Jeff Buckley - So Real (Acoustic) 1995

[@GabzitoHD]

who the hell even writes a chord progression like that, love it

[@evanhickey3036]

I'm fairly sure it was his lead guitarist. Apparently, he was given that piece of music, walked around the block a few times and came back with the lyrics in his head.

[@darkcnotion]

Ants in my eyes Johnson Jeff knew theory though

[@evanhickey3036]

@@darkcnotion absolutely, he was an amazing musician. He did not write the music to Grace, Mojo Pin or So Real. Perhaps more but those, I know for sure. This does not take from his musical ability. If anything it adds to it. Amazing musicians trusted him with their own creations.

[@laurabirli]

@@evanhickey3036 mmm.. interesting to know ❤️❤️❤️

[@josephconsoli4128]

Yes. I always felt that good song has to be a roller-coaster-ride of chords and vocalization. I only recently heard this song and it got under my skin. I hear it my head all the time. That's when I know I like a song.

[@stacik2905]

Doesn’t anyone else think that his voice is insanely out of this world??

[@ericcotter1984]

out of this multiverse at least

[@sharonlee7360]

God yes .. he was one of a kind that’s for sure he just makes it look so effortless .

simply special and beautiful

its right in the middle so you could well be right

[@jldp24]

Love the comment and the reply.. agree fully

[@ramsayburch6738]

I agree with you; however, if you showed this to someone completely out of context I think they’d have a tough time placing it in time. He made an effort to create that image with the jacket he’s wearing on the album cover of Grace Just looked it up: G2 - C6

[@anoxia999]

Just like Alice in Chains’ mtv performance-you could fool anyone into thinking this were today actually. So ahead of their time, “musicians or worse” today can only hope to play in their shadows. People now are copying even the way they look, still and copying the bands that copied them (Radiohead, even deftones). The lead singer of dc fontaines dyed his hair like LS/Alice in Chains’ mtv performance era and has posture like Liam from Oasis.

[@meatballman4329]

I wouldn't say Radiohead didn't copy him, but they were instead inspired.

[@sagebayme2122]

I like how the drummer just keeps his eyes on Jeff the whole time

[@TheAndreluizcarneiro]

Sage Bayme thats creepy actually

[@jamesdrummond1804]

Sign of a good drummer

[@ghophuckurselves3562]

Respect!

[@ericcotter1984]

he knows he's witnessing a god

[@MojoPin1983]

He does so because Jeff gives the entire band cues to follow; when to start, when to stop, etc.

[@ricobonifacio1095]

His chord choices are so unique. They are as unique as his voice. There will never be another Jeff Buckley.

[@calvinnotklein6368]

tbf michael tighe came up with that chord progression . doesn’t take away from jeff tho at all

[@m0rdred1971]

his voice in this is absolutely incredible

[@georgiethumbs2438]

Greatest singer ever, nobody even comes close to this guy

[@_nightowl263]

Agreed

I just do not get sick of hearing this guy !! No one has ever been able to blend sensibility and aggressiveness with such perfection.

[@loganoliver9593]

João Rafael couldn’t say it any better

[@camilodigiliocalzada7765]

this has been the best description for Jeff I've read

[@Pneuma3339]

Exactly!!! Completely agree!

[@JohnGuffey-ho3xc]

You should check out Jimmy Gnecco of Ours. There’s also a great band/project called Neverending White Lights.

[@jmgmarcus808]

The album version is incredible. I can't believe we only had 2 albums from this guy. What a tragedy for him and his family.

[@swagmundfreud666]

We actually only really had one

[@someone028]

Look at how the drummer focuses on jeff :) idk it really amazes me how he just looks at jeff and sees him as a conductor.

[@skobywankenobi]

His death still hits me right in the feels after all this time

[@AvecPoesie]

dude your whole existance was surreal, feels like having a memory of something i did not experiance, it's like a dream

[@typicalfurry2747]

Didn't he die in like 1997

[@drmether9150]

Exactly how I feel when I listen to his music. A memory of something that never happened. Some place you’ve never been to.

[@DoctorAlright]

It feels surreal… su rreal… so… real…

[@123jalexandre]

I think he should be introduced in the list of the 100 best guitarists of all time according to the Rolling Stone Magasine. He totally deserves that.

[@crispybits3765]

Probably the most tragic loss of live ever in the music industry. This guy would have conquered the world. Elvis/Bowie/Micheal Jackson tier domination. He was that good.

[@keysersoze657]

He wasn't main stream enough at the time to have an impact like Elvis or Michael Jackson

[@crispybits3765]

@@keysersoze657 Not at the time, but he could have gone on to real greatness. When you consider how grunge and alternative became part of the mainstream in the 90s as well, I think he would have ridden that wave of popularity as he wasn't so far away from that scene.

[@TheDreamingJune]

If it were possible, I would marry his voice. Such a remarkably gifted vocalist & musician all around.

[@rururu5877]

Marry his voice to your ears for so long

[@irishlad2860]

He would have been one of the greats without a single doubt. would have changed the music of this century

[@TheSlaSh1411]

[@zaroribkata4113]

I had to take a deep breath and stare at my ceiling for at least 3 minutes after the end of this masterpiece.

[@driscollmichaelmd]

I love you But I'm afraid to love you.... Those lyrics just hit different.

[@johnmccann8319]

The human voice is an instrument.Jeff Buckleys was an ORCHESTRA!

[@jmarty1000]

This is such a great song on a love affair. And that line is so prohpetic: "And I couldn't awake from the nightmare, that sucked me in and pulled me under Pulled me under" given the nature of the event of his tragic untimely death. I'm still so sad about it.

[@georgevalley1319]

Check out Live at Sin e . From what I understand it’s the coffee shop in New York City he frequently played while he signed his contract with Sony Music. He asked for a live album to be recorded there, they agreed. I remember buying it in 2004, though possibly released before then, it’s a masterpiece! This set was part of a dvd called Live in Chicago , So Real and Last Goodbye were studio recordings included with the dvd.
