That's a lot of lyrics thanks .. I think it might be "solid steel resistance" and "ghost turns that motor"? Most of the songs on your latest remaster of this collection sound better than ever before :)
Still after all these years, one of my favourites. I just caught a guy teaching how to play it, which was amazingly good, but he lacked the odd insistent strumming. Just that detail about the timings and kind of forced (no idea what to use) melody just makes it yet a completely different idea explored by him.
i took so many of those black death cab rides, the livery drivers to Brooklyn at 4am, hammered and throwing up out of the window. This song to me is about active alcoholism. Being on a path you can't avoid or change and having an invisible gun at your temple and hoping it will end soon. This is a provocative song. There is no going back to sleep when your life turns into a nightmare.
It might have ended up on MSTD - who knows? He was about to start recording it that week he died... but he seemed to have no idea which songs to go with. He didn't commit suicide but the stress of the second album definitely contributed to the recklessness that caused his death
@@josephscott1 there is no "official" list of things that might have been included in MSTD by JEFF, not by "Mary Guibert et Cris Cornell" team. We may only have a vague idea.
@@BehindStarWars What? "the stress of the second album definitely contributed to the recklessness that caused his death" !! Please explain how you or anyone would know this, were you his psychologist at the time? He said he was all stressed out which made him inclined to go swimming with his clothes on? Pure speculation 'definitely' your own made up opinion, along with the equally nonsensical "he seemed to have no idea which songs to go with" ?? Now you're his record producer. I just can't stand this kind of bullshit but it's even worse when random musings are presented as 'in the know' facts.
WTF hasn't this version been released? or has it? Still one of my fav Jeff Buckley tunes. Mystery White Boy has it live with the band...but what about this demo? This is incredible.

What a fucking great song
Sounds great, thanks for this!
I love this song so much
Always lovely, always waking up in this strange place
Brilliant!
Anybody know the story as to why he never pursued officially releasing this?
He drowned

@@BehindStarWars Would have loved to hear how he would have arranged/produced this for MSTD. Lyric and melodic masterpiece.

This was released unofficially in 2000 on an italian E.P. called "A voice to hold in the dark".
