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.

I asked to shake his hand and Jeff said NO, and proceeded to give me the BIGGEST hug. 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.

An extremely tragic legend, from his birth, to his father abandoning him for drugs, to him drowning in the Mississippi river at a young age after the success of Grace.

[@le_th_]

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.

[@mellsrod4820]

Jeff was music’s gift to humanity. He was too good for this world, he was too pure, like an angel. He came and left quickly like a ray of light. Rest In Peace poet.

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

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.) This song tears at my heart still, every time I hear it, nearly twenty years after his death. A beautiful soul, gone too soon.

Hey, little information for you guys. They actually looked for musicians specially for this album during its writing and preparation. Andy Wallace who produced with jeff, and mixed this album, really tried to find the good drums and bass duo. I can't remember where they've find them but both drums and bass player didn't know each other before this project. They went to a kind of an isolated place in the country side somewhere around NYC (can't remember) for a few months to start rehearsals and then recording. It ended up pretty well and the musicians fit perfectly together and with jeff's voice and playing, this is something strong for this album to me, bass and drums are really working together in the most beautiful way. That kind of things really help great album to become greater and then a classic album. I heard this story from Mr Wallace's mouth so you can trust me on this one

[@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.

[@kym1160]

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

[@eagleswoop535]

Rip Jeff, thank you for your beautiful music full of heart and soul.

[@louissmith5298]

This song was on the radio during a bad break up. Absolutely captures the sadness and desparation you feel when you've thrown away something you know you'll never quite find again. Time heals all wounds but the line 'must I dream and always see your face'always invokes raw emotions of a younger time for me.

[@glennmarata5805]

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

[@never100x]

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!

[@nicole90006]

I'm overwhelmed with emotion when I listen to Jeff...the anniversary of his birth is coming on 11/17. You are still missed & your heart & music touched us here on the planet. Hope to meet you again friend. Rest in Paradise.

[@talkinglizard8536]

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

[@bradmenpes809]

Every break-up ever between two people is distilled into the power and beauty of Jeff's voice.

[@livialimaastrologia]

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

[@justjen4561]

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

[@indierockyhockey]

First Jeff song I heard.... Brilliant to this day. Rest in peace, Jeff 💚

[@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 ♥️

[@mako4874]

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

[@ciarakent3861]

Never has a song given me chills like this did.

[@TheBritt47]

Love his wail and that kick up at 3:00--absolutely beautiful.

[@kensmith316]

I got sick of this song once, said no one ever.

[@DB-vz4xg]

+michael cunningham I don't think you understood what Ken said. The key part of his comment was, "Said NO ONE EVER."

[@0Cindrum0]

+michael cunningham eh

[@3p10y]

+michael cunningham its like hating tits. said no one ever

[@maria.maverick]

Jefferson Erni I love this comparison.

[@jeanmichellelaurent]

I've listened to grace and hallelujah multiple times and it still feels like i've heard it for the first time

[@humbertocarneiro07]

Goos bumps all over as soon as those first chords unfold! How does one makes such an ANTHEM out of a break up song???? True genius! Gone WAY too soon! Amazing artist and kick-ass record too!

[@KeithCamplin]

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.

[@alexm.9190]

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

[@mattmoser579]

Constant chills. Every. Single. Time.

[@pasquente]

i got to know him a little when he was living in memphis just before he passed. i met him when he was playing shows solo at this bar called barristers. most of the time there was barely anyone there. he was soft spoken, usually a lil sauced, and really funny. his music still hits me like a hammer to the soul. such a voice

[@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 !

[@frugallantry]

how this song doesn't get you in tears I will not know :(

[@Fateymaa]

Sex education creators know what they did playing his song when Otis and Maeve knew they were officially going to say goodbye the next day and most probably never get back together but still enjoyed that last night they still got together!❤

[@katherinaJee55]

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

[@diegoolvera5438]

This is such an emotional song...

[@RuairidhMason]

Jeff and his music have helped me through every difficult part of my life. I can't give enough gratitude. Much love to you, Jeff, and to your loved ones. Thank you!!! XXX

[@janepanich8091]

This song makes my soul smile and cry at the same time. Good music is always timeless. RIP Jeff Buckley. Thank you for letting us hear your beauty.

[@marcomanino9172]

Thank you for this song Jeff. Rest in peace.

[@dinagrivicic6828]

Sometimes I'll put this CD in and just blare this song. Love it. Takes me back to my college years.

[@aligoodarz6252]

[@letsblowthis3dshortbuspops704]

I'm going to ask him to marry me when I get to heaven. Fingers crossed.

[@VincentVanGoghAway]

Dammit, that's what I was gonna do! lol

[@michaelweston2285]

how do you know he went up?

[@VincentVanGoghAway]

Michael Weston REALLY Michael? How could he not? Take a look at some of his interviews or watch more of his performances. Then tell me where he went.

[@MaTeTris]

Damn!! I wanted the same thing. Ok, I'll sign for just being next to him, listening to him and even sing along. Wouldn't death be nice if we could just do that? ;)

[@letsblowthis3dshortbuspops704]

Sauce Llorón Oh yes.

[@patrickniehus3132]

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

[@bettybho2168]

I also love the live version of Last Goodbye, this man was the sexiest most goegeous man alive.

[@PinkyPuff69]

What else I love about Last Goodbye is the Indian influence, those strings and the orchestral arrangement behind his voice is unusual and gorgeous.

[@thombuckleycobain3452]

jeff was fan of nusrat fateh ali khan ( well, he was pakistani), he once said about him ( in the Sin) "he's my Elvis, that's my guy. I listen to him everyday".He had the opportunity to meet him. They both died the same year.

[@thombuckleycobain3452]

+Michael Lyle and u read carefully before replying like that

[@redribboncellproject4049]

they're not really indian lol. He just REALLY liked the sound of open tunings on guitar, like I think this song is in open G.

[@ulfjohansen6683]

open g thats right:)

[@SiDarTanto]

its still indian influence...

[@Terese66616]

He had the most beautiful voice💖

[@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.

[@eazymethod01]

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

[@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.

[@Itbm217]

2:04 gives me chills. Amazing voice 👌

[@ktiffy9213]

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

[@scrolllocknumlock]

K tiffy it is an abyss

[@davidaames7470]

I First Heard it on vanilla sky... Damn memories... Awesome movie...:)))

[@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...
