and raw quality always overwhelm me. I leaned against the tile in the warm water and sobbed. Never has an artist’s voice moved me like this. It was such a touching and vulnerable few minutes of my life.

    I don't think Jeff had a sad life per say, but i think he had a neverending thirst when it came to music. He was so passionate, had so much integrity and was just down right honost about his music. I just think he was in a ongoing search for something, like most musicians, i would know being a musician myself and a perfectionist at the same time - i bet Jeff was too. Not to compare myself to Jeff though, if i was half the musician he was, i would be places by now, that voice is holy!

    Uma pena que foi embora tão cedo, poucas vezes vi tamanha versatilidade vocal, além disso era um guitarrista incrível.

      of course you're right there, it's more like 'soul attraction' for me with Jeff Buckley, Looks alone would not explain the attraction I feel towards him and his music, it must be something way deeper, 'course it doesn't hurt that he was physically beautiful!
