Looked at the link and my legacy edition is the 10th anniversary one ...
I know he is love him or hate him but do you like Rufus Wainwright? I do and although Jeff's version is THE version of Hallelujah I saw Rufus do it live and he ain't half bad. He also has a tribute song to Jeff 'Memphis Skyline'. Rufus I think had been jealous of Jeff as they played the same clubs in New York and Jeff was doing a little better but think they made friends not long before he died.
Never thought of Hades
Under the Mississippi
But still I've come to sing for him
So southern furies
Prepare to walk for my harp
I have strung, and I will leave with him
Relax the cogs of rhyme
Over the Memphis sky
Turn back the wheels of time
Under the Memphis skyline
always hated him for the way he looked
In the gaslight of the morning
Then came hallelujah sounding like Ophelia
for me in my room living
So kiss me, my darling stay with me till morning
Turn back and you will stay
Under the Memphis Skyline
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
Not many people know Nick Drake - Chime you've got great taste in music.
(I'm now listening to last goodbye:
"You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye"
I've also got "sketches for my sweetheart" but Grace is THE Jeff one!
I love.... repeat love Jeff Buckley!!!
emmi... its a must buy... one of the greatest albums of all time... and its so timeless.
Redrock... 2000 posts soon.!!!!
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
I think last goodbye is the best funeral song ever....
This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then i'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all
Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye
Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over... it's over
emmi... its a must buy... one of the greatest albums of all time... and its so timeless.
righty right Dunk.
I'll see what I can do about it!

I'm not a huge fan of Jeff - I have Grace and think it's alright but I wouldn't get carried away with it.
I also prefer Cohens version of Hallelujah
The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
:eek: I know it's Cohen's song and lyrics (and the lyrics DO make the song!) but the emotion in Jeff's version just chokes you!
With all that Jeff talk and me having to listen to the album, I didn't do what I was supposed to do. So.... .back to MTV background noise and preparing french lessons. Talk to you guys later!
Lol, maybe it will, maybe it will! It's ok like! I just don't think it's a 'great' album.

Helen knew there was too much agreement on this thread, something didn't feel quite right
How did ya know?
And I get what you're saying RR, I just think it's cos I heard Cohen's version first and I think that's usually how it works.

oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
You have to listen to it tonight, crack open a bottle of wine, light some candles and (am I being a bit gay ) enjoy....
if you had finished that 'scene setting' with "run a hot bath with bubbles" i personally would have slain you with a really blunt piece of paper :mad:

"The wind blew an invocation and i fell asleep at the gate"
Very appropriate!
