The Question That Nobody Seems to Agree on...

[billyireland]

I've been asking around a lot lately, and none of my mates seem to pick the same song from Jeff Buckley's album 'Grace' as the best of the lot; I've never had so much diversity in feedback on which song is an album's best, probably because it's just such a damn-near flawless masterpiece. Mine would be Last Goodbye, what's yours?

I was waiting for that... I know it's a pretty cheesy song, but for some reason I can't stop listening to it.

anything by Jeff will do..

but if I had to choose:

"Lover, You Should.."

the documentary "Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley" makes it American debut at Cinequest, the San Jose Film Festival on 3/9 & 3/12...

In Europe, they speak of him in holy whispers. In America, he’s a mysterious footnote. His fans call him an angel. His life was short, but his extraordinary talent left his mark. He did his music not for the studios and money, he did it for people. He created a kind of religion and now people are committed to preserving his memory.

Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley, is an amazing tribute to the phenomenon of Jeff Buckley, a singer with a four-octave voice and a composer with a unique, impossible-to-classify genre. His genuine passion found its reflection in the mixture of rock, soul, blues, folk music that has been called a cross between Led Zeppelin and Nina Simone.

Directors Laurie Trombley and Nyla Bialek Adams, create an emotionally stirring chronicle of a magnificent talent about whom the world knew very little. Like many creative souls, Jeff Buckley came into this world only to leave far too fast. They say, “God keeps the best for Himself.”


I miss him...

This is a beautiful album.

I would have to say my favorite is, "Hallelujah." I saw him open for Juliana Hatfield in NYC, and the performance of this tune was tremendous.

His death really bothered me and had me in a funk for a few days. I feel very lucky to have seen him performed.


And I agree-it's a flawless album.

Seems like a reasonable candidate for Album Survivor.

His rendition of Hallelujah is absolutely haunting. It, along with Last Goodbye and Lover, You Should've Come Over - I can't really choose between them, they're the three that stand out just that little over the rest of the tracks.
