  • The Transformation of Orpheus O cruel river, lift him up! Do not drown, don't snuff this one's fire... transform this gentle Orpheus into living light that joyful heals all our hearts! Did he reach for musical notes in that Mississippi sun and fall short in the eddies of derangement and confusion? Too good to live? Again? How many magic-men of song Ripped away by jealous devils, in deaths so wrong? Ah, but he transforms, changes light itself His soul freed in darkened river-stealth...
  • i am going back in time, saving him, and then marrying him, end of story.

  • wow I thought it was nina singing for a second

  • I was married on 10/22/11 and this was our First Dance song...

  • I just LOVE both versions of this song...Nina and Jeff made these words come to life in such a different but equally beautiful way...ahh....

  • Everytime I hear this song I fall in love with Jeff Buckley even more. Sadly missed to this day,he breaks my heart with this one. if you ONLY knew Jeff how much we all love and miss you <3

  • You truly were an angel Jeff. I hope you can see all the things people have written for you, all the things they will write for the rest of our (dare i say) natural lives. Such a rare gift. I hope you have found it again, wherever you are!

  • Beautiful

  • I lovee Jeff Buckley from the first moment I heard him and everything he does. My most favorite is just his incredibly expressive voice and his guitar. Then I can really hear just what I want to hear.

  • Miss your beautiful spiritX

  • I could listen to this all day. If only it didn't make me want to cry everytime I heard it!

  • Wow- I didn't think anyone else even knew about this song- learned it from an old Nina Simone album. So beautiful. I was such a fan of his dad when I was a teenager . . . what a beautiful choice.

  • god he is amazement...

  • An even better version than Nina Simone's original.. <3

  • touching heaven...

  • Ethereal...heavenly voice...I miss you!

  • love this man too, yeah and all his songs as well, he is soooo under-rated, or perhaps not nearly known enough! HE IS TOTALLY ADDICTIVE, or is that just me?

  • @hannah4440 addictive, dependent and I don't wanna be cured.

    

  • There are no words. Well just one...Perfection.

  • jeff buckley is my religion.

  • beautiful musicians, artists and souls ....long after they are gone should serve as a reminder of why we are here

    why we love, why we long and i truly feel the meaning of "life" is this indescribable cosmic, connected beauty

    jeff was a mirror, held to stars so they could all see how beautiful they look from down here

  • @billyvassi What a lovely post, your words are beautiful.

    Peace,

    Kellar

  • you can play this at my funeral, Jeff plays this with just perfect balance of vocal/insrumental. Usually the original is best but JB just rocks. Sorely missed.

  • Miss Nina Simone. Jeff covered Ms. Simone more beautifully than anyone could have imagined.

  • truly magical..

  • Does anyone know who wrote this song?

  • @Griwhoolda

    Nina Simone, although I am not sure.

  • @donbakero Thanks. It was her version I heard frist; so I've been wondering ever since. Hmmm...did Jeff Buckley record this? Maybe I can look for a tracklisting.

  • @Griwhoolda Nina Simone wrote it. It's been my favorite of her songs since I was 16 (in the early 60s)

  • @JazzLark Thanks for the reply! :)
