I would have said Last Goodbye (that bass intro!) or So Real - that high note is chilling, just thinking about it. That said, Sketches gave us New Year’s Eve Prayer and Forget Her. But I think my favorite is Morning Theft. “what am I still to you Some thief who stole from you? Or, some fool drama queen whose chances were few?”
Of course it's Hallelujah. That is one of the most famous recordings in the history of music. It was preserved in the Library of Congress for a reason. Very few performers can ever top that.
I live less than 15 minutes from the site of Jeff Buckley's death, and I have actually swam in that area. The currents are crazy in that area, but I swam there as a young child without any issue. I have been trying to wrap my head around his death since it happened, but I just can't make sense of it. I assumed he was under the influence of something, but toxicology said he was sober. I don't understand what happened. He was a uniquely gifted performer that had so much life ahead of him. It was so tragic, but I am glad he left us with what he did. It is something we can all remember him by, and he will never be forgotten.
Thanks for reviewing this - and “getting it.” I’ve heard people try to do this, and, well - a swing and a miss. Andy Wallace was a great choice for Grace. Even reversing cymbals and adding flange. Jeff’s guitar playing is underrated. He had style. I saw him live twice (The Green Mill and Metro in Chicago). Bar none - Jeff at Metro was my favorite show ever. I think it’s worth noting he was the first to cover Hallelujah with any recognition. I believe he worked with Cohen to choose which verses to use. Rufus Wainright did it for Shrek because, as he said, “Jeff wasn’t there to do it.” Rufus wrote Memphis Skyline as a tribute Buckley. 💔 That man predicted his own death repeatedly in song. It’s heavy.
@@vadanevadas6960 Ah! Good call! They both did it, Cale in the film, Wainright on the soundtrack. Licensing issues. “Although Rufus Wainwright's version of the song "Hallelujah" appeared in the soundtrack album, it was John Cale's version that appeared in the film. “ I just recalled my old boss asking if I could teach her a guitar version of it, and it was the Rufus version.
You deserve so much more subs and views, you put so much time and effort into this too. Keep working hard🙏. Can't wait for my band to be on one of these :3
I know it’s not super relevant to the video but Chester Bennington did an incredible version of Hallelujah at Chris Cornell’s funeral it’s up on RUclips
What’s your favorite song by Jeff Buckley?

Forget her
God, I am so glad that I grew up in the 90s. There will never be another decade like it.

My favorite is Lover you should have come over
Amazing artist

I think that Shrek used John Cale's cover.

You forgot to mention his long lost little brother James Franco
Why can't I minimize the video here like I can on other channels?
Not sure. That's kinda weird.
I can’t either. It’s iffy sometimes with certain videos, but most channels do it for me except channels with licensed music.
On a phone or computer?
