I've never wanted to meet somebody as much as I've wanted to meet Jeff. There is something so pure about him. He was such a beautiful guy. I'm thankful for dreams. At least I can meet him in those.
Just reminds of me the words of Bill Hicks: We live in a world where good men are murdered in their prime, while mediocre hacks thrive and proliferates. Which is so true, talent dies and disappears young while utter crap keeps on living.
I listened to his hallelujah many times, and it brings me to tears and complete stupefaction, the music AND subject matter...and the way he sings, but it never occurred to me to look him up...until now. What a genius! And perfect guy, perfect singer...holy crap!!!
Yes my obsession with Jeff caused the most beautiful dreams. He’s pure energy. Pure creative, emotional energy….I have never been so in love with a musician that my fantasy can stop at just a deep kiss… that’s enough. He’s so magical.
@@MissJensk1 ... but I'm afraid to love you... I'm afraid. That was SO REAL. Coming for my emotions like that. Fool, yew is sadly departed, and I has a man. Please do NOT be coming for my marriage from beyond the grave, MAHALO!
I love how eccentric Jeff Buckley is. You can clearly tell he was a true artist by his body language. Notice how he talks to himself, has nervous ticks, and looks around. To me that shows how wrapped up in his music he was. Truly a great artist.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged not really, you are just have not seen the pattern that every great in any area has. Seriously almost every person who's contributions to anything that are in the history books has things that people think are not normal, habits, lifestyle.
@@gerardo.b3026 The problem is how people treat the eccentric artist who doesn't hit it big. And many of those are 10x's as brilliant as the artists who have "made it". If they're not rich or famous they're just looked at as weirdos or freaks. I'm sure Buckley would be looked at like a total goon if he didn't become a legend.
"when can we expect another album?" "when im 47, 48" he would have come out with another album last year or this year. jeff had so much in store for us and we'll never hear it. its a shame
It's so sad to hear Jeff talk about how much he and his band have grown since Grace, suggesting how such better stuff would be coming. We'll never hear it in completion and that's really upsetting.
“Where does your voice come from?” ~ “The same place yours does” “But I don’t have your voice?” ~ “And I don’t have yours”… -Thank you, Jeff. Please help us remember that; we always forget. 🙏🏻
the fact that he thinks Grace is "not that great" and just "the first album" just makes me so sad...he had a lot in store for us and we'll never get to hear it. Well, I'm glad Grace is here even if it's only "the first album". Love you Jeff!
hallmark I think it’s great that he feels that Grace is not that great, because he is showing his humility. Indeed he did have more to say and it’s incredible painful that the universe removed him from this earth soo fast. I would like to think that God loves his voice so much that he needed him in his kingdom.
By watching this interview, sad as it is, he wasn't meant to live long. His soul, the aura and intensity that I sense, it's on an entirely different wavelength; he was just too damn pure for this world. This thing I notice among all my favorite dead musicians is the same. I can't describe it right, but Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Kurt Cobain, and others I can't presently think of, I hope you all have found your peace. ❤
je ressens la même sensation que vous , un état de pureté, une onde différente des autres , une aura bien plus puissante que la majorité des gens de ce monde .
I feel that there is some deeper connection between Buckley, River Phoenix and Lauryn Hill, they were all big in the 90s,young, super talented with with deep souls.
Even his speaking voice sounds melodic at times. Who is interviewing him? She does a great job because she asks great questions and let's him finish his sentences and gives him time to speak.
It is so sad to hear him say that he'll probably give his best when he's 47 years old. I'm almost 45 and I was born in 1966 also. I wish he had more time to give us what he thought was his best, but I can't hardly imagine what that would be. The recordings he left with us are so beautiful already. I appreciate the gift he left for us. Thanks Jeff Buckley.
I miss him. I genuinely do... No, I wasn't alive when he was. But I miss him, every day. I don't think I'll ever be so affected by a person in my entire life, the way he affects me... It's like, he's the only person I've ever really felt connected to. I would give anything to go back in time, to just see him live. I would just sit there, utterly silent... Not saying a word, not thinking anything, just listening.
People like him aren't meant for this world... at least that's what calms me down at night when I'm up thinking about all those people who've left this world and left the rest of us behind.
God help us, he was too real to live in this grubby world. One of our best and truest artists, lost too soon. His mind and talent were explosive. He would have grown and grown and grown ... he was fun, and also humble. Staggeringly great.
I find it very interesting that an extraordinary singer such as Jeff, when naming the artists he'd like to emulate, he picks Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen, the first three singers that come to mind when speaking of great vocalists who can't sing.
@@Not_Mii_Uus would you respect someone more if they sang with all their heart and soul, but didn't sing well in the conventional sense, or someone who singing came easy, yet didn't give a shit about the music they portrayed to the world, one would make you feel amazing, and sleep good at night, and the other would just leave you soulless with money
seriously, Jeff Buckley did only one album, and he died before making any other album... THAT ALBUM IS PERFECT, IMAGINE WHAT HE COULD HAVE DONE AFTER! Thumbs up for one of the best album of all time, and best singer! (I don't need any thumbs up)
Cause world is a cruel thing. Shit, I have only 20 years old and this is my lovely musician. And it's sad, cause this future masterpieces we will never hear...
I'm crying bc today is his birthday and when she talked about the other artist who he might want to model his career after who are 50 years old and still going he would've been 50 today just insane.
We miss you Jeff. My sons birthday is May 29th and every year I take a few minutes to reflect on the fact that it’s also the day you passed on. You were magic
"Leonard Cohen delivers a song and it's completely untouchable" Jeff Buckley is too humble for his own good. In my opinion, his version of Hallelujah is definitive and untouchable, and there has never been a version as soul destroying as his
i am a *major* audiophile... meaning, i am *very* sensitive and aware of sound... sound all around me really... but it isn't someone's eyes i see and fall in love with first, or their lips or smile, it is *always* in their *voice* i can hear someone behind me and get that 'love at first sight (but it's sound) feeling' before i even 'see' them... had i been in her chair, when he explains 'i love you.' and "i lovve you..." i would have probably had a Chernobyl moment... i cant breathe when i hear it on video... my heart would probably pause as well in person... oh heavens.
gavinbeansmama awww thank you. it can sometimes make things difficult... like listening to music that i hear with my soul, when i am around other people... it sometimes ends in a whisper such as "ummm is she autistic?" or something along those lines, haha. there are certain albums i KNOW not to try and drive to... because a sort of spastic trance happens, which is dangerous on the road... just certain things sometimes. but it's okay, hearing the music or even listening to a loved one's voice so intently more than makes up for any of that stuff.
he passed away a year after i was born so i never heard him talk before but WOW i didn't realise how shy, creative and eccentric he truly was such a shame he's gone
I think he was scared to release a new album, in fear of how harshly the media can turn someone's life completely around. Going from angelic like Grace, to possibly the worst review ever. He was super sensitive and always wanted to be completely understood through his words. I'm the exact same way.. And the anxiety it brings along is awful. He's resting peacefully now, with his legacy left as grace.
+mark ferlisi First time I've ever seen an interview by Jeff Buckley---I love the remarkable Grace, and his other compilation Sketches From My Sweetheart The Drunk---it has such a range of different tunes on there--it's worth getting just for all that alone. He definitely seemed odd and nervous here, but that's what make this such an interesting interview---it's not your typical Q&A, which is refreshing. He also did that great transcendent version of a Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah" which is by itself worth getting Grace for (that and the incredible title track,which I used to play to death because I loved it so much.
+rainmaker690 I completely agree. It's almost poetic, how he handles himself. I always work on not worrying so much, and nothing eases my mind more, than Jeff Buckley. It's ironic, but the music of an odd/nervous guy, is what helps everyone else relax. I know what you mean, nobody covers a song quite like Buckley.
Oh my God! What generous and open and honest and kind person he is. He is sweet and funny and truthful and humble. What a great interview! Love Jeff! And love his music!
This voice makes my heart full..It is under my skin, I can't help it..It's to late to let it go. I'm simply obsessed in a way I never was. I can't do anything truly without him... any part of him: talking, singing, playing, writing... I just need a big dose of Jeff.
It's very sad that he passed away at such a young age. He was extremely talented and one of a kind with a lot of potential and I would've love to hear more from him but you know what by the way he talks about magazines and how he hates the media and the way they portray celebrities I feel as if he would've hated that aspect today bc it's not even about music anymore, people just want to hear about the next scandal and I feel as if Jeff didnt want anything to do with being in the spotlight or being "famous."
Really sincere guy (a great rarity in Show Business). THAT is why he was so special: his Sincerity/Integrity......not to mention his enormous talent as a singer. God, is he missed.
Tim said the same the same thing about his anti-war song at Carnegie Hall. He wanted to forget what everyone wanted to hear. He could put an audience into a trance just like Jeff. I saw Jeff at St. Ann's in Brooklyn when he first started out. He sang one of his fathers songs.
...as well as a one-of-a-kind talent that deeply inspired some of the most respected, advanced and successful musicians ever. Good for you to acknowledge anything positive about this gentleman.
"I love you......*gazes into her eyes* I Love You..." It feels like he is saying it to me. And I see the lady had to hold herself together. Beautiful Man, Beautiful Music. Gone Too Soon. R.I.P Jeff Buckley, I Love You. 3
I crack up at the very end every time. Great interview. I feel like every person should watch this, and they'd gain a little better understanding of the world.
I read a review of Grace today that started off with the line "Jeff Buckley was many things but humble wasn't one of them". Where did the writer get that from? Watching this interview he seems very humble and unpretentious. I've heard the same things said about Bob Dylan and Billy Corgan, and from what I've seen it's just not true, they all seem like great people.
Bob Dylan is an asshole, while being interviewed. In real life, outside of the media, I'm sure he's a normal, awesome person. I just think that he likes messing with the reporter and doesn't feel like he has to answer any of their questions. I know that reporters are "bloodsuckers" for a lot of musicians, but they're still people doing their job and it's honestly disrespectful, when they ask an honest question and he gives them these bullshit answers. Sorry if it seems I'm attacking you, I'm not, I'm just ranting.
I respectfully disagree. I've watched just about every Bob Dylan interview there is on TH-cam, and I wouldn't say he was being an asshole. It's true that they are people doing their job, but from what I've seen, most of their questions are pretty awful and undeserving of a serious response. Some of the reporters are very disrespectful as well. Dylan has made it quite clear that he never saw himself as some "savior of the people" or "voice of the generation", so it's pretty rude for most of the reporters to spend their whole interview asking him about that. No prob, it was a respectful reply, and ranting feels great.
I believe he was uncompromising in regards to his sentiment/convictions. Some people my may regard that as lofty; hence "his lack of humility". I definitely don't believe that to be the case. In fact, it's his candor- his unblemished interpretation of the world- that (in my eyes) makes him all the more genuine/sympathetic.
Like Bob would say "it's people's games that you got to dodge..", most people just don't like someone who is different and strong-minded about their ways. It's bad ego, jealousy..."who does this guy thinks he is" kind of thing.
I think because of the way he used his voice, people must have thought he was cocky, like in Mojo Pin where he does that one scream and then does some vocal improvisation. But I personally don't believe he was doing this. It seems like he was just singing in the way he felt the song called for. People are just envious dicks and often feel threatened by musical talent for some reason, so they call it "pretentious." I'm not saying music can't be pretentious, but the term is definitely overused to put down some really great performers/songwriters. As for Billy Corgan, he seems to talk shit about others quite often and pump himself up all the time. I can totally see why someone would think he's not humble.
You can clearly understand his mistrust over the media and there's definitely a touch of the Kurt Cobain's about him in that respect. A wonderful spirit shining through!
“I don’t have your voice”
“And I don’t have yours”
Brilliant and sweet response
I've never wanted to meet somebody as much as I've wanted to meet Jeff. There is something so pure about him. He was such a beautiful guy. I'm thankful for dreams. At least I can meet him in those.
ah, the raunchy kind - dem is the best. I feel you Charlie you wild soul.
Just reminds of me the words of Bill Hicks: We live in a world where good men are murdered in their prime, while mediocre hacks thrive and proliferates. Which is so true, talent dies and disappears young while utter crap keeps on living.

If only we could have realistic dreams ,. Even tho we can't be with Jeff in this life. Ahhh. The fantasy. 💕💕💕
Yes my obsession with Jeff caused the most beautiful dreams. He’s pure energy. Pure creative, emotional energy….I have never been so in love with a musician that my fantasy can stop at just a deep kiss… that’s enough. He’s so magical.
The way he says "I love you" the second time is just absolutely perfect.
It is!

YES
"when can we expect another album?"
"when im 47, 48"
he would have come out with another album last year or this year. jeff had so much in store for us and we'll never hear it. its a shame
He would've released 'My Sweetheart The Drunk' in late '97 or early '98 at the latest :)
+issabelle vu oh my gosh........... this makes me tear up...... :(((((
i share your pain..
its sweet to see how nervous he makes her.
Its the ocean in her panties
I think she's falling in love with him a little bit . . .
Elizabeth said it best , he just had something that you wanted. Everyone wanted a piece of Jeff, he just drew people in.
0:25 Singing even when he's supposed to talk.
I was so impressive that i start to laugh about it
I went down here to check if anyone had written about it. Crazy!
Yes, I caught that too, so musical, well spoted😉
It's so sad to hear Jeff talk about how much he and his band have grown since Grace, suggesting how such better stuff would be coming. We'll never hear it in completion and that's really upsetting.
Actually they're releasing an album soon! Of unreleased stuff I'm pretty sure
when he said "I love you" in the sincere way I kinda melted a little.
Kassandra Dea But I'm afraid to love you...
Who cares
I can make you melt too.
@@BallJuiceOfZeusshut up
God, he seems so innocent and why am i crying
Fuck so am I...
Coz youre a pussy
I dunno but so am I.
His “uhhhhh” at 00:26 is prettier than angels singing, I’m so entranced by him
“Where does your voice come from?”
~ “The same place yours does”
“But I don’t have your voice?”
~ “And I don’t have yours”…
-Thank you, Jeff. Please help us remember that; we always forget. 🙏🏻

But even Letters to my Sweetheart was a window into what was to come... and it was great.
Ik man ik..

I don't recommend watching old Jeff Buckley interviews at 2am 😪😪😪
Chloe McGinley God feels when I can't sleep I watch them and can't sleep because of them
Chloe McGinley that's literally what I'm doing now 😢😢😢
Same
yet here I am 😣
Too many feelings lol
Definitely Buckley was meant to be an angel.
Karen M Oh wow. I just realized that. The King of the Hill episode "Buckley's Angel". Damn, as if I already wasn't sad enough.
I feel that there is some deeper connection between Buckley, River Phoenix and Lauryn Hill, they were all big in the 90s,young, super talented with with deep souls.
He's so right about the media, the press makes it about them, wanting to get attention to 'their' story.
I know every word Jeff says in this god damn interview.
+Gabrielle Lima I know.
Me too. Like each and every word😅😅
i could listen to him talk all day
Even his speaking voice sounds melodic at times.
Who is interviewing him? She does a great job because she asks great questions and let's him finish his sentences and gives him time to speak.
He was such a beautiful soul
Such a beautiful soul. So deep, insightful, profound and empathic. Are there any humans like this any more?
It is so sad to hear him say that he'll probably give his best when he's 47 years old. I'm almost 45 and I was born in 1966 also. I wish he had more time to give us what he thought was his best, but I can't hardly imagine what that would be. The recordings he left with us are so beautiful already. I appreciate the gift he left for us. Thanks Jeff Buckley.
This is an all-time top 5 interview by any person ever. Jeff Buckley was a real person.
In this interview he is very reminiscent his father.
I miss him. I genuinely do... No, I wasn't alive when he was. But I miss him, every day. I don't think I'll ever be so affected by a person in my entire life, the way he affects me... It's like, he's the only person I've ever really felt connected to. I would give anything to go back in time, to just see him live. I would just sit there, utterly silent... Not saying a word, not thinking anything, just listening.
I really like him. I think hes a genius.
Was, sadly :'(
me too
5:29 makes my heart melt, oh god
But I’m afraid to love you
Same.
😢
this brought me to tears, how can the universe make such a beautiful talented and clever creature of music and take him so soon
People like him aren't meant for this world... at least that's what calms me down at night when I'm up thinking about all those people who've left this world and left the rest of us behind.
I love how laid back yet on point he is
God help us, he was too real to live in this grubby world. One of our best and truest artists, lost too soon. His mind and talent were explosive. He would have grown and grown and grown ... he was fun, and also humble. Staggeringly great.
He probably never knew how many people he would touch and love him so...
My heart melted when he said, "I love you", the second time.
I really need a gif or a video of just that second "i love you" in my life
What a dreamy idea.tell me if you find one! 😍
haha his English accent is excellent. It seems he thinks all hyper interviewers are English :)
His authenticity can’t be faked I admire him a lot we need more genuine people like him.
oh the irony that i'm just filling time by watching jeff's interviews. i'm not living life at the moment, though i don't feel like it.
I find it very interesting that an extraordinary singer such as Jeff, when naming the artists he'd like to emulate, he picks Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen, the first three singers that come to mind when speaking of great vocalists who can't sing.
Modar Kajo Singers, they are not. But wonderful lyricists and very passionate, they are
@@marcusfairweather9432 they sang, sounds like something a singer would do to me. Why are we so obsessed with gatekeeping artists?

i have listened to his saying I LOVE YOU here million times...
seriously, Jeff Buckley did only one album, and he died before making any other album... THAT ALBUM IS PERFECT, IMAGINE WHAT HE COULD HAVE DONE AFTER!
Thumbs up for one of the best album of all time, and best singer! (I don't need any thumbs up)
His voice is really beautiful.
Breaks my heart that he never got to live until 47, 48....
Not only his singing voice sounds like an angel ...also hear him talking is heavenly...I love you too Jeff! May you still RIP!❤❤
Very deep and talented guy. God his impersonations in this interview are so funny.
god i love him so much i miss him
we all miss him
You can tell that the interviewer was totally captivated by Jeff, by his charisma.
" I don't have your voice
I don't have your voice "
😍
She was clearly falling for him right ? How could she not
a lot was going on in †hat head
ur t is weird
So much was going on in that head 🤣😂 I loved him
Damn....why did he have to die? WHY do all the great ones have to die?!
Tardigrade & Snake totally agreed he was a GREAT one but plenty of them survived also
Cause world is a cruel thing. Shit, I have only 20 years old and this is my lovely musician. And it's sad, cause this future masterpieces we will never hear...
He would be 54 years old today. Happy birthday Jeff in heaven!
Goddamn....He is absolutely charming.
"I don't have your voice" one of the greatest quotes ever
i reckon the interviewer fell in love with Jeff during the interview... you can tell... especially when Jeff said "i love you"
Was I the only one blushing through this entire interview???lol.
He’s so captivating
My god the world is a darker place from the loss of this brilliant beautiful man!!!! R.I.P Jeff!!
Cheers
I'm crying bc today is his birthday and when she talked about the other artist who he might want to model his career after who are 50 years old and still going he would've been 50 today just insane.

Who wouldn't fall in love with him.
I like that he inspires comments like these. :)
I love the way he talks to the interviewer; a little reserved, tho a little goofy and still very humble. So real...
One of the most talented and iconic musicians of all time. What a tragedy his death was 🥹 we don't see musicians like Jeff Buckley anymore.

"Lilac Wine" is my favorite.

Oh my God! What generous and open and honest and kind person he is. He is sweet and funny and truthful and humble. What a great interview! Love Jeff! And love his music!
I love how he explains all the little details.. like i can listen him all day everyday
oh wow, i didnt know his usual talking voice is as mesmerizing as his singing voice. There is something about him generally that attracts me a lot..
"It's just the first album"... Right in the feels
This voice makes my heart full..It is under my skin, I can't help it..It's to late to let it go. I'm simply obsessed in a way I never was. I can't do anything truly without him... any part of him: talking, singing, playing, writing... I just need a big dose of Jeff.
i fell in love with him when he said that...and i'm a guy...a straight guy. well, not anymore...
No matter where you sit in a room, in this video Jeff will look at you in the eyes at some point as if he knows you're watching. Chilling.
He was a very involved soul!
he was so mellow and beautiful
you are beautiful too
Your shirtless selfie with that wonderful filter is beautiful too
This is the best interview I think I've seen of him. He's so funny, genuine, and honoring of others.

I agree! he is such a pure soul
He is so articulate and everything he says just comes naturally and flows out so easily for him. He was so wise for his years.
this interview made me cry
What a special man.
Really sincere guy (a great rarity in Show Business). THAT is why he was so special: his Sincerity/Integrity......not to mention his enormous talent as a singer.
God, is he missed.
i feel like he couldve been a great actor
When he said "I love you", I swear my heart melted. I love him. I really fucking do.
I'm so pissed off that he's dead. I haven't this much anger when I find out someone died an untimely death. He was so young and had so much potential.
Tim said the same the same thing about his anti-war song at Carnegie Hall. He wanted to forget what everyone wanted to hear. He could put an audience into a trance just like Jeff. I saw Jeff at St. Ann's in Brooklyn when he first started out. He sang one of his fathers songs.
Seemed like a very intelligent kid, god bless him.
I love that he changed into a British accent whenever impersonating someone haha, he was truly the cutest, we didn't deserve this guy.
i love his little impressions 😭🫶
seems so young and innocent
-'"People who will like to emulate?."
-"Joni Mitchell without cigarrettes."
love him 😂😂
he is kinda weirdly hot
...or did you mean weirdly kinda hot? completely two different phrases, please clarify...
+Ayan44 hes gorgeous
...as well as a one-of-a-kind talent that deeply inspired some of the most respected, advanced and successful musicians ever. Good for you to acknowledge anything positive about this gentleman.
Ayan44 Jeff died in May 1997 three months before "his Elvis" the great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died. Legends RIP
"I love you......*gazes into her eyes* I Love You..."
It feels like he is saying it to me. And I see the lady had to hold herself together. Beautiful Man, Beautiful Music. Gone Too Soon. R.I.P Jeff Buckley, I Love You. 3
He was so amazing. Could have done so much more...people were drawn to him.
So utterly sincere
wish you where here...
Trying hard to avoid a bullshit response while trying to give an honest and thoughtful response. You don't have people like this anymore..
I miss you Jeff :(
"Letting myself take messages" aw, man, Jeff.
He's so humble
I just had an eargasm
I crack up at the very end every time. Great interview. I feel like every person should watch this, and they'd gain a little better understanding of the world.
I read a review of Grace today that started off with the line "Jeff Buckley was many things but humble wasn't one of them". Where did the writer get that from? Watching this interview he seems very humble and unpretentious. I've heard the same things said about Bob Dylan and Billy Corgan, and from what I've seen it's just not true, they all seem like great people.
Bob Dylan is an asshole, while being interviewed. In real life, outside of the media, I'm sure he's a normal, awesome person. I just think that he likes messing with the reporter and doesn't feel like he has to answer any of their questions. I know that reporters are "bloodsuckers" for a lot of musicians, but they're still people doing their job and it's honestly disrespectful, when they ask an honest question and he gives them these bullshit answers. Sorry if it seems I'm attacking you, I'm not, I'm just ranting.
I respectfully disagree. I've watched just about every Bob Dylan interview there is on TH-cam, and I wouldn't say he was being an asshole. It's true that they are people doing their job, but from what I've seen, most of their questions are pretty awful and undeserving of a serious response. Some of the reporters are very disrespectful as well. Dylan has made it quite clear that he never saw himself as some "savior of the people" or "voice of the generation", so it's pretty rude for most of the reporters to spend their whole interview asking him about that.
No prob, it was a respectful reply, and ranting feels great.
I believe he was uncompromising in regards to his sentiment/convictions. Some people my may regard that as lofty; hence "his lack of humility".
I definitely don't believe that to be the case. In fact, it's his candor- his unblemished interpretation of the world- that (in my eyes) makes him all the more genuine/sympathetic.
Like Bob would say "it's people's games that you got to dodge..", most people just don't like someone who is different and strong-minded about their ways. It's bad ego, jealousy..."who does this guy thinks he is" kind of thing.
I think because of the way he used his voice, people must have thought he was cocky, like in Mojo Pin where he does that one scream and then does some vocal improvisation. But I personally don't believe he was doing this. It seems like he was just singing in the way he felt the song called for. People are just envious dicks and often feel threatened by musical talent for some reason, so they call it "pretentious." I'm not saying music can't be pretentious, but the term is definitely overused to put down some really great performers/songwriters.
As for Billy Corgan, he seems to talk shit about others quite often and pump himself up all the time. I can totally see why someone would think he's not humble.
You can clearly understand his mistrust over the media and there's definitely a touch of the Kurt Cobain's about him in that respect. A wonderful spirit shining through!
I love his honesty and how real he is. RIP
