"I hope that people who liked him resist the temptation to turn his life and death into some dumb romantic fantasy - he was so much better than that. Not everyone can get up and sing something they take a liking to and make it their own, sing true to their heart and be curious about all different strains of music... Jeff did that naturally [by] taking a song into his own world. Only a handful of people are capable of that." - Elvis Costello, "Mojo" magazine (August, 1997)

My Jeff Buckley story...around 1997-98, I worked in an office in Irvine, CA, and I would occasionally chat up with this lovely lady named Mary. I told her I played music, and she told me her son recorded music, and the following day she gave me a couple CDs Grace and a live EP by Jeff.

[@MariaMexican]

Lovely. Thanks for sharing x

[@goldiestarling]

His voice is like a hug for the soul. 😭

[@Darilynn714]

Jeff was a fellow student at Fullerton College, next to Anaheim, California where he grew up. Fullerton is the home of Fender guitars, and at the Fullerton Museum there is a permanent Fender exhibit. His family donated all of the first models, prototypes, the other electronics he made, some famous guitars, stories about the guitars, a gift shop of Fender gear, etc. If you’re ever in the LA area you should check it out. It’s about 25 miles from Hollywood. BTW Jeff Buckley was truly amazing, I think “Corpus Christi Carol”, a song from the 1500s, shows his falsetto magic. It gives me shivers.

[@ledoynier3694]

his duo with Liz Fraser, "All flowers in time" is one that just rips tears off dry eyes. Jeff was the embodiment of what a shooting star is. He is gone too soon, but god did he shine bright in his short time among us. I have listened to Grace too many times to keep count but i can't get tired of it.

"Last Goodbye" is one of the most incredibly composed songs of all time, imo. It has 4 changes, there is no chorus, it's constantly evolving and progressing...and yet it's easily capable of hooking you in. And every verse change hits you harder and harder emotionally. JB's voice was absolutely epic. I discovered him when I was getting into The Darkness, Muse, Radiohead, et al and that's when I came across "Our Last Goodbye" and I just stopped dead in my tracks. Brilliant. Loved seeing it covered during the tribute concert, too.

Jeff Buckley is to Vocals, as Jimi Hendrix is to Guitars. They are the masters. I was surprised you didn't mention how Violet Grohl covered Buckley songs (very well) at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute.

[@joeyj9915]

I think his falsetto and head voice had so many common notes, the same with his chest and head voices, his transitions were so unbelievably effortless. One of the greats for sure.

[@ParadNorthProd]

Muse (Matt Bellamy) has since admitted (really...acknowledged) that he got his vocals from Jeff. He also now owns Jeff's telecaster.

[@Norce555]

Matt never denied that Jeff was a huge inspiration from him. There are plenty of videos from 1999 when they released their first album where Matt credits Jeff Buckley for that. I think what Justin is thinking of here is how Matt, to deny the Radiohead ripoff- comments, would say that both him and Thom got their vocal inspiration from Buckley, and that's why they sounded similar.

[@L.C.Sweeney]

_HE_ bought the Tele? It only went for $7k after Jeff's mate who ended up with them was too skint not to sell it. I saw it on sale in New York not that long ago. If Bellamy was the buyer he's an even bugger twat for not giving him more money.

[@JojoFryrocks]

This is kind of upsetting. That guitar should be in the hands of someone who loved Jeff as deeply as Jeff loved that Tele.

Hauntingly beautiful. I wrote my dissertation on the album 'Grace'. I find it so unbelievably emotional that I struggle to listen to the album in full now. Such an immeasurable tragedy his death was. So much untapped potential. He was just too good for this world. His vocal range and genre range on the album is unreal. From the gentle 'lilac wine' to the thunderous 'eternal life', not to mention the ethereal 'dream brother'. Once in a century talent. Please do more analysis of him Justin! That would be amazing!

Jeff died 3 days after I was born in May of 97. I discovered his music when I was 14 via the incomparable Grace LP and became utterly obsessed. His gift for arrangement and the elasticity of his vocal range were simply second to none. Then I got ahold of the Live at Sin-e album and got into so many fantastic artists he covered. Nina Simone, The Smiths, Leonard Cohen, Dylan, Van Morrison, etc.. He definitely changed my life with his music and I truly believe he was poised to change the rock landscape for the better. Very few losses in the world of music like the loss of Jeff Buckley. I'm 26 now and his music still matters to me. Maybe even more than it did when I was 14. Thanks for exposing even more people to his music, Justin. The work you do on this channel is important and educational.

See I got Freddie Mercury as well when he hit certain notes , especially when he moved up a scale , but now you have said orbison I can hear it on the lower tones I guess when you have a great voice and sing in that style there are not many you can aliken him to, only the legends who possess that gift I do enjoy radiohead , one of my favourite songs ever is high and dry , but whilst Thom yorke may have took inspiration I don't think his voice is as good , iguess if taking inspiration meant high and dry was made then who am I to argue otherwise

The first time I heard Grace (the album), I was overwhelmed. Jeff had taken the best parts of the music I loved, synthesized them into incredible pop/rock songs, and performed those songs in a way that no one else could. To think that he released that music within a couple of years of revealing himself (as a singer) to the public... there was so much within his reach. He could have gone in any number of different directions, from crooner to art-rock to Cooder-esque ambassador to music of other cultures. It's no wonder he struggled to write and record the follow-up: he was didn't yet know who he was becoming. That's what I take from Sketches: that he recorded an entire album and then decided it wasn't representative of who he wanted to be, so he kept writing. On the strength of some of the demos, I think he would have continued to overwhelm us. RIP.

"Oh, my heart. "Isn't that a voice to fall in love with? I wish he was still alive..." Ahh, Yes! Yes, that's exactly what I and every female friend would lament throughout our youth. Thank you for covering the impossible majesty of Jeff Buckley ♥ PS: Jeff's "Live in Chicago" version of Eternal Life shows the extremes of his talents - he rocks out like a man possessed. What a loss we suffered.

[@manna6618]

Hey not just female...I would almost turn as a male for Jeff Buckley, I have no interest in men but there's just something about Jeff that makes you literally fall in love... the guy was pure lust on feet.

[@jopalmer777]

@@manna6618 haha, I suspect you're not alone! I had to stop listening to his music a few years after he died, as I just couldn't handle going to the place his music took me to, for such a long time. May I ask if you discovered JB posthumously, or were you one of us old originals?

[@manna6618]

@@jopalmer777 an original, tho only a teen at the time. Like everyone I was devastated when the news hit, such a bright future in front of him. :/

[@johannasaninocencio7458]

Jeff was an amazing singer and I’m sure genetics helped. His father Tim Buckley also had an amazing voice and a similar range

[@rangerwhite5165]

He did a version of Cohens Hallelujah interspersed with exerts of The Smiths "I know It's Over" It's absolutely sublime. Just beautiful.

[@borgig]

Grace is one incredible piece of work. I never tire of listening to it. Tragic to have lost him after just one album.

[@crapsharkify]

I know it's not a proper album but Sketches for my sweetheart the drunk isn't too shabby. The sky is a landfill is fabulous. He even manages to make Peter Gabriel era Genesis sound great!

[@ninagray4441]

I saw Jeffrey live at Queen's Hall in Edinburgh in 95, was stood straight in front of him in the front row. One gig I could never forget, truly exceptional.

[@teddybears4life240]

Wow‼️...right before he died right? 😢💙

[@claudiolevermag]

Thanx for this video...unforgettable Jeff, impossible to surpass...

[@siphillipson1099]

My world changed for the better when I first listened to Grace and then I discovered Live at the Sin-e and my mind was blown again (his cover of Dylan's If you see her say hello, is magical). Great stuff Justin👌

[@imeqsmd]

Jeff’s 1983 Telecaster was offered for sale years ago. It really should be in a museum for the amount of sheer genius that was written & recorded on that instrument.

[@DrunkChimp]

Grace is easily one of the best albums ever made.

[@richardcarr7557]

Amazing talent, Grace is one of my all time favourite albums. Great chat Justin thank you.

[@MrCarthus]

Been a fan of his for the last 20 years. Wish I'd been aware of him before his passing. Would have loved the opportunity to see him and his band live. There is a fantastic recording of him singing Dido's lament on youtube

[@fani5000]

20 years for me too! Amazing how he can perform at such a caliber vocally and play incredible patterns on the guitar at the same time. Transcendent music.

[@jamlemon]

20 years here too. Wasn’t the Shrek soundtrack was it? 😂 Also his cover of Dido’s lament is amazing.

[@MrCarthus]

@@jamlemon I actually think now you've said that it's been more then 20 for me. Wasn't Shrek because I remember that film coming out and listened to Jeff before. I was put on to Jeff by a band mate at the time

[@jamlemon]

@@MrCarthus cool. Mine was definitely Shrek! I know it’s Rufus Wainwright in the film but it was enough to spark my curiosity so I ended up buying Grace whilst at uni and up until my last car (as it had Bluetooth etc no CD) was the only CD to never leave my car.

[@perroloco2395]

5:18 My singing teacher, a classical tenor, called this egalized registers. It is when you learn to make the timbres of your chest and head (falsetto) voice sounding very similar.

[@emmav7682]

The best singer ever in my humble opinion. His version of Dido’s Lament is breathtaking. Just sublime.

[@Obsidiansoul74]

Jeff Buckley makes me cry. I don't get emotional normally but his voice was so emotive.

[@ericayy9598]

Hey Justin I just wanted to drop by and say your performance with queen was so amazing if you ever decide to collaborate and tour with them I’d spend any amount of money to see you guys live I know Freddy must be somewhere smiling when you belted out that amazing under pressure performance 🤘🤘🤘

[@patm5086]

He uses dynamics like a jazz singer. From a whisper to a roar with purity. Thanks for the post

[@RamsFan93]

Fake Plastic Trees is one of my favourite songs by anyone

[@michaelday5381]

I’m really glad that people are finally starting to bring Buckley more into the limelight. When I started listening to him obviously I wasn’t the only one but most people didn’t know him or only knew his cover of hallelujah. And now I think lots more people are finally recognising him as one of the best. It makes me really happy

[@GroinStrain_]

I will pay whatever you need for you to react to his entire Grace album. Every track is really worth listening and embracing. He’s the master of controlling his voice and understanding the importance of letting a song “breathe”

[@DylanOfTheTower]

I’m so glad you talked about Lilac Wine, it is my favorite my Buckley song that he ever performed
