Very hard song to cover but very well sang. And to all the critics...... try singing this one as well as that. There aren't many vocalists on the planet that can. Gold star amigo.
Pffffff, we really don't mind his legs or arms! This is a very expressive song.
They performed this song good -ok it's not Jeff, no one can replace him- and it's not an easy song to do. I know jeff's Mum was very moved by their performance.
good cover, don't know why there are haters out there. only negs i can give are the weird movements of the singer, its like your orgasm'ing whilst singing
wow people it's a COVER.....please tell me when has a COVER ever been better than the original? And correct me if i'm wrong but isn't a cover meant to pay tribute to the original artist who created the song? There won't be another jeff buckley, no one will ever have that voice I'm sure the singer from the cinematics knew that. Either way his attempt is admirable and they did a pretty good job. Stop bashing him because he doesn't sound like Jeff...that's just stupid.
Rufus Wainwright does Across the Universe better than John Lennon. Jimi Hendrix does All Along the Watchtower better than Bob Dylan and last but not least JEFF BUCKLEY DID HALLELUJAH BETTER THAN LEONARD COHEN!
This is amazing, buy other stuff by this band is NOTHING like this at all, their other stuff has no passion, the singing isn't all that....this is like thier one moment of brilliance, the rest it booo-ring
You guys are really amazing. I'm a huge Jeff Buckley fan, we've covered some of his stuff too. But the sound you've produced (especially live) is amazing-I'd buy it anyday :D You guys got a myspace or anything? I'd love to hear more of your stuff.
that's not the point dude, if you can't sing then fkin don't! esp Jeff Buckley man! What more embarrassing way to expose bad singing AND presumptuousness?! Horrible performance...overall just pure horrible
Absolutely wonderful! When an artist is so passionate and moved by their medium it is nothing short of beautiful. That is the purpose of art...to touch, to move, to inspire...and everytime I listen to Jeff Buckley I am moved and in awe of his talent. The Cinematics have just made a new fan.
Looking at peoples comments its mixed, I think the arm movements are good with different camera angles medium shots and close up's would help alot. Great voice I think. great song good cover well done.
Singer shows how much he adores Jeff Buckley, look how emotional he gets with this song. Nicely done, I love to hear cover trying actually sound exactly like Jeff. Awesome job
I'll give him his propers! He has a brilliant voice. At times...he tried a bit hard to sound as Jeff...which isn't the point (be original while still maintaining the man's passion...I suppose is the closest I can put it). But...I like his voice enough. It's amazing Mary got to see them perform...what a beautiful paying of respects to a genius!
perhaps some of you skeptics should know that jeff buckley's mom happened to catch them during this show at sxsw. in tears afterwards, she said that no one had ever done such justice for one of her son's songs.
the singer is a fuckin poof. whats with the stupid arm movements and the singer is also putting too much effort into it. lay back relax and do it all again.
Some people make strange movements when they really get into something. And what do you mean 'too much effort'? This sounds bloody brilliant. The closest to Jeff Buckley's voice/delivery that I've heard in a very long time.
Do you know Jeff Buckley? Have you seen footage of him performing? He didn't deliver his songs in a 'relaxed' way. It's called passion, and if that seems gay to you you must be a very boring person.
this is trying 2 put as much effort as he can 2 sound like jeff. why not just do it your own way? there's a better cover on youtube. look for it. passion isnt trying to sound like jeff. the facts are: this guy tries too hard and his arm movements are retarded. quite frankly i havent seen anybody EVER getting so much into a song that they wave their arms around whilst singing. if u want passion watch Jeff perform. i wouldnt like 2 see this guy singin standing up.
I like the new style of dancing, chair dancing, is it?
By the way, good cover. Almost as good as the real thing.
