I've loved Jeff Buckley for ages (before he died). I'm reading his and Tim (his dad)'s biography at the moment' date=' it's really interesting. I especially love 'Grace' (the song), 'Dream Brother' and 'New Year's Prayer'. His music is so haunting...[/quote']

 

Well compared to you i'm a new Jeff fan.

Did you ever get to see him play?

I just finished reading 'Dream Brother' last night, and you're right it is really interesting, so heartbreaking though.

I've got to pick that up... :shock:

I've got to pick that up... :shock:

 

wot the book?

yeah... :)

yeah... :)

 

:D yeah you should have a look for it.

It's really well written and researched. Set out so its a chapter about tim (jeffs dad) then one about jeff, then back to tim again and so on. so their lives are set out next to each other.

 

And while you're at it have a look at 'A Wished For Song' by Merri Cyr. If you havent already got it, its a book full of beautiful photos she took of Jeff and little stories about him told by his friends. It's really, really lovely.

WOW!!! :o Thanks..i'm going shopping for a particular book this weekend, so i'll look for these.... ;)

I read a bit of the book about Eva cassidy thats soooooooooo sad :(

A little bump for the jeffy thread-

 

Lover, You Should`ve Come Over

(Jeff Buckley)

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

And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong

But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

 

When i'm 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

And 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

Oh will I ever learn

 

Oh 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 will never 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's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

 

Well maybe i'm just too young

To keep good love from going wrong

 

Oh... lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late

 

Well I feel too young to hold on

And 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 well i'm waiting for you

 

Lover, you should've come over

'Cause it's not too late

 

My God i love those lyrics... :)

Everybody Here Wants You

(Jeff Buckley)

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss

A singing smile

Coffee smell and lilac skin

Your flame in me

 

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss

A singing smile

Coffee smell and lilac skin

Your flame in me

 

I’m only here for this moment

 

I know everybody here wants you

I know everybody here thinks he needs you

I’ll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away

 

Hmm, such a thing of wonder in this crowd

I’m a stranger in this town

You’re free with me

And our eyes locked in downcast love

I sit here proud

Even now you’re undressed in your dreams with me

 

Oh, I’m only here for this moment

 

I know everybody here wants you

I know everybody here thinks he needs you

I’ll be waiting right here just to show you

How our love will blow it all away

 

I know the tears we cried

Have dried on yesterday

The sea of fools has parted for us

There’s nothing in our way

My love

 

Don’t you see, don’t you see?

You’re just the torch to put the flame to all our guilt and shame

And I’ll rise like an ember in your name

 

I know I, I know I

I know everybody here wants you

I know everybody here thinks he needs you

I’ll be waiting right here just to show you

Oh let me show you

That love can rise, rise just like embers

 

Love can taste like the wine of the ages, oh babe,

And I know they all looks so good from a distance

But I tell you I’m the one

 

I know everybody here, well, thinks he needs you

Think he needs you

And I’ll be waiting right here just to show you.

I love those lyrics too!! :D

I love the picture lisa
