Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over (Live on Musiqueplus, May 28, 1995)

I love this song, I love Jeff :)

[@roo5318]

can't tell if this song feels incredibly comforting or feels like a punch to the gut

[@themissuscostelli497]

Crying . . . it feels like both.

[@naledi5332]

A comforting punch to the gut, I think

It’s both. That’s what gives it such power.

[@Thubmelina]

both

[@mouse_eater]

Yes

[@kennykenny5043]

my favorite lyric is probably "broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it" or "all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter" just throughout it is so brilliantly written

[@pot-ay-topot-ah-to4325]

“it’s never over, a kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder” is genuinely one of the most brilliantly written lyrics i’ve ever heard, it comes back to me now and then and gives me an immediate thrill

[@teahorseguitarstraps1856]

The fact that he could just nail it live, and acoustic, with all of the dynamics... hushed murmurs, anguished cries, and everything in between. Such an incredible talent.

[@susanolbison4733]

Right on

[@bernarddoone4162]

I saw Jeff live at The Birchmere Club. He opened for Dave Matthews who did an acoustic set with Tim Reynolds. Jeff was the opening act. I had never heard of Jeff (before that performance). He walked onto the stage and I thought: who’s this guy? Jeff started singing and my draw dropped and I thought: who IS this guy? Incredible l. He sang with raw emotion. Been a fan ever since. Same night, they announced Dave Matthew getting signed to a label. That night seems like a dream.

[@umutcckr]

[@classicalteacher]

@@erlendnordstrand9196 Creep is my least favorite Radiohead song. It's juvenile. It's a Freshmen effort that reflects their influences more than their originality. That being stated, Radiohead is one of the greatest and most influential bands.

[@LOVER_LINK]

this makes me sad for 2 reasons: 1: i miss the 90s and all its aesthetics. you can tell this was the decade of transition 2: we will never experience jeff buckley ever performing this song besides the 3 recorded version we have managed to keep

For anyone that's wondering that big hand held drum that the drummer is using is a traditional old Irish instrument called a Bodhrán pronounced bowrawn. He ain't putting it to good use here really tho can make some great sounds if used properly with a cipín

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

I’d prefer he was just on a drum kit. The album version of the song has a really finessed and fitting drum track that really drives the song and fits what would otherwise be a pretty meandering song together.

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water Maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight, you're on my mind so You never know Broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it. Too young to hold on And too old to just break free and run Sometimes a man gets carried away, When he feels like he should be having his fun Much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no-one... So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return? Oh, will I ever learn? Oh, Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late. Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep That won't ever come It's never over, My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, All my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her... It's never over, All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter... It's never over, She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever... But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love From going wrong Oh... lover you should've come over... Yes, and I feel too young to hold on I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind To see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over Oh, love, well I'll wait for you Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late.

best version i've ever heard - and i've heard them all. he absolutely nailed it.

[@serenusmagister764]

Isn't it? What a version. And I think that the bodhrán (the drum: saw it in another comment) gives it a quiteness, or I should say, doesn't give it the strong sound of the drum present in the other covers. Nothing to add to the vocal delivery, it' at Jeff's top.

[@hannahmoran-macdonald2839]

Discovered this guy December of last year, and it's always been a comfort for me. For some reason recently, coming back to this song reminds me of that time, the dead of winter. And such loneliness. There's something so painful about it.
