I read that Dream Brother is dedicated to a friend of his who was thinking of leaving his pregnant girlfriend (with twins?). The song is about that abandonment which was very close to the bone for Jeff, for obvious reasons.
Best lines: "Don't be like the one who made me so old, don't be like the one who left behind his name". Chilling stuff.
I don't think there's ever a time when I'm not in a "JBuck phase." I love everything about him and his music. *sigh* This song hypnotizes me and awes me at the same time. The lyrics are fantastic! <3
When he signs he doesn't think "I hope I sound good." He thinks "I hope I don't make every one in the audience explode with the awesome power of my voice."
I love that he had such a great band of brothers with him. I'm happy that he had friends everywhere who supported him and believed in his visionary music. And though he didn't become world-famous, he knew he was appreciated by the music world--no doubt. He was successful on the levels that count without the hollowness of fame without a unique gift that so many "stars" have.
He's amazing. Did you guys know there are 3 movies coming out about him? I didn't think he was THAT famous. In fact, no one I know really knows who he is. I'm happy about these "biopics" as long as they do him justice.
I find it sad that, as a woman.. classically trained as a vocalist, I can't hit the notes that our beautiful, iconic Jeff could with the same tone and feeling. He truely was a legend, imbued with the talent and spirit of his father.. even without the influence of Tim.
Goddammit. Jeff died ten days before I was born. I can't believe I've been born into a world with the likes of Rhianna and Justy Beber. I play guitar and occasionally sing and I would actually give up everything just to have the smallest bit of Jeff's talent. Fuck my generation. Being 14 sucks.
@Funeralapolis Thank god people from my generation were lucky to grow up with the kurts, Jeffs, laynes and shannon hoons of the world had the good forward thinking to pass them on to future generations!
There is a place for the Biebers of the world.They are there to remind us that every 15 years a REAL musical revolution takes place and is even more appreciated after one being absent for so long. Mark my words..music is almost due for a golden age of TRUE talent. fk ur thumbs up don't want em.
@heyave Woah watch out people, we've got a badass over here!
You're a dick bro. What the fuck makes your music taste, or musical idols any better than anyone else? TBH, if you're lumping Kurt Kobain in there with music to pass onto future generations I can't take anything you say seriously.
One true Scotsman is bullshit. What the fuck is true talent? You've got that extra knowledge have you? YOU know what it is?
Fuck you and your bullshit prejudice. Fuck you and your bullshit ideas.
@imhamish Even funnier is how that modcon invalid took what I said as an insult or as me having a musical opinion turns me into a badass.
Wait...it gets better. He obviously knows Kurt KKKKKobain's work well enough to judge it seeing as he has the ability to spell his name correctly. No sarcasm I promise.
@heyave -.- missing EVERY point. Badass is taking the piss that you're SOOOO hardcore you don't want thumbs up. You must be tough! You even SWORE about it!
Causal link isn't causal, a typo would say nothing on my knowledge on his MUSICAL endeavours. And anyway, following your logic still doesn't work. I can't spell your name but I still know that you're a KKKKKunt.
It isn't an opinion, you push it as objective truth, makes you a dickhead :)
@Funeralapolis come on..everyone is talented in something. and if you love to play the guitar and to sing and you share that with your life I can imagine you can make a good thing. I just think you have to give up wanting so badly to be like him cause you can just be yourself.
one of few actually good songs by buckley. This and grace and two or three others. Hallelujah is the most overrated crap ever... Well I also loved it when I was a kid, then I grew up and realized conans version is much less juvenile ;)
But this is his best song by far, I really enjoy it :)
@mikaelhs Juvenile? that is an odd comment. It's just Jeff his character is free and child like thats who he was so it comes out in everything he did. I don't see the need to criticize people for being themselves?
it's surprising that to this day not many people know of this man, but at the same time think it's absolutely beautiful to be given a chance, as somebody who deeply admires his work, to share it in this way.
jeff would be huge today if he lived. his voice and songwriting was amazing. his first and only full album blew me the fuck away. you can't deny shit like this.
As the song progresses he takes off like a 747 and in the process drags his band, the audience and the venue up with him to incredible heights. Absolutely amazing.
...shame Jeff's 'wailing skat' is missing from he start of this - he shows amazing feel, soul and artistry an' it's one of my favourite ever Jeff moments... :0 (. ps. If anyone wants to see it - I have the DVD so can stick it up here... :0 ).
Thank You, Jeff your voice has opened my heart again..If anyone is reading this remember the anniversary of his death is on 5/29 lets request his music on the radio lets get his music out to others to discover his amazing GRACE.
It's like Muse, if Matt Bellamy wasn't an egotistical dumbass. At least, that's the impression I'm getting based on this one song, but I haven't really started listening to Jeff Buckley yet
Thank You, Jeff your voice has opened my heart again..If anyone is reading this remember the anniversary of his death is on 5/29 lets request his music on the radio lets get his music out to others to discover his amazing GRACE.
@xfugitx I think it may be a way of stopping the performance being "removed" because of copyright issues. A complete version could be removed,.. like yesterday.!
Dont be so quick to judge such issues..unless you have uploaded something yourself and had it removed.
I'm a guy and a huge fan of Jeff's and I can tell you that the day I find a girl who's as passionate about Jeff's music as I am is the day I fall in love.
@cbhitman1 I would qualify if I weren't probably old enough to be your mother---I found him in 2010 and have been entangled in his web ever since. I search the web for new versions and collaborations with other musicians. Watch the one of Dido's Lament where a conductor, I think, who didn't know the American singer's work, says that Jeff's vocal on the classic aria showed the conductor that he himself knew nothing about music. That is unheard -of! Good luck with the girl search!
I'm 53. Heard alot of powerful Blues, Soul & Classical music. But when i heard this version of "Dream Brother" on the 'Mystery White Boy" album....I was blown away. It was so powerfull the tears were streaming down my face...even after 20 plays. It never fails to move me to near chocking....Still the same now. I have to say Jeff buckley is the most emotive singer I have ever heard. Period.
@negativecreepx creepgirl ya when I first saw him it was live in Austin, Tx @ waterloo rec in 94' and yes darlin I was intrigued by his looks, not in a romantic way cause I'm not gay. @ that time everyone in my circles were digging him. That's great you love him for his music, me to. You're offended? Introduce me to the person who has gone through life without be offended. Get over it, I don't know you so why worry about my comment it wasn't meant to be rascist, sexist or any other ist.
I heard and feel in love with his music way before I ever saw what he looked like..... to all you dudes who think woman like him because he is "good lookin"...yes, woman can be as shallow as men in the "check em' out" department .... anyways- he WAS good looking, so WAS his father, big deal, it's their MUSIC is what was amazing! So how's them apples? ADIOS!
i want to see the five people who dislike this video/song. what does distract you men? if there is more impressive further song or singing style, make us known...
My buddy asked if I could've been any musician in his prime for one year. I thought Robert Plant, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix,Paul McCartney Stevie Ray Vaughn. I finally told him Jeff Buckley he gave me a hard ass high five that left my hand stinging soon he became my BEST friend cause he got it!
@nat00ben06 nice....sadly I've yet to meet someone who "got It"....Although I have friends who admit he was good, they just think it's weird that I have this spiritual devotion to his music. Ha oh well. The day I find a woman who loves Jeff Buckley like I do is the day I fall in love.
@cbhitman1 Amen brother their some out there....of course there is but I'm floatin on that same cloud. Jeff passed to young I wonder if the chicks dug him because of his unbelievable, undiscribible talent or because that thought he was a good looking guy. The one that says talent goes to the top of my list.
Vocals and guitare are of course awesome, but drums ans bass are fucking awesome in this song and give sucha particular atmosphere... Fucking awesome !
i think, if i had the chance to prevent one musician from dying at a young age, i would choose jeff out of all the great artists that left this world much too early.
i belive that he would have created soooo much good music, if he was still alive
Jeff's music is ethereal. It has kind of an effervescent quality to it. That may sound weird but its the only way I can describe it. It's like an angel singing.
@yankeesfan465 He also refers to drowning in Grace and Nightmares By The Sea. Considering these references, and much of his other lyrical content, it almost makes me wonder if maybe he wanted to drown...no matter what the truth is, it is a tragic loss. Jeff Buckley will be always missed and never forgotten.
@yankeesfan465 I've heard that that line may be a reference to his father's ashes being scattered at a beach. Someday soon, I'll read the book Dream Brother about Jeff and Tim. I'm so enthralled by the family's unique gifts..Hope the movie that's in the works will do them justice, though unless it's a documentary how could it?
@alman53 Who cares! Everyone has their own unique sound...do you have albums that have sold? Maybe you sound amazing too. Life is too short. Appreciate our differences.
@alman53 I know what you mean.. unfortunately this dvd does not have the best sound or image quality, but it is the only footage of Jeff that the fans have access =/
I was there. I was there. It is still on my mind. Thinking he died on my birthday's date....May, 29th, makes me crazy. Believe me, supeultramegaunknown, you're right to say I was 9... dang, I should have been born about 10 years earlier..., just for this my life, will have a sense.
He is an angel, he was an angel, looking at him has been just a dream.

and fall short in the eddies of derangement and confusion?

Ripped away by jealous devils, in deaths so wrong?
Ah, but he transforms, changes light itself
His soul freed in darkened river-stealth...

@bussande Um, as much as this song is amazing, plenty by The Smiths, and I know JeffB would've agreed with me on that one

My buddy asked if I could've been any musician in his prime for one year. I thought Robert Plant, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix,Paul McCartney Stevie Ray Vaughn. I finally told him Jeff Buckley he gave me a hard ass high five that left my hand stinging soon he became my BEST friend cause he got it!

@nat00ben06 nice....sadly I've yet to meet someone who "got It"....Although I have friends who admit he was good, they just think it's weird that I have this spiritual devotion to his music. Ha oh well. The day I find a woman who loves Jeff Buckley like I do is the day I fall in love.

@cbhitman1 Amen brother their some out there....of course there is but I'm floatin on that same cloud. Jeff passed to young I wonder if the chicks dug him because of his unbelievable, undiscribible talent or because that thought he was a good looking guy. The one that says talent goes to the top of my list.

i think, if i had the chance to prevent one musician from dying at a young age, i would choose jeff out of all the great artists that left this world much too early.
i belive that he would have created soooo much good music, if he was still alive
and in addition, i could have seen him live -.-

Jeff's music is ethereal. It has kind of an effervescent quality to it. That may sound weird but its the only way I can describe it. It's like an angel singing.

@renthead15 'effervescent' is my favourite word.

@yankeesfan465 He also refers to drowning in Grace and Nightmares By The Sea. Considering these references, and much of his other lyrical content, it almost makes me wonder if maybe he wanted to drown...no matter what the truth is, it is a tragic loss. Jeff Buckley will be always missed and never forgotten.
HoichiTheEarless 1 year ago
@yankeesfan465 I've heard that that line may be a reference to his father's ashes being scattered at a beach. Someday soon, I'll read the book Dream Brother about Jeff and Tim. I'm so enthralled by the family's unique gifts..Hope the movie that's in the works will do them justice, though unless it's a documentary how could it?

Jeff - words cannot express. I was at this concert. A great loss to the current history of music. He was a poet.

I wish you had the intro to this song where he basically warms up his voice going from deep voice to his falsetto...so amazing

I wasn't born.
Well, 17 days after, I was. :)
I really really like Jeff Buckley. His mother has the same name I have.
He's dead on May 29, 1997, I'm born on May 30, 1995.
(Oh and sorry for mistakes, I'm french and I'm only 15...)
