hi! i saw you posting about jeff buckley, could you tell me anything about him? do you have any recommendations for his music, albums, songs, etc?

-your secret santa [❤️]

Yes, of course! I'm so glad you asked about him!

Honestly, I could tell you his whole life story but I don't want to answer this question in a novel, lol! In short, he was a singer from the 90s and honestly can sing and genre, he had one of the most beautiful male voices ever, I think. His dad, Tim Buckley was actually a folk singer himself, but Jeff never knew him since he died when he was only eight. But he got the musical gene, and he got berry popular for a while when he released his first album, Grace. Although, he tragically died from an accidental drowning in the Mississippi river in 1997 when he was only 30 years old, during the time he was working on an unreleased second album, Sketches for My Sweetheart, the Drunk.

For studio album recommendations, I can really only suggest Grace and Sweetheart the Drunk, since they were the only releases he was able to finish when he was alive. Although, he released many live albums that are incredible and he plays a lot of different stuff during thoes. For live albums, me favorite are Live at Sin-é and Mystery White Boy. You can also check out So Real: Songs from Jeff Buckley and You and I.

As far as songs, his most popular is probably his cover of Hallelujah. But I would suggest: Lover You Should Have Come Over, I Know It's Over, Corpus Christi Charol, So Real, Opened Once, Forget Her, Everybody Here Wants You, Eternal Life, You & I, Grace, Nightmares by the Sea, Mojo Pin, Lilac Wine and his cover of Mama You've Been on My Mind and I Shall Be Released by Bob Dylan.

I'm sorry this was so long, as you can tell, I really love Jeff Buckley 😅❤️

george harrison is the most beautiful man who ever lived. ever

I'm sorry but releasing the LAST Beatles song and putting the FIRST Beatles song on the B-Side and integrating backing vocals from other songs from different periods of their career. That's so fucked up and lovely 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧

oh they all loved john so much. you can really see it shining through in the care they put into now and then, how every part they added just serves to elevate the preexisting track. how now, in 2023, they decided to go back and finish it because they wanted to make one last song with him even if it's decades later. you can really just feel all the love that went into it. i'm crying
