@@CesarMendoza-tb6bg here's a person born in 2005 and who treasures Jeff a looooooooot :) definitely one of the greatest singer/composer/lyricist/guitarist of the entire music industry
@@vincal.3178me too, I was born in 2006 and I am a huge fan of Jeff. I saw recently on TikTok that “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over” is getting famous, idk how to feel about it, but Jeff has grown millions of monthly listeners on Spotify actually.
So sad that he passed. Just imagine the music he would've created and I constantly go back to listening to his music. Goosebumps every time. Love you Jeff!
Same here luv I get on these Grace kicks a few times a year and have to cycle through the album a few times. This song, Dream Brother and Lover, you should’ve come over touch me at the soul level 💜💜💜
“My heart feels so still, as I try to find the will to forget her somehow” this man is so underrated man. he was young he had so much more ahead of him.
I love how he changes it from "her" to "you" in the very last lines, just makes it all the more raw and intimate. I can understand why he thought this song was too personal to include on the album, but I'm so thankful that it was ultimately released - hopefully he isn't scowling at us all for listening to it! 😅 May he rest in peace, for he's certainly provided me with peace many times over the years...
That angry guitar riff at the middle of the song and then that powerful bridge... it's like a stab right through the heart. So fierce and so, so realistic. What an artist he was.
I do find the bridge and the transition back to the main Melody extremely Powerful and moving. From there the initial ballad turns into a desperate complaint. Fantastic song
I still can't believe he decided to not put this song on Grace. He found it too simple and easy, but it's so beautiful and pure. He was so hard on himself, gosh.
Lisa Riendeau didn't he find it too personal as it was written and recorded to Rebecca but then decided against making it public as it was too personal??
No, it was too soon (for him, emotionally). Remember, he would've had to sing this song, night after night after night...and he was still trying to get over her.
He has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen on a man. Must be a Buckley thing, because Tim had the same glow... experimentalrealm.tumblr.com/post/642984271666200576/ananula-tim-buckley-performing-sing-a-song

once jeff said that after a show he feels like he has just woke up and realized that yesterday he went out, got high and told a stranger all the most intimate details of his life. he said that it is kind of embarassing. i think it perfectly shows what performing meant to him.
He created a legacy in one single album. I can’t think of any other artist who only got one chance to release a full length, and that debut and only full length made them a legend. Sketches for my sweetheart the drunk is honestly my favorite - but I know they were mostly fancy demos, and doesn’t seem to carry the same weight with people “Grace” does.
He looks so fine in this video, it's very sad what happened to him. I miss him a lot even though I never met him, however, we have his music that continues to vibrate full of life
rare for an instrumentalist to be equally gifted in singing and song-writing. Jeff was so special and talented. the chord progressions in his guitar playing are just gorgeous....love the soul and feeling he projected in his singing.
I was in love with his work without "analyzing" it for a second. I usually do that - I notice stuff, progressions, melody, arrangement... That's not the case with Jeff. It's raw emotion coming out of the speakers. Have a nice day :)
Don Rory yeah, I guess I do analyze music....it's from taking two courses of Music Theory in grad school. But my comment was meant to show how much I love Jeff. He was a star. I hope you have a nice day, too. :)
I think the whole "analyzing" thing really depends on your mood. Sometimes I get lost in purely the emotion of a song, when maybe a day later I would hear the same song and be in an analytical mood based off of other factors. There is a beauty to both.
adam stehr I agree....I love picking apart/analyzing because I hear all the hard work Jeff put into each song...he was such a perfectionist....and other times...I just hear the song as I walk or exercise and get lost in it. You're a cool guy! I appreciate your comment!
Whovianize wtf? Kind people arguing without insults. This is youtube you can't do that haha. Must be the peace on Jeff's voice that makes people be friendly.
When I first heard this, I played it a million times!!! Still playing it in 2020z Lover, you should’ve come over is another one I listened to over and over, my god it is soooo good!!
God, he was so beautiful. I've been obsessed with him for five god damn years and I still can never get sick of even one song. I get sick of everything in five minutes. Not him.
ever since I discovered Grace 13 years ago, I've never gotten tired of it. it's my favorite album of all time, on a serious note. It's haunting, poetic, the arrangements are flawless, jeffs vocals is like god himself singing through him. It sucks that he died and were stuck with Justin Beiber...why??!! lol
No there are not.. I believe all mine are in my name are gone..I loved them for their lyrics, their vocals, and no jerry Cantrell did not write all the lyrics for AIC,he wrote some and mostly Co wrote them with Staley, Staley wrote some on his own and especially in his band MAD SEASON.he was given total control over lyrics bc they knew his feelings towards his AIC (friends ) not Mike Starr his best friend who they kicked out in 93 making Staley worse..anyway CONOR is a new vocalist from a young band called nothing but thieves NBT who's been compared to Buckley, Thome York, Muse..Anyway he caught me completely off guard bc I watched his acoustic versions first, and live concerts first. He's got passion and a complete variety of influences alot like some of Jeffs , one of course is Zeppelin, where he has a live version, outside singing immigrants song during an earthquake and at first he's nervous then he of course decided he's got to do this. Their new and blows it out of the water. He's got lots that are kinda sad to viewers, kinda like Jeffs..but his voice is amazing. .completely surprised me and made me put his name with the others..bc I'd lost faith in today's music until I heard his band.
Is it really that long ago that he died?. Guess if. I'm getting older so is time passing for everyone. I also still miss his Dad, Tim Buckley,recently listened to his song " Siren". Just timeless,into ur soul. Hopefully they're singing together up in heaven!.
Fraser herself declined their relationship being anything else than platonic. But even if she was lying, this is most probably not about her since they were friends until his death, so I don't think he ever tried to "forget her".
Jeff used to pick fights with her so he could be in that emotional mind state to write such beautiful songs such as 'Last Goodbye' etc. Yet Jeff thanks her father in the liner notes of the 'Grace' album, 'P. Thank you for her. Thank you for them all. Bless you for us two. Love, Jeff.' Rebecca's father's name was Peter. Another note should be that 'Forget Her' was originally meant to be on the 'Grace' LP but Michael Tighe came to Jeff with the intro idea of 'So Real'. Jeff loved it so much that they worked it up into a song and 'Forget Her' was scratched in favour of 'So Real'. Again, only in my understanding from articles I’ve read over the years. Mostly conjecture. Don’t believe anything you read right?
Why haven't I heard of him at all in all my 17 years of living....Only discovered him while searching for the Hallelujah song. Saddens mean that he passed away in '97 two years before I was born. One of the best artist I've discovered on my own.
I was Born in may 1997, couple days before he died and Just discovered him last year and I am so luck because of that, I am really in love with his songs and the person he was.
This was always one of my favorite songs of Jeff's, even if I'd never lived these lyrics. My wife left at the beginning of the year, after 14 years together, for another guy. Finally, in my heartbroken state, this song is for me. I forever dedicate this song to her.
my condolences brother. these times there's nothing we can do. a cold mean slap used to keep a warm happy wife but alas it is no more. stay strong. you have more allies than you know.
9 years ago, my ex cheated on me with my best friend. I have not seen them since. This song is so relevant to me. 9 years on I wonder if I have truly forgotten her... and the unscrupulous things she did to me. Thank you Jeff for giving me a such a beautiful song to relate to.
Dominic Tong You don't have to forget her, but you do need to love yourself and want the best for yourself just as you would anybody else. If you love yourself you don't let people use and abuse you. F' her and keep it moving.
There are few daggers that sting more than when your best friend is the one. The girls can come and go while we understand it may not last. The best friend is supposed to be the one you fall back on for support when/if it crumbles. It sours the rest of your friendships...
Crybaby. You can never own another human being. Appreciate the time you had with her, and remember; feelings and thoughts born and die, just like people. Every second. Nothing is permanent except the change.
one of the best songs ever written. And probably, after jimi hendrix, Buckley' s been the biggest early loss ever. Lord give this genius the most comfortable feathered bed in Heaven.
I realized It was not healthy , I realized that being In love with someone who doesn't love you back was not healthy . I made my choice I moved on , saw her In theatre she greeted me with her green blooming eyes smiled and stunned me again she was Indeed a heartache I'm still trying to forget her .
@@sarisatechasukij9486 Damn I forgot about my comment. It feels like such a long time ago. Recently I met someone who I truly love and she loves me unconditionally for who I am. Just keep holding on, the right one is out there somewhere.
@@kaladin7487 Congratulations! I'm glad you've found the right one. I wasn't actually talking about a romantic relationship, just a friend I had sometime ago. We stopped talking for a stupid reason. But I'll get over her someday.
@@sarisatechasukij9486 3 years here. I got a girlfriend now, buts it's just not the same. You know, I think I fell in an endless pit of sorrow, I think of her first thing in the morning and when I go to sleep. I used to talk to my friends about her all the time, I don't do it anymore though, I made they think that I forgot her, but it's just beacause I don't want to worry them about my mental health. That relationship settle down too deep in my heart, and I have accepted that I will die with it.
Jeff's voice was the best in rock. Eddie Vedder and Freddie Mercury are right there behind him, But Jeff's has the most emotion and passionate and hits you in the heart and gut!
A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR BUCKLEY'S ANGELIC VOICE AND THE SONGS HE WROTE! I hope nobody, nobody ever forgets this gem, ever, as long as beauty, poetry, songs, lovers exist!
Been reading the new Dave Lory book on Jeff(he was his manager) and the story around this song is so interesting. Jeff wrote it during the Grace recording sessions in just a short while but as time went on before the album was released, he grew to hate the song and would give everybody different reasons for why he wanted it dropped. Nobody understood why because it was a surefire radio hit and a great song but he was adamant. Ultimately it was dropped and So Real took its place. The manager thinks Jeff didn’t think it was good enough yet but I wonder if he wrote it in a moment of anger over his recent break up with his ex but then calmed down a bit and didn’t want her knowing just how he felt if it had been on the album.
Is there anyone in this world that could resist and don't fall in love, in a platonic and crazy love for this man? For this mesmerizing voice, he is a walking soul all naked, burning all in its shine and flames.. He touchs us in a different way, directely on our instincts.
it just deeply hurts me that this fabuolus guy's life ended almost 30 years ago when he was only 30. i was not even existed back then you know, but while listening those masterpieces i kinda feel like i am holding his grief. rest in peace scottie.
This song is my ONE of my favorites. I came here today to listen and remember you on your heavenly birthday. You still calm my heart and speak to my soul.
Forget Her Jeff Buckley While this town is busy sleeping, All the noise has died away. I walk the streets to stop my weeping, 'Cause she'll never change her ways. Don't fool yourself, She was heartache from the moment that you met her. My heart feels so still As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow. Oh I think I've forgotten her now. Her love is a rose, pale and dying. Dropping her petals in land unknown All full of wine, the world before her, Was sober with no place to go. Don't fool yourself, She was heartache from the moment that you met her. My heart is frozen still As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow. She's somewhere out there now. Well my tears falling down as I try to forget, Her love was a joke from the day that we met. All of the words, all of her men, All of my pain when I think back to when. Remember her hair as it shone in the sun, The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done. Tell yourself over and over You won't ever need her again. But don't fool yourself, She was heartache from the moment that you met her. My heart is frozen still As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow. She's out there somewhere now. Oh she was heartache from the day that I first met her. My heart is frozen still As I try to find the will to forget you, somehow. 'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now.

I'm sick of the word "underrated" to describe musicians like Jeff Buckley, you only want likes... His music is not for everyone, is not mainstream or massive, it is artistic and that doesn't sell much, but he gave us a great legacy, he left great songs and they will keep sounding forever.
i definitely understand how sensitive this song is and how personal it must have been to jeff and i feel guilty every time i listen to it knowing that he intentionally retracted it from grace but i'm also grateful it was released
I have not listened to his music for a while, but when I come back to it I am always stunned by the emotional expression. His music never gets old, and I never grow tired of it.
It's so incredible how Buckley only released one studio album, and is not only considered one of the greatest albums of all time but one of the greatest artists of all time. Just shows you how special of a person he really was.
@@LucasRodrigues-wc6xg I recently lived that very thing. This song hit me right between the eyes, the lyrics seem addressed directly to me. The part about being all full of wine, a rose pale and dying dropping her petals in strange places, the color of her hair in the sun, the smell of the bed after she had brought a strange man into my room and my sheets, and the fact that now I know she was heartache from the day that I met her. This is some good songwriting, but I wish I didn't have to relate to it so well. But hearing the pain in the song's words and Buckley's voice gives me comfort that I am not the first and not the last to have endured such a betrayal. That is the beauty of poetry and human expression. Knowing that I am part of a vast tribe across the ages, all I can do is learn and move forward.
I was a fan of his dads music... Tim Buckley...and he died at age 28... then I read that the only son Jeff.. died at age 30.. there was a lot of internal emotion in this family that brought out deep feelings in their music.. It is so sad that they never got to find solace in their possible future and never had help resolving all issues... They would have reached a higher place with their talents ..eventually..
I'm grateful for the existence of this song, comforting to hear someone grasping the concept of "if you love her, let her go." I need that reminder every now and again to help to forget her myself.
This is literally one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard...
it really is..
Oh I love it too as I'm listening to it right now
All about mood setting, building tension, big release, but also restraint. There's a little bit of Roy Orbison in him.
Personally I think "Lover You Should Have Come Over" is the most perfect song but this comes close.
Agreed, great fun to play along to on drums.
His music is so raw and emotional, it feels so personal.
YUPPPPP!!!!
bc it was..❤️
That's because it is!! He sings for the suffering of others that don't have a way to express. Like most arrists
100% got him. His energy is just raw and emotional. Resonates with a lot of people.
It does!
Probably one of Jeff's most underated songs.
I feel that way about all of his songs. I've never met anyone who loves Jeff's music like I do. One of my favorite artists of all time. SO underappreciated it's a crime

@@kelleyflint8207 yes I get that 100%. All his music just has that quality about it. Sets it apart from most!
Kelley Flint Me too...his voice is magic.. so sad that he is not here today, May He rest in peace
God, he was so beautiful. I've been obsessed with him for five god damn years and I still can never get sick of even one song. I get sick of everything in five minutes. Not him.
He'll always be there as one of the greatest of all time
ever since I discovered Grace 13 years ago, I've never gotten tired of it. it's my favorite album of all time, on a serious note. It's haunting, poetic, the arrangements are flawless, jeffs vocals is like god himself singing through him. It sucks that he died and were stuck with Justin Beiber...why??!! lol
Thats cuz hes a legend. Not many of those left in the world anymore...
No there are not.. I believe all mine are in my name are gone..I loved them for their lyrics, their vocals, and no jerry Cantrell did not write all the lyrics for AIC,he wrote some and mostly Co wrote them with Staley, Staley wrote some on his own and especially in his band MAD SEASON.he was given total control over lyrics bc they knew his feelings towards his AIC (friends ) not Mike Starr his best friend who they kicked out in 93 making Staley worse..anyway CONOR is a new vocalist from a young band called nothing but thieves NBT who's been compared to Buckley, Thome York, Muse..Anyway he caught me completely off guard bc I watched his acoustic versions first, and live concerts first. He's got passion and a complete variety of influences alot like some of Jeffs , one of course is Zeppelin, where he has a live version, outside singing immigrants song during an earthquake and at first he's nervous then he of course decided he's got to do this. Their new and blows it out of the water. He's got lots that are kinda sad to viewers, kinda like Jeffs..but his voice is amazing. .completely surprised me and made me put his name with the others..bc I'd lost faith in today's music until I heard his band.
This song hurts my heart
so hard to forget someone that you love...
His voice is so beautiful … the way he says “heartache”
Today is 23 years since you left us Jeff. We will not forget. Rest in peace Jeff Buckley!

Is it really that long ago that he died?. Guess if. I'm getting older so is time passing for everyone. I also still miss his Dad, Tim Buckley,recently listened to his song " Siren". Just timeless,into ur soul. Hopefully they're singing together up in heaven!.
@@goodbyelullaby4894 Yes, 26 yrs ago.
Probably the most heartbreaking song ever written. RIP Jeff, we still miss you.
2:36-3:06 is one of the most astonishingly emotional passages of singing ever recorded...the man was a true one-off.
Such a beautiful sad song!
He reaches so deep in my soul it aches.
Imagine...there is a girl on this planet whom this song was written about!
It may be Elizabeth Fraser from the Cocteau Twins. They were together for a little bit.
Fraser herself declined their relationship being anything else than platonic. But even if she was lying, this is most probably not about her since they were friends until his death, so I don't think he ever tried to "forget her".
I believe her name is Rebecca Moore...not completely sure about the last name but def Rebecca..
MissMandy you're right it's Rebecca Moore
Jeff used to pick fights with her so he could be in that emotional mind state to write such beautiful songs such as 'Last Goodbye' etc. Yet Jeff thanks her father in the liner notes of the 'Grace' album, 'P. Thank you for her. Thank you for them all. Bless you for us two. Love, Jeff.' Rebecca's father's name was Peter.
Another note should be that 'Forget Her' was originally meant to be on the 'Grace' LP but Michael Tighe came to Jeff with the intro idea of 'So Real'. Jeff loved it so much that they worked it up into a song and 'Forget Her' was scratched in favour of 'So Real'.
Again, only in my understanding from articles I’ve read over the years. Mostly conjecture. Don’t believe anything you read right?
I’m living this exact song right now… Feeling every lyric and every note in my soul. I just hope I can forget her somehow.
Hey there, how are you doing? I hope you’re doing better😊
I can't believe this is the first time that I am hearing this song, absolutely amazing 4/22/2024
check out "lover you should of come over" and his cover of "I know its over"
Me too and it fits perfectly with my personal situation right now
Same. I wrote him off from Hallelujah which was a mistake
SAME WTF?
Beautiful isn't it. So is his dad Tom Buckley...have a listen...
Why haven't I heard of him at all in all my 17 years of living....Only discovered him while searching for the Hallelujah song. Saddens mean that he passed away in '97 two years before I was born. One of the best artist I've discovered on my own.
Discovered him from a friend not too long ago either, 2009. He's coming back full swing.
enjoy.... one of the best ever...
same i think im so lucky when i discovered him
I was Born in may 1997, couple days before he died and Just discovered him last year and I am so luck because of that, I am really in love with his songs and the person he was.
gabrielle arantes i think, and if you have 17 years, you are so great! Jefe Bucley, a really bic artist
This track is freaking godly. Chris Cornell and Jeff Buckley. My two fav vocalist and songwriters . Such a beautiful soul both of em .❤
This was always one of my favorite songs of Jeff's, even if I'd never lived these lyrics. My wife left at the beginning of the year, after 14 years together, for another guy. Finally, in my heartbroken state, this song is for me. I forever dedicate this song to her.
This is so sad :/ sorry for you bro
Same here, mate.
''her love was a rose pale and dying''
my condolences brother. these times there's nothing we can do. a cold mean slap used to keep a warm happy wife but alas it is no more. stay strong. you have more allies than you know.
I cry every time.

***** alright.
+Kiera Williams I always take a dump when i hear this song' I love it that much,
Rest in peace prodigy..... your music has always been my therapy- touched my soul!
Those guitar notes and his beautiful voice make me zone out of reality, this thing does something strange to my brain ♥

To my brain and my heart!
James Collins I loved the song, man! Thanks a lot ♡
9 years ago, my ex cheated on me with my best friend. I have not seen them since. This song is so relevant to me. 9 years on I wonder if I have truly forgotten her... and the unscrupulous things she did to me. Thank you Jeff for giving me a such a beautiful song to relate to.
Stay strong Dominic. She didn't deserve you nor did your friend. You'll find someone and something better ahead. All the best
Dominic Tong You don't have to forget her, but you do need to love yourself and want the best for yourself just as you would anybody else. If you love yourself you don't let people use and abuse you. F' her and keep it moving.
There are few daggers that sting more than when your best friend is the one. The girls can come and go while we understand it may not last. The best friend is supposed to be the one you fall back on for support when/if it crumbles.
It sours the rest of your friendships...
stay strong
Crybaby. You can never own another human being. Appreciate the time you had with her, and remember; feelings and thoughts born and die, just like people. Every second. Nothing is permanent except the change.
My heart crys out for Jeffs short life you can just see in his eyes and music the life he lived. What a person rip brother.
one of the best songs ever written. And probably, after jimi hendrix, Buckley' s been the biggest early loss ever. Lord give this genius the most comfortable feathered bed in Heaven.
And I'm sitting here at 12 o'clock at night listening to Jeff and crying my eyes out because I can't forget him...I love you Jeff...
😢❤️
Jeff is "the tear that hangs inside my soul forever'.
This song reaches into my body and rips my heart right out....
He was so magnificent
I realized It was not healthy , I realized that being In love with someone who doesn't love you back was not healthy . I made my choice I moved on , saw her In theatre she greeted me with her green blooming eyes smiled and stunned me again she was Indeed a heartache I'm still trying to forget her .
Ogi Chan 7 months later and I'm still trying to forget her. Things get a little better every day.
@@kaladin7487 It's been two years and it seems to only get worse.
@@sarisatechasukij9486 Damn I forgot about my comment. It feels like such a long time ago. Recently I met someone who I truly love and she loves me unconditionally for who I am. Just keep holding on, the right one is out there somewhere.
@@kaladin7487 Congratulations! I'm glad you've found the right one. I wasn't actually talking about a romantic relationship, just a friend I had sometime ago. We stopped talking for a stupid reason. But I'll get over her someday.
@@sarisatechasukij9486 3 years here. I got a girlfriend now, buts it's just not the same. You know, I think I fell in an endless pit of sorrow, I think of her first thing in the morning and when I go to sleep. I used to talk to my friends about her all the time, I don't do it anymore though, I made they think that I forgot her, but it's just beacause I don't want to worry them about my mental health. That relationship settle down too deep in my heart, and I have accepted that I will die with it.
Jeff's voice was the best in rock. Eddie Vedder and Freddie Mercury are right there behind him, But Jeff's has the most emotion and passionate and hits you in the heart and gut!
Easy, dude, that's a hell of a man-boy crush you're after there. He had a few decent hits, but he's no Dylan or Springsteen.
@@jpmacoo dylans voice never mattered, he was lyricist yes, a fine voice never. But i agree that "best voice in rock" is a strong statement.
@@sanchitomemito maybe best no, cause he just launch one album, but even robert plat said that he was just mind blowing live.
Chris Cornell is up there as well.
As a singer have to agree. Jeff was out of this world, taking nothing away from Freddie or others.
i cant explain how much i love jeff buckley
I’m here in 2024…remembering his father Tim. I got a few LP’s still. Gypsy woman…man what a father and son combo
this man was a shaman. he was from another world to which he then returned. ♡
A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR BUCKLEY'S ANGELIC VOICE AND THE SONGS HE WROTE! I hope nobody, nobody ever forgets this gem, ever, as long as beauty, poetry, songs, lovers exist!
It kills me that he died so young, smh. what a fantastic artist.
ETERNAL LOVE for this lovely boy, that i miss so so much....
The way he said sober 1:40 does something to my brain
Been reading the new Dave Lory book on Jeff(he was his manager) and the story around this song is so interesting. Jeff wrote it during the Grace recording sessions in just a short while but as time went on before the album was released, he grew to hate the song and would give everybody different reasons for why he wanted it dropped. Nobody understood why because it was a surefire radio hit and a great song but he was adamant. Ultimately it was dropped and So Real took its place. The manager thinks Jeff didn’t think it was good enough yet but I wonder if he wrote it in a moment of anger over his recent break up with his ex but then calmed down a bit and didn’t want her knowing just how he felt if it had been on the album.
Interesting. It does capture a very raw moment
Was his ex Joan Wssser?
Jeff was a beautiful soul. Miss him. ❤
the world wasn’t ready for him
sad, beautiful, tragic and powerful song... love this.
Happy 52nd birthday Jeff. You are missed, Dream Brother. We will never forget you.
I miss music and music videos like this🥺
this song is such a craft, such a gem, just gorgeous and original and so lovable as all of this songs and even the covers
Is there anyone in this world that could resist and don't fall in love, in a platonic and crazy love for this man? For this mesmerizing voice, he is a walking soul all naked, burning all in its shine and flames.. He touchs us in a different way, directely on our instincts.
every friday i swear bro is only here to ruin my weekends
it just deeply hurts me that this fabuolus guy's life ended almost 30 years ago when he was only 30. i was not even existed back then you know, but while listening those masterpieces i kinda feel like i am holding his grief. rest in peace scottie.
Today are 21 years without you. Miss u too much.
RIP
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard
This song is my ONE of my favorites. I came here today to listen and remember you on your heavenly birthday. You still calm my heart and speak to my soul.
his voice is so addictive
His voice was so beautiful
Emotion has a soul. Soul has a voice.
Forget Her
Jeff Buckley
While this town is busy sleeping,
All the noise has died away.
I walk the streets to stop my weeping,
'Cause she'll never change her ways.
Don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart feels so still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
Oh I think I've forgotten her now.
Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her,
Was sober with no place to go.
Don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's somewhere out there now.
Well my tears falling down as I try to forget,
Her love was a joke from the day that we met.
All of the words, all of her men,
All of my pain when I think back to when.
Remember her hair as it shone in the sun,
The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done.
Tell yourself over and over
You won't ever need her again.
But don't fool yourself,
She was heartache from the moment that you met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget her, somehow.
She's out there somewhere now.
Oh she was heartache from the day that I first met her.
My heart is frozen still
As I try to find the will to forget you, somehow.
'Cause I know you're somewhere out there right now.
thanks

Ooh, I think I've forgotten her now.
Her love is a rose, pale and dying.
Dropping her petals in land unknown
All full of wine, the world before her, was sober with no place to go.

You should consider a career in stenography.

@@hana_queen1516 wow thanks bro, 3 years I’ve been waiting for that answer
Still can't forget her
His songs came from the heart.
I never want it to end
I'm sick of the word "underrated" to describe musicians like Jeff Buckley, you only want likes...
His music is not for everyone, is not mainstream or massive, it is artistic and that doesn't sell much, but he gave us a great legacy, he left great songs and they will keep sounding forever.
most beautiful song ever written
i definitely understand how sensitive this song is and how personal it must have been to jeff and i feel guilty every time i listen to it knowing that he intentionally retracted it from grace but i'm also grateful it was released
This is so amazingly beautiful. Wish I’d have known this music when he was alive.
this song never gets old. absolutely love the lyrics with jeff's amazing voice. gone too soon. R.I.P jeff.
What a voice. Beautyful. Genius
this is so much more than a song
I have not listened to his music for a while, but when I come back to it I am always stunned by the emotional expression. His music never gets old, and I never grow tired of it.
'Forget her' and 'Lover you shouldve come over' are my faves. It really draws me in and found my self crying. 💙
such a treasure, he was and is
Breaks my heart every time...
Nádia Tristão me pasa lo mismo.
was sober , with no place to go ! Jeff has the most heartbreaking sound in his voice.
It's so incredible how Buckley only released one studio album, and is not only considered one of the greatest albums of all time but one of the greatest artists of all time. Just shows you how special of a person he really was.
Sooooo painfully beautiful ✨
A God of music, his looks, his lyrics, his everything
I’ll never forget her ❤
Yeah been loving him for 20 years now still feels like yesterday!
"...cause i know you're somewhere out there right now." this must be the most painful part of lyrics.
+Beyza Demirci Yes.
I'm agree :'(
Hi agree, I'm dad
No, man. "The smell of the bed when I knew what she'd done". Imagine that. She brought into the house. Upon their bed.
@@LucasRodrigues-wc6xg I recently lived that very thing. This song hit me right between the eyes, the lyrics seem addressed directly to me. The part about being all full of wine, a rose pale and dying dropping her petals in strange places, the color of her hair in the sun, the smell of the bed after she had brought a strange man into my room and my sheets, and the fact that now I know she was heartache from the day that I met her. This is some good songwriting, but I wish I didn't have to relate to it so well.
But hearing the pain in the song's words and Buckley's voice gives me comfort that I am not the first and not the last to have endured such a betrayal. That is the beauty of poetry and human expression. Knowing that I am part of a vast tribe across the ages, all I can do is learn and move forward.
I was a fan of his dads music... Tim Buckley...and he died at age 28... then I read that the only son Jeff.. died at age 30.. there was a lot of internal emotion in this family that brought out deep feelings in their music.. It is so sad that they never got to find solace in their possible future and never had help resolving all issues... They would have reached a higher place with their talents ..eventually..
why nature... is Like that?
Best song on the album you can just feel the emotion
He had such perfect pitch, what a awesome voice, and amazing talent he had. So young to die.
STUNNING
I'm grateful for the existence of this song, comforting to hear someone grasping the concept of "if you love her, let her go." I need that reminder every now and again to help to forget her myself.
Those chords though wow, amazing song
We will never forget you Jeff, I hope that wherever you may reside now, you have found happiness once more.
this song is nothing less than perfect.
