@@ritwikb401 Yes, I know what you mean. He had an extremely unique voice (although Buckley had an odd voice as well) Vocal range also isn't just high but low too, If I were to compare actual vocal ranges i'd have to look up each one of their ranges. I think Buckley would actually win that fight. Layne having a voice no one else had doesn't factor into who had the best voice technically. Although I think I'd agree layne staley had the most unique voice, and prob my personal favorite. Also worth mentioning layne also had a rly amazing range (love hate love, man in the box comes to mind immediately) Overall I'm not a singer i'm not rly qualified to comment on who had the best voice/range
You know, you get all these rock stars that can scream their asses off, you get the crooners, you get the angst-filled grungers, you get the awesome punk rockers, but something about Jeff Buckley is just untouchable. He doesn't fit into any of those categories. His voice is just something else, and I desperately want to tribute him by writing about how unique and beautiful and heart-touching and evocative his voice is by writing some descriptive tribute that is so damn poetic, but I'm afraid no one can define just what it is that made him so special. I just can't put it into words. He reminds me of 'Vincent', Don Mclean about van Gogh, the line 'this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.' And now I've gotten that song stuck in my head and my heart is breaking all over again.
yeah, it's incredible. it's like his music is a genre of its own. of course there's the clear element of rock, but like they were saying, his choice of notes really creates something so far beyond any other sounds.
Dude, I myself for the longest time have procrastinated to do something creative regarding think pieces, or rather visual media of the form about my favorite artists and music/art in general, and I too have felt that there is a Need of bringing more attention to Jeff, because what he did was something absolutely otherwordly, and I would go as far as calling him an anomaly of unbelievable, genuine self expression while making it sound almost anew every time, and just taking you on an audio journey rarely heard... I dont know if that last statement made absolute sense, but I just cried after that, at first deceptively fake feeling, montage of Jeffs friends reading the lyrics to Grace for the first time in, I dont even remember how many years have past since my last Actual cry, so yeah - Jeffs ability to amaze is something Actually worth spreading.
ive been listening to him for a year now, and i will never, ever be the same again. he not only changed music forever, but the lives of everyone he reached with his songs and poetry. i hope to find him when the time comes and i love him more than words can ever say.
I'm a vocalist, performer with decent range and I still cry every time I sing Jeff's songs. He was always one foot in heaven, one hand on the string. Thank God for you, Jeff.
And Chris Cornell says 'the rain is falling and I believe my time has come'..Jeff Buckley. Chris Cornell. Rip. Thank you for the beautiful, beautiful music.
wizardaka I just recently heard Jeff Buckley for the first time. I heard "Grace". I was completely static throughout the whole song and then after those last notes from Jeff's voice I did exactly the same as the anchor. So powerful
It's incredibly moving today to watch this video and hear Chris Cornell pronouncing those verses from Grace...Both great artists, both gone too soon... Both Jeff and Chris have written suggestive songs filled with melancholy and pain but also with love and hope...You will always be remembered by all those people who felt less alone and misunderstood thanks to your music and your incredible voices...
Thom said it was about the delicate falsetto notes that Jeff sang that he got influenced by. Same with Matt Bellamy from Muse. You can hear the buckley influence in him almost more than in Yorke.
jeff buckley and layne staley was the voices of 90s like freddie and robert of 70s. jeff was the light side of this and layne was the dark side. of course jeff had many troubles and bad things but comparing to layne, his voice and songs usually brings people relaxing or melancholy. however layne sang like an angry angel like tells you a sad story with screaming his pains. i love them both and they are in my top 5 and one of my favourites. rip layne staley aka angry angel rip jeff buckley aka mystery white boy
"...long enough for the clouds to fly me away...Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die...my fading voice sings of love But she cries to the clinking of time...walking to the bright lights in sorrow...we both might go tomorrow my love...and the rain is falling and I believe my time has come... I feel them DROWN my name..." This song is supposed to be about love and joy and I do feel that, but there's some serious for shadowing. I wish he would just stayed away from the water!
Fantastic editing with this segment, especially that closing remark. “I think he was just on his back, floating, singing and had this thought ‘I wish this moment would last forever’. And it did.” Ugh. What a talent, can’t believe I discovered him so late in life.
Thanksgiving weekend on the drive home from Boston...my friend played him for me for the 1st time. He's haunted me ever since and will till my time will come.
I used to drive by Jeff's house all the time when I lived in Memphis. I don't know why.. I guess I just missed him.. in the way I miss Jimi, Kurt, and Lennon. Luckily we still have their music and because of that, they are still in some ways more alive than some folks who are actually still breathing.
the power on his music, the art of just being himself, the greatness of JB it makes me believe life is bigger than we can ever imagine and music is bigger than life
Yea when I was a kid in the 70's and heard all the great music that was being put on vinyl and thought around 76 or 77 that music would just get better and better but comparatively after that everything minus a handful exceptions music de evolved. Jeff to me was the start of a new renaissance in music and I think the record companies believed it as well. Man I miss him!
Jeff was just that kind of dude.. he was headstrong and didn't listen when people told him not to swim there. He went swimming there many times before he actually died. I grew up in Memphis.. it happens there often. A lot of my other musician friends from back home knew Jeff personally. He DID NOT commit suicide. It's not even up for debate.
It is up for debate. Plenty of folks said he was acting strange and erratic before his death. Also, who swims in a slack tide with all of their clothes on?
Absolutely. I have to admit to having never heard Elliot Smith but will remember the name if I see it on my musical travels. If its not in the mainstream (which is meaningless to me - I like musicians) then that is a good sign. I loved Jeff as for me he expressed himself in a really unique way. As a musician of 25+ years I found learning his music gave me a new respect for just how unique and talented he really was. Anyway, thanks for comment :-)
Such wild potential! He moves me to my core. He was a bright and burning light in this world who could have lived an amazing life, burnt out far too soon. Love you always Jeff
I'm from Australia and I Visited New York a few years ago now. On the last night I was there I came back to my hotel and Gary Lucas had just finished playing some kind of small set and he was just sitting there. I wanted to talk to him and ask about Jeff as at the time I was obsessed with his music (still am really) but I never did...kind of regret I never atleast got a first hand view of what he was like
It's almost without a doubt in my mind, that Jeff Buckley could've revolutionized and ushered a whole new scene or style of music like John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix did. Fuck I mean it really sucks that the tragedy of him passing happened cause when something as catastrophic as this happening happens the void is filled complete shit or near to it.
People are right to say there is a void in music that Jeff left, and that he was one of the greats and there will never be anyone like him, but they are wrong in saying that all music today is crap. If you're just listening to the radio, then yes...it's almost all crap. But there IS good stuff out there. you just have to know where to look. I feel sorry for people who don't know this.
Jesus Christ ... All my life my musician parents owned Tim Buckley albums amid all the latter Beatles, Stones, Doors, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Holy Modal Rounders, CCR, etc... And I never took the time to devote ... I'll now spend the next few days and nights devouring every legit/ bootleg Tim and Jeff Buckley recording I can hunt down... If it's got the approval stamp of Jimmy Page... I'll take it.
That's it all the grungers of the 90's vedder,cornell,cobain,wyland,stayley,wood,hoon, etc. knew buckley was the man who was gonna change music he was the michaelanglo the mozart, the pavoratti then he died and we were fucked, kinda like when reagan became president and lennon was murdered so this world has suffered ever since.
this song...that song sounds so much like suicide, I mean 'it reminds me of the pain I might leave behind' about how loved ones would be hurt. 'I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow' he isn't afraid to die but life is so long and boring most of the time this song...is about death, that's my opinion hate all you want that's how the song connects to me. i'm not saying he actually wrote about death but...it makes sense
@terryrhf "A waste"? No. In the short time he was with us, Jeff gave many of us a reason to hope, a reason to love, & a reason to have faith in music and to believe in how powerful it can be. "This guy would have been an utter legend"? He IS a legend, dear. He was on his way to becoming a legend the first time he opened his mouth to sing and the first time he picked up a guitar, and he sure as hell had earned "legend" status by the time he died. Sad and heartwrenching? Yes. A waste? Hell no.
I've thought about it over and over and I don't think this was a suicide, but all the same I don't think he fought to survive this. I don't think he cared whether he lived or died, as long as this was what he was doing and he made the music and he was remembered for it. It's still ironic, the words he used in Grace. "And I feel them drown my name" Drown. He drowned. Hmm...
have you ever choked on a piece of meat before? Drowning is a lot like it, its youd bodys NATURAL response to BREATHE , take a next breath, whether you want to or not! I HATED MY LIFE, HATED MY ABUSIVE boyfriend, I had bronchitis, we were eating steak, I coughed and my body went to take a breath between coughs and it sucked the meat down the wrong pipe! There I was with him, I couldnt swallow it, cough it up nothing it was stuck...he kept asking if it was stuck ....I kept shaking my head no, then after awhile, he said Yes it is! He gave me the heimlick (sp) I hate fibromyalgia, the first thing to go in my memory was spelling! but I think you got what I mean, the piece of steak came out, and he just started running his mouth AGAIN, I got sick, had to go for an xray, the next day bc like when you get water in your lungs..the same as if you choke on food, xray your lungs to make sure you dont get particles of food or debris from water in your lungs which can lead to really bad infections and also kill you! So besides jumping off bridges and knocking yourself out "on purpose" I cant imagine him being happy , so happy going for a swim fully clothed, boots and all, howd he drown himself on purpose! That's so silly to even remark about! I might be, no I probably am extra sensative regarding suicides bc Ive had 2 ex boyfriends and 2 guys I dated for a few months or weeks , all very good friends still and one of their little brothers commit suicide! I dont find it amusing AT ALL!
DatWeirdoRosey and now we have Two angelic voices, almost ethereal, that we won't know for sure if they intended to check off the planet. But they are having a perpetual jam session--and Jeff is now united with his father, Tim.
They say that the deep and vast current of the Miss'a creates eddy's which can appear anywhere, at any moment and simply suck things down...just like the little ones any river swimmer may have noticed, from time to time. "They" say.
@awishedforsong no problem! Its very surreal when a comment you made well over a year ago gets a response. This was when I was going through a tough time in my life and went back to listening to Jeff to soothe my soul (as I have done before). I still stand by the comment though I will say there is good music out there, you just wont find it in the "top 40". Thanks for your comment :)
We can all interpret JB lyrics as some cryptic message, tbh he didn't have a death wish..people cling on to metaphor and meaning when there is none..he lived his time..he died sadly and we should all cherish what he left behind..I'm sure he would have laughed at the eulogies and the nonsense hagiography that some make of him and his work...
I don't know if this makes me a prick or not but it truly pisses me off that we lose a visionary like this as well as Shannon Hoon and Joe Strummer so young but people like Michael Bolton and Mark McGrath and Bobby Brown continue to draw a breath.
I love that Chris Cornell and Buckley were buddies cuz they are by far the two best vocalists of the past two decades.
Except for Layne Staley
@@wlcrutch I love layne but cornell and buckley definitely had better voices imo,
@jack-uv6mt I respect your opinion but they all definitely had impactfull voices that inspire me personally.
@@jack-uv6mt what you mean is they went higher than Layne. Dont confuse range with tonal quality cause Layne had a voice no one has ever had.
@@ritwikb401 Yes, I know what you mean. He had an extremely unique voice (although Buckley had an odd voice as well) Vocal range also isn't just high but low too, If I were to compare actual vocal ranges i'd have to look up each one of their ranges. I think Buckley would actually win that fight.

Paul Vicory Baffling and perplexing... The most enigmatic music I've ingested in a long, long time... R.I.P. Jeff. Sail on brother...

"No one sings like you anymore"
Now that statement has been doubly reiterated.... RIP Chris Cornell.
I'm a vocalist, performer with decent range and I still cry every time I sing Jeff's songs. He was always one foot in heaven, one hand on the string. Thank God for you, Jeff.
Feeling so melancholy tonight, watching Chris Cornell and now Jeff Buckley videos.
same here, hope they're making music together
Elizabeth B. crazy to think Christ would play solo shows with jeffs red telephone sitting on a stool next to him, hoping one day he might call.
RIP Jeff, and now RIP Chris
ah Jeff. there is no-one who can sing as passionately as you. raw power!
And Chris Cornell says 'the rain is falling and I believe my time has come'..Jeff Buckley. Chris Cornell. Rip. Thank you for the beautiful, beautiful music.
I love that guys reaction - "Phwooo!". He's got it spot on.
wizardaka I just recently heard Jeff Buckley for the first time. I heard "Grace". I was completely static throughout the whole song and then after those last notes from Jeff's voice I did exactly the same as the anchor. So powerful
All I can say is that I hope Chris and Jeff are jamming together right now.Wow!! How incredible would that be??
KissMySuccotash :) so true
That is a beautiful and very comforting thought 🖤🖤
Grace is still, and always will be, the greatest album I've ever heard.
Miss you everyday, Jeff...
Even the anchor guy said damn he's good lol
the old chris cornell and jeff buckley = pure inner beauty shining to the outside
That last scream gave me goosebumps.
Jeff Buckley- One of the greatest singers ever!!! What a voice!!
It's incredibly moving today to watch this video and hear Chris Cornell pronouncing those verses from Grace...Both great artists, both gone too soon...

Goosebumps!
PS... The song "Grace" was about overcoming the fear of death so that you can enjoy life... not about wanting to die.
A supreme artist singing his heart out for all of us to take from it what we want. Totally in the moment. Everytime.
wow I cried watching this. Jeff Buckley has that effect on me sometimes. He has such amazing talents, as a singer and songwriter
The ending of Grace gives me cold shivers/goosebumps every time.
I love the reaction of the reporter towards the end of video. He's in total awe, its great.
"He could've been doing anything he wanted to do" - so could YOU.
his voice always gives me chills
CHRIS CORNELL AND JEFF BUCKLEY MY TWO FAVS OMG❤
love you.Always.
Chills.
songwriting, composing and interpretation at its bests.
Jeff's loss always makes me feel so sad.... :((( the world of music will always miss his talent, poetry and angelic voice... Rest in Peace Jeff

rip layne staley aka angry angel

'(...)And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under,pulled me under....
Oh that was so real'
Shoot.
All of the prophetic lines are freaking me out. I don't think Jeff was the only one, Jimi also predicted his death.
It's haunting..
+Lucius Atkinson I know, it did me too! Listen to some of his other songs...its not just this one!
how did Jimi?
"...long enough for the clouds to fly me away...Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die...my fading voice sings of love But she cries to the clinking of time...walking to the bright lights in sorrow...we both might go tomorrow my love...and the rain is falling and I believe my time has come...

and music is bigger than life
I miss him.
I love you Jeff
Forever!
they made the music the best for the ears and soul,kings, the gods♥️♥️
Fuck this video makes me wanna cry and I didnt know him I was 3 when he died but I discovered him later on in life and still amazes me today
now we've lost these two f*cking musicians... ;[
I am crying.......
To Jeff. Thank you. You inspired me when I thought it was all gone. your spirit is inspiration. Follow the vibe, people!
Yea when I was a kid in the 70's and heard all the great music that was being put on vinyl and thought around 76 or 77 that music would just get better and better but comparatively after that everything minus a handful exceptions music de evolved.

It makes me sick to think of how he died.
This is amazing. Thank you for uploading!!
It's almost without a doubt in my mind, that Jeff Buckley could've revolutionized and ushered a whole new scene or style of music like John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix did. Fuck I mean it really sucks that the tragedy of him passing happened cause when something as catastrophic as this happening happens the void is filled complete shit or near to it.
that's freakin' moving..
This vid was amazing!!!!! one of the best tributes to jeff ever.
Hallelujah gives me the chiills.
The top five musician that died way to young and affected me the most were Jeff Buckley, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jaco Pastorious, John Bonham, John Lennon.
Awesome...thank you very much.
nice hommages
First heard JB @ an in store performance in Austin, Tx in 94'. After that, well all the JB lovers know what happened after that!
I wanna see Cornell cover grace
I absolutely agree my all time favorite.
1:27 I thought of that quote from this video as soon as I heard the news about Chris. RIP.
mamma mia che artista non finirò mai di ascoltarlo,grandeeeeeeeeeee
Legend. Nough said.
pure
People are right to say there is a void in music that Jeff left, and that he was one of the greats and there will never be anyone like him, but they are wrong in saying that all music today is crap. If you're just listening to the radio, then yes...it's almost all crap. But there IS good stuff out there. you just have to know where to look. I feel sorry for people who don't know this.
thank you very much.
thats so sad when his friends are reading his lyrics
Jesus Christ ... All my life my musician parents owned Tim Buckley albums amid all the latter Beatles, Stones, Doors, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Holy Modal Rounders, CCR, etc... And I never took the time to devote ... I'll now spend the next few days and nights devouring every legit/ bootleg Tim and Jeff Buckley recording I can hunt down... If it's got the approval stamp of Jimmy Page... I'll take it.
“I feel them drown my name...”
Gary - he was indeed a gift from God.
That's it all the grungers of the 90's vedder,cornell,cobain,wyland,stayley,wood,hoon, etc. knew buckley was the man who was gonna change music he was the michaelanglo the mozart, the pavoratti then he died and we were fucked, kinda like when reagan became president and lennon was murdered so this world has suffered ever since.
Jeff had already reached his potential, just would be great to still have him with us in body & not soley in Spirit...
Stay in the Fire
His grace.. haha
this song...that song sounds so much like suicide, I mean 'it reminds me of the pain I might leave behind' about how loved ones would be hurt. 'I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow' he isn't afraid to die but life is so long and boring most of the time
this song...is about death, that's my opinion hate all you want that's how the song connects to me. i'm not saying he actually wrote about death but...it makes sense
@MaTtRoSiTy THANK YOU for saying exactly what I've been thinking all these years.

The world is too ugly for some people and some people are just too beautiful for this world.

arezu rosey The whole album is full of lines that could be perceived as premonitions/predictions. Quite creepy.
+arezu rosey It's not ironic, it's coincidental. big difference lol

What does wait in the fire mean in jeffs lyrics.
@shir052 Greetings From Tim Buckley,should be out on VOD within a month or so.
where 0:47 is from?
I don't know if this makes me a prick or not but it truly pisses me off that we lose a visionary like this as well as Shannon Hoon and Joe Strummer so young but people like Michael Bolton and Mark McGrath and Bobby Brown continue to draw a breath.
Never heard such a range, Lenny? Are you not familiar with his father's work?
@shanec36 i'm pretty sure it's the bbc documentary. search "jeff buckly bbc". it's in like 6 parts.
That woman with the wonky fringe be the type to cause trouble in grocery stores round the country.
@holyturdsofjesus Hope you feel better now
@jimmypagejnr entirely agree with you
@jdidnoid Unsuccessful? I think his Grace has served it's purpose many times, in the hearts of those who feel it's impact in their own lives.
