Lyrics:
Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so
You'll never know
Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one
So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return,
Or, will I ever learn?
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.
Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
That won't ever come
It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
When I slept so soft against her
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over,
She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
But maybe I'm just too young,
To keep good love from going wrong
Oh lover, you should've come over, yeah yeah yes
I feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind
To see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love I've waited for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late
#JeffBuckley #Live - Hudba
“Broken down and hungry for your love, with no way to feed it” kills me every time I hear that line.
My favorite line is "My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder." 😭❤
Wonderful
Absolutely ♥️
Dude this line hits sooo hard
That's where he really starts to build it
how in the universe was this man actually real
most accurate comment on any of his videos
+Chloe Lambert (: ahah
Chloe Lambert the universe was once GOOD
He was and I was lucky enough to see him live once. It was at Maxwell's in Jersey City. Nothing but a pos box of a club. But I was standing 17 inches from his guitar as he played. I was in freaking awe! Maxwell's didn't have a backstage so all bands filed off the stage from the front. As we were making our way out the only doors to the stage space, Jeff slowly put his arm around me as if for support. He was in a completely different head space. We walked out together with our arms around each other's shoulders. I shook his hand and told him that was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. He thanked me modestly and we parted ways. He lived a block away from me in NYC so I'd run into him from time to time, which was really cool. Never did get off my ass to see him play SinÉ considering it was only two blocks away from me. Oh well. He was amazing and I miss him every day.
He was So Real, he seemed fake.
Nobody can sing like that unless they've been touched by crushing heartache.
EVERYTHING you said!!! yes!
REAL TALK….IYKYK
🙏😔
If he wouldve stuck around to duet with Amy Winehouse... i imagine their resonance wouldve solved everything and healed everyone
Not sure about that, he might have become lost in a sea of drugs with her
Thank god needs some singing lessons shite
He's the tear that hangs inside our souls forever.
I actually started crying when I read your comment...that is exactly what he is to us all. Tears.
😭
😢best reply I need not look no further 😊
Best line and yeah, he is. I mean there’s another one for me too, but he’s also there
for real
i don't think i'll ever get over how beautiful this song is
yep im still here listening :'>
@@idontknowwhereimgoingbutim5238 it just amazinggg
You're not alone.
Definitely not alone in this.
“Maybe I’m just too young to keep good love from going wrong” is a lyric that rings in my ears to this day
I cried way too many times listening to this album... and Live in Chicago is killer. Glad to be able to listen to this in a place of peace now
Roger that Hillcar... btw, don't forget to turn them wheels against the hill or she might get away.. ;)
But too old to break free and run. Those two phrases combine to make the most profound line in music history imo
Too young to hold on, but too old to just break free and run..
Fuck
Imagine being the girl this song was written for/about. He’s gone but this song will hopefully live on forever.
girl is rebecca moore...
@@jureh1 it's about elizabeth fraser he quotes one of her songs in the lyrics of this song
@@darkcrystals98 It's about Rebecca Moore.
She really should’ve gone over
@@N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S. who is she?
forever jealous of anyone who got to see this live
I did. No way to describe it honestly just transcendent.
Me too
This live of this masterpiece..
I was in this room when this happened. I won tickets from either Q101 or WCBR. My band got booked for the *later that night* show, not on the same bill as Jeff Buckley. I actually met Jeff after his show as we were loading our gear into Metro. I made the mistake of thinking I belonged on the stage he just played on. It was SO REAL. Someday, there might be another *like* Jeff Buckley, but there will always be ONLY ONE Jeff Buckley.
Yes! Same. He would have been so incredible.
Whew... I almost forgot to watch this today
Have you watched this today?
♥️♥️♥️
Frank O'Connor lolol need this like I need my daily cup of joe.
maria evangie daily cup of Jeff
Every time I come to see this video I remember this comment
Jeff is one of those rare musicians who sounds even better live
Probably because he was more relaxed singing it live?
@@jimmyjoejeeter2366 He always sang his songs in different ways in every single live version. That was really awesome from him.
@@jimmyjoejeeter2366 or just different emotions on the moment…
That's because he can actually perform and cared about music, alot of "artists" lack that cause I don't think they really care about how they sound.
Stevie ray Vaughan comes to mind in that tier too
She really should've come over.
No brainer
Cuz it's not too late... This song has blown me away since hearing it in 2010. I think anyone can relate to the feeling of getting your hopes up. Wanting to see a very special lady. But then for some reason it doesn't happen. She cancels. Or you do. But then later on you both are talking, and just as easily you want to invite her over, since to you time isn't much of a priority when they are around. It warms the fucking soul.
Totally
Follow your gut
Lol
Cos it's not too late.
Barely 16, my friend had just got her drivers license and we blasted out of the suburbs. It was a summer evening and we went to the cool college coffee shop and Jeff was playing. I had never heard of him and the place was packed. His show, was electrifying, it was soo good, it rocked every one of us to our core and I handed this letter of gratitude to him on the break. He asked me and my friends to hang for a minute when the show was over and we all talked for a little while. My friends and I were utterly spellbound but he was cool like a gracious and magnanimous older brother. We were broke high school kids and he gave us each a tape of his album for free. What was he like? He was sweet, his energy and behavior was totally appropriate with 4 teenage girls who were clearly crushing on him. He had mesmerizing depth and soul to him and I recall he was kind, humble, open , genuine and strangely I had the impression he could see us and understand us.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story!!!!
Thank you! @@Jeannek4493
that's really sweet
That letter probably still exists somewhere, collecting dust and posthumous memories among his long-abandoned possessions.
I love this story. I wish there was a film about it.
"My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder. She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"........I can't think of an artist in modern music who has written better lyrics than these.
SAME
Bob Dylan.
Shes a tear that hangs inside my soul forever - is my favourite lyric ever. Reminds me of the one that couldn't be mine
@@krisw5840 Yeah. That one girl who remains special.
Ben Howard is a crazy good lyrical poet/songwriter. from his album I Forget Where We Were and forward is lyrical gold. also the lyrics to The Burren (which can be found here on CZcams) are insanely beautiful. just wanted to share this tip with a fellow lyrics enthusiast!
So many great lines in this song.
"My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder"
olgil "All my riches, for her smile as I slept so soft against her". Jesus.
+FrodoBaggins44 Jeses indeed..
+olgil 'She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever' always kills me
"All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter" is my favourite line. So powerful.
We've basically covered that whole verse then :P
The fact that the drums start on a downbeat in the middle of a bar is BEAUTIFUL. True musicianship. Buckley to me is the quintessential 90s Indie Star.
yes!
Jeff is timeless...
Starts on (up beat) 4 but the intent of what you are saying is spot-on. Couldn’t have had a better start.
Timestamp?
“She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever” Hits hard.
I would do anything to have seen him live.
I crave to see him live, it almost physically hurts that I can't :(
+sm7299 Would have been amazing!
Here to tell you I saw Jeff play live 3 times in NYC. Once at Roseland Ballroom then the Knitting Factory and again at the Mercury Lounge for a New Year's Eve performance. Seeing him live was as close as I got to having an out of body experience! Jeff was utterly mesmerizing to watch live and I feel so fortunate I got to see him play. They'll never be anyone else like him ....
Debra A. Sweet!!! Great memories!
Me too........ 😢
Everyone who loves this song . We can easily be friends
Abu Yandiev yes! Definietly, iF someone can appreciate this great artist has great taste and can be my friend too!
Abu Yandiev genius
Amaaaaaaazing
Really
Absolutely. That is IF they like the song. Now that I think about it, I've never shared this song with anyone mostly cause I know they wont like it. Sigh...
If you ever meet anyone that has Jeff Buckley in their playlist, that's your soulmate!
Sadly not,they suddenly disappeared ☹️
I'll keep it in mind !
Agree.. haha looking for one. 😍
Theres quite a lot of us out there. Some of us are twats.
@@rosiebottom3870 🤣🤣🤣
Easily one of the best songs ever written.
Definitely the most under-appreciated
Listening to this song hurts and feeds my soul at the same time.
+AccioFreaks Perfect.
+AccioFreaks The best ones do.
me too!
AccioFreaks best description
Very accurate. It's so bittersweet. But insanely beautiful.
"Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no one." Beautiful words.
it hurts to know that they weren’t really well known when jeff was alive, he’s a prodigy and now people are realizing it after years
This isnt true he was a big name in his time.
He was a big name for those of us who appreciate all that is beautiful. Just remember, the average person thinks Madonna writes good lyrics.
@The TamoraMay TRUE
@Saara i said weren’t really well known and his music selled yeah but one not close as much as now and 2 he literally was not well known
Sometimes the best artists are that way
The first time I ever heard this song I got the biggest eargasm I have ever gotten. I cried. I laughed. I got goosebumps. I didn’t know where he had left me but it was amazing. I still get goosebumps. His music is like pure sex if you could put it in chords and record it.
🤍
It's one of the few songs that made me tear up. That's how powerful beatiful this song is.
Beautiful and painful. So much incredible emotion and talent this man had
Same here
Damn
one of the best songs ever written in my opinion, his voice is the best
LOVE HIM.
Look up the band Nothing but Thieves. Great voice as well.
Mila Anouska His version of Hallelujah is also amazing
@@devilchild1017 if i get high by them is honestly a whole body experience
@@user-bq4xk2yh6i Agree there, try Particles
How can he express in 8 minutes more than what I'll feel in my entire life?
Because artists were touched by God to communicate and translate the human experience for those of us who can't
Maybe you're gay and don't know it yet
Ralphie Shostakovich great conclusion 🙄
Touché
thank god she didn't come over otherwise we wouldn't have this masterpiece
There's something beautifully addictive and destructive about Jeff. We never met, and we never will, yet I miss him deeply, all the way down to the bone.
This song in particular is something that you could only say it must resemble that which is considered divine in an universal sense.
Your so right ❤️
Que bellamente expresado está todo esto. There's something eminently ethereal in everything he wrote and sung. Unique among the unique, he is.
You know those types of videos or the question if you could bring a dead celebrity back who would it be. For the longest I had an entire list for that because art, particularly music speaks to the soul doesn't it. I finally settled for Jeff. It hurts even more thinking that he only had one album and some other songs. It's just unfair.
@@corinnae.7877yep- he has a posthumous album out but it was compiled by his mother and producers. i really wonder what that album would look like if he had the chance to finish it
His best song. Awesome harmony, structure, arrangement, instrumentation, lyrics, vocals, everything.
The best song of a already perfect album.
Yes.
One of his best by far but I think Last Goodbye is better. It's a matter of opinion like it is many times.
I like "Forget Her" too
don't forget "Everybody Here Wants You"
When he sings, "I didn't see you before, but I see you now..." it really gets to me. It's like it was too real to put in the recording. Wonderful performance.
+Aaron Palabyab It's about Jesus.
owenhunt of course not.
Yeah that line breaks part of my soul each time.
Yes, you can find all the live versions and listen to that bit! All slightly different. It actually hurts my chest to hear him laying it all out there like that. So powerful and such raw emotion. He liked her!
Thank you for saying that. I felt I was the only one who got it.
Very few musicians had the whole room dead silent when they would play. Jeff sure had that ability, taken far to soon.
Not me crying on a Saturday night, drinking tequila and reminiscing about discovering Jeff when i was 14. Just the emotion this man poured into his music floors me. Every. Single. Time
He was a generational talent 💔
This man is a legend vocally as always, but do not overlook his guitar playing - those chords he chose and played were absolutely gorgeous. RIP Jeff - thank you for everything :)
Agreed
However, the original record is better than his live performance for this song.
+ozan özteker Well, that's up to the listener :)
You're right, he had a talent for gorgeous and creative chord progressions.
Indeed, & as perfectly unique his playing is here, he also proved himself to be a virtuoso lead player (shredder?) at his early gigs, so all the more impressive is his dropping the chops in service to the music.
Currently lying on the ground in my room with my earphones. I closed my eyes and I felt true peace.
Yep all the pain disappears for a moment
I just discovered Jeff Buckley today having grown up a 90s fan. How in the world have I never heard of him until now? He’s unreal. You don’t get songwriters this talented often. May his memory be eternal +
Me too, I just discovered him last week. I grew listening to Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden but never heard of JB. He is awesome!
Blame rock radio that plays the same hundred songs every damn day for decades!
Loved him since the 90s. Check out the album Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. There are some incredible tracks on that.
The emotion he conveys through his singing is breathtaking.
Absolutely
Can't sing
The "it's never over" verse always breaks me. Miss you bud, 20 years to the day...
I'm pretty sure Jeff fell in love so badly that his heart was totally smashed and through his pain, he sent a message in every song we hear.
+Erika Escalona YES!!!!
+Erika Escalona He sends the same message I wish I could articulate...
+Erika Escalona In every song he says "I want you back"
Definitely.
Well put. I both want to have that same experience and want to avoid it at the same time.
i hate when i listen to a love song so good, so life changingly breath taking and not one person comes to mind
THIS! you get it!!
😂, but so true... To have loved that intensely was a blessing.
one day they will have faith friend
My favorite line in the whole song is "Lonely is the room the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in. Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him." Just so much room to assign your own meanings. I look at it like this, he let go of someone cause of the weight he realized relationships can bare on a man, he was young and like all young men had to let go of someone they may have truly loved. He says burning in the corner is him pretty much, the window was his exit or way out, and he had to take it, because the rain outside or exit from the love was his only solution to burning alive.
It's what everyone wishes they could write. Those lyrics are the most wistful, longing and romantic that can exist. Simple as said.
That's not how I see it mate. The room is nice and neat but betrays what's he's really feeling. The rain coming in, are like his tears wetting the room carelessly and the burn is the flame in his heart for her. There was miscommunication, they had a fire together, but it wasn't meant to last because both were too immature at the time to admit it was truly special something more. This song screams so much regret. -from another musician
@@noyb6200it’s all about interpretation. neither of you are wrong
I can never focus on something else while listening to Jeff’s music. It’s literally impossible. I’ll always end up becoming mesmerized and lost in his voice and music.
britt dino yes!! So true
same. i was reading and this started playing. impossible to focus on anything else
I'm on a 14 day binge again
@@hopelove6658 it’s been a whole week of me listening to his music and watching his interviews. His voice will echo for all eternity. Jeff is forever! Timeless ✨
@@AtinyElring his voice. Just wow.
I love how he enters in a state of trance while he sings. He is so emotionally real when he sings that it drains him at the end of the songs. You're the best Jeff, always will be!
Amanda Pacheco like he's performance is going on to forever and we're viewers of an intimate moment.
Drains him lol
Heard his van morisson like lover's do cover? Insanely fearless.
Yeah it drains him... no pun intended
[
his voice is so fragile and touching i’ve never heard and felt anything like this before
He’s still alive doing the same thing just not in this dimension.
How DARE those waters that took him away
maybe angel belong to heaven
Eventually all things merge into one
and a river runs through it.
The river was cut from the world's great flood.
It runs over rocks from the basement of time.
On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops.
Under the rocks are the words
and some of the words are theirs
I am haunted by waters
@@benbattams1511 Probably didn't feel beautiful lol
With all due respect to Jeff, he was foolish to go swimming fully clothed. If he had stripped off he would probably be with us today.
@@JMDOOM Agree totally. His lyric in this song is prophetic. "As their shoes fill up with water"
He was reportedly wearing boots when he got in the water, and they filled up with water and kept him under.
Tragic and massive loss.
I'll bet he's in heaven thinking "yeah. not my best decision"
his voice is like honey
I would've come over.
Immediately. And never left.
in a heartbeat.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Where can I meet the kind of people who love this as much as I do?
Seriously...
I wonder that all the time.
Lover, come over. :)
@@hopelove6658 - Otw!
@@TheChance1991 i am waiting love uhr
Tough to find an artist like Jeff Buckley, whose live performances sounded even better than the recorded ones.. Music nowadays needs guys like him..
Yeah have you heard Grace?
If you like Sigur Ros, their live shows are incredible, especially 1999-2003 in my opinion.
O'Brien heima
Vishal Goswami
Agreed, if you want to see good quality live shows from them, Heima is the best.
I still prefer their earlier performances, despite the poorer quality videos.
If you've never heard Richie Kotzen I suggest you check him out he's definitely on par with Jeff Buckley
I miss the 90's so much
I literally say this to myself every day. Coming of age at that time was magical. I see these kids today kicking around in Doc Martins and faux perfecto jackets and I've just got to smile and laugh at it all.
ditto so grateful for the memories tho...
Me too. :-)
Sare Bear me too, I'd love to go back
This comment made me cry. I miss it so much that I don't think I will ever get past it. I didn't lose anyone ... I just lost that time of my life. Unbearable.
Happy Heavenly 57th Birthday Jeff Buckley November 17 1966 - May 29 1997
Been listening to this guy for approaching 25 years, and I'm still blown away every fucking time I do it.
'my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder' - fucking breaks me in half every time.
The guitar intro alone is lovely
Lovely and lonely.
Necro Orcen I know what you mean dude! Guitar you tubers don’t usually do lessons of this kind, it’s usually shred scale runs or bar chords... this type of playing is just felt out by the player. Jeff’s guitar playing at the intro is just ear melting those chord changes man... just such a nice added sound to make the song and performance that much fuller...going to learn this right now lol
Hi!I agree... the intro is perfect!!
I would love to learn it...any idea about the chords?
I've got the entire gig on DVD and something I've noticed over time, as a developing musician, is how no mistakes are made. It's a flawless performance. On technical terms it's as good as it gets folks x
Duh...
Que esperas para compartilo xd?
His mother is CLASSICALLY TRAINED. FYI
I keep coming back and breaking my heart all over again by listening. This song is addictive, sad, and strangely comforting.
He reaches in and literally rips my heart out of my chest, but I cannot stop listening no matter how badly it hurts. His voice is mesmerizing...and you can't take your eyes off of him while he is breaking your heart. One of of a kind, that one.
aw well said
Indeed. Well said. This song literally tears me apart.
when i listen to his voice i feel like i am dreaming
+katie whittaker very accurate!
A masterpiece. It’s actually terrifying just how good his voice is live.
That guitar bit where it drops suddenly hits deep
I must’ve listened to this song thousands of times over the years, and yet here I am, listening again, shivers running up and down my body and fighting the urge to burst into tears at the sheer beauty of it all. Truly, truly mesmerising and haunting and beautiful and sad, all at the same time.
Yes and you can return again and again and it's simply timeless. He was so pained to get it down prefectly and so it remains prefectly, still.
Don’t fight the tears. You will never win that battle when it comes to listening to Jeff. Just submit to the beauty
This mas was pure music
How do you mis spell man? Like where did that "S" come from its like 5 inches away from the "M" on the keyboard! HAHAHA :P
iinfynite from the n you mean..
Lol
iinfynite and the “N” is a whole button away from “m” I guess shit happens. Lol
@bob dunson :D
I hope that when I die I wake up at a Jeff's concert.
Every time I hear this I cry and get emotional
You mean you get emotional and cry
-just kidding :)
Same
What a beautiful human being. Jeff, why you left us so soon? So terribly sad.
"So quick bright things come to confusion."
I came to back to this video because I was thinking about how cool it would be to hear a collaboration/jam session between Jeff and Prince.
I think it would be amazing...I hope it's happening somewhere.
The water called his name, you'll see him again one day, don't fret...
The best die young. He carried the genius and angst of his Father...had Tim lived, so too would have the divine Jeff. Why cannot we keep our divine geniuses alive?
amelia nolde You've used the right word, it's not enough to say Jeff was a beautiful singer, he was a very special human, a person with a rare soul
"I didn't see you before, but I see you know"
"broken down and hungry for your love, with no way to feed it" - I felt this .
It’s elation it’s anguish
One of the best love songs ever
The best version ever!
Melancholy, pain, softness, fury, rain, deep and eternal ...
How can he even sang this song without having tears streaming down his face, is a mystery.
He cries in his soul
The tears come out of his mouth instead.... 🕉
Greatest voice in all of rock. Freddie was the best, but Jeff’s ability to express such pain and emotion is unmatched. Only people that come close are Chris Cornell and Robert Smith.
Very true, and Eddie Vedder singing Black
Layne
Eddie vedder too imo
Do you like elliott smith?
I love it when he adds the extra lyrics to it, shows the still writing passion to it, like a journal
"She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever....". s there a better lyric in ANY song? I doubt it. What a loss to human kind.
Paul Desborough
There is and for me its "a kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder" still the same song mind you lol
Mick Broon it's my favorite too!!
Paul Desborough "i sliced his fucking cockles with my long and shiny blade" tenacious D, kickapoo
Adam Liddle You're a true romantic.
Mick Broon I'll take em both !!
This is music. A supremely talented musician playing to a crowd silently admiring him and being the mid 90's, no damn phones up in the air. Everyone there is living in the moment. RIP Jeff. Only the good die young.
I miss this man and I've never even met him
His voice is both angelic and ferocious. Wherever you are Jeff, I hope you're still singing!!
The thing that is so magical ( and out of this world) about this song is how every word that he sang and the chords are perfectly arranged, as if it was a personal hymn of our own insecurities. I don't have words, the beauty of it is almost undescribable I don't care it still makes my chest hurt I'm gonna break...
Makes me cry 9 times out of 10. Mind blowing.
Inner Hierarchy I think you are totally right. His work is amazing, mesmerizing, I fell in love with music/life when I listen to his songs. I think we can barely imagine the emotions occurring at the same time while he was creating his art.
"a personal hymn of our own insecurities" - yessss
Indeed fellow buckleyans!
“A personal hyme of our own insecurities” is exactly the description I was looking for. Listening to this feels as if I’ve opened my heart raw for everyone to see.
His death is the most tragic loss when it comes to music.Rest in peace our dear Jeff...
My ex hubby introduced us (Jeff and me , his music i mean) and after 1 song I fell in love and I understand allot. I mean that I understand his pain and demons. Got the same shit in my life/youth. I love his music and to me he's an angle 🕉❤
Έτσι είναι...
I'll never recover from this song.
The single greatest loss in music, for me at least. He existed as a brief window in time, a thought or a memory of better days to come.
"'Cause it's not too late". I remember thinking exactly that after she left.
makes me sad to know I'll never get the chance to see him live
...and they say you can't strum an electric the way you strum an acoustic guitar..if the great Jeff Buckley did it, no one shall stop us.
#buckleylegend
I’m convinced Jeff would have been one of the greatest artists of all time if he hadn’t passed away. He is one of the most talented male singers I’ve ever heard and he definitely would have been pushing boundaries too based on his other work.
This song is exceptional in every way, but the lyrics really top it off for me. Jeff was a phenomenal lyricist. Utter poetry.
I had never even heard of this guy until today! I came across his recording of Hallelujah by accident and now I can’t stop! I feel his voice right in my heart! The range, the soul... I feel like I don’t deserve music for not knowing of this legend before today.
we miss him a lot. Those of us who listened to him.
Get his album Grace. AMAZING
lonely is the room
the bed is made
the open window lets the rain in
Jeff Buckley is one of those never appreciated enough in his time. A truly amazing artist. I say that because his music is like seeing a beautiful painting being created in real time. It’s a journey you will never forget. RIP Jeff
@@ohno4772 "sweet love" creo
Why is everyone I like dead?
everything and everyone dies. and it hurts i know.
I'm not dead bud :)
altertheskyy1 everyone knows that. I know what they mean though. The same is true for me.
The best stories are the tragic ones..
TheHilikus89 Oh my god, yes why are all the good people gone?
Jeff Buckley is one of the greatest musicians/lyricists of all time. Even with his popularity and praise, he is still criminally underrated.
He will never be what he should have been when h was alive. The era wasn’t sharp enough to appreciate this genius
he’s hitting that shit.
MANNN WHAT
I will never get over this song.
When he sings this song, it's almost like his voice is making love to you in a way.
every note
Well said
It really is. I feel it in my body and soul.
Yes! Every single note is like a sweet caress.
every word, every line in this song is amazing and perfect. touches the feels
I wish I could’ve experienced his voice and presence live. There’s a little hole in my heart knowing the world didn’t get to see and hear how beautiful and talented this man was.
Tell me all about the first time you heard this song. Because I’m sure for everyone here, the first time you heard this song was like an awakening of your soul. You didn’t know people could sing like this. You didn’t know pain could be felt in music like this. So tell me....i was in a car with my best friend, she played this and I started crying but I also got goosebumps. I was forever grateful to her. To feel a song so deeply in the bottom of your soul to the point that it reaches in and grabs you. We were driving from the Everglades. The sun was setting. I couldn’t believe someone could sing like this.
Beautiful experience! I don't remember when I first heard it sadly, but I remember the feeling.
@@dbo514 they say that emotions last longer than moments so I believe you.
Walking home with two of my mates at 5am after a night out. All listening together and the song just hit me it. Such a beautiful song and such a shame he lived only to a young age.
@@HottieHojbjerg it always hurts to think we lost him so soon. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
You can see at minute 7:54 when he finished the song how emotional he is involved with it. He was purely immersed during it that when it's over he's like getting himself back together... wish you were here, Jeff...
Oh.....the quivering as he sings, this is coming from a very real place. It's almost like we shouldn't be watching. And the the slight head tilt while the audience applauds, a moment of personal reflection? He allowed us to see into his heart. I've heard this song many times but watching it now, I'm going to need some time to let it all settle.....
His voice offers me the chance to speak when I'm completely out of energy to do so.
Jeff Buckley, Chris cornell and Thom Yorke are my favorite 90s
Amen
