i love your new avatar Laura :D

Bumping this thread just because I've fallen in love with Jeff's music recently :D

Ooooh..another jeffy bump, eh? EXCELLENT...... i got my friend listening to JB..he loves Lover, You Should've Come Over... :)

 

YAY!! i created a Jeff Buckley convertee! haahh :lol:

ive heard of JB but never listened to his songs but i just got Last Goodbye and I'm in love, this guy is beautiful, I cant believe that he past away, How did he drown??

Nobody knows :cry: he just disappeared and was found a couple of days later if I'm not mistaken.

 

Gosh, every time I listen to his 'Grace' CD I get tears in my eyes :/ such a loss.

 

*sighs*

that is so sad, such a big loss.

This thread deserves a bump :D

Jeff Buckley

 

Um... I've always heard of this guy... what kind of stuff does he play? I heard he plays folk, or folkish... something like that... if so, is there any recommendations on songs to check out?

He's only the greatest artist ever? Well, was... I watched a documentry about him today and I started crying :cry:

 

Anyway... his father was more into folk (Tim Buckley), Jeff was a rocker... soft rock, actually. The kind of music anyone would love.

I suggest you download 'Grace', 'Everybody Here Wants You', 'Hallelujah', 'Last Goodbye', 'Lover You Should Have Come Over', 'Dream Brother'...

 

He was amazing. I think he's the only artist who ever touched me so deeply with his lyrics besides Travis.

as well as music it helps to find out about the guy, his biography and his music and his life up to 1997. Try a google search on Jeff Buckley, its very interesting :)

 

Fact: Live at L'Olympia CD was taken from an audio cassette found amongst Jeff's personal possessions after he died :cool:

Mmmk, will do...

and he was singing Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love as he went for that fateful swim :cry:

:stunned:

Didn't know that :o

Only found out about this one earlier today.

If only he hadn't gone down that river... :cry:

 

Another random fact; he and the guy he was with were actually lost and didn't know the way back to the studio so they stopped by the lake to relax for a bit.

And the river was so dirty and full of trash but Jeff went in anyway... the only reason that stretch of river was not a recognised accident black spot for swimmers was simply because no-one who lived there would've dared go in.

This could've saved Jeff :cry:

:(

:cry:

 

that´s so sad...

It's very sad. He is one life taken to early.. :cry:

It's dissapointing that people don't know who he is, because he was such an amazing artist and anyone who wasn't aware of him or his talents is truely missing out. :(

And Elliott Smith, for me at least.

Lilac Wine is one of my all time favourite songs...

 

"I lost myself on a cool damp night

Gave myself in that misty light

Was hypnotized by a strange delight

Under a lilac tree

 

I made wine from the lilac tree

Put my heart in its recipe

It makes me see what I want to see

and be what I want to be

 

When I think more than I want to think

Do things I never should do

I drink much more that I ought to drink

Because it brings me back you...

 

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love

Listen to me... I cannot see clearly

Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?

Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love..."

 

:)

:cry:

Jeff Buckley was beautiful.

Jeff Buckley was beautiful.

 

Very much agree. :cry:

i find his music inspirational sometimes.

 

sometimes it makes me smile :)

Jeff Buckley is beautiful! An excellent, excellent artist. Brian, listen to everything that you can get your hands on! He won't disappoint! Definitely one of my faves.
