Jeff Buckley - I Woke Up in a Strange Place [Acoustic]

[@theindiediary5950]

When I compare artists. I never mention Jeff Buckley. Simply because I keep his music in it's own realm away from the rest of the musicians. He made music for the very soul.

[@seangatehouse6547]

@@claudiabuga1739 yess Nick Drake too! It's as if there are a very special few that can hit that pure soulful realm, and leave people trying to figure out where the hell it came from. Check out Matt Corby or Tamino!

Blues?

[@jenniferjohnson9302]

only certain musicians make true music coming from the depths of their soul and Jeff was definitely one that kept digging no matter what it took too many drugs took him away from us i wish musicians would realize the life is what kills the talent

[@termsofusepolice]

It's a crime there is only a live and not a studio electric, full band version of this magnificent track. The MOST underrated Jeff song IMO.

Abso, I play this one all the time on guitar. It's just an amazing song.

[@allisonnegreiros8220]

Some weeks ago i dreamt about a guy drowning and dissapearing in front of me while I was in the beach, having warning him about the crazy waves thst were coming. I woke up really sad and moved about it. Few hours later, KZbin recommended me a concert of Jeff Buckley, who i never listened to before. I started to cry hard because of his delivery and soulful songs. Then, to my surprise, I found a video about his death. I was really really shocked. Since then, he had such a profound impact on me. I cry everytime I think about him... I feel like I lost a loved one. Sometimes I like to think that he reached out to me in my dreams for a reason.

[@Sunflower-a16s19]

I am super late to the Buckley party. I just discovered this beautiful human November of last year. His music speaks deeply to me. This song in particular hits the core hard. 💜💜💜

[@irenedantoart]

listen to his version of "Dido's lament"

[@b.a.7228]

Ghost comes to visit with my keys in his pocket Kisses on my mouth with his eyes rolling out of the socket Memories crumbling under solid steel resistance I was torn out like pages from The Book of Existence I woke up in a strange place My mind a blur and some blood on my chin I made a call for that Black Death cab My destination is moving on in And I remember words you told me Came down so hard, so plain Fate is gonna find you, Love, In your glass of champagne Love came calling as a counterfeit mistress Stealing from the pockets of her sadomasochist Mouthing false praise like a tongue on crystal meth Cigarette smelled like the fear inside my chest Yes and I lied to my host that I knew how far I could go When I emptied my guts out on his brand new stereo He paid me to go on upstairs and spend the night with his friend I never want to see my face in the mirror again I woke up in a strange place Music so loud I spit up my beer I took a ride down in that Black Death cab My destination is already here Easy now, car is speeding up For my last chance crash into freedom Fate is going to find you, Love, In your glass of champagne Sweat pours down, I'm in the back seat sleeping She watches from her empty bed, out the window, weeping Ghost guns that motor to the land that he promised me Drawbridge abandoned and the mother needs nowhere This is a song for you, Dislocated, You're born to love, but it turned to be hated Because the lies of the spirit possessed you Because the eyes of your lover resist you Listen up, boy, I'm shouting from the bottom Of a barrel, heading down the rapids, yeah Steady now, keep your aim solid As your temple turns to kiss the pistol Fate is going to find you, My Love, In your glass of champagne Fate is going to find you, Love, In your glass of champagne Fate is going to find you, Love, In your glass of champagne

[@MOON23SHADOW]

Thank you for posting the lyrics.

[@DiegoMadferit]

It's sad that he never got to record this on the studio, one of his best lyrics

[@maria.maverick]

Like how does one think of construing these words together? Such beautiful, haunting poetry. His mind was an enigma.

[@rezeski]

Yes, thank you for providing the exact lyrics elsewhere are bit off from this.

[@b.a.7228]

@@rezeski Most welcome. It was a half-hour well spent.

[@siennaburley7405]

I discovered Jeff only 8 months ago and since then I have been completely bethrothed and devoted to his music like I never have experienced before. This is one of his songs that speaks to my heart and soul. Its so excruciating and unbelievable that he is actually gone and it breaks me every day, and it will riddle me to the end of time. He is the definition of being completely timeless: his poetry, his skills, his voice, his beauty, his everything! My heart and soul and the bane of my inspiration (as he is to many, many others). I am so glad to be apart of this community! We will never, ever forget you Jeff.

[@nast8219]

SAME! I only got into his music heavy back in July but oh my lord i listen to him like everyday atp. I don't think i've ever been more obsessed with an artist in my life then my Buckley obsession these past 6+ months

[@emilietomasi7086]

Même phénomène ici. J'ai, depuis peu, développé une véritable obsession pour cet être venu d'ailleurs. Je croyais être devenue un peu folle mais je vois que je ne suis pas la seule, ça me rassure, un peu

[@grrwyz]

same!!! i only got into him of may last year, but i fear he's becoming my favorite artist of all time. i haven't been this passionate about an artist in a very long time.

[@Purplealegria7]

Add me to this list. I just discovered him earlier this year, became quickly obsessed, and he is becoming one of my favorite artists of all time. I have never had this kind of visceral reaction to anyones music like this before. I lost my mother in February and without Jeff, I really don't know how I would have made it through the excruciating sadness and sorrow. His music is so full of passion, fire, soul, inspiration, deep truth, and great beauty. It has affected me deeply, set my soul ablaze, and healed my heart from great loss. I found myself when I found him. There are not enough words to express what he and his music mean to me. His death was a tragedy and a great loss for music as well as humanity. Thank you Jeff, Its never over.

jeff is a place inside me who i will never can touch.

[@jenbarlow36]

Awesome. I dreamt last night that Jeff was alive, and that I got to see him perform live (one of my regrets that I never actually got a chance to do). I didn't want to wake up. But when I did, this song was in my head.

One of the most important musicians in my life that meant everything to me and still hits deep whenever i listen to his work as he is just one of those songwriters that grabs you by the soul. Especially this masterpiece.

[@snoozieboi]

I haven't commented here before? I actually prefer this over the full band live recording. What a story, the gritty, dirty guitar, the images, the lyrics. The dirty perfection. I jank it out on my guitar as good as I can, I'm atheist, but I hope and imagine he somehow could hear it and feel a little proud.

Personally i find the Acoustic verison far more meaning full then when he preforms with the band. something about being able to let loose when you're in a room with only one person and a mic opposed to in front of a scearming crowd. Not to say Jeff couldn't do that but this is a strange song.

Jeff did this song live at a radio station, WXRK, December 17, 1995 but it's listed at 7:28 so not sure if this is it without an intro or talking or something like that. The uploader doesn't answer people who ask where to find this which is pretty lame. He didn't write or perform it after all so share the wealth mate! Come on Leftover :)

[@kevtruth]

Wonder why it didn't find its way onto Sketches

[@aburrell]

I wonder too. This and Moodswing Whiskey are the best tracks outside of Grace. He never properly recorded either and who knows why. Both are windows into the mind of someone dealing with demons and deep regrets. Would have fit perfectly together as part of an album named My Sweetheart The Drunk. Imagine them finished alongside songs like "We Could Be So Happy" and "Demon John". Might have been a great piece of art.

[@monsieurmitosis]

I really feel like this had to be the reason. His mother specifically was at pains to emphasise that everything that did make it to Sketches was unfinished. It boggles the mind to imagine how amazing that album would have been if he'd had the opportunity to develop the songs in the way they were on Grace. Have you heard the early versions of Mojo Pin and Grace? Absolutely different arrangements and performances. Having said that, I think the quality of this live version is up to the Sketches standard, it's such a cool tune. And his guitar playing has always been under-rated, he really had complete control of that motherfucker.

[@darkcnotion]

mister mitosis Absolutely

[@snoozieboi]

@@aburrell Are you me? These two songs are so big for me, I really don't really pay much attention to lyrics/stories in a song, but damn these paint such images with such amazing words. and also Moodswing Whiskey with that weird drum rhythm that kicks in. I've learned this song on guitar by ear. There's a lot of bad things that have happened in the world, but he's my Elvis and it's such a loss to never get to hear what he could have made with such a bottomless talent. I've found a lot of the totally fearless rawness in Justin Vernon and Sufjan Stevens, there's tons of virtouosos like Jacob Collier. Closest in my little lifespan is perhaps Thom Yorke that absolutely spews out quality still with The Smile now recently, but no JB.

[@WyldeRatttz]

So Jeff kissed men, too, huh? I wonder who the "ghost" is and if he's the same as the guy with the stereo. Lyrics: Ghost comes to visit with my keys in his pocket Kisses on my mouth with his eyes rolling out of the sockets Memories crumbling under solid steel resistance I was torn out like pages from the book of existence I woke up in a strange place My mind a blur and some blood on my chin I made a call for that black death cab My destination is moving on in And I remember words you told me Came down so hard, so plain Fate is gonna find you, love In your glass of champagne Love came calling as a counterfeit mistress Stealing from the pockets of her sadomasochist My ???? plays like a tongue on crystal meth Cigarette smelled like the fear inside my chest Yes, and I lied to my host that I knew how far I could go When I emptied my guts out on his brand new stereo He paid me to go upstairs to spend the night with his friend I never want to see my face in the mirror again I woke up in a strange place Music so loud I spilled all my beer I took a ride down in that black death cab My destination is already here Easy now Car is speeding up For my last chance crash into freedom Fate is going to find you, love In your glass of champagne Sweat pours down I'm in the back seat Sleeping She watches from her empty bed Out the window Weeping Ghost guns that motor to the land that he promised me ??? abandon and the ???? needs nowhere This is a song for you, dislocated You were going to love, but it turned to being hated Because the lies of the spirit possessed you Because the eyes of your lover resist you Listen up, boy I'm shouting from the bottom of a barrel Heading down the rapids, yeah Steady now, keep your aim solid As your temple turns to kiss the pistol Fate is going to find you, my love In your glass of champagne

[@Casey_Desmond]

I think he said “mouthing froth splays like a tongue on crystal meth” and “drawbridge abandoned and the road leads nowhere”

[@TheNightmare75II]

I think the "ghost" is a metaphor for a drug of some sort. The one that left him waking up in a strange place.

[@666cfc]

Could it be "mouthing false prayers like a tongue on crystal meth"?

[@666cfc]

Or maybe even "moulding false prayers"

[@truefunksoul8638]

Love came calling as a counterfeit mistress Stealing from the pockets of a sadomasochist Mouthing false plays like a tongue on crystal meth Cigarette smelled like the fear inside my chest Yes, and I lied to my host that I knew how far I could go When I emptied my guts out on his brand new stereo He paid me to go on upstairs and spend the night with his friend I never want to see my face in the mirror again

Tuning is Drop D on this version. You may be able to figure it out with Bm7 / Em / Em7 / D / F#m, but if you Google the song and go to images, you'll see manuscripts for it. For the chorus it's F#m to Em (like "Move On Up" by Curtis Mayfield!)
