Even Jeff's speaking voice is like liquid gold.

As I am listening to this interview I realize I've heard it many times before. I find myself watching Jeff Buckley video's on here everyday and I don't ever get tired of him. When I get in my car, his cd is playing. No one will ever come close to this man.

[@Donna777]

Lukas Rossi comes kinda close... ;) He sounds similar to Jeff.

[@lucasfernandezsoares3967]

@@Donna777 To sound similar is not the same to coming close to someone as a complete person and unique artist. And, besides, wtf?!

[@Donna777]

Mojo Pin is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard in my life.

[@brendapatriciagoveamedina6646]

me too..

[@brendaluna173]

oh god, I love you his voice so much. I know he died but I don't think he really died, he's living an eternal life to me, I don't know, I never knew him but he sounds like he understood a lot of things that most people understand on their deathbed, and it's really nothing that he said, it's his voice, you just can't fake that honesty he transmitted

[@Donna777]

So true! He was an empath.

[@christianhaynes9981]

I enjoy the pun of eternal life, but yes I agree

[@weepingguitar23]

It is officially possible to miss someone you've never met, even though you DO "know" them. I feel like I know Jeff. He was such a beautiful soul. Thankful to hear/see any clippings of him talking/singing!

[@lochtessmonsterxoxo]

10:10 made my jaw drop to the floor. So many emotions in one long, powerful breath.

[@bekomallon9098]

I wanna cry I can’t believe he’s not here anymore. And when he was talking about the voice being passed down from generation to generation it makes me even more sad because he didn’t have a son to pass it on to...like just imagine if he had a son 😭😳

[@Georgian1717]

"It's an Irish thing you wouldn't understand"---Jeff's joking but he did recognize the genetic line was there but as he was aware the voice is the essence of the singer. His beautiful spirit was expressed through his voice. Those sounds and abilities come from the beyond worldly matters.

[@agatha7878]

That was a play on a tshirt of the time "it's a black thing you wouldn't understand." Jeff was quick like that.

[@leslie19471]

I guess I am out of step also, I just found Jeff and I'm loving it.

[@BrigitaMencigarJb29m]

like someone said, HE IS MUSIC. Pure. Grace thank you, Johnny Red

[@foreverastarkid]

this is beautiful quality, it feels like he's in the room with you. a kind of consolation to the fact that I'm missing him a lot tonight.

[@owenhunt]

Best performance I've heard of Jeff and nobody has listened to it... figures.

[@guitar5289]

Yeah he died the day after I turned 4, so I wasn't even aware of jeff and his music. But he has been such an influence for me to start singing and playing music..not that I sound nearly as good as he did, but music touches my soul like I know it did for him so I'm grateful to at least hear his recordings and be inspired by them. I wish I could have known him or seen him live or just had the experience to be their in the room with him because he was one of the most beautiful people in every way

[@14JohnnyRed14]

I'm glad I'm able to share this with every one and it's nice to know everyone loves it as much as I do. So you are all very welcome. Im fixing to post a live video of last goobye acoustic and I've sorta remastered it for hd quailty. It will be a video response to this soon. So check it out

[@cathsalazar9930]

Thanks dude new subscriber lookin forward to more from ya bless u for this awesome gem!!!!!!❤️👍🤟

[@mercedesbeene9536]

A question: I know this interview is from World Cafe, but would you happen to know where the Mojo Pin is from? I know it's not the one from this interview as he's with the band, while the one from the interview was solo...

[@Crazycupmuffin]

I have never been able to get enough of Jeffs incredible voice. The great thing about when he sang live is that every performance is different and thats really special. Hey johnny check out a song I wrote about Jeff and leave me a comment :) subbed.

[@amutinyinheaven]

the irish thing he mentions about his voice, i think he's totally right. ireland has the tradition of beautiful complex sean-nos singing so it was in his bloodline. genetic memory.

[@14JohnnyRed14]

@DannyHaleMusic It's amazing what he did in his short time here. He's the greatest vocalist of all time in my book. And from what I know about him he seems like he was a cool person and I also wish I could go back and be at one of his shows. His music is unlike anything else and no one will ever replace him. My pleasure!

[@janinepace6957]

love that I got to see him

[@HelloSignHere]

What an experience that must have been! I've been a loyal fan since I was 13 but never got a chance to see him.

[@xale7593]

love

[@TanNguyen-qm4di]

Jeff looks just like his father, Tim Buckley in this picture! Love them, their music both! ❤💖💕

[@SuperDelamancha]

great interview and beginning to Mojo Pin. Thanks to Jeff and Tim for coming to this world and sharing their beautiful gifts with us and inspiring so many musicians. Whenever i feel like i cannot press on all i need to do is put on Grace.

[@SierraSwanMusic]

RIP sweet Jeff.

[@JoaoPedro-rh9ry]

Amazing voice, thank's for share it with us.

[@cathsalazar9930]

Growing another gem on Jeff I’ll take all I can get killer interview thanks for posting!!!!👍❤️🤟🙏

[@owenhunt]

@14JohnnyRed14 What's amazing is that this is one of the less-than-twenty-in-total (I think) interviews available of him on KZbin. Thanks for posting this.

[@TammyKoo-j9d]

Thank you!

[@thissmallpocket]

Thank you so much for this.

[@erika6945]

It has a very pleasant voice

[@Georgian1717]

Amazing. Thank you.

[@lilyannelisa7815]

Beautiful soul ~

[@ninatanlaven7154]

his singing at the beginning sounds like indian classical singing-very cool

[@evygil]

GENUIS

[@14JohnnyRed14]

@weepingguitar23 Glad I could let you enjoy it as much as I do! Or love it,I'm putting up I Shall Be Released that Jeff sang over the phone.

[@nat00ben06]

1994 was the year Jeff Buckley was his strongest musically he was full tilt.

[@paulrichards167]

So damn honest #JeffBuckley

[@genevievehelies5622]

quelle beaute sensuelle et romantique un ange

[@isabellarzv]

curious on his talk about his grandfather being a singer

[@MaTeTris]

He's got a cold here.

[@14JohnnyRed14]

@owenhunt No problem,Its a great piece,

[@laurahenchoz1865]

Dude why put a commercial while he’s singing. It hurt so bad ! 😑

[@heathereton5582]

No auto tune needed.

[@nat00ben06]

Listen to neath the beeches by Gary Hansard dedicated to Jeff! ;

[@14JohnnyRed14]

@owenhunt 129 views is fine with me,it should have a million but as long as some people still know what good music is that's ok. I put up a new live video the other day

[@owenhunt]

@respectable66 Did my 'recent actions' bequeath this video to you on your user page? If so, I am glad to help. What, with my love for Buckley and all that. :D

[@14JohnnyRed14]

He died in 1997.

[@3N3J4NG12]

Which singer do they mention at 3:16? Can't figure it out...

[@14JohnnyRed14]

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Not sure if I spelled it right,haven’t listened to his stuff in a while.

[@Crazycupmuffin]

@weepingguitar23 im 26 and I miss him :(

[@gabrielb2548]

What is the song playing from 4:30 and so on?

[@14JohnnyRed14]

Gabriel B Mojo Pin

[@gabrielb2548]

Can't seem to find the live version of this intro, assuming that it is live...

[@14JohnnyRed14]

Gabriel B If you're referring to the part where he is strumming and talking that's not a particular song that I'm aware of. He would pick on the guitar while he talked in a lot of his interviews just for fun. I have other live versions of this song that sound a little different on my channel however.

[@14JohnnyRed14]

Gabriel B It kind of sounds like What Will You Say

[@gabrielb2548]

Ah, maybie it is What Will You Say. Such a beautiful melody! Thank you!

[@14JohnnyRed14]

@Crazycupmuffin What is the name of your song?

[@Unseen1sland]

stay off television. read a book

[@fuckinziggy]

lolsrsly

[@serenitusaurum]

Shefati Alee??? aahhh I need to find the reference but don't know how the fuck it should be spelled!!!!

[@griiledcheese444]

Nusrat Fateh Ali Kan

[@moscy11]

[@elmoqazi]

[@lucy-rv1in]

lop paa passed away

[@buckleygeneration]

LOL

[@JulietsMan]

i love how girls react to Jeff. They are so clearly damp from his appearance and therefore even the most inane absurd thing from his mouth makes them flo0d and its almost purely physical. I have heard Jeff play with this point. He will say some things that he needs to express, things important to him, his personal views on art, society, family, love, etc very philosophical stuff. Then he'll say something purposely absurd or crass or low brow. And thats when the little internal vibrations start. Deep inside the moist and flushing pulse, the racing hearts and throbbing. He KNOWs he could say anything do anything and girls would, will and probably DID in many cases, go for it. Because dreamy, because precious soul, because angelic, because talent...bla bla bla. The truth is this: Honesty, art, sincerity, sensitivity, vulnerability, expressiveness, lack of ego, emotionality; Creativity, all of these things will go FLATLY UNNOTICED, taken for granted, scoffed at, and shunned unless you happen to be HEART THROB in some way. Jeff Buckley made teeny boppers out of the most pretentious and self-absorbed women. He was aware of his power and i think he knew it was his travail that would ultimately prevent him from ever TRULY being taken seriously. SO, accolades and credit were unimportant to him. He was never lastingly seduced by the cooing frothing masses of females who overlooked his art, unable to understand him in any meaningful deep way. He knew that his true connection was going to be with his band and others creative artistic being that he collaborated with. Probably, when he saw that even this community became starstruck with him, started to see him as a commodity, see him as an inexhaustible well of PR potential, that he then started to feel disenchanted to some extent. I hear it in his mourn, his screams, i hear disdain, disappointment, helplessness. And ultimately in songs from "Sketches" i think there was a fair degree of resignation there. He was talented enough that he probably still had light years to travel artistically. But i think he saw that the end was going to be as unceremonious and short-changing as his dads end.

[@naneeleo823]

hm .. i agree with you on some points , yet i truly believe Jeff was far too aware & LOVING , to be playing (even in his mind) with terms such as " cooing frothing masses of females " it comes across very bitter . I suggest you look deeper into this statement , my Friend JulietsMan . Sometimes we pro-yect .

[@hannahmeersseman8830]

sounds like a very deep and thoughtful type of mysoginy you've got going on there. I agree with naneeleo, your statements tell more about you than about Jeff. So maybe it's not relevant here.

[@krapulanta]

this point of view is vaguely misogynistic to me. “females” can and DO appreciate art as it is, as something to express your soul, without it being a spectacle and this “frothing and cooing” you talk about having absolutely nothing to do with it. there will and always has been people of any gender that do not appreciate the intergrity in people’s artistic expression or people whose artistic expression completely lacks integrity and isn’t genuine. both kinds of people are derogatory to a real artist and view them as something they can gain from personally and selfishly. women and men alike are guilty of this albeit in different ways, either way, you making the distinction like this is completely pointless since their motivations are most of the time exactly alike.
