This is not a breakup song... 10 years later when you still feel you have love for her, and the memories just get too real, your heart skips a beat, and all you'd ever want to say to her is "Hello"
The night my profile pic was taken was the first time i kissed her. Over the last 30 years i have see her around town and in others. Each time i can feel my heart stop.
Oh man you just gave voice to my hearts feelings .... Not 10 years but for me it has been almost 4 years and I still can't get over her( yet we were just friends, she didn't know that I had feelings for her, and I was too afraid of losing her that I never told her. You know when you find a such a treasure your biggest fear becomes losing her, because you know you'll never find someone like her again. She was literally divine, she was like a masterpiece of art that you only want to watch and admire but never touch, and she had the most beautiful soul. Sometimes I couldn't even believe that she was real, she was too good to be real). I've had been in relationships before her but she was my first love, "I've searched the universe And found myself within' her eyes" . So 4 years ago I moved to another country and I haven't seen her ever since, we haven't even spoken to each other . but she has been on my mind every single moment and "memories just get too real and my heart skips a beat" and as time passes my love for her gets stronger and deeper. I still remember her voice, her eyes, her golden hair, her smile in morning and her sweet hugs. I can't stop thinking about her for a moment and I'll never forget her cause "There's no one else could ever make me feel I'm so alive". And "she lives on inside of me , we've never been apart" and she's probably the best part of me. I haven't been in any kind of relationship in these 4 years ,I just can't be with someone else when I know I'll be lying to them. I know I'll be searching for parts of her in them. Even now I don't dare to tell her how much I love her, I don't want any kind of relationship with her because I know relationships always end and I'm afraid of losing her forever. I just want her to be happy, find someone who loves her and makes her feel alive. And maybe someday, like after 20 years, somewhere on this planet I'll see her again, and we'll say "hello". Or we will just smile, "cause sometimes words Aren’t the right words to say" ( Sorry for my English, I'm not a native. It's 3 am here and I couldn't sleep cause "she flames in me". I just wanted to write down my all this chaos that is in my head , I'm sorry)
@@aylindavoudi I'm glad you did, and I'm glad I took the time to read it all, gave me goosebumps all the way. I feel this is more than coincidence. I have been working with a girl the past year and a half, which I totally feel inlove with (after I got over the breakup which took me to this song). And I havent said anything, for fear of losing whatever I have in her. And I can tell you, I dont want to listen to this song thinking about what couldve been, I want to be sitting next to her, listening together. And it has to happen, sooner or later. Goodluck, and go for it. Its just love
met this girl years ago. i quickly fell in love with her, her personality, her perspective of the world, her drive, and passion. fast forward to a year ago. we dated for a little under a year, things quickly fell through the cracks. she became the person i fear now. yet, when i hear this song i feel inclined to reach out again. she was my best friend. i'll always remember how deeply i loved her. i would listen to this song over and over again if it meant that she's listening to this song as well... even if she's not thinking of me. i know a part of me still holds true unconditional love for her. i hope you're listening to this song and i hope you are happy with your life. warm regards
Convinced Jeff Buckley is one of the only people who can truly cover Bob Dylan. Jeff is able to retain the complexity and spirit of Dylan while also adding his own beautiful, melodic, heartbreaking sound.
I don';t think I can agree he is the only one, but Jeff definitely has phenomenal covers and does "retain the complexity and spirit of Bob while also adding..." Great guitarist!
The absolute gutwrenching honesty of Dylan's lyrics mixed with the heartbreaking honesty of Buckley's voice and guitar are responsible for this - one of the simplest masterpieces ever captured. Timeless. It will always be beautiful and it will always break the heart of whoever hears it for at least six minutes and forty-four seconds that day.
Virna Gvero sweet melody. how long it has been. sold me from beginning to close now lingering. words. like whispers of a time i find forgot. blessed meant has fallen to my knee. in memory.
Dylans version makes me feel like "Ok, thanks for everything. I will always cherish you cause you were an important part of my life, but you're happy without me and I won't force myself in. Time to move on." However, this cover just makes me want to open a bourbon bottle a drink alone. How can that be? I mean they're the same lyrics!
It is different for everyone. Bob's singing is completely different. He knows how to pierce through your heart with his raw voice. His voice ain't no joke.
If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier She left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear Say for me that I'm all right though new things come and go She might think that I've forgotten her but don't tell her it isn't so We had a falling-out, like lovers often will But to think of how she left that night, still gives me a chill And I know our separation, well it pierced me to the heart She still lives on inside of me, we've never been apart If you're making love to her, kiss her for the kid Who always has respected her for doing what she did And I know it had to be that way, it was written in the cards But the bitter taste still lingers on, it all came down so hard Well, I meet a lot of people as I make the rounds And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off Well, either I'm too sensitive or else I'm just gettin' soft If you see her Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past I know every scene by heart 'cause they all went by so fast If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find Tell her, she can look me up if she's got the time (2x)
He has such an angelic, original voice. It's like he knew exactly how to sing each note and phrase them just right to elicit the exact emotion he was going after. In fact he does that in every song he's ever sung.
Youghp Cornejo As long as we still listen to his music, he is, he lives on in his words he sings, the feeling he put forth in each line. A soul is immortal, and Jeff poured his into the words he sung.
Such a simple sentiment. If you see her - if you happen to, anyway - just say hello. Don't ignore her, she's special. She's worth more than a passing look or smile. She's such an amazing person, full of life, she might be in Tangiers, exploring the world. Beautifully written and beautifully sung. Bob Dylan said the definitive version of All Along the Watchtower is Jimi Hendrix's, I wonder if he feels similarly about this one.
If you see her, say hello She might be in Tangier She left here last early spring Is livin' there, I hear Say for me that I'm all right Though things get kind of slow She might think that I've forgotten her Don't tell her it isn't so We had a falling-out Like lovers often will And to think of how she left that night It still brings me a chill And though our separation It pierced me to the heart She still lives inside of me We've never been apart If you get close to her Kiss her once for me I always have respected her For doin' what she did and gettin' free Oh, whatever makes her happy I won't stand in the way Though the bitter taste still lingers on From the night I tried to make her stay I see a lot of people As I make the rounds And I hear her name here and there…
He's just so honest..in a way that you can tell he'd been honest and true to himself for a long time, even when he got metaphorically beat up for it,. You can tell he doesn't conform in any way through even listening to his songs. That's why we love him so ..we know that part of ourselves, whether we follow it or not, we know it's the road less travelled..but look at the beauty that manifests itself down that road...there are only a few people that I've met in my 31 years of life that follow their own inner voice like he did. I guess we call them artists.
Wow... I'm just now discovering this artist TODAY!!! I can't believe that this guy's music wasn't all over all of the radio stations. This guy is far more talented than the majority of musicians that have played on the pop stations... and yet - I've NEVER HEARD OF HIM until TODAY!!!
+thewirah1 I'm just amazed that I have NEVER HEARD of HIM before NOW!!! What???? This guy is so darn talented! I can't believe that his music didn't make it more into the mainstream pop venues.
+mario moosh Gosh, how I hate these I'm-special-because-I'm-young-and-have-good-taste-in-music comments + music-was-better-back-in-the-day. It wasn't. Crappy music has always been around and it has always been massively popular, it was just different crap. Also, this is pop music according to the dictionary definition of popular music. Finally, I love Jeff but the original version of this song is much better.
Nad well what can we say today’s music is boring, no taste in real music and pointless lyrics into it, this is our safe place, it’s everyone’s safe place
"We had a falling-out, like lovers often will And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart" . . .
TERESA CUESTA Es de Dylan. "If you get close to her, kiss her once for me" "She might think that I’ve forgotten her, don’t tell her it isn’t so" "I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free" Y la hago mía. . .
zaxapitsa His covers are crazy good and of course, when I was 15 he introduced me to that mysterious L. Cohen who wrote the cover on his debut album. 😉 That alone puts me in his debt for a lifetime.
“ I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town, and I’ve never gotten used to it, just learned to turn it off “ Such a relevant song, some 30 odd years later.
A great, great talent who didn't get the opportunity to complete his journey. I'm very glad I had the chance to see Jeff perform in London, mid 1995. He was a class act.
Jeff Buckley … my love since for ever ✨ it’s been a long time since I don’t listen to his music, mayb i was trying to forget certain time in my life … but today you came into my playlist and I didn’t skip … my heart is raising and tears are coming down…
Among all these comments it is good to see that some people still appreciate "Music" because this is MUSIC ! There are true artist out there trying to make a living with there music, and today's music is all about making a song catchy by any means necessary. True artist are not recognized any more...and this is a big shame ! Mr Buckley you were a true artist and your music is into millions of people soul, and somehow you are still alive through us.
I had never heard of this fella before tonight. I just listened to Hallelujah, and now this. I am so glad to have found his music even after all this time, but it's so sad that I never new of him when he was alive. I feel like I miss someone I never knew.
As soon as heard that guitar that’s when I said to man, that’s our Jeff doin his thang! And I played it to him but he didn’t feel my feels. I fell in love with you Jeff way back in early 2000’s… My heart melted then, every year in between and still melts now. The voice of an Angel fell in my lap and leaves me heartfelt and wanting in every line. Thank you beautiful Angel. Within your wings and voice, we find love and light 😭🥰😇❤️✊🏽✌🏾🙏🏾
Growing up, I knew the name Jeff Buckley, I knew he did that hauntingly beautiful rendition of Hallelujah. I was too young and a bit naive to fully delve into his catalogue of stuff; Grace, Live at Sin-e, and his posthumously released body of unfinished work/and his incredible covers scattered through out YT. In the last few months I started listening, really listening. After I gave a good listen to Grace last year, I was changed. I knew he wasn’t on this planet anymore. I needed time to process his depth, his beauty, musicality. His voice...Before I started to listen to everything of his, watch every live, available performance of his. And now that’s what I’m doing. I listen to each new song, performance, interview with the impending doom that soon I will come to the last “New” thing, to me, at least. It’s a ticking time bomb. The last thing I come upon will be a sonic boom and I will never ever be the same again.
It's amazing, that dylan sorta wrote in the most amazing way regardless of what he is referring to in each song, and buckley is just freakin' amazing, well no words for his voice!! there is not a lot to say but listen..
it's sort of strange and funny that when i first heard, Jeff Becks version of Hallelujah i didn't comprehend it's intricate meanings and enclosed vocal captions, that i deemed it "bad" or uninteresting. It's only a few years later that i have come to realize the power of his voice, and the pain, and story that is in his voice and words/ It's strange and kinda funny makes me wanna laugh and cry at the same time, that i've grown so much and am able to appreciate this music more than i ever imagined i could. It's simply breathtaking. I guessed i always listed to Jeff, but i never heard him. I didn't hear Jeff until now.
I have just discovered you Mr. Buckley. Your songs remind me of the feeling I experienced when I hear Bob Dylan for the first time. Good to know you are out there. Thank you.
I can hear so many amazing influences in his music, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Taj Mahal, BB King, John Lee Hooker... lot of sweet ass blues tunes and great musicians.
I’ll always love you, we had a great run. You’ll always be the love of my life, thank you for helping me with all my issues after my parents passed, thank you for all the laughing, love, and warmth you had. Good luck, I’ll always be here for you. Goodbye. ❤️
I find it amazing that, after like the first couple Songs ive heard of him, I already knew that hes going to be a classic to me. After all these years all his Songs are still really moving. Its just one of the most magic Albums EVER created!
Same. Authenticity in relationships fade into adulthood. People start seeing them in a business like manner. This reminds me of the time before then, in my late teens.
absolutely no one does bob dylan quite like jeff, he pours so much emotion into everything he sings, what an unbelievable talent. what a loss to the world, he died and took the most beautiful lyrics never written with him 🤍
Signed in just for this one- have heard his songs before but never this cover- it’s got the same words but sounds like something completely different - really wonderful, everything about it real sad one can feel it
Een overdaad aan emoties gedomineerd door pijn, gedragen door een enkele sterveling. Deze overweldigende pijn al dan niet dubbelzinning gezeteld in deze prachtige muziek. Dank je wel Jeff. Nooit en te nimmer zullen wij je kunnen vergeten. Moge je daar ginder eeuwig zwemmen in een zee van vrede en geluk.
