I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all
Kiss me
Please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe
And not consolation
You know it makes me so angry
'Cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye
Did you say "No, this can't happen to me"
And did you rush to your phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying
"Maybe... you didn't know him at all"
You didn't know him at all
You didn't know
The bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Offer signs that it's over
It's over

This song - and the album - breaks me. Every. Single. Time.
Godspeed, Buckleys.
c.
edit - Bill, please do not play Patty Griffin's 'Goodbye' after this. I don't think I could take it.
this album buries me every time too…feelings - wow I am not burying them and neither did Jeff.
What a loss for the world.
What a fantastic album "Grace" is.
... just slightly overrated, check this ;-) https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2007/jun/02/jeffbuckleynothankyou?commentpage=1
Wow - I remember reading this pile of dreck the first time around - it hasn't improved with age!

Jude Rogers is just jealous
Did i forgot?
Maybe cause i was more into the father, Tim, than the son those last years.

Every time I hear it that moment comes back like the hot kiss at the end of a wet fist.
a lot of projection and shadow issues going on there. Maybe she fell in love with Jeff for the wrong reasons in the first place.
marvelous... love it...
3 days ago is too soon!
In retrospect, this song is incredibly profound... such a tragedy...
Greetings from Tim Buckley Official Trailer

Named after the Duncan Sheik song, this is one of my alllll time favorites, Jeff Buckley...could have met him once, if I had just walked a tiny bit faster across the crosswalk and wanted to bother him.
i'm with you.
and the song Grace, too.
The what on MTV? MTV played videos? That's crazy talk.
It's called the PSD button, or otherwise, go for commercial-infested, listener-ignoring radio :)
Chocolate music?

I think this is the same for most people. after all, he left us not long after recording his first album. however the albums quality hits you right between the eyes.
This song is not played enough.

I bought it when it first came out, based on seeing the video on MTV (lol). I loved this song but the rest of the album took about another couple of years to really hit me, as well! I'm glad I came back to it, because now I cannot imagine how I missed this genius. I can't say enough how much I love the "tear" in his voice, the sadness & depth of feeling, not to mention the albums use of nuance, which is lost on a lot of more modern music. (Can't stand compression!) My fave track is probably "Lover, You Should Have Come Over," but the whole album is a classic to me. (Even if I still kind of prefer Nina Simone's version of Lilac Wine :P)
Patty Griffin's "Goodbye" has to be up there. Ironically, it's a song written about Jeff Buckley.
The first time I heard your voice I sat up and took notice and pursued.
But you were already gone.
Wish you were still here.
And his mom is a really nice lady.
I find it hard to find any similarities between the two, just the fact that Matthew always sings with thick distortion over his voice tells me he is not comparable to Jeff Buckley.
I have to agree with Zigi.
In the immortal words of Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing, "Comparisons are odorous."
Interesting. i did exactly the same thing. Genius, really.
Matthew Bellamy (Muse writer, lead guitarist and vocalist) gets RAILED about his amazing voice, and this guy who sounds like him is held up like a god.

This is just one of those songs where every little details seems absolutely perfect and the flow of the song blends with my feelings.
Here in DC, this was the last song WHFS played before they went off the air.
Bill - how about 'Eternal Life' ?
The road version!
22.
And it still feels the same.
Oh, and the song is a 10.

What does that even mean? Just trying out your new cool-guy words, and in the process creating a completely contradictory statement? If so, it worked.
Cool-guy words? Wtf? Those words seemed pretty normal and descriptive to me - didn't seem like he was trying to be anything to me. The term "Cool-guy word" is much more confusing... and "Cool-guy"... ish...
Anyways, I get what he was saying. Good songwriter, he pulls off (executes) what he is trying to achieve, and clearly has passion for it. However he just isn't aaoaoo's cup of tea, and maybe doesn't have that unexplainable x-factor that makes people love certain artists. There are many artists that I know are good and I respect them, but they aren't my "thing."
Who was the producer?
It was produced, engineered and mixed by Andy Wallace. Cheers.

Always the same question in my head: ..why so early?
Indeed.

Damn close to perfect.

Don't agree with that statement!

Now, that's better.
Thanks for fixing my post.
Yuk.
Let me refrain that. Yuk. Terrible terrible terrible.
It just show you that one should never, ever, ever stop listening to Radio Paradise. Never.
I need someone to bring me a "truckers friend."
That is all.
¡Esta tu nuevo radio! ¡El ZOL!
I was waiting for Vienna Teng's "Passage" to complete the emotional pounding...I need a fu**ing drink...
I have no idea what you're talking about...
j/k. This set is one of Bill's 'theme' series.
Someone died today and I am not sure whom.
But it will come out.
Perhaps it's a love died?
