David Bowie once said that, if made to choose just one, Grace would be the album he would take to a desert island.
Really?! Wow! Thx for sharing
David had good taste
Sketches From My Sweetheart the Drunk is also great
Agree 100% with Bowie
Love this man and his music so much.❤❤❤such a tint of heartbreak and sadness
The saddest thing about Jeff is I feel like the best was yet to come.
well the saddest thing is that he died probably
@@conorflynn6427 😭😭
I feel like the water sirens stole him for their own.
All these years later and I’m still obsessed with Jeff Buckley.
What music this man could have made??😢
I’d argue he’s one of the most tragic losses in music history.
I was just telling my 14 year old daughter the same thing. She was listening to a TikTok that had a snip of "Lover You Should Have Come Over" and I had to tell her who he was.
"The day the music died" - a famous line written about somebody else in a different generation, but I really feel it about Jeff.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Such a loss. Listen to him all the time.
100% AGREE.
Funny and tragic and interesting at the same time. I actually do not have a clue about Jeff Buckley, never heard the name... ABBA I have heard a lot about and I simply adore them!
“Grace” live at BBC showcases his vocals brilliantly!
There are far, far too few reactions to this performance on YT.
@@g3synth205 agreed!!
The NPA Live one is way better tbh
@@sixHundhredjust checked it out. Hard disagree. BBC one has noticeably better audio, and his vocals seem more on point, imo.
@@sixHundhredI agree with you. His vocals are so much more interesting in this performance.
This is 18 minutes of her falling in love with Jeff Buckley.
While the rest of us are falling in love once again.
With female Jeff First Timers to this song, I always get the bite of lick of the lips.
If you listen to JB... You fall in love with JB. There is only one result
Can you blame her??!!!
I just love how he slides off the pitch so often, it gives this sense of desperation, of a man careening out of control that is just so fitting to the theme of the song. One of my favorite songs and singers of all time. ❤
Yes! You got it. I couldn’t put my finger on it. But he does bring the sense of desperation and heartbreak that draws you in to feel it with him. Thanks!
no one sells heartbreak with their voice quite like Jeff
I hope folks feel that way when I'm off pitch, but I suspect they do not. Haha. He's an amazing talent!
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder.
All my riches for her smiles.
When I've slept so soft against her.
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter.
She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
Good god.
An absolute lyrical colossus.
he is my religion at this point
"ive heard this song a million times, im not gonna cry at an ANALYSIS of it, jeez, get real"
also me at the "it's never over" lines:
@@jesterssketchbook 😂😂
@@jesterssketchbook 🤣🤣🤣
Just the most romantic heartbroken line ever written…
I tear up every time I see Jeff sing. I was lucky enough to be playing music in NYC in the 90s, and I shared a few nights with him at Sin-e (just luck of the draw) before he started really attracting his followers. Just Jeff and his Tele, and a half-full unassuming cafe on St. Mark's. Those were truly magical afternoons and evenings, he was so incredibly captivating and generous and brave! Nobody was surprised when after a very short time it was impossible to get in when he was there. We'd turn the corner at the top of the block and see crowds of people outside the large windows, spilling out into the streets, and we'd know, "Jeff must be playing." And, it was not long until he was gone. Tragic, gorgeous life.
this is such a beautiful memory damn.
I saw him in a large canvas tent at the reading festival (UK) in the early 90's i was actually waiting for another band (Echobelley) but he was really good.
I used to walk in Tom Lee Park in Memphis after I got off from work. I would take my Martin acoustic guitar with me and walk up and down the edge of the river @4 times a week. I met a guy a few times who would be grinning ear to ear and would just start vocalizing along with me. Just out instruments being offered to heaven. I remember his voice sounding like the highest quality ingredients cooked just right, then brought back to life and released to Heaven and Earth. He was enthralled by what I was playing on my guitar. Then one day the police wouldn't let anyone near that spot for a few days. The angel I met became an actual angel that day. It was Jeff Buckley, and I was never Jason Cremeans the same way ever again. He was a true artist. He only cares about expressing himself. I'm sure he is teaching angels how to sing today. I hope some day I will find my mom in heaven and take her to meet Jeff and she can hear us play music together if even for a few minutes.
I am a 41 year old male that tears up EVERY time I hear this song. JB forever.
i feel seen
"She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" is the single most genius line in a history of songwriting.
Beautiful. Jeff and Chris Cornell were buddies. Imagine going to karaoke with those two.
i just saw an interview with danny carey where he said they use to all practice in the same spot and that he and jeff would jam after tool was done practicing. danny said that they would just jam old led zepplin covers for hours.
The Chris Cornell song "wave goodbye" from his album Euphoria Morning is actually a tribute to Jeff from Chris, he even imitates his singing style in the song. It's a beautiful musical eulogy ❤️
Jeff released only one album prior to his untimely death, but that album, Grace, is a true masterpiece. Jaw-dropping and soothing, tear-inducing and electrifying, all at the same time. For you Bethany, I can't recommend it highly enough.
He was also alive when Live at Sine was released.
What about Greetings FROM L. A.?
One of the most under appreciated artists of the last 30 years
Absolutely
Ummm... He had a hell of the voice. As a songwriter he was way below his father. Too many covers (Lilac Wine, Hallelujah, Corpus Christi Carol), lyrics are more faux-depressive than emotional and lotsa filler. I wore out "Grace" when acquired it but quickly grew bored with it. Grace, Lover, You Should've Come Over and Last Goodbye are standouts, his forays to alternative rock ended up as duds (So Real, Eternal Life) and the rest could be passable. Stuck with his sophomore album with only three meaningful songs (The Sky Is a Landfill, Everybody Here Wants You, Vancouver) and the rest of a throwaway quality, having a hard time coming up with new songs before the tragedy struck. "Grace" remains his career high moment although late vocal acrobatics should've been channeled into something more meaningful.
LOL! Contrarian postmodernist sophistry is so popular these days proving how stupid we as a society are becoming.
@@patrickghirardi83 well, I don't use 10 dollar words as much as you, but it seems stupid to even bother commenting your frustrations with society on a RUclips reaction video, I wonder what that says about you
The album version of this song is quite possibly the finest vocal performance I have ever heard.
She’d like the song Hallelujah song better
The live acoustic version of the song from Japan is vastly superior to the album version, look it up
@@jyjjy7 --no way. Album version is much better
@@shortaybrown Eh, so much more emotion in that live version, I don't understand why you would prefer the album version. The sound quality is also remarkable, it's hard to believe it's live
Forget technical wizardry, the emotions delivered are heart wrenching. JB was in a class reserved for legends.
That voice, that song and that lyrics... Absolutely breathtaking.
Its ridiculous. He has this casualness in his style that seems like he's soundchecking that you forget he's actually on stage singing.
Jeff Buckley is soooooooo amazing. His voice makes me tear up almost every time I listen to him and I'm not even sure why. Yes, Grace BBC live version has to be next! You won't believe it.
One of my favorite performances of all time!
Every Jeff Buckley fans:
"If you liked the beginning...wait to hear his voice at the end of the song" 🤭
I attended his concert in Paris at the Olympia in 1995. One of my most beautiful concert experiences... With Lisa Germano as the opening act. Beautiful memory of youth... Excuse my english, i'm french. Nobody's perfect...
OMG His rendition of That's All I Ask of this concert is one of my all time favorite. I believe it's a cover of Nina Simone.
Lisa Germano... wow, whatever happened to her. She is terrific.
I miraculously learned about this performer from my future wife. Unfortunately, in our country, few people know about Jeff Buckley. And it's a pity... When I first heard "Forget Her" I cried from sadness, and from the understanding that Jeff would not write anything else. Hello everyone from Ukraine.
Lucky lucky you! What a beautiful memory to have.
@@littleflick It's one of my favorite moments in a happy period of my life... The girl I invited to this concert, who has since become a very good friend, still talks to me about it thirty years later... She was fascinated by the handsome Jeff I believe... 🤣
6:50 You *may* be thinking of Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Jeff Buckley was a big influence on his voice (as well as Matt Bellamy of MUSE). And Yay! You made it to Jeff! :)
Yeah, I remember a quote referring to Jeff telling Thom to sing more falsetto...and then, he did.
Matt now owns Jeff's tele
I thought of tom yorke immediately when he started singing. And thats cool how talented is matt and MUSE? I saw their tour i think it was in 2013 it is to this day among my very top musical experiences ever (as an audience member)
@@kenmeyerjr57he didn’t tell Thom. Radiohead saw Jeff play once in London in 94 I belive after it was over they went to the studio and recorded, “fake plastic trees” and Thom broke down into tears. Thom has said in interviews that Jeff gave him the confidence to sing in falsetto
The version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah that everyone insists on murdering is actually originally Jeff Buckley’s beautiful interpretation. Well worth reacting to
This. Without Jeff's version the world would never have known.
It brings the feels every single time I hear it…for 30 years!
Heh, it's a great version but it's not Buckley's interpretation, it's John Cale's.
Leonard Cohen actually said that Jeff Buckley sang it even better than him. ❤
"that everyone insists on murdering" LMAO hahaha love
He never played a song the same way twice. Very glad you're getting across this amazing artist gone way too soon
This entire album is worth a deep dive. What a phenomenal talent Jeff was.
There are many that do, but this song by Jeff just turns on my eye sprinklers. It’s a transcendent piece of music and his voice is otherworldly. 😢
Absolutely it is transcendent.
She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever!....RIP Jeff Buckley!.
Jeff had it all. His voice, his guitar playing, his sense of musicality, and was even witty. Never had such sense of loss with any other musician than when he passed. What an icon he could have been.
Yeah, when someone says they think they’ve heard Jeff Buckley, they probably haven’t! Such a wild and beautiful voice, beautiful music, beautiful face. He’s one of the few celebrity deaths that will haunt me to the end of my days.
I so agree!!!
I vividly remember how I felt finding out he was missing after going into the water and I knew logically he was gone, but still foolishly hoped for a miracle. It devastated teenage me 💔
@@arissarox “I heard he is missing in the river now
They say he is nowhere to be found
I hope she sang the sweetest lullaby
So that he was calm when he went down” - Hannah Fury, Away
@@salyx ♥️♥️♥️
It’s amazing how his one single album still touches my soul after countless listenings over the years. ❤💔 the magic of music and his unmatched vocals.
He's such an unacknowledged beast of talent. It's almost criminal.
Being a singer that uses "vocal gymnastics" is walking a fine line between sounding talented or pretentious. Jeff 's live performance of his song "Mojo Pin" at the Glastonbury Festival proves he's just plain talented. Look it up here on youtube.
Jeff was a wildly gifted and beautiful creature. It’s such a shame we lost him so soon. He looks & sounds remarkably like his father who was also a musician and died even younger than his son Jeff. So much beauty and tragedy in that family. I will always love Jeff’s voice above most others
At 04:36 you accidentally channelled Buckley: "Le-eeeets ..."
I love it.
Fully agree except on the accidentally part. She knows exactly how to get there 🙌
Definitely echo that "Grace" from the BBC Late Show is a must watch/react.
I'm no Spring Chicken, I'm 57. Only once in my life have I ever got up and ran to the store to get something I'd just heard. It was the first time I heard Jeff Buckley. Last Goodbye...I literally jumped off the beach and went and bought the album. I can't begin to tell you how many people I've turned on to Jeff over my lifetime. The greatest singer of my generation. 🙌🏼
I was lucky enough to see him live in a small place on his tour...walked right behind him in the crosswalk, but didn't want to bug him...regretted it ever since.
This is one of those songs that consistently gives me chills EVER SINGLE TIME. What a loss. I can’t imagine how great he would have gone on to be.
Jeff’s the best, ever. His voice is so hauntingly beautiful, like a tortured angel.
I remember that one man's voice wowed me by accident when I even didn't know his name, and it was this song.
Her reaction really seems genuine. She is transfixed ❤
Goosebumps. The way he almost teases our ears with the power just lurking beneath the surface. Unleashing his range toward the end and then bringing us back down to an intimate whisper. I’ve never heard anyone like him. I remember those gigs at Sin-é with maybe 25-30 people packed in. If you need a good cry give a listen to his version of Hallelujah. ❤
this video made me sob in shambles on my couch 😭 i’ve never seen this live performance
This from the “Live in Chicago” DVD. Well worth it if you can find a copy.
OH MY!!!! Please do more Jeff, please!! There are not very many vocalists doing reactions/analysis that aren’t already super familiar with his voice and music. Please let us watch you discover his brilliance. This performance is the very tip of the iceberg of how incredible he is.
Yes I second this. It's amazing watching somebody discover Jeff.
What an absolute musical genius..... it's so sweet to see you falling in love with it ❤ it touches your soul so deeply....he will be forever missed
Nice to see someone genuinely interested in the music , unlike other reactions.
i think i never saw a person falling in love on a video. magic jeff youre always gonna be missed
this is my favorite Buckley song
Dream Brother from this same gig. He warms his voice up on stage. Grace live NPA Paris 95 or the BBC one is unbelievable
This song expresses yearning for love that transcends the physical into the spiritual. Advice to lyricists, especially men, to acknowledge this level of vulnerability with specific sacrifices offered directed to the object of past love experienced but not present with hope that it can be, will be satisfied. This makes me cry EVERY time. Well done, Jeff. Thanks for leaving this with us.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever
In a league by himself.
I've been listening to this song and album for 30 years. Hauntingly beautiful!!
Seems like he was a king of taking his voice to an uncontrollable place and quickly bringing it back into control.
Grace, Last Goodbye and Hallelujah. You'll never forget Jeff Buckley.
We’re watching her fall in love on camera! Also, don’t forget to give Jeff some credit for singing that well while playing; no idea how humans do that.
Having seen Jeff on MTV's 120 minutes when he first came out in the early 90's and living through his death. I can honestly say he's the only musician that I felt a real feeling of grief in regards to "what could have been". Iconic musician. I still haven't heard anyone like him in terms of vocals and musical ability.
Jeff simply sing directly to your soul
He is the best. Unique vocal ability. The songs from his only album marked my adolescence. It's been 30 years ☺️. Due to a tragedy he had a very short career. Thank you for your comments.
He's my favorite singer of all time. There are technically superior singers - although Jeff Buckley's technical singing is phenomenal - but he also packs so much emotion into that gorgeous voice. I tear up every time I hear him.
I found it hard to believe that you’ve never heard of Buckley. His one album was a gift to humanity and his vocal performance on the album is a masterclass. Let alone the writing and music. Please, let us watch your reaction to grace.
I thought it was easy to believe, considering how mesmerised she appears as she listens to it and doesn’t want to pause 😛
Jeff was the most tragic loss in music history....he had so much more to give.
Greetings again from Scotland. Thanks for breaking my heart again. And thanks for reacting to this. I'm in a pub drinking beautiful Belgium sour beers and crying my eyes out. Such a sad loss.
Grace 🙏
Jeff Buckley was just a beautiful singer.
Thank you so much for listening to Jeff! I'm glad that you loved him as much as his fans. There will never be anyone with his unique sound ever again. I'm as in love with his music as I was when I first heard it 30 years ago. Seeing your reaction gave me joy.
What an incredible vocal/emotional range, from tender longing to fiery passion - even the tonal imperfections lent themselves to a sense that this was an intimate conversation imagined through the pain.
Buckley was a big influence on a number of vocalists, both of that time period and also more recent artists like Ren.
The first time I heard Yellow by Coldplay, I about died and thought it was a lost JB song. Chris Martin says Jeff is a huge influence.
I continue to regard this as one of the most romantic love songs out there - damn pity to have lost him so young - he was one of the greats 🥹
Every live show he changed. He was so talented and creative
He inspired so many famous musicians - a lot of people who arent familiar with him usually have no idea. Even singers like Robert Plant will say they saw mild altering live performances from him.
Such a great loss. I used to be obsessed with him when i was singing in a choir. Discovering him was like an "oh wowwww" moment. His biological father Tim Buckley was an amazing singer too.
"Mind altering.. his voice; spectacular singing and so much conviction."( Robert Plant) 0:41 ruclips.net/video/n0kUK4IoWqQ/видео.html
This is genuinely the first 'reaction' video I've watched. You do it credit. Thanks.
Now, listen to his dad, Tim Buckley. Specifically, his song, "Gypsy Woman" off his 1969 LP, Happy Sad.
She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever. How many people can relate to this simple, but profound statement of lost love? Brilliant.
It's about time. He's one of my all-time favorites!
Buckley's a creative, vocal genius, and a bit surprised you've never heard him. Here's to more!😉
God, he was so special
I was lucky enough to Jeff Buckley live in Melbourne many years ago before his traffic death. He was Mr cool with a voice and musical capability that was almost unmatched. I think that had he have lived longer he would have been compared to Bowie and Prince as the greatest artists of our time. This album means a lot to people in the 90s. Of course Jeff's father Tim Buckley was too just awesome.
This intro of LYSHCO is inconic for me and I can play it in my sleep, dark room, eyes closed. It is the best live adlib over an incredibly produced studio song ever. This is true craftsmanship on display and his voice is another class.
I really appreciate how you let the various passages play through before you offer your reaction. the flow of the performance can be as moving as the performance itself. well done!
Please, also react to his father too, the late Tim Buckley with his incredible vocal range. Possible tracks: "Once I was", "Song to the Siren" or "Sweet Surrender"
Oh I second that, you can really hear where Jeff got his range from, also his improvisational skills. Both sadly died young. At least we have their music!
A deep dive into JB doesn't take much, as sadly, there isn't much.(unless you get into live bootlegs and such) But from what little there is, if you let yourself go and immerse yourself in it, you'll get 30 albums worth of reward from it. What a talent he was.
Lilac wine live .. Incredible
ALL of his live versions of that song is my fav
"Shes the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"......👌
Jeff Buckley would have been a superstar had he lived. Grace is an incredible piece of work. One of the best albums ever created. ❤
I agree 100%
The way I was in tears listening to him again. I'm glad you enjoyed him. Loved seeing your reaction.
Jeff, Chris Cornell, Scott Weiland, Layne Staley teaching the angels how to sing.
Jeff was a master musician and vocalist, the amount of nuance and variety he adds in each vocal performance is astounding! You really get a good grasp of how flawlessly he moves through different sounds and styles when you try and sing his music for yourself. Every live performance is a completely different take even when he plays the same songs, a true artist. Great reaction 💯
My all time favorite. He has such raw power and trnderness, at the same time, it' mindblowing.
WOW I was going to mention I hope this guy has a friend as that was such a Soul ripping performance he has that Not Long for this World about him. I caught a couple comments, Googled and see that he drowned a while ago. RIP!! Extra gloom for a grey Oregon morning. Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
Yes, you are exactly right, in the first verse that is definitely his home base. He sounds exactly like that when talking. Also, he realllllyyy takes his time with this song!
Yes. Yes. Yes. Top of my list, for sure. The backing vocals on the studio version are particularly haunting and unique. I once heard Jeff's music described as a fever dream - something both beautiful and unsettling at the same time. Wonderful analysis!
Jeff was one of a kind and they don't make them like that anymore. The music was pure, his feelings flowed with every word he spoke. It was a gift to have him on this earth for a short time.
Sweetheart Jeff! One of my favorite artists and has one of my favorite albums. I almost can't listen as much as I want because I get too emotional. He influenced many artists and was friends with other great singers like Chris Cornell.
I recommend the song 'Mojo Pin" Live in Glastonbury, and 'Grace' (studio version).
Jeff is beyond. He touches feelings i didn't know i had. He takes me really deep into myself. He touches your soul with everything he has, voice, poetry, soul, body. He just dives in you, because he dives into himself. Gracely amazing.
He's the GOAT! I've been waiting for you to discover Jeff and I know I was one of the ones to tell you to check out this performance. Check out this whole concert! You just heard a little bit of his range in this song. This song makes me tear up every time. Thank you thank you thank you for breaking this one down and I can't wait for the next one. ❤
Love! Love! Love! Very soothing yet keeps you on the edge, my kinda groove. If this were elevator music, I would stay in until the song was over, then look for the repeat or more buttons! For me, Dave Matthews / Rob Thomas are the go to for a similar vibe. I enjoyed this one beyond any words I could put together here. Thank you!
The face you make at 16:29 is exactly the face everyone makes at some point during their first listen to JB. I have been dying for you to listen to him, as he's considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time by his peers. In a poll conducted by Mojo magazine (back in the early 2000's) of the greatest vocalists of all time as voted on by famous vocalists, he placed number 34 after only one proper studio album released during his life. He's still considered a huge artist although he wasn't nearly that big during his life, unfortunately, at least here in the states. This performance is from his Chicago show which is available on DVD and highly recommended. You're going to get a ton of people telling you various live performances to check out and you should. His cover of "The Way Young Lovers Do" from his first EP is stunning, but stick to his originals when you can because he was an incredible writer/guitarist along with vocalist. Also of note, on that list of greatest vocalists, Jeff's dad, Tim Buckley ranked #41 - famous for his 5 1/2 octave range, he would be an entirely different rabbit hole to explore after you've exhausted this one. I'm just so excited you finally got around to listening to JB - I have his autograph on a magazine in a frame and it's one of my prized possessions. Jeff is one of one - you're right, you'd have remembered hearing him before. Thank you for the content and please keep exploring these older artists from the 90's - I love hearing your thoughts and seeing you react to them.
never heard him before ,but his music was pleasant enough too drink my coffee with,thanks for sharing the vid.
You're DEFINITELY missing out...
I love everything by Jeff Buckley. Gone too soon but left us a masterpiece album
The BEST singer of all time without question. She is speachless.
