| Patty Griffin – Goodbye Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| This song is about Jeff Buckley. Not many people know that but it's true. Jeff has inspired many artists and many songs. PJ Harvey's Memphis is about Jeff. Also Chris Cornell's Wave Goodbye, The Cocteau Twins' Rilkean Heart... Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead had Jeff in mind too. | |
| Jeff Buckley – Morning Theft Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To grab your attention... the woman Jeff wrote this about wrote a song about him also but I believe Morning Theft is an answer to her song. The name of it is at the end of this note. Some of you are off and some aren't but the reason why Jeff never wanted his lyrics released was because he wanted the song to mean whatever the listener wanted or heard. According to the book Dream Brother, this song has references to two of Jeff's former girlfriends... Rebecca Moore and Liz Frasier. Many of Jeff's songs on Grace are about Rebecca but Morning Theft's line, Your precious daughter in the other room asleep is about Liz's girl. Liz is an astounding singer from the bands This Mortal Coil and the Cocteau Twins whom were some of Jeff's favorite bands. Liz wrote and sang a song called Rilkean Heart which is about Jeff and their romance. You must listen to it. The better version is on the Twinlights EP. |
