When asked how he would like to be remembered he said: "...I don't really need to be remembered - I hope the music's remembered."...Well..14 years later after his death it definately is!
@dethra very well said, as a new father myself I am damn sure my son won't listen to this new age garbage, the classics are called classics for a very good reason my friend
@kaumiit2 That's like saying any song with a 4/4 drum beat, is copying another song with a 4/4 drum beat. There's only so many "beats" possible in music. I guarantee you that there has been a song written before this one with the same beat. The chord progressions, and lyrics are what, for the most part, sets a song apart.
there is no limit to this mans talent whether doing a cover or an original piece he takes it to another dimension. i couldnt even begin to pick a favourite as this man is pure goldust. music that comes from the heart so its not surprising that not everbody likes it but remember they must have chose to listen to the video in the first place. his cover of just like a woman is so emotionally evocative as is all of his music. he is where he belongs amongst the angels earth was never good enough!!
@Josh1031420 Can anyone explain to me why all your hear on the radio anymore is BS? No emotion, no melody, no nothin'. If this is what our world wants to listen to, I'm moving to another world.
@consecratedinnocence Because the unthinking majority of America would rather listen to music that consists of getting drunk, high, having sex and partying and watching television shows like jersey shore or 13 and pregnant. It's a god damn shame people don't know what real music is, welcome to the end of the world my friend
I listen to extreme metal and just have always loved Jeff Buckley from as long as I can remember. He died doing what he loved.. Drinking, Partying and playing music R.I.P
@JamesandKaris he had no alcohol or drugs in his system when he died. so he didnt die drinking...or partying....he died singing whole lotta love in a lake.
@Jorsalfar I'm one of those Rap/Hip-Hop idiots and this is one of my favorite songs by this guy. Of course, I am not talking about Soulja Boy or Lil Wayne, but I am a huge Hip-Hop fan.
@dariushenry88 Then you at least know when something's really good. Well, i didn't mean to cut you all under one knife as we say here, but i meant those idiots who JUST listen to rap and hiphop.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. The old rock stars all came out to hear this incredibly talented man perform his musical landscapes of emotion. He was an original.
I'm happily (so far) married for 5 years, the only jibe so far is when I put my headphones on and listen to J Buckley). My wife hates how much love his music and how much I get lost in it. Hope it works out! LOL! Good luck all@
R.I.P to your father and bless you for doing so for your father! This song always touches me deeply. It reminds me so much of past relationships. What a great thing to do for a loved one. *smiles huge*
I had this song going through my head as I left on a plane, unwillingly, back home to Adelaide from Melbourne; leaving behind the guy I had made love to. He told me later that Pearl Jam's "Last Kiss" was going through his head as I left. :S
There's a tone to this I really dont think I've ever heard before. The way the guitar comes in, like off another planet, and then the bass... once it fully hits, it's like... what is this? Strumming arrogant like that.
And then he drops in, with that voice, so buried underneath:
Just take this, and then I'll go.
ya gave me more to live for
I guess he knew a kind of humility we didn't. That's how I prefer to think about it.
@coolsguy123 people that pass on through their taste an essence of superiority really bother me, nothin' with you personaly though - that would be absurd, just like the phrase "real music".
i'm a singer songwriter and i've lacked inspiration. i always turn to jeff when i need a spark of inspiration. just got done highschool, and it's almost frightening to how perfectly this describes a relationship i was in with a girl.
jeff buckley, hands down, one of the great singer-songwriters of our age.
Jeff and Tim Buckley Bruce and Brandon Lee it seems that there is a hurricane that these men are the eye of and it winks on and off with their brightness shining for a little while for our adoration
What an inspirational singer/songwriter/musician! Such a shame to lose him...he had such control of his vocal vibrato, and such original song compositions. the haters just don't get it...So sorry for them in their caves...
great song whenever i go on youtube this is the one song i always listen to non of that justin bieber everyone shud listen to this legend.sad no lifers clicking that dislike jeff buckley!!!! all the way
when are people going to be able to listen to his songs without mentioning his death? do we mentioned lennon's death each time the beatles play? shit.
@balancedesign2010 because he was taken so early ... lennon conquered the world first before he was snatched from us ... Jeff's conquest was only just beginning.
I played this on my dad's funeral almost 2 years ago (16/12/08) much to the bemusement of fellow mourners. It still haunts me, yet it reminds me so much of my wonderful father. RIP Dad and of course Jeff Buckley.
@sarahmyers, actually sarah keep this just between me and you right insiders have told me (record label) management have said that he was in a highly charged emotional erotic situation that envolved jeff masterbating whilst having a tie around his neck that was also atached to the door knob,and yes he was having a massive wank and then knock the top off but forgot to untie,real tragedy
@saltypork3 so true me and my partner(woman) are constantly inspired is such that we cry after we make love whislt listening to this song mmmk ,its like time stands still and we share the same heart or something you know, sorry jeff i missed your birthday (what to you care your dead, you prick hung urself)
