[@dereknueveuno]

I know this is vocal focused but as a guitarist what turned me on to Jeff was also his guitar skills, so unique. Probably only guitarists understand how unusual his playing was.

[@kentcrawley]

Andy Timmons talks about how they went to school together. Apparently he was a heck of a fusion guitarist. Honestly, I can see it

[@wattsun7946]

Totally agree Jeff's guitar tone and chord selections were phenomenal

[@gilbata]

absolutely, once you start digging into his numerous covers that becomes even more apparent

[@davidgillette9639]

He plays the guitar like a piano if that makes sense. It's as much a feel thing as a chord or scale selection. This song really highlights that feel of his guitar playing.

[@IgnorancEnArrogance]

He was such an amazing singer that most people forget his incredible guitar skills as well. He deliberately stayed away from singing and focused on guitar until he moved to new york a few years before grace. I guess he couldn't deny where his ultimate talent lay.

[@aaronb6929]

Still need ‘lover, you should have come over’. That song makes me feel, and I have the emotional range of a spanner!

[@nasdaq1494]

[@jordangroff8978]

The greatest "all around" voice I've ever heard. Jeff could sing low pitch, high pitch, loud, soft, he could whisper a song, scream one, or hum it, and it would always sound beautiful. Seriously, I've never heard a man or woman have so much control yet freedom of their instrument. One in a billion.

[@LaughingStock_]

You've not heard his dad, then. Tim's "Greetings From L.A." is a masterpiece. Vocally Jeff was good, but Tim was on another level.

[@vst77]

I'd have to agree, I've only seen such vocal control and understanding in the likes of Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury (I'd have to give the number one spot to Michael tho, search up "Michael Jackson who's loving you 10 years old" if you want to see why I put Michael at number 1)

[@troyp9485]

Buckley sang so you felt his emotions, raw and pained.

[@janseendiguiseppiThomasMC]

Troy P you could feel his soul in his music

[@rebeccasanabria4755]

He really knew how to build tension with both his voice and guitar. That is such a rare talent.

[@almabrooks5177]

There are many awesome versions of this song, but Jeff’s has to be my favorite. To me, this is how it’s supposed to sound. It comes straight from the soul and it’s haunting. ❤️

John Cale. That's the one that started Jeff's obsession with this song.

[@philip230884]

[@TheMetatron74]

that's a pity he died so young, was so talented. an angel really. I have been lucky enough somehow to discover your channel some days before. You have done an excellent job, commenting and explaining all those magnificent talents. thank you very much! I wonder what is your opinion of his performance of didos lament.

[@happyfreeky]

If you haven’t already, make sure you listen to his father, Tim Buckley, who also died young and had an incredible voice. Especially listen Tim B’s original version of Song to the Siren, a much covered song

[@TheMetatron74]

@@happyfreeky yes, I have. I thought first it was an original cocteaux twins song but then I found out that it was writen and first sung by Tim Buckley.. great song. em, sorry, are you greek? cause I am...

[@happyfreeky]

@@TheMetatron74 I'm more Geek than Greek, but I might have been in a previous life. I loved Greek growing up in Canada (can't find much of it here in California -- or at least not the casual diners), taught myself the Greek alphabet, love the storie/ mythology, architecture and culture. But sadly I find that a lot of older Greek men (in Canada at least) automatically assume I'm Gypsy and are rude to me until I tell them I'm not.

[@annakermode6646]

From memory Jeff had just been yelling super hard on "eternal life" and "kick out the jams" prior to singing this - it's amazing that he has any voice left. I heartily second the request for "Lover, you should've come over". Also, this is the best version of "Grace" I have ever heard.

[@75Gopa]

What I really find helpful is that you not only explain what you/we hear, but you singing it to understand what do you really mean. Very helpful. Not all coaches doing this on their videos.

[@rogersjgregory]

What I find amazing, is that it's just Jeff on stage with his guitar. No bass, no drums, no backing rhythm guitars, or backing singers like you would get today. It's simple, intimate, and he tells the story of the song brilliantly.

[@brandonbentley8532]

Glad you gave respect brother, saw the caption and was not familiar to your channel and figured the worse. I was very fortunate to see Jeff play at the Roskilde festival in Denmark in 95...changed my life...gave me faith in man again.

[@r.m7921]

Damn, tell us more. How was it?

[@haleightorrance9748]

Yes please, tell us about it?!

[@mistabook]

Great video. I love that you point out when he's just totally caught up in the emotions of the song and not thinking about it at all. I feel like that's a Gen-X thing. Fiona Apple does that a lot too. I feel I should point out that Jeff Buckley's biggest influence as a singer was Nina Simone. When he does that really exaggerated back of the throat singing, he's basically doing a Nina Simone impression. It's particularly noticeable on a song like "Lilac Wine," which they both recorded.

[@sixnohitkee8281]

MrBook And that makes me think Adam should do a reaction to either “Criminal” or “Shadowboxer”.

[@OhForSmegsSake]

He did an amazing cover of Strange Fruit too

[@farrdawgjoker7087]

I just cannot understand how people can't appreciate this song and the absolute masterpiece it is. The cords match the song the rise the fall the pain and passion in his voice is absolutely wonderful and it is so sad we lost him before he new just how loved he would become for this song. I painfully love to play and sing this song and is one of the most requested at live shows of people familiar with our catalog outside of our own music! I give my best wishes to Jeff's soul before and after I sing it because this song made me want to sing and not just play because the pain and passion in this song connected with me and I'm so grateful to and for it and I almost want to cry sometimes because my grandmother lover to hear me sing this song and requested I play it at her funeral. It was the hardest thing I've ever done but after that true pain and passion of the song was cemented in my soul! Call it what you will but when you connect with a song to the point to truly plays hell and havoc on you but feel blessed by th end and you are truly touched then you will know what makes music so important to so many!

[@lissajouscurve7572]

Good analyses. I've literally listened to Jeff Buckley's rendition of Hallelujah a couple thousand times. His voice is pure love. Ethereal. Magic. Range. Timbre. Amazing! He is missed by many. May Jeff rest peacefully with his father and Father.

[@wattsun7946]

Love your channel Adam, hands down the best vocal coaching channel on KZbin!

I know why so many people don't gravitate to Mojo Pin for a reaction, but as a musician, I find that to be his most impressive song.....all of his range and dynamic is contained in it. And the live version is crazy good.

[@Lene-Lene]

I love Jeff Buckley so much, so sad he died so young. Hus version will probably allways be the best one, in my opinion. Suddently everybody and the king wanted to sing this song, but still, his version will allways be special. If course Leonard Cohens version as the original is a masterpiece, but I am so glad that Jeff Buckley did what hf did whit this song.

[@Grits-N-Grace4U]

This has been my favorite version ever since the first time I heard Jeff sing it. He has that rare ability to truly reach deep into my soul…. letting me know I’d witnessed something extraordinary… Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley is an absolute experience and an soul-wrenching inspiration. The world certainly lost a beautiful soul & light when Jeff accidentally drowned. 😔 RIP beautiful man 💔😢

[@zachsanterre2655]

[@elastic774]

He reproduces with new technology... Buckley did these sounds with no enhancement s

[@jamesmckenna4460]

Truly he was a marvel, the only voicr which has really affected me as much as Jeff Buckley's was Chris Cornell. Could you do a video on Chris Cornell? He had incredible control over almost every aspect of his voice, much like Jeff, though in a different, usually much more violent style. Of course he had a soulful, bluesy voice too, but id love if you could analyze a Soundgarden song!

[@HateLoveHP]

Jeff’s voice give me peace everytime

[@strangebirdsir]

The thing about this performance is that it came at the end of a decent sized set with no breaks. He’d just been giving it his all for probably 2 hours and then he pulls this out. Was it perfect? No, but it didn’t have to be. It was raw and beautiful and he played the hell out of that song. Jeff will forever be my favorite singer, I can’t believe this was released over 20 years ago.

Adam, I think what I most enjoy about your videos is the fact that you actually can sing, and are able to demonstrate what is fully going on with different vocalists. I am astonished by how many “vocal instructors” are on KZbin with absolutely no ability to actually sing. Thank you! Have you ever listened to his version of this on the “Live at Sin-é” album? It is, by far, my favorite version of it. Jeff’s vocals and guitar playing on it are just incredible. Give it a listen? Keep up the great work. Shalom Aleichem!!

[@ahighhorseman]

Excellent analysis

[@leonardoyuzoreisshibasaki6584]

Really like your reaction videos and comments on singing. Jeff is my favorite ever. I'm not sure whether Jeff was conscious or not about hia singing. Was he choosing his techniques or just getting led by his emotions? Anyway, it doesn't really matter. I guess he could clearly send out his message. The way he sings it really gives me the impression this is a song about losing, letting go, accepting things the way they are, being freed from burdens and expectations and rebirth. But it's not about hope. It's about living in the moment even though it's a tough, hopeless one. I think it's beautiful because acceptance of reality is the first step for changing and starting over, being born again. This os true if you are depressed or a loved one has died or you've gone a relationship breakup. Love Jeff Buckley. Thank you for sharing his talent on your channel. By the way, I have to say I've got a crush on you, your voice and the way you speak. 😳😌😂

Eric P also consider, this is nearing the end of the set. There were times when Jeff would really let loose - kick out the jams- so surely his voice is a bit fatigued. I saw Jeff twice in Toronto. I’m amazed that he could do 2 nights back to back frequently.

His vocals are obviously insane, but his guitar playing is also beautiful.

[@maikoah]

don't forget to give some emotional interpretation. that's what makes all the math, theoretics, wrote, and muscle control something that transcends our understanding. you kind of start to do this at 9:50, but you stray away from what you were gonna say, and revert to "willing to go places in his voice". dig deeper into the meaning, and i assure you, that'll be the key to making these reactions more so interpretations, and translate jeffs genius down to earth.

Sometimes imperfection is what make a song unique, beautiful and soulful. I would rather hear an okay singer with their soul exposed than a great singer who is dry any day. Hope this makes sense.
