  • first heard this in Vanilla Sky. Looked up Jeff Buckley after. Then I went to FYE and bought the cd "Grace". Haven't stopped listening to since

  • Moi aussi je l'aime...une belle authenticité. Heureusement pour nous, il a existé. Grâce aux vidéos, ce n'est pas notre Last Goodbye.

  • One of the most beautiful songs I heard in my life! You're eternal 

  • is this song about men developing crushes for other men ?? can anyone help me here ? peace

  • @chupakiAGORA Lol no, what made you think that?

  • @AlistarStan probably the two dudes kissing in the video.

  • Jeffs Mom You must be so proud and so sad I wish he was here and I didnt even know him just love his voice. Thank God he lives on in his music and that vibe he had and has xx

  • ...ohh hoh.. you didn't know at ALL!

  • Anyone else think he's really handome?

  • I love how songs keep the emotions and passion for eternity. What he puts across with that voice of his, man I almost want to burst into tears. May these beautiful feelings live on :)

  • Unfortunately for me I couldn't listen to any better song right now. Perfect voice on perfect words.

  • @loizillona Such a nice comment.... and so true.

  • One of the best singers in music history, the best in the 90's!

    RIP... Idole!

  • perfection..

  • Beautiful words... one of only a few songs that gets me choked up.

  • hard rock with flannel shirts

  • Timeless, Timeless, Timeless, Timeless.....

  • 29 tools....

  • Many times I have heard this at a funeral. Heart aches every time I hear it and I love all my mates who have passed before their time.

  • Massive part of my life this song. Still I struggle to blend beautiful music with sad lyrics

  • @crazyhorse1178 i know what it feels like.

  • i'm in love with him and i don't even know him... i can't explain what his voice does to me. i think it's just beyond words! Jeff is definitley one of the greatest artists this world ever known,i'm glad he shared some of his rare talent with us before he passed away...

    R.I.P

    i love you 

  • @karin15B your comment is going to make me cry. but it's happy crying. i'm in love with him too

  • This music is so of its time, yet forward looking. So nineties, yet, today. This sounds as good as it did 17 years ago. I'm sure it'll sound as relevant in another 17 years. Stunning, stunning song and artist. Jeff Buckley is dearly missed.

  • Why do I bother listening to other music? I mean, all I need is right here.... JEFF BUCKLEY LIVES ON!!!!!!!!!

  • fuck you justin bieber, because of you, people can not abriviate this legends name

  • @sTapleEVA Right? We also can't abbreviate Jack Black. :(

  • @sTapleEVA

    fuck the Jonas Brothers too.. haha

    Such a shame that kids nowadays idolize these JB's instead of Jeff Buckley, Jeff Beck , etc..

  • Beautiful.

  • From biography: Jeff apparently hated having to do this music video--& if you look at the last few seconds, when he's glaring at the camera--that was for real >_< . . .yeah, superfan

  • Comment removed

  • @owenhunt I understand what you mean but, but no it's not. In Merri Cyr's Jeff bio she talked about how pissed he was at her (who i believe played a major role in the production) and generally at having to do the music video ~ not sure why though

  • @mojopin93 Just because the concept of a music video sailed against Jeff's every sensibility doesn't mean he shied away from the task of creating some worthwhile to fling into the cesspit of MTV culture.

    I can take this to PM if you would like.

  • my heart breaks EVERY TIME i hear this song! It reminds me of the loved and lost in my life and the early demise of poor Jeff! :(

  • WoW! To the person that called me a pussy on my comment about my grandmother passing you are a complete scumbag! The rest of you were very nice and thank you. Merry Christmas everybody....except for the 2 year old that left that nasty comment....you eat shit!

  • @wesdan126 they just wanted some attention. don't pay them any.

  • @wesdan126 good for you, congradulations, you posted something sad, and now people on youtube feel sorry for you! man, you just got everything going for you! want a cookie for your incredible impact on youtube history? you inspire me man! sooooooooo awsome. i just wish i could swap lives with you, that is how cool you are. your sooooooo special!!!!! and your feelings are hurt! i feel for you man, sometimes MY feelings get hurt too! god you inspire me, your so awsome. revolutionary

  • He could tell a story with absolute feeling and make you believe it. This just wasn't a song. It is truly beautiful and such a waste of a very talented life.

  • the pissed off look he gives at the end is genuine...he really didnt want to do the video. he hated commercial world, at the same time as wanting to connect with everyone in it.

  • @sssaraaahhh well said.. ;)

  • This is a voice you just keep on coming back to... just like Tim's, who brought me here a while ago. They each have the knack to get you high and excited or quiet and thoughtful or tearful...

    Their connection with their listeners is ethereal.

    They are not dead.

  • artistic and beautiful.......brings back alot of memories

  • This video is so randomly 90's that it cracks me up. Reminds me of how much I love this man and his passionate music. Reminds me too of when I'd see him live as a young'un. My friends lusted after Jeff and I was enamored with his bassist's thighs .....

  • Good stuff.

  • Wish this wasn't your last goodbye, Jeff

  • a girl sent this to me recently my best friend think ill jump off ma bridge or walk the highway

  • i want this played at my funeral

  • how utterly beautiful, the exquisite pain of loss..

  • Amazing JB song. Completely horrid, uncreative, stodk-photo-worthy video. It's a shame that Jeff's record label didn't hire a real professional to represent his artistry better.

  • @rcameront 80's bands all used to use random imagery in music videos to allow for focus on the song. Besides, if you can't see meaning behind some of the imagery used here then you won't have searched hard enough.

  • @owenhunt i know. your reply says it all.."80's"..."random"..."sear­ch hard enough"...all elements of poor visual work. i am extremely familiar with the meaning of jeff's songs, which amplifies how horrid the video is. did you go to film school at nyu or usc? just curious.

  • @rcameront I most certainly haven't attended either. I'm not saying this video is awash with imagery but certain sequences do amplify messages. Tighe rubbing his eyes denotes an awakening; a prevalent theme all through Jeff's work. Jeff's caressing of the moon signifies acknowledgement of how relationships wash into, and out of, your life just like the moon turns the tides; the caress is important as it shows he is at peace with this knowledge.

    This doesn't mean to say I...

  • @rcameront ...that I wouldn't change a few things. For example, the image of flowers blooming and then wilting shows the fragility of human relationships. I would change this metaphor and use a baby's cot in a darkened corner as the last shot, signifying that losing your other half leaves you as alone as when you entered this world.

    You get the jist. I don't think the video is a complete vacuum. :)

  • HAY QUE ESTAR EN PEDO PARA QUE NO TE GUSTE ESTO AL MENOS!!!! ME FACINAA DIOS MIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • He's just so... Raw... It amazes me. Even his videos are just amazing. I Cried when you died, and wished with all my heart for it all to be a joke, and you come out with more of your AMAZING music. But, this is our last Goodbye.

    R.I.P. Jeff Buckley <3

  • @SagenBrooke . Hi, My name is Ian Brooke. Just read your comments.. Grace is my absolute favourite album of all time. Every song, including this one emotes the entire emotional spectrum, for me. It still pains me to think he (and his band) only made one official album, but it proves you don't need longevitiy in the music business to become a legend. Jeff Buckley made a bigger impact on music than all these disposeable wannabe's of the 00's. Best wishes, Sagen Brooke.

  • the listener is just as responsible as you say. But musicians are not, and have never been gods- despite what people may have alluded to in Rolling Stone magazine. Like regular people, some of them are very good at what they do, but just like everything else- many/most of them are on or below par. The quality of music and listener hasn't changed, just like the quality of life hasn't changed. The quantity of people documenting/consuming it, however, has- hence the "change".

  • This song takes me back to my senior year of high school. I loved it then, so full of emotion and longing. I've never seen the video, that's how old school it was, back in the 90's when videos didn't overshadow the music. It's beautiful and tragic and I love my radio station for playing it today!

  • That he died so young, for no apparent reason with only one album under his belt still makes me sad. I've never known a time in which he was alive, and I hate that.

  • @lladsbid No apparent reason? Dude he drowned

  • @Ogumomaru I'm well aware of that, but the exact reasons for him drowning, or even being in that river in the first place, are bit of a mystery.

  • @lladsbid

    took a random swim, while waiting for the rest of his band to fly in... it is strange I'l agree with you there !

  • @lladsbid He was there because he had swim there before and decided to take a dip before his members arrived, and he drowned because a tugboat passed by and it hit him on the head leaving him unconscious and then he drowned. What's mysterious about something that you can even find in wikipedia?

  • @Ogumomaru okay, one, he waded in fully dressed for no apparent reason (hence my use of that term) which is fairly odd and no real reason has ever been given for why. Two, if anything, he was pulled under in the wake of the boat, not hit on the head. Even that, though is just a theory and the real reason he drowned has, again, never been fully explained. His death is, on the whole, more than a little odd and very much shrouded in mystery. its not suspicious, it just doesn't make any sense.

  • @lladsbid Jeff's manager, Dave Lory, thinks he left his boots on because there were rocks/glass in the riverbed. The fully dressed part is kind of strange ... but he was known to live in the moment. I've read that two boats went by, in fairly quick succession: a barge and a tug. It could have just been an extremely bad set of circumstances ...

  • @imkeylime Of course a family is not obliged by law to make the contents of the coroner's report known to the public. I certainly wouldn't if that had been my son and he had died of something other than drowning. In any case, no amount of speculation will reveal the truth. ;)

  • intro reminds me of champagne supernova. :D

  • jeff looks like somebody who havent leave his room for a long long time,, and you know, it was probably that.... ..isolation suck, but it pays.... god bless you jeff...

  • so much better than john mayer

  • It really was his last goodbye

  • I can actually feel my heart breaking into a million tiny pieces while listening to this.

  • @AronofskysKumo true

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF NICE MUSIC MAN :D <3

  • I would venture to say Jeff Buckley is all I ever needed. There's others I really love but Jeff is the most beautiful musical being to ever sing a tune.

  • These lyrics describe exactly what I'm going through...

  • Varför kunde vi inte få behålla denna röst och människa <3

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEFF <3

  • RIP today u would had turned 45

  • ive said it before and i'll say it again, a walking poetry in motion

  • I really dig 'A modern tale" by Steve katz in the video responses.Just beautiful!!

  • Another one of these artists might just save rock n roll. Marketable, pop friendly and oh so talented.

  • Remarkable voice.

    Tim Buckley fan, now discovering Jeff.

    They both sound as if they sing just for you. 

  • SOO MANY ADDSSSSSS

    SOO ANNOYINGGGGGG

    YOUTUBE SCREWIN UP

    big time..

  • @CrimsonComedian19: My thoughts exactly. Can I quote you on this one?

  • @CrimsonComedian19 Didn't he drown?

  • @CrimsonComedian19 Didn't he drown?

  • A movie is coming out next year that started filming in Aug. in New York starring Penn Badgley as J. Buckley, who currently is in Margin Call. I might have heard of Buckley once with Hallelujah briefly, so I listened to this song and fell in love. So, so sad that he is gone and so, so talented.... His sound, his writing, so heart-filled and soulful. Just my opinion, (as I can somewhat relate) that he was "fractured" maybe from his father not being in his life and then dying. God Bless.

  • Only the good die young, all the evil seems to live forever. Up to Irons! But it's all about Jeff...

  • Dont say too many bad things about Beiber or Gaga. It could always get worse. Plus you don,t want an army of teenie-boppers ready to assasinate you. Remember all those death threats?

  • holy shit! i had no freaking clue that jeff buckley is dead! wow i love his music but did not know that. and now i feel like a moron. that's why he looks so young in all these videos - because they were 10+ yrs ago! damn i am an idiot

  • Why are you talking about Lady Gaga when you should be listening to this beautiful piece of music?...

  • man, everyone bashes lady gaga. she's actually really talented, even if she's a fame whore.

  • Movie is f'n stupid and are you just as stupid to have Handler try and act. Im gonna look at who directed and produced this and I am gonna personally come to your door and slap you with a white glove.

    I came to this looking for Jeff Buckleys Last Goodbye so you can understand how victimized I feel. And Reese...shame on you!! Have a good day.

  • umm love the song but is that another dude that is the love object in this video? like around 3:52 mark it looks like 2 dudes kissing.

  • @happycat777

    he/she near the beginning was necking a him/her as well. very ambiguous! quite striking when you realize it.

  • cheers for that jeff

  • Jeff is not hot. He is beautiful, and that's what I truly believe.

  • @mzgreendayfan i totally agree. 

  • He was just like his songs. Like a dream. Sweet, sometimes terrific, dark, mute but loud and immortal. It's like he would sing just for me.

    As long as I can listen to his music, he will stay alive.

  • fantastic!

    

  • Kid 1: You know what JB stands for?

    Kid 2: Justin Bieber?

    Kid 1: No! Jeff Buckley!

  • Last winter I was driving on the expressway and I decided to call my Grandmother because she was sick and in the hospital, not doing well at all. I talked to her for a little bit and told her how much I loved her and said goodbye. When I hung up the phone, I turned up the radio and this song was playing.....I knew right then and there that it was gonna be the last time I talked to her and it was. I love you Grandma Bonita...this song always makes me think of that night. ♥

  • @wesdan126 i am very sorry for your loss, The Lord can help you through it :) God bless

  • @jeffskid96 i assume by lord, you mean this god among men, jeff buckley.

  • @incubusbuckley no i mean Jesus :)

  • @jeffskid96 but...jeff is jesus

  • @jeffskid96 Thanks! :)

  • @wesdan126 es demasiado conmovedor se me puso la carne de gallina con tu comentario !!

  • @wesdan126 Pussy.

  • @23MarcoMejia Now you are one pathetic person! You don't say such things..

  • @wesdan126 I had the same expierence with my Grandmother not this song but another.... I am glad that you shared that particular moment with your Grandmother, Jeff and Yourself.... I hope all is well with her passing... I know its hard! I think I needed to read your post today!

  • @DarbRox Thank you....today makes 1 year. Merry Christmas everyone.

  • @wesdan126 that is one of the most moving comments ive ever read on youtube, bless you for sharing...

  • @cluckfuster Thank you. Today makes 1 year she's been gone. Merry Christmas.

  • @wesdan126 All I have to say, is I've read some comments people were saying to you and they were really rude and wrong. :L I just thought I'd let you know that if she had to go, it's good that it was with Jeff Buckley singing. <3 His music is beautiful.

  • Now that is what I call music....his voice is so soulful and he gave us everything he had......Thank you Jeff  RIP........Hallelujah......

  • piss off, david cook. it's this god of man i'm looking for.

  • You have no idea how many musicians out there could change the world today if it wasn't for the audience... Today music is more a tool of partying than listening, the audience has gotten more and more stupid! They don't appreciate the work as much as the result. It's fuckin sad that a man can pour blood, sweat and tears into a piece of art and get nothing in return because the medias focus is on the attitude and life of whoever puts out music, and unless you'll suck a dick, you wont go nowhere

  • @oliverandm Unfortunately things have been headed in that direction for a long time. In the late '70s Roger Waters was inspired to write Pink Floyd's "The Wall" after he spit on an intoxicated fan who was screaming throughout a concert.

  • @oliverandm first time ive seen someone on youtube explain exactly what the music industry is.... theres still hope i see!!

  • @oliverandm One thing that Youtube and social networking has done though is show how many talented people there actually are out there, in addition to all the riff-Raff. You just gotta look a little deeper than the radio stations.

  • @oliverandm Mr. Buckley lived the lyrics.... must live them to appreciate!!! He "is" the best!

  • @oliverandm buddy today's music is exactly .... and i mean exactly the same as it was 80 years ago .... the only difference is that today you are exposed to 99.9999% more than the bloke would have been the 80 years ago .. hence the diff .... as for the sucking dick part i agree in full however that isnt new either ... jeez when you think about it ... Elvis had to "suck dick" at some stage (i don't mean literally) but one way or another to achieve what he has ...

  • @Bozzy83

    I disagree - don't misunderstand me, you seem like a nice fella, but music today and music 10 years ago wasn't the same. Today all this shallow "10 minute made" music rule the front of your Itunes and stores. This is also the reason why i always find respect in most musicians that wont bow under to mainstream pressure - or why i love world music! I don't mean to be arrogant, but music is poetry and poetry comes from the heart, not greed and love for the $. But it's all taste i guess

  • @oliverandm Indeed. But the market for music has changed substantially in the last 10 years. Digital theft and online production have both reduced what were "mountains" to "molehills" (please pardon the turn.) and allowed a new panel for musical critique; people who have no claim to fame, other than wanton acts of strangeness, are elevated to unprecedented and ridiculous social-status. And the media it is all presented upon is simply turned on or off without required wait period.

  • @oliverandm I just hope you understand where i am coming from as well ... as my angle is never most liked however is the unfortunate and ugly truth.... people are a nostalgic species to the bone i think.... just think 10 years ago .... the same people were saying today's music (80"s) is not what it used to be 10 yrs ago ..... (some of the best songs of all time were written on that pretext" hence.... my personal opinion is that real "modern" music was annihilated somewhere around the late 70's

  • @oliverandm lol thats not true at all

  • kooL :D

  • Kiss me, please kiss me,

    kiss me out of desire,

    babe, not consolation

    This was the last song I played to someone when we knew it was over between us and it was the last time we were meeting. We didn't want to admit, but the song said it all. Brings back flashbacks of that day.

  • The sad truth when you realize you will never see this man perform live.

    feels bad man :(

  • @hurrdurrbleh If you haven't seen the "Grace Around the World" DVD set that came out in 2009, you should buy it. It's the next best thing to seeing him live. Your local music store probably has it, and it's usually in stock at Best Buy and on Amazon etc. I bought it as soon as it came out, and it didn't leave my DVD player for weeks. I immediately went back and bought copies for my son and two of my friends who appreciate good music. Peace.

  • Hey I just started a channel and covered two Buckley songs..check it out! Thanks.

  • Jeff Buckley had such an amazing voice.. Have a listen to our tune 'Behind the Clouds'?

  • Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.
