Interview in Paris With Jeff Buckley

[@alexparadise91]

“I don’t have your voice” “And I don’t have yours” Brilliant and sweet response

[@charlescantbreathe]

I've never wanted to meet somebody as much as I've wanted to meet Jeff. There is something so pure about him. He was such a beautiful guy. I'm thankful for dreams. At least I can meet him in those.

[@mistyisland343]

ah, the raunchy kind - dem is the best. I feel you Charlie you wild soul.

[@feonor26]

Just reminds of me the words of Bill Hicks: We live in a world where good men are murdered in their prime, while mediocre hacks thrive and proliferates. Which is so true, talent dies and disappears young while utter crap keeps on living.

[@jakegravad4342]

I listened to his hallelujah many times, and it brings me to tears and complete stupefaction, the music AND subject matter...and the way he sings, but it never occurred to me to look him up...until now. What a genius! And perfect guy, perfect singer...holy crap!!!

[@cindymcdaniel1030]

If only we could have realistic dreams ,. Even tho we can't be with Jeff in this life. Ahhh. The fantasy. 💕💕💕

[@linziRyan1965]

Yes my obsession with Jeff caused the most beautiful dreams. He’s pure energy. Pure creative, emotional energy….I have never been so in love with a musician that my fantasy can stop at just a deep kiss… that’s enough. He’s so magical.

[@pedropablo7364]

I was so impressive that i start to laugh about it

[@michaelairley2015]

I went down here to check if anyone had written about it. Crazy!

[@robertdaly5568]

Yes, I caught that too, so musical, well spoted😉

[@beatzguy]

I love how eccentric Jeff Buckley is. You can clearly tell he was a true artist by his body language. Notice how he talks to himself, has nervous ticks, and looks around. To me that shows how wrapped up in his music he was. Truly a great artist.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

Seriously, you really think that you can tell he was a true artist based on his body language? Wow, talk about reaching!

[@gerardo.b3026]

@@sarcasticallyrearranged not really, you are just have not seen the pattern that every great in any area has. Seriously almost every person who's contributions to anything that are in the history books has things that people think are not normal, habits, lifestyle.

[@sinceunati]

@@gerardo.b3026 The problem is how people treat the eccentric artist who doesn't hit it big. And many of those are 10x's as brilliant as the artists who have "made it". If they're not rich or famous they're just looked at as weirdos or freaks. I'm sure Buckley would be looked at like a total goon if he didn't become a legend.

[@mikeypeinado383]

meth makes me like that too. lol

[@mattiloponen92]

YES

[@lilmoth227]

when he said "I love you" in the sincere way I kinda melted a little.

The way he says "I love you" the second time is just absolutely perfect.

[@MissJensk1]

It is!

[@forgottenfortyfarm330]

It’s how every one wants to hear it and how they want to hear it said

[@NinefoldComplex]

Instantly wet panties

[@emmawatkins1136]

its sweet to see how nervous he makes her.

[@chillcloud5352]

Its the ocean in her panties

[@MissJensk1]

I think she's falling in love with him a little bit . . .

[@nevermind19700]

Elizabeth said it best , he just had something that you wanted. Everyone wanted a piece of Jeff, he just drew people in.

[@AthenaIsabella]

His “uhhhhh” at 00:26 is prettier than angels singing, I’m so entranced by him

[@queensinthesky]

It's so sad to hear Jeff talk about how much he and his band have grown since Grace, suggesting how such better stuff would be coming. We'll never hear it in completion and that's really upsetting.

[@Sarzzy59]

Actually they're releasing an album soon! Of unreleased stuff I'm pretty sure

[@cerolyn]

God, he seems so innocent and why am i crying

[@jasondonato5515]

Fuck so am I...

[@chillcloud5352]

Coz youre a pussy

[@MissJensk1]

I dunno but so am I.

[@issabellevu8273]

"when can we expect another album?" "when im 47, 48" he would have come out with another album last year or this year. jeff had so much in store for us and we'll never hear it. its a shame

[@johnarundell7951]

He would've released 'My Sweetheart The Drunk' in late '97 or early '98 at the latest :)

[@Kristianne12111992]

+issabelle vu oh my gosh........... this makes me tear up...... :((((( i share your pain..

[@girraud]

It is so sad to hear him say that he'll probably give his best when he's 47 years old. I'm almost 45 and I was born in 1966 also. I wish he had more time to give us what he thought was his best, but I can't hardly imagine what that would be. The recordings he left with us are so beautiful already. I appreciate the gift he left for us. Thanks Jeff Buckley.

[@jaderozner8535]

He's so right about the media, the press makes it about them, wanting to get attention to 'their' story.

[@sammichaels1528]

i could listen to him talk all day

[@NoName-nq8fk]

He was such a beautiful soul

[@123cillitbang]

Such a beautiful soul. So deep, insightful, profound and empathic. Are there any humans like this any more?

[@gabbylima4316]

I know every word Jeff says in this god damn interview.

[@owenhunt]

+Gabrielle Lima I know.

[@rosakami65]

Me too. Like each and every word😅😅

[@MollyKL]

I miss him. I genuinely do... No, I wasn't alive when he was. But I miss him, every day. I don't think I'll ever be so affected by a person in my entire life, the way he affects me... It's like, he's the only person I've ever really felt connected to. I would give anything to go back in time, to just see him live. I would just sit there, utterly silent... Not saying a word, not thinking anything, just listening.

[@lunaderacine]

By watching this interview, sad as it is, he wasn't meant to live long. His soul, the aura and intensity that I sense, it's on an entirely different wavelength; he was just too damn pure for this world. This thing I notice among all my favorite dead musicians is the same. I can't describe it right, but Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith, Kurt Cobain, and others I can't presently think of, I hope you all have found your peace. ❤

[@jackgillespie3431]

I love how laid back yet on point he is

[@Iamthepossum]

“Where does your voice come from?” ~ “The same place yours does” “But I don’t have your voice?” ~ “And I don’t have yours”… -Thank you, Jeff. Please help us remember that; we always forget. 🙏🏻

My heart melted when he said, "I love you", the second time.

Even his speaking voice sounds melodic at times. Who is interviewing him? She does a great job because she asks great questions and let's him finish his sentences and gives him time to speak.

oh the irony that i'm just filling time by watching jeff's interviews. i'm not living life at the moment, though i don't feel like it.

[@simisolarenergy]

His authenticity can’t be faked I admire him a lot we need more genuine people like him.

[@ge7296]

this brought me to tears, how can the universe make such a beautiful talented and clever creature of music and take him so soon

[@lilmoth227]

People like him aren't meant for this world... at least that's what calms me down at night when I'm up thinking about all those people who've left this world and left the rest of us behind.

[@YukiKunikida]

Definitely Buckley was meant to be an angel.

[@maria.maverick]

Karen M Oh wow. I just realized that. The King of the Hill episode "Buckley's Angel". Damn, as if I already wasn't sad enough.

[@mattbatt3091]

I feel that there is some deeper connection between Buckley, River Phoenix and Lauryn Hill, they were all big in the 90s,young, super talented with with deep souls.

[@Izaak247]

"I don't have your voice" one of the greatest quotes ever

Very deep and talented guy. God his impersonations in this interview are so funny.

[@mayatiita1]

Oh my God! What generous and open and honest and kind person he is. He is sweet and funny and truthful and humble. What a great interview! Love Jeff! And love his music!

seriously, Jeff Buckley did only one album, and he died before making any other album... THAT ALBUM IS PERFECT, IMAGINE WHAT HE COULD HAVE DONE AFTER! Thumbs up for one of the best album of all time, and best singer! (I don't need any thumbs up)

[@mskipper19]

This is an all-time top 5 interview by any person ever. Jeff Buckley was a real person.

[@marosimálna]

In this interview he is very reminiscent his father.

[@ModarKajo]

I find it very interesting that an extraordinary singer such as Jeff, when naming the artists he'd like to emulate, he picks Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen, the first three singers that come to mind when speaking of great vocalists who can't sing.

[@marcusfairweather9432]

Modar Kajo Singers, they are not. But wonderful lyricists and very passionate, they are

[@Not_Mii_Uus]

@@marcusfairweather9432 they sang, sounds like something a singer would do to me. Why are we so obsessed with gatekeeping artists?

[@zoebella314]

@@Not_Mii_Uus would you respect someone more if they sang with all their heart and soul, but didn't sing well in the conventional sense, or someone who singing came easy, yet didn't give a shit about the music they portrayed to the world, one would make you feel amazing, and sleep good at night, and the other would just leave you soulless with money

[@smokeycheebah9169]

[@jekisha8]

This voice makes my heart full..It is under my skin, I can't help it..It's to late to let it go. I'm simply obsessed in a way I never was. I can't do anything truly without him... any part of him: talking, singing, playing, writing... I just need a big dose of Jeff.

[@ginawhoever9734]

i am a *major* audiophile... meaning, i am *very* sensitive and aware of sound... sound all around me really... but it isn't someone's eyes i see and fall in love with first, or their lips or smile, it is *always* in their *voice* i can hear someone behind me and get that 'love at first sight (but it's sound) feeling' before i even 'see' them... had i been in her chair, when he explains 'i love you.' and "i lovve you..." i would have probably had a Chernobyl moment... i cant breathe when i hear it on video... my heart would probably pause as well in person... oh heavens.

[@gbeansmama]

Ahhhh, I fell in love with your words :)

[@ginawhoever9734]

gavinbeansmama awww thank you. it can sometimes make things difficult... like listening to music that i hear with my soul, when i am around other people... it sometimes ends in a whisper such as "ummm is she autistic?" or something along those lines, haha. there are certain albums i KNOW not to try and drive to... because a sort of spastic trance happens, which is dangerous on the road... just certain things sometimes. but it's okay, hearing the music or even listening to a loved one's voice so intently more than makes up for any of that stuff.

Wow! He's so smart and passionate. R.I.P Jeff.

[@peacefulpisces5336]

Great person

[@22markski22]

I think he was scared to release a new album, in fear of how harshly the media can turn someone's life completely around. Going from angelic like Grace, to possibly the worst review ever. He was super sensitive and always wanted to be completely understood through his words. I'm the exact same way.. And the anxiety it brings along is awful. He's resting peacefully now, with his legacy left as grace.

[@rainmaker690]

+mark ferlisi First time I've ever seen an interview by Jeff Buckley---I love the remarkable Grace, and his other compilation Sketches From My Sweetheart The Drunk---it has such a range of different tunes on there--it's worth getting just for all that alone. He definitely seemed odd and nervous here, but that's what make this such an interesting interview---it's not your typical Q&A, which is refreshing. He also did that great transcendent version of a Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah" which is by itself worth getting Grace for (that and the incredible title track,which I used to play to death because I loved it so much.

[@22markski22]

+rainmaker690 I completely agree. It's almost poetic, how he handles himself. I always work on not worrying so much, and nothing eases my mind more, than Jeff Buckley. It's ironic, but the music of an odd/nervous guy, is what helps everyone else relax. I know what you mean, nobody covers a song quite like Buckley.

[@22markski22]

+rainmaker690 "Lilac Wine" is my favorite.

[@annereidy7981]

No, I think he thought fuck this I'm out of here!
