With how he's just sitting out on a curb playing this song, I can't help but wonder if there was anybody off in the distance who heard him and just had to stop whatever they were doing to listen to this beautiful performance.
excellent. I think this is the gold standard for Jeff Buckley covers. Capturing the emotion without being an exact replica of the original, but instead succesfully adding your soul into the work. 10/10
Beginning of the video: Happy and friendly dude who wants to sing a song he likes. During the song: A man who has felt the pain of every person's heartbreak at once. After the song: Happy as if nothing happened.
There are very few who can sing this song perfectly let alone in their own style. You gave this song your own touch without losing its beauty. Your version is touching as well as unique. Keep it up!
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water Maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight, you're on my mind so You never know Broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it. Too young to hold on And too old to just break free and run Sometimes a man gets carried away, When he feels like he should be having his fun Much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no-one... So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return? Oh, will I ever learn? Oh, Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late. Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep That won't ever come It's never over, My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, All my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her... It's never over, All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter... It's never over, She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever... But maybe I'm just too young to keep good love From going wrong Oh... lover you should've come over... Yes, and I feel too young to hold on I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind To see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over Oh, love, well I'll wait for you Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late.
That poor little alley...it's alley friends will never believe it, and after years of listening to plastic bags twisting in the wind and screeching car tires in the distance, it would be hard to go on after hearing a heartbroken angel's voice reverberating off the alley walls on its way back to heaven, and knowing it'll never happen again.
I came here for yet another Jeff Buckley cover, but I must say that I am truly blown away by your performance. Excellent rendition of this great song. You are gifted with a great voice.
i really didnt know what i expected, but i certainly didnt think i'd be weeping as much as i am. This was so fucking beautiful thank for for covering one of my fave songs so perfectly you angel
Jimi Davis I don’t think my heart is ready 😻😩 keep blessing us you beautiful, curly haired, ethereal angel. I really hope you make it one day the world needs real talent again 💛💛
You have the silent but deadly vocals. I did NOT expect you to pull out those notes and I mean that in the nicest way possible. This was unreal. You have incredible vocals! Keep doing what you do!👌🏼
Jeff's death was one of the greatest hits the music industries has ever taken...Just think of what he would have been creating still today. so sad... With that being said... Outstanding Job.
What I love about your cover is that it's not a carbon copy at all while keeping the emotion and intentions behind it. It's a fun song to sing and a sad and rough one to sing as well. Usually sing it when I'm sad, everyone's got a different meaning with a song and this song is my kind of song to say how lonely I really am. Great cover by the way! I want an acoustic so I can cover it.
Dude. You just ripped the heart right out of my chest and left me sitting here wondering what in the ever living light I’m supposed to do now. That was beyond words, thank you. ❤️
My goodness I am pained that I only came across this jaw droppingly beautiful cover 😔 one of my favourite artists and songs of all time. Kudos to you sir ❤️ much love. Rest in eternal peace Jeff wherever you are ❤️
Woah dude. You are so incredibly talented and in the flow of it is natural. You absolutely nailed that falsetto pinch in the last "to keep good love from going wrong". That part of the song always flicks my soul and makes me remember it's there. Shivers dude. You have a wonderful voice and excellent control over it. The 12 string sounds beautiful and the car parks natural reverb... Dam man. Dam. You got it brother. My deepest respect.
with a all do respect no one will ever top Jeff Buckley ... BUT i believe that Lover you should've come over is arguably the greatest love song ever written ....and because i believe that Buckley was not a real mortal man..... YOU SIR ARE THE CLOSEST A HUMAN BEING IS GOING TO GET TO THIS WONDERFUL SONG, INCREDIBLE RENDITION ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING AND HEART FELT ... YOU DID THIS SONG AN HONOR AND IT HAS BECOME A MUST LISTEN .... CONGRATS!!!!
To anyone who comes across this comment, there's no such thing as "topping" another musician. There's only different renditions and vocal types, nothing about being "better" or "worse". I know it may be a difficult concept to fully assimilate, but this is at least what I believe to be most correct. Just enjoy music people, without doing comparisons ;)
And.... a year later, I'm still listening to your version. Your voice is beautiful. 4 octaves !! And you play the guitar in a wonderful way. From Argentina, I follow you and I listen to you.
This is beautiful, man! This is my fav song ever, I was afraid to even hear the cover, but you did the great job, and what's more important you didn't imitate his voice you did it with your own and it makes it more realistic.
Your voice make me fell so good... I love this song and You make me remember a Jeff Buckley. I know that song sang with the sould. I apreciate is the Best song ever i listened thanks for that moment
Hey man. I think I've already commented on this video a year or two ago, when I first heard it - and I'm back haha. It sounds just as good the 100th time. None of the shine has worn off, and it is just as powerful and evocative. I hesitate to use the word "perfect" - but honestly this is as close as can be. I really can't overstate how tremendous this performance is. It's faithful without being a carbon copy, but it still has the spirit and feel that Jeff's music has. There is just something VERY special happening here. This song is already very special to me - and your interpretation of it will always be part of that magic now. I appreciate you, brother 🙏
Listening and watching this, it felt like you wrote this and that it was straight from your soul. I am a HUGE Jeff Buckley fan and this is my favorite song. You honored it and him, and you honored yourself and your talent. Thank you for this beautiful performance. Best wishes to you with your career. I'll be listening to more of you!
I love this. Felt like listening to one of my favorite songs ever and glad this popped up when I searched. You did a fantastic job, thanks for helping keep the memory of Jeff alive for me.
Few people can make a cover of Jeff Buckley's songs as it requires artistry, emotions, and the ability to draw in the listeners to the space and story of a song. Thanks for this. 💙
Man Jimmy, your cover has left me FLOORED. It goes without saying that to attempt a Jeff Buckley song is an enormous, risky undertaking. But not only did you have the technical ability, but the FEELING with which you sang this song left me in a trance. I don't think you could've done a better rendition of one of my all time favorite songs. Thank you for sharing your gift and passion. Amazing job.
So glad it resonated with you too! Was nervous about covering this song buuut I might have to do another cover for my birthday again this year ;) I'm stuck between Mojo Pin, Grace or Dream Brother.
Jimmy Davis well, you couldn't go wrong with any of those three, but personally I'm hoping you'll go with Grace! Can't wait to hear what you do next, cheers!
This is truly a masterpiece you reignite the flame I am just blown away by the talent and how well the song is captured you have taken my love for Jeff Buckley to a whole new place
