ive never been sure why jeff did what he did and im still so sure he would have been so much more but so glad he left a footprint may all the gods take care of him!
I'm a fan of Jeff Buckley. Being a true fan also means that you can be constructive and not always worship their work just because "they" created it. So on that note I must say that this recording is a bit ropey. I can't help but think that Jeff didn't really have his heart or head in the performance. The vocals are a bit flat and lack passion compared to his previous work. That is just my opinion so please don't hate. Jeff deserves respect which can also mean not wearing rose-tinted glasses.
@jayandchrissy1111 no worries, no one's going to hate you just for having an opinion (or so I hope). I guess Jeff had his highs and lows, just as we all, and this version was not made for general listen, AFAIK. Jeff seemed to be a perfectionist, and with a lil more time on his hands, he would have made terrific version of the song. Having said that, as a fan, I genuinely admire whatever he did on this one.
The beauty of Jeff Buckley is his inateness to give a song just what it needs to make it the best it could possibly be. From the beginning of this song to the end every second was perfect.
@Laurenwasinyourface I realised this in singing the two interchangeably in the shower and noticing the unreal difference in composition. Jeff Buckley apparently recorded several versions of all the 'Grace' songs too - it takes a hell of a musician to write some music to apply lyrics to, only to reverse the whole process over doesn't it?
@owenhunt yeah, like when I'm writing I can never really like re do the process when I have an idea and a set of music and lyrics in my head its impossible to re do it all! definitely appreciate jeff's skill to leave the other versions behind.. also a huge fan of jeff
Man, Jeff is such a hero to me. As a guy in his mid-20's, who's also an aspiring singer/songwriter, I'm in awe of his ability to be so open with his deepest feelings, and sing about love and heartache. He showed me it can be very masculine to be in touch with your inner femininity. He showed me the power of a soaring, crooning voice singing with fierce passion about the woman you love, or the woman you lost. Thank you, Jeff. My music and I owe you such a debt.
@andpyramids I owe him a debt, too, though I'm not a musician (or a guy). When I first heard Jeff, I had writer's block. His lyrics, and the places he'd take his voice to realize them, helped me past it somehow. He wrote and sang with so much feeling and conviction: I wanted to be brave like that. I'm getting the sense that he's done that for a lot of people ...
@andpyramids i think my greatest admiration of him is his ability to express his deepest feelings. i'm an open book, but to really express it so poetically as jeff does is just near impossible. i mean unless someone as talented as he was to write a song. but really. his ballad "Lover you should've come over" is just incredible. his choice of words, his structure and his feelings all wrapped into one song. incredible.
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.

@jayandchrissy1111 I actually prefer the rougher version that's on sketches for the same reason, so I agree with you.

To express one's deepest feelings is not so easily done, but to express it through voice the way he did it. Is the greatest part of him.

That's the best version of this song, lyrics and music....
Jeff was such a genius
"So go on without you
Out of the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else it comes to
I know we could be so happy baby
If we wanted to be"
Sad and true !!

Either version is breathtaking. This sounds a little Neil Youngish.
