Jamie Cullum - Lover, you should have come over

[Frutoses]

People are acting like Jeff Buckley invented this song. Bitch, please.

[weezerfootie]

drummer couldve done better man.. he was too laid back.. all the love, but like do a bit of a triplet thing wouldve been better or just fkin CUT LOOSE yeah

[DylanMillikin]

As a JB fan I find it quite enjoyable to hear people cover his songs.

[intro69end]

Great attempt!

[nat00ben06]

Although I kinda like Jamie Cullum, he lacks almost everything Jeff Buckley used with ease. So it's not a fair comparasion JC will never be able to do much justice to this song. In fact no one in the world should try and record a Jeff Buckley tune!

[jekisha8]

Where is the ending?

[Valse92]

Delicata,dolce,magnifica...Jef­f avrà sorriso...

[meritz59]

4 people need to get their ears checked...

[NanaN495]

Buckley did great however Jamie's voice fits this song so perfectly

[0Triano0]

No conocia la version original de Buckley hasta que lo vi por aqui en youtube, pero vamos, creo que le da mil vueltas a la original, aunque se que el merito es de Buckley,faltaria mas, por haber creado esta canción.

Ya van unas cuantas versiones echas por Cullum de diferentes canciones, que segun mi criterio, que superan a las originales.

Para mi Cullum es uno de los mejores talentos musicales de este siglo al menos y no solo por sus versiones,claro está.

[jbwooten89]

For such a talented artist... he did a horrible job on this song :(

[walterdelinfierno]

Jeff Buckley debe estar revolcandose en su maldita tumba : (

[analandia15]

esta cancion me hace reflexionar tanto love jamie cullum :) saludos desde mexico

[hectorjam47]

great performance :3 Jeff would be proud of it

[caitttiemarchi]

I like this version better. Sorry guys.

[azanell1]

this is a good interpretation, I know a boy who sing it better though.

[pieman4545]

jeff knew how to do a great cover as does jamie

[thethommie]

best ever heard



[KaleenJeffs]

Jeff's my main man, like he's the best ever. Jamie did a great redition!

[BeatlesFan1962]

buckley songs are very hard to cover, a nice attempt but didn't quite reach it for me. Jeff just has that soul chilling voice :)

[ArwenStellaDelVespro]

Jeff is Jeff...

All the covers are bad!

[itnt445]

@ArwenStellaDelVespro Why even come here if you aren't gonna be open to it? Like really, listen to it, he does a good job.

[weepingguitar23]

I love Jeff AND Jamie...this song just fits both of them so well...what a great song! :)

[KaleenJeffs]

I love, love, love, love Jeff. With all of my heart. I think that Jamie did a wonderful job covering this song. You go Jamie!

[meliketacos428]

fucking beautiful.

[midsmack]

Yeah, I just noticed that - "It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon my shoulder" and so on is totally dropped. Unfortunately he doesn't have the range for this song, and the bridge (I agree, the most gripping part of the song) is left out. I don't know why he would do this.

[MrSnapply]

@midsmack he is trying to do a different style, but I agree, wtf is up with dropping those lyrics

[trumpetking11]

This is a good cover, but Jamie Cullum left out the "It's never over..." part, which is totally the best part of the song!

[ldav0702]

hmm..... interesting how "music fans" can't appreciate an artist's interpretation of a great song. sad, actually. HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JEFF BUCKLEY, HE'S JAMIE CULLUM!!!

[pjramsay]

@ldav0702 i agree, i think jeff would have enjoyed this and did so many covers himself!!

[qbavo]

genius!

[CLBOO6]

Jamie does this song out of his love & admiration for this song, not to outdo anyone.

[44b6574y]

its not bad, its just that jeff buckley was jeff buckley...respect for trying though!

[JG111088]

If you like Jamie Cullum, then fine. But if you genuinely think he is as good as Jeff Buckley, you are an utter retard. Jeff sings every word from his soul. This fuckwit couldn't sing with less passion or feeling if he tried. He should concentrate on writing a song fractionally as good as this.

[wildbunch]

@JG111088

Someone who has the gall to call Cullum a "fuckwit" and says, "He should concentrate on writing a song fractionally as good as this" should, at minimum, learn the definition of "fractionally" before using the term.

Moreover, any clown who drinks rose ( fyi. correctly spelled rosé ), has so little taste in the finer things in life, they should refrain from commenting on music altogether.

[JG111088]

@wildbunch I thought I ought to point out to you, seeing as things such as wit and joking are evidently not your strong suit, I don't actually think that someone who considers this man to be talented should be banned from listenting to music. After all, I was brought up to respect others' opinions (however ridiculous said opinions might be). I just wanted to try and point out (if it wasn't already obvious) how stupid your post was.

[dueds]

@JG111088 have you heard the song gran torino which jamie wrote, i dont think its possible for anyone to sing with more passion than him when he sings that, i agree this version isnt as good as jeffs' but jamie has an amazing voice and always puts originality on his covers

[philvoc]

Sorry, folks. Jamie has soooo much more grit and raw emotion in his voice. He sings all of the songs on Twentysomething with the same vocal dedication. He emotes intense feeling with every word. (Although this version, it seems, is a little different than the one on the album. I recommend listening to the Twentysomething version. It's even better.)

[katien256]

I tried listening to Buckley's version, but to me it just didn't compare to Jamie's. I love his voice and his amazing piano playing. It just adds to the song. Not to mention, it's the most beautiful song I've heard him sing live.

[Vileeh]

I wish he did not skip the last part.

Those are by far the best lyrics in the song :(

My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder

[MZylfia]

I think I love this 'version' more because I like the voice of Jamie more.

[cardejah]

i wish he would have not skipped that verse. that's the best part of the song.

[MrsLittleSister]

Just wonderfuLLy.<3

[Marylill]

this music is orgasmic ... xD

beautiful

[Maedbh]

Jeff couldn't possibly be overrated and this version isn't a patch on the peerless original. It was sung with true passion.

[steffs87]

you can't cover Jeff....

[anapintodebarros]

Very good song! Beautiful voice.

[unjaded2]

this is vocally much better to me than the over rated buckley

[TheSindakit]

@unjaded2

over rated????

dayam, thats all ill say is dayam

have you no taste?...............

[lukehaywood]

hes great isnt he? have you heard his dont stop the music cover? better than the original

[DeniseFlutschi]

He skipped the best part.

[decemberhotel]

Will someone please tell Nicole that I am in Love with her.

[MigdalaVered]

Yes.

How shall I go about completing this task?

[decemberhotel]

I told her myself and what do you know she loves me too. So all is well in the world today. Well atleast my small bubble. Can't speak for everyone else:)

[MigdalaVered]

Yippy!

I wish you well. :)

[saffyraz]

its very rare that cover versions are better than the original, however, this is a great example of this.

[Ystorica]

With all due respect to Jamie Cullum, but it is not. The passion and the vocal range of Jeff Buckley is so outstanding. But I appreciate Jamie doing this great song so it won´t be forgotten.

[lecomtedemaldoror]

@Ystorica you gotta realize, that whoever covers a song, does it out of respect, not to compare him/herself with the original performer.... so just chill... you should be happy that such a talented jazzist took the time to cover this song

[Letondrian]

How is it that song lyrics can reflect your own reality so accurately?

[alexthemod1]

@Letondrian because their written by real people

[KocykMania]

Jeff is better then him.

[tonehunter27]

Jeff was an untouchable vocalist. But I have a lot of respect for Jamie, he always does a great job on covering songs with originality.

[magicstar911]

i think its great, but jeffs version is unreachable...

btw i hate it, they play jamie on radio he's far too good for those faggots! :(

[haenberg3]

Jamie you rock! I love the way you re- mix the songs you do. Yr originals as well.

ONE OF MY FAVS..........

WISHING YOU THE MOST IN ALL YOU DO.

[mikepl92]

left out the best line in the whole song!

"my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder"

[jessikarus]

Fuck off, noone should ever try to cover Jeff Buckley.

[youbelieveinkittyism]

i don't think it's that fantastic, but the lyrics are pretty good. hopefully he writes them.

[morrisonkasing]

the song was written by jeff buckley.R.I.P.jeff,angel&king of voice

[hottypiollina]

THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER!!!! Well other than all of rest of his songd hehe....

[FibreOpticLlama]

That could be because it's written by Jeff Buckley... haha :P

[angeldave1990]
