Originally uploaded on 17th of November, 2017. I made this as somewhat of a tribute to Jeff Buckley. He's a massive inspiration and wanted to give it a go. my instagram: / jimmystuch
With how he's just sitting out on a curb playing this song, I can't help but wonder if there was anybody off in the distance who heard him and just had to stop whatever they were doing to listen to this beautiful performance.
excellent. I think this is the gold standard for Jeff Buckley covers. Capturing the emotion without being an exact replica of the original, but instead succesfully adding your soul into the work. 10/10
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water Maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight, you're on my mind so You never know Broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it. Too young to hold on And too old to just break free and run Sometimes a man gets carried away, When he feels like he should be having his fun Much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no-one... So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return? Oh, will I ever learn? Oh, Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late. Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep That won't ever come It's never over, My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, All my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her... It's never over, All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter... It's never over, She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever... But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love From going wrong Oh... lover you should've come over... Yes, and I feel too young to hold on I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind To see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over Oh, love, well I'll wait for you Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late.
Beginning of the video: Happy and friendly dude who wants to sing a song he likes. During the song: A man who has felt the pain of every person's heartbreak at once. After the song: Happy as if nothing happened.
There are very few who can sing this song perfectly let alone in their own style. You gave this song your own touch without losing its beauty. Your version is touching as well as unique. Keep it up!
That poor little alley...it's alley friends will never believe it, and after years of listening to plastic bags twisting in the wind and screeching car tires in the distance, it would be hard to go on after hearing a heartbroken angel's voice reverberating off the alley walls on its way back to heaven, and knowing it'll never happen again.
i really didnt know what i expected, but i certainly didnt think i'd be weeping as much as i am. This was so fucking beautiful thank for for covering one of my fave songs so perfectly you angel
Jimi Davis I don’t think my heart is ready 😻😩 keep blessing us you beautiful, curly haired, ethereal angel. I really hope you make it one day the world needs real talent again 💛💛
Jeff's death was one of the greatest hits the music industries has ever taken...Just think of what he would have been creating still today. so sad... With that being said... Outstanding Job.
I came here for yet another Jeff Buckley cover, but I must say that I am truly blown away by your performance. Excellent rendition of this great song. You are gifted with a great voice.
You have the silent but deadly vocals. I did NOT expect you to pull out those notes and I mean that in the nicest way possible. This was unreal. You have incredible vocals! Keep doing what you do!👌🏼
with a all do respect no one will ever top Jeff Buckley ... BUT i believe that Lover you should've come over is arguably the greatest love song ever written ....and because i believe that Buckley was not a real mortal man..... YOU SIR ARE THE CLOSEST A HUMAN BEING IS GOING TO GET TO THIS WONDERFUL SONG, INCREDIBLE RENDITION ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING AND HEART FELT ... YOU DID THIS SONG AN HONOR AND IT HAS BECOME A MUST LISTEN .... CONGRATS!!!!
To anyone who comes across this comment, there's no such thing as "topping" another musician. There's only different renditions and vocal types, nothing about being "better" or "worse". I know it may be a difficult concept to fully assimilate, but this is at least what I believe to be most correct. Just enjoy music people, without doing comparisons ;)
What I love about your cover is that it's not a carbon copy at all while keeping the emotion and intentions behind it. It's a fun song to sing and a sad and rough one to sing as well. Usually sing it when I'm sad, everyone's got a different meaning with a song and this song is my kind of song to say how lonely I really am. Great cover by the way! I want an acoustic so I can cover it.
Your voice make me fell so good... I love this song and You make me remember a Jeff Buckley. I know that song sang with the sould. I apreciate is the Best song ever i listened thanks for that moment
My goodness I am pained that I only came across this jaw droppingly beautiful cover 😔 one of my favourite artists and songs of all time. Kudos to you sir ❤️ much love. Rest in eternal peace Jeff wherever you are ❤️
And.... a year later, I'm still listening to your version. Your voice is beautiful. 4 octaves !! And you play the guitar in a wonderful way. From Argentina, I follow you and I listen to you.
Dude. You just ripped the heart right out of my chest and left me sitting here wondering what in the ever living light I’m supposed to do now. That was beyond words, thank you. ❤️
Woah dude. You are so incredibly talented and in the flow of it is natural. You absolutely nailed that falsetto pinch in the last "to keep good love from going wrong". That part of the song always flicks my soul and makes me remember it's there. Shivers dude. You have a wonderful voice and excellent control over it. The 12 string sounds beautiful and the car parks natural reverb... Dam man. Dam. You got it brother. My deepest respect.
This is beautiful, man! This is my fav song ever, I was afraid to even hear the cover, but you did the great job, and what's more important you didn't imitate his voice you did it with your own and it makes it more realistic.
A 12 guitar strings (with 10 strings:) and alternate tuning ... and yet you capture the song like no one else in all its nuances. Best cover of this great great song, subtle and emotionnal. Thanks man, it's like listening to the orginal for the first time again.
Hey man. I think I've already commented on this video a year or two ago, when I first heard it - and I'm back haha. It sounds just as good the 100th time. None of the shine has worn off, and it is just as powerful and evocative. I hesitate to use the word "perfect" - but honestly this is as close as can be. I really can't overstate how tremendous this performance is. It's faithful without being a carbon copy, but it still has the spirit and feel that Jeff's music has. There is just something VERY special happening here. This song is already very special to me - and your interpretation of it will always be part of that magic now. I appreciate you, brother 🙏
I love this. Felt like listening to one of my favorite songs ever and glad this popped up when I searched. You did a fantastic job, thanks for helping keep the memory of Jeff alive for me.
Few people can make a cover of Jeff Buckley's songs as it requires artistry, emotions, and the ability to draw in the listeners to the space and story of a song. Thanks for this. 💙
Listening and watching this, it felt like you wrote this and that it was straight from your soul. I am a HUGE Jeff Buckley fan and this is my favorite song. You honored it and him, and you honored yourself and your talent. Thank you for this beautiful performance. Best wishes to you with your career. I'll be listening to more of you!
In like the span of a week, I just discovered Jeff Buckley, found out about his death, and now that we have the same birthday. Ik it’s only a parasocial relationship but I feel very emotionally drained. But I think I have a new birthday tradition now. Thank you, this is genuinely the best cover I’ve ever seen. Everything about it is perfect.
Finally someone who captures Jeff Buckley's spirit without ridiculously overdone vocals. Beautiful mate !
Yes. He expressed some of the anguish in the song. This is not a happy song, but a desperately beautiful and vulnerable one.
He's not your mate, buddy!
He's not your mate, buddy!
@@MrDazzlerdarren Cheers mate, will remember this for next time when I comment on a TH-camr’s video!
@@MrDazzlerdarren he's not your buddy, dude!

Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you're on my mind so
You never know
Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no-one...
So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return?
Oh, will I ever learn?
Oh, Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.
Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
That won't ever come
It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over,
All my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter...
It's never over,
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever...
But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love
From going wrong
Oh... lover you should've come over...
Yes, and I feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind
To see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love, well I'll wait for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.
Thank you 🙏
No words man.... Jeff is clapping from above. You are very talented
Beginning of the video: Happy and friendly dude who wants to sing a song he likes.
During the song: A man who has felt the pain of every person's heartbreak at once.
After the song: Happy as if nothing happened.
Never thought Blake Anderson from Workaholics would ever have me in tears but I was wrong
😂 same
I think this is my favourite cover I’ve ever seen, it’s the first one that’s actually made me tear up just the amount of emotion broke my heart
You won your "like", man.
YESSSS!!!
There are very few who can sing this song perfectly let alone in their own style. You gave this song your own touch without losing its beauty. Your version is touching as well as unique. Keep it up!
From the first strum I knew you were doing this justice. Really beautiful. I was eyes closed and listening.
Any musician attempts to cover Jeff songs is a brave soul. Youre good!
Hope some day the TH-cam algorithm will recommend this video to maaaaany people.
This masterpiece deserves more views!
4 years later, it brought me here.
Buckley would be proud of this!
It's all Perfect - the vocals, guitar, the mix, humble attitude, and especially the hair.
what this person said .... Finally someone who captures Jeff Buckley's spirit without ridiculously overdone vocals. Beautiful mate !
Yes man, yes. I am crying.
That poor little alley...it's alley friends will never believe it, and after years of listening to plastic bags twisting in the wind and screeching car tires in the distance, it would be hard to go on after hearing a heartbroken angel's voice reverberating off the alley walls on its way back to heaven, and knowing it'll never happen again.

You gem! So glad I could resonate with you on this song. Its one of my favourites too. Next Jeff cover is almost complete :) Grace is next
Jimi Davis I don’t think my heart is ready 😻😩 keep blessing us you beautiful, curly haired, ethereal angel. I really hope you make it one day the world needs real talent again 💛💛
"but i certainly didnt think i'd be weeping as much as i am" me too .....
3 years and still no match for this masterpiece
6 years later it turns up in my feed again. Still the best cover! That reverb is insane btw.
Eso fue interpretado con el corazón... fantástico.
Best cover of Jeff's Lover You should ve come over on Internet Period

you are a fanatic and a homosexual
@@thestrangemanreturns really? Dude, they’re just giving the guy praise. Please say this somewhere else

@@thestrangemanreturns wow that was abusive , ain't the stone age that's no longer an insult friendo.
I honestly might prefer this to the original. He certainly has Buckley's vocal talent
I'll never get tired of this version
I never comment on videos, but I was truly shocked watching this. That was incredible.
ive watched this about 40 times and i love it still good job very talented
Sweet baby Jesus you killed that. Unbelievable job man. wow
I never comment on TH-cam videos, ever. This needed one. Incredible cover of an already perfect song.
Every single time I listen to this song some tears fall down from my eyes.
This was one of the dopest covers i've ever seen.
I bet mr. Buckley was right next to you in that night. Such a beautiful cover. Thanks, man!
I broke replay button
Your pitch was literally spot on. Great energy and emotion dude!
My favourite ever song and this is very well done!
What a mesmerising voice! You are the dream vocalist of every band!💛
I can't count how many times I've watched this video. One of the best covers on TH-cam!

How fantastic. Supreme technique, yet used to express the music, not to show off.
You are a good musician.
My goodness I am pained that I only came across this jaw droppingly beautiful cover 😔 one of my favourite artists and songs of all time. Kudos to you sir ❤️ much love. Rest in eternal peace Jeff wherever you are ❤️
I’m waiting for the bit where the gang get out of the Mystery Machine and reveal he was actually Jeff the whole time
i ve seen buckley two times in paris , surely one of the best guigs in my life ...and you sing very nearest his sensibility bravo !!
damn, didn't know blake from Workaholics could jam......lol
best cover by a mile... the intricacy of the playing, the emotion and control in the vocal... this is as good as a cover can get!
Brilliant. Thank you.
Simply stunning....
your voice is beautiful. but that guitar playing... stunnnnning. I'm swooning
Man is the best cover i´ve ever saw of Jeff Buckley... So Beautiful! Congrats!!!
And.... a year later, I'm still listening to your version. Your voice is beautiful. 4 octaves !! And you play the guitar in a wonderful way. From Argentina, I follow you and I listen to you.
Did anyone else forget to breathe while listening to this?🙊 Extraordinary 🖤
Dude. You just ripped the heart right out of my chest and left me sitting here wondering what in the ever living light I’m supposed to do now.
That was beyond words, thank you. ❤️
Amazing, great performance! The best!!!!!!!!! Thank u man!
I keep coming back to this cover because of 6:28. Chills bro
Woah dude. You are so incredibly talented and in the flow of it is natural. You absolutely nailed that falsetto pinch in the last "to keep good love from going wrong". That part of the song always flicks my soul and makes me remember it's there.
Shivers dude.
You have a wonderful voice and excellent control over it. The 12 string sounds beautiful and the car parks natural reverb... Dam man. Dam. You got it brother. My deepest respect.
Just cried. Finally someone covers Jeff Buckley beautifully! Wow. I am extremely impressed. Brilliant! It’s such a hard song to sing and you did it!!!
This is my favorite song by Jeff Buckley and you by far have the best cover of it
Alright, hats off to you dude, gave me crazy goosebumps with those clean high notes! Amazing cover, i think Jeff would be proud 👏👏👏👏
Amazing vocals..Buckley is challenging to sing..well done
Your voice is absolutely stunning and so is your hair!!
Man, you make me cry. Thank you so much. Congrats from Brazil
This is the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard in my entire life
i always come back to this cover
Best cover of this song, in history
I clapped at the end even though you're not here! Great job.
Really good....We were sad at his passing. You did him justice
beautiful voice. beautiful playing. beautiful hair.
Absolutely amazing cover! The heart and soul are there. And that guitar tone, I hear some John Martyn?
Jimmy I've been listening to you since your "Cardinals" cover came out, you never cease to amaze me man. Its been years, and I always come back.
I always try to play like you, peacefully, controlling loudness of each strum but i can never do that.
enjoyed it very much.
Rezo Shelia The fact that you’re aware is the first step :) keep practicing strumming hard then soft and eventually it’ll be fluid for you too
thx :)
You're voice is like pure smelted gold mixed with diamond baked with blossoms from the greatest blossoming tree that has ever been produced
This is beautiful, man! This is my fav song ever, I was afraid to even hear the cover, but you did the great job, and what's more important you didn't imitate his voice you did it with your own and it makes it more realistic.

Best cover of this great great song, subtle and emotionnal. Thanks man, it's like listening to the orginal for the first time again.
Any idea what the tuning is? I'm just trying to figure it out. DADF#AD, maybe?
This is the cover of all covers. I weep it’s so good. God bless man.🤙🏽
Absolutely stunning! Vocally in the same range but with your own voice and the guitar tone is beautiful!

Amazing cover well done buddy! From a massive Jeff fan too
Literal shivers, this is how you do a cover!!
Thanks so much. For the first time someone who is not Jeff makes me cry with this (my favourite ever) song. God bless you.
Does anyone have a spare tissue? The passion in this song is so overwhelming and you nailed it. I'm very impressed. Thanks.
i am six years late but glad to have found this now
I can’t stop watching this cover man. Absolutely amazing work. Jeff would be proud.
I'm back, I always come back to this cover. So beautiful, so many shivers.
I love this. Felt like listening to one of my favorite songs ever and glad this popped up when I searched. You did a fantastic job, thanks for helping keep the memory of Jeff alive for me.

Jimmy Davis. What a find in you! Like Luke Dias said----beautiful and not over done. you are awesome.
Wow I’ve been looking for a voice to that does Jeff justice. You’re the best person to cover Jeff period! Please do more!!’
