BORN: November 17, 1966, Orange County, CA DIED: May 29, 1997 Born in California's Orange County on November 17, 1966, Jeff Buckley emerged in New York City's avant-garde club scene in the 1990's as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation. His first commercial recording, the four-song EP Live At Sin-e, was released in December 1993 on Columbia Records in the United States and Big Cat Records in the United Kingdom and Europe. The EP captured Buckley, accompanying himself on electric guitar, in a tiny club in New York's East Village, the neighborhood he'd made his home; the record's selections included two cover tunes laced with soaring vocal improvisation: Edith Piaf's "Je N'en Connais Pas Le Fin," Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do" a More... (Submit New Jeff Buckley Lyrics) (Submit New Jeff Buckley Lyrics) Review about Jeff Buckley Dream Brother... | Reviewer: lover. ------ About artist/band Jeff Buckley when i first heard Jeffs music i couldn't belive, that someone can make something like that. i just cannot find any word to name his music. brilliant? perfect? every time i hear any of his songs i start crying. i just wanted to hear and see him alive. why has it happend...? It's a song he wrote for Chris Dowd | Reviewer: Wofats ------ About the song Dream Brother performed by Jeff Buckley "Dream Brother" is Chris Dowd (Former member of Fishbone). Chris' marriage had come to a crash and Buckley is asking his friend to not end up doing to his children what his father did to him. (Not have much to do with their lives.) Jeff appears on Chris' album "The Seedy Arkistra". 'N stuff! Love the new Buckley live disc "Grace Around the World" that just came out. real musicians dont write for fame and fortune | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forget Her performed by Jeff Buckley buckley refused to put this song on grace cause it was too personal, which is why it wasnt released until after his death. if thats not the notion of a true artist, then i dont know what is. he wrote songs like this because he needed to, it was his soul coming out in the form of music, which is why they are so powerful. Correction | Reviewer: Samantha ------ About the song Grace performed by Jeff Buckley I just wanted to point out to the person who said that no body was found, they actually did find his body about 6 days after he drowned. Anyway, this was the first song I heard of his. My teacher (I do a music course) played it in class for the guitarists to listen to, and I fell in love with it. Ever since then it's pretty much been played several times a day in my house lol. I love this song and the entire "Grace" album. R.I.P Jeff. Dream Brother | Reviewer: Colourblind_Kurt ------ About the song Dream Brother performed by Jeff Buckley I also think it's about lost love and with a message for his father too, and maybe saying "don't do what my father did"... Don't be like the one who made me so, don't be like the one who left behind his name... Or this is how I feel about it, sometimes we listen to music we can relate to, and we find our own meanings to them. That is why it touches us so deeply... especially with Jeff's voice, so filled with emotions (like he's playing on the strings of our soul, as a special someone told me once)... whatever, it's such a beautiful song... Thanks Yavin for introducing me to Jeff Buckley :p Listen folks | Reviewer: madrason ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley MUsic can be beauty and defining beauty is a hazardous thing to do. So just enjoy the different versions. If so many people covered the song there must be some universal beaty in it aint it so? And if you've touched an angel's hair then you can tell us you were there; Now we touched it all so do something good with it and enjoy! ugh | Reviewer: Me ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley When I first heard this song as preformed by Jeff Buckley I thought it was alright and nothing all that spectacular. But my fuck... once I heard the original version by Leonard Cohen it's just crazy in comparison. I don't know when this Jeff Buckley guy sings it in comparison to Leonard Cohen there just isn't the same emotion behind it... it just doesn't seem as real. Which I know is a terrible way of articulating my thoughts. But I don't know... this version just feels like some cheap bastardization of a truly beautiful song. I don't know maybe I'm just delusional... but it just doesn't have the same feel behind it. Fuck... I'm terrible at describing this. Perfect | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Last Goodbye performed by Jeff Buckley Jeff Buckley's voice is perfect in this song. I just love it. The words are truly amazing and it's hard not to shed a tear when you listen to it. As like most of Buckley's songs the words are so deep and dark but yet not depressing. I have only recently started listening to his music but can't stop talking about it.Perfect just sums it up nicely Amazing | Reviewer: David ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley This version of the song is amazing. It's so powerful. Jeff Buckley, however did not write this, it was Leonard Cohen. Leonard wrote 80 odd differet verses vefore he was happy with the song that we all know. Anyone who wants to dispute that it was Leonard Cohen that wrote it, go ahead, but I know as i'm doing music at college haha! But seriously, Jeff Buckley's is the most powerful and emotional version that's been done. I love it. last goodbye | Reviewer: eric ------ About the song Last Goodbye performed by Jeff Buckley this song the lyrics the way jeff sung it it's just so..dark and beatiful. i cry everytime... the love of my life doesn't love me anymore.. so,this our last goodbye.. what else i can say beside i still love her..........and will always will.... Perfection | Reviewer: Lee ------ About the song Dream Brother performed by Jeff Buckley Without wanting to beat about the bush, I think this is the best song of all time. Every version. The album version for its haunting beauty, the olympia version for the rollercoaster voice style, the chicago one for the repeated "flying buckley" operatic notes, the sony one for the intro you never want to end. And the rest. Simply art. amazing however misinterpreted | Reviewer: Django ------ About the song Dream Brother performed by Jeff Buckley I personally think the song is about abandoment. He is in love with someone that he knows is going to leave him, "The love you lost with her skin so fair...and your kiss on the lips of another" and he's asking her not to in the chorous saying everyone else has left me dont be like all the rest of them. In the end he's lost his love and wants to die because of it, "Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over" ...it's all about pain! | Reviewer: Venera ------ About the song Forget Her performed by Jeff Buckley Grace is one of my favourites albums ever. It haunts you, it disarms you with its natural and pure beauty from within. I'm eager to listen to this song over and over, it's amazing... but it hurts so badly... Is this the original? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley While I love this song by Jeff and the Rufus version is also good, wasn't this song originally created by Leonard Cohen? I am not completely sure on this but we should give credit to the creater of this song and not only the people who have redone it. Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Forget Her performed by Jeff Buckley I'm speechless. I've just listened to this song for the first time and I'm actually gob smacked, it's so powerful! I absolutely adore everything he's done. I especially like Yard of Blonde Girls and Lover You Should've Come Over :) His father | Reviewer: Sebastiaan ------ About the song Dream Brother performed by Jeff Buckley I think this song is about his father: "Don't be like the one who left behind his name" "'Cause they're waiting for you, like I've waited for mine" (but nobody ever came) It's so emotional, it's a great song. Hallelujah | Reviewer: Chris Bradley ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley This is by far the best version of this song I like Rufus Wainright's version of the song too but this is my fave :) Alexandra should have never sang it to be quite honest. Did you know there are over 700 verses to this song, so that Jeff could sing a different verse depending on his mood and it took him over 3 years to write :O He will live on | Reviewer: heather ------ About the song Grace performed by Jeff Buckley Im 18 and Jeff's songs, especially Grace send shivers down my spine. My children will be sure to hear him, and love him. The way i see it, his music will always move people, and will be passed on. At least, this way he will always be remembered. Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Last Goodbye performed by Jeff Buckley I love this song. his voice is amazing its so sad that he died so young imagine the career he would of had if he was still alive amazing. I can listen to this song over and over again without getting sick of it love it :) some stuff | Reviewer: Lava! ------ About the song Lover, You Should've Come Over performed by Jeff Buckley It's a coincedence, but isn't it strange the lyric that says "their shoes fill up with water" is connected to the way he died? He drowned, they say, due to the boots he was wearing...they filled up with water. Remember though, this is just my own opinion. And, it's only coincedence.
