Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye (Edit)

[@elza32358]

I was at work when I first heard this song on the radio in 1994. I remember I stopped working, turned up the radio, and thought "who the heck is this?" I waited for the DJ to identify the song/singer, but that didn't happen. So, I immediately called the radio station, got through, and found out that it was Jeff Buckley. I had never heard of him or this song before. His voice and the hooks just sucked me in. After work that day, I drove to Tower Records (in Sacramento, California) and bought the Grace CD. What a joyful day that was. RIP. ❤️

[@nerad1994]

Sacramento, great city!

[@tremayne3]

Probably you heard the song on 100.5 The Point FM radio as it was called back then. In 1995 they changed the name to The Zone FM. That's how I heard for the first time this haunting tune here in Sacramento in 1994. It is so sad that there's nothing left now of the old Tower Records building.

had the great honor of having a mutual friend with Jeff, Mario Sevayega who in may of 1995 introduced me to Jeff at a Show in New Haven.

He felt a connection to me even before meeting me because my friend had told him about me and me being Colombian was a point of interest to him because his grandfather had lived in the Panama Canal zone while it was still part of Colombia.

I think history will show Jeff Buckley to be one of the greatest singers of our time... he had guitar and writing skills off the charts as well, but I find it hard to find anybody of his era who had that voice, that range... I listen to his work and just get blown away with the sheer volume of talent in one person.

[@equipmentmanagementservice2310]

....Rolling Stone currently has him listed at 39th Best Singer ever.....but I agree with you, he'll end up much, much higher.

[@christiangasior4244]

He is already recognized as one of the most influential singers of his time. Thom Yorke and Matt Bellamy were highly inspired by him. Grace was hailed as a masterpiece and I don't get why, though. I think it's one of those "promising artist dies young, let's give him 5 stars or else we seem like dicks" things. His guitar playing was above average as well, but I would say his songwriting skills at this point showed promise, at best. The best song is a cohen cover, and the best rock song is this, which is generic central. The vocals are so good that they obscure the fact that the melody is weak. Cheesy orchestra, really? And just a little too much showing off with the vocals. It's like okay, that super high note doesn't need to be there. High head voice and falsetto arent naturally powerful. You have to use them correctly. So yeah, this guy is pretty, has a very sexy voice for the girls like Bellamy whereas thom is singing from some parallel universe and sounds like an angelic DMT being. and his covers were good.

In fairness, he has a sensational voice, though not equal to his father, a much better guitar player than his father, but the lyrics aren’t anything special

Artists who write their own song lyrics, music usually sing them more emotively because it really means something to them. Although, there are some people out there who can sing other people's lyrics, like Sinead O'Connor, and make you believe they're their own lyrics. However, that's because she had Borderline Personality Disorder and felt things extremely deeply compared to the average person.

Lyrics: This is our last goodbye I hate to feel the love between us die But it's over Just hear this and then i'll go You gave me more to live for More than you'll ever know This is our last embrace Must I dream and always see your face Why can't we overcome this wall Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all Kiss me, please kiss me But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,' And did you rush to the phone to call Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind Saying maybe you didn't know him at all You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know Well, the bells out in the church tower chime Burning clues into this heart of mine Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories Offer signs that it's over... it's over

If it was possible to be "in love with" a celebrity you've never met, this was the one for me. We were the same age, I absolutely loved his music, the way he sang so soulfully, put his heart into his art. Those eyes. That voice. Something so special about him. Being a big Leonard Cohen fan, it says a lot that I immediately preferred Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" and still to this day, no one covers it better. When I found out he had drowned, it hurt profoundly, as if I'd lost a like-minded soul. (Coincidentally, my mother passed two days later..I was quite frankly more broken over Buckley's passing.)

La première fois que j'ai entendu la voix de Jeff, c'était sur "Grace", au tout début de l'année 1995. Je jouais à l'époque dans un de mes premiers groupes, et mon guitariste me téléphone pour me dire : "Viens à la maison, il faut que tu écoutes cet album que je viens d'acheter aujourd'hui". Je me rends chez lui, on se pose avec un petit joint et il met le CD en route. Nous avons écouté ensemble et d'une traite tout l'album sans interruption. C'était le choc, vous savez, un de ceux qui arrivent parfois avec des artistes ou des chansons. On était ému aux larmes tant la puissance de cette musique était immense, et à tous les niveaux et pour chacun des morceaux ! On a su instantanément qu'on était en train d'entendre quelque chose d'exceptionnel, hors norme. La voix bien sûr, inégalée et inégalable avant un bon moment je pense, mais aussi son jeu de guitare, les arrangements et les orchestrations, le mixage, tout était d'un cachet fabuleux. Nous avons immédiatement pris deux places pour l'Olympia le 6 juillet. Ce concert est et reste le plus beau que j'ai eu la chance de voir à ce jour dans ma vie, et parmi des milliers... Le public était hystérique, surtout les femmes. Il a livré des versions uniques, notamment, et spécialement pour le public français "Je n'en connais pas la fin" de notre chère Edith Piaf, dont il a chanté les refrains dans la langue de Molière. Nous étions totalement abasourdis par son interprétation, au point qu'il a du s'arrêter plusieurs fois au cours de "Hallelujah", juste après, ému par les cris de la foule. C'était indescriptible.

what a beautiful song. i wish i had these words, this song with me when i said my last goodbye to my lost love....

[@superturboawesome1]

This is, and always will be, my September song, and September album. Grace, and Last Goodbye perfectly encapsulate the crazy strong and bittersweet mixed emotions of letting go of August's sun and embracing October's coming colder mornings, the long shadows, watching the leaves fall... And every relationship that's been lost along the way... RIP Jeff.

My grandmother had just passed away a couple of hours ago. My wife and I happened to be right down the block from the home where she was at. This just happened to be an accident that we were in the vicinity of the home. My XM satellite subscription ended today so I turned on 93.1 WXRT Chicago and this song just started with the slide guitar. I looked to my wife and said "love this tune", her cell phone went off as I saw the name of my aunt roll across the screen. I knew the news. How appropriate this song should be playing as I find out the news of the passing of my grandmother. We were up in the room with the rest of the family about 10 minutes later. Truly our last goodbye.

[@Bubblebeanz]

My God, that voice. So effortless and gorgeous. Otherworldly is the word that comes to mind. I can't even begin to fathom the journey's Jeff would have taken us on, had he lived.

[@Simon0]

i would have liked to hear a second or third albumn definitely.

[@vaincremalassitude]

sometimes these good souls need an instance to inspire us and then they're gone...

[@Bubblebeanz]

Welcome to the discography of Jeff Buckley....there was a lot of music!! Thank God!! He has a very intelligent mother!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Buckley_discography

I listen to this song everyday at least once...sometimes up to 10x. Obsession!

[@busrakarakas9798]

He touches my soul with his angelic voice…

[@IanStephensonFonch]

Still slays me. Definitely one of the finest vocal deliveries ever.

[@le_th_]

One of the finest emotive deliveries ever, in my humble opinion, just exquisitely performed and you feel every ounce of his longing for something that never truly was in reality.

[@amandacorrin]

Ah a friend just reminded me, he's been gone 17 years. Yet another talent gone to soon. Rest easy Jeff you sure knew how to stir those emotions (still do).

[@pruplemango]

I just realized that today too. I had just found an old mixed cd with many of Jeff's song on it...a beautiful day to listen to beautiful music.

[@ErcBishop11]

My friend John from Ireland and introduced me to Jeff Buckley's music so I bought that album very much enjoy the song and his music.

[@justincrowe9454]

simply fantastic......a voice that hits you and makes you think wow.....

[@FusionHowie]

If you are listening to this, you have impeccable taste in music. Peace from Detroit MI.

[@bradwilliams8463]

❤

[@patrickniehus3132]

Like a perfect storm of a song. Everything is perfect. Breathtaking.

[@shannonfillinger3439]

the last video made of my mom before she passed has this playing in the background. It really was her last goodbye.

[@josephcalandrino2811]

God Bless your mom. Hopefully it was a great send off.

[@becauseIrock]

That makes my heart ache.

[@chip9649]

Dont worry you will meet her fingers crossed.

[@pw4444]

❤❤❤🙏🏻

[@ginny3491]

I’m so sorry dude. May she Rest In Peace ♥️

[@woody_young]

The best best best song ever. It's scary to think what he could have gone on to do! Thanks for gracing us with your beautiful voice. Music is my life and to say that this is my number one hardly does it justice XX

[@talkinglizard8536]

This song makes me feel emotions i’ve never felt before

[@laindiamaya]

His music is the type that you have no choice but to listen to every single one of his songs while the whole time you just think “what would’ve been?” Then you’re on this binge and continue to listen just to keep his memory alive.... to let him know that we still remember. We will always remember the passion you provided to music.

[@ktiffy9213]

can you imagine the courage it takes, to leave your soul mate , and face the abyss

[@scrolllocknumlock]

K tiffy it is an abyss

[@MATTA74]

I’m sure I posted on this thread before but I will never forget the first time I heard+this song was on MUCH music after a night of drinking in my youth! I was transfixed by the music and his voice and went and bought his CD that same day and shared it with everyone that would listen!

[@glennmarata5805]

Does anybody already mentioned that the bass line for this song is totally epic?

[@cocaineshawwwwty]

his bassist is so amazing like fr

[@lucasunderhill9974]

listen to eternal life, from the same album. that´s the greates bass line

[@Dimebag_Darrell]

It's the first thing I noticed because I thought, "that baseline is stolen from Vasoline by Stone Temple Pilots." I'm sorry to say the bassist ripped it off from STP! But I'm sure STP ripped it off from someone too. Vasoline is one of the most AWESOME songs of all time!

[@markredford84]

@@Dimebag_Darrell yeah definitely ripped off no way people can come up with similar ideas.😂

[@Dimebag_Darrell]

@@markredford84 It doesn't really matter if it was a rip off from STP or just a catchy baseline out in the ether for someone to grab and make their own. Finding out you have a similar sound to another well known band is a death sentence. It's like your prom date finding out her rival has already shown up to the event wearing the same dress (*&* she looks better in it). Your date better figure something out fast!

[@nolawest5183]

Creative Genius! R.I.P. - Sweet Thing!

[@mishabetts3466]

Lover, you should've come over breaks me into a million little pieces... A saint in Heaven can only make music like that

[@arsonne]

If I find out anyone I know knew about this man and this record and didn't tell me, I'm going to lose it. I have been MISSING OUT. Incredible voice and songwriting.

[@alexm.9190]

when Jeff looks into the camera near the end... hauntingly beautiful. words are inadequate to describe the magic of his music.

[@justjen4561]

He was a beautiful soul with an angelic voice. Rip Jeff. ❤️

[@robynlee93]

To my friend Ted King who first introduced me to this amazing man's music, eternally grateful. I revisit certain songs regularly, and treasure the memories x

[@victoriacooper9812]

This song always makes me cry- 'This is our last embrace' gets me. i had to stop listening to it on my ipod in public because id choke up every time !

[@juliadelgado9446]

me too !

[@kym1160]

Jeff was a legend with the sweetest sexiest vocal, I love everything he did in his short career 🙂

[@charleneroughton4862]

I played his version of hallelujah to my 4 month old son and sang along after his dad was arrested and we fled to find somewhere new and safe. It was such a vulnerable time.He's 5 and still loves this song. It will always mean so much ❤

[@alexfredericks]

Had the utmost pleasure of seeing him play in the very early 90s in NYC. His energy, his talents and his singularity is something I have only been in the presence of a few times in this life. Was life affirming.

[@katherinaJee55]

You gave me more to live for More than you'll ever know .....amazing Jeff ♥

[@ustheserfs]

Jeff was a prism of color, mood and thought. He and friend Chris now bring comfort to the legions in another dimension.

[@eazymethod01]

There are very, very, very few songs better than this one. Rest in peace, Jeff.

[@Maya-hk9tz]

This is our last embrace Must I dream and always see your face Why can't we overcome this wall Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

[@criscn92]

Today would of been his 48th birthday. Happy birthday and thank you for your music, Jeff!

[@koolpul]

perfect song for his birthday

[@carlhagen1686]

A beautiful voice saw him in concert

[@livialimaastrologia]

Gosh, I miss Jeff Buckley! And the 90s! :(

[@jws4539]

Can't help but cry...... but can't not keep re-addressing this song, and many others of his.....hope you've found that thing that you gave/give to all us still.....❤️😢

[@MonAdieu]

My favorite of his songs.

[@Sebastian__Perez]
