Jeff Buckley was a musical genius.

 

He is one of my all-time favourite artists, and if he hadn't tragically died so young, he could very well have become the best artist in the world.

 

Download 'Grace', 'Hallelujah', 'Last Goodbye' and 'Lover, You Should've Come Over'. They are all absolutely amazing tracks. In fact, I urge you to go out and buy his album ('Grace') right now.

All right, I will check out those songs soon. I haven't had much time lately.

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..."

 

:)

 

I believe this was also performed by Elkie Brooks and Nina Simone years ago :)

the part when Jeff sings "when i think more than i want to think"... i get goosebumps :o it's amazing :)

listening to it now :D

Morning Theft is one of my favourite songs by Jeff.

When he sings "Meet me tomorrow night

Or any day you want

I have no right to wonder

Just how, or when

You know the meaning fits

There’s no relief in this

I miss my beautiful friend.."...it always makes me cry. I don't know why. :cry:

bah, reading these lyrics makes me cry :/

I´m downloading the Grace album and Mistery White Boy album too :)

But still go out and buy it!

OMG ! why did I take long to download Jeff cds ? they´re awesome !

Welcome to the Jeff Buckley world, my love :D Sit back and enjoy yourself :)

 

Bless him. The gorgeous little fella... :cry:

 

Where did you download MWB from? I can't seem to find the entire album in a decent quality...

I got it on Soulseek Maya :)

Ahh Soulseek hates me :( :lol:

 

Thanks though :)

What are your favourites so far?

Only heard the Grace cd...

 

so far, Grace and Last Goodbye (I already knew this one, from the Vanilla SKy soundtrack)

Grace is probably the best album, ever. So amazing.

 

MWB is a live CD :) I personally don't like live CDs as much but it's Jeff so it's still all good :cool:

*bumpsie daisy*

Jeff Buckley

 

It's been seven years since he left :cry:

 

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

:( :cry: I love that song :(

 

:cry:

He's so beautiful in this picture.

Buckley love! Man, he's great.

.

His death leaves me forever saddened. I listen to him daily.

.

i don't think he was TOO beautiful. :/

^^^That avatar is excellent

His death really was such a terrible tragedy. He really was a musical genius, with perhaps one of the most perfect voices you could ever hope for.

 

I think it's a huge shame that not enough people have heard his music. Whenever I mention him to someone they just look puzzled and say "Oh right... so who's Jeff Buckley?" It really does irritate me sometimes.
