| Jeff Buckley – Lover, You Should've Come Over Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
I read that he wrote the song about Rebecca Moore, his one time girlfriend. The song means a lot to me. It used to break my heart to listen to it - reminded me of a time when i was totally in love with a girl but we couldn't be together because of my personal circumstances. Happily, we are together now, but it still bears a heavy weight on my chest when i hear it....which to be honest is quite often. As a side topic, anyone heard "A Body Goes Down" by Duncan Sheik? Never heard of him before but recently heard this song which is a tribute to Jeff Buckley (the title is an obvious reference to his death). Beautiful song and lyrics which all Jeff fans will appreciate. "A body goes down, in the missippi waters, weighted by a beauty, afraid of his light, Notify your holy men, console your sons and daughters, tell me one more time, what is just, what is right" Actually, i guess i could find and post the whole lyric under Duncan Sheik as it's not there! |

Nickel is right - Jeff doesn't sing falsetto, he has a 5 octave range. I once stumbled across a web page that had these technical figures from a vocal coach who examined Jeff performing (I think) Mojo Pin, and their conclusion was that he was techinically a better singer than the likes of Pavarotti...for someone with no real training that is a stunning fact... The song? It's a love song, most definitely. Love is not always sweet and fluffy - often it's damn painful. Being truly in love, you leave yourself wide open to hurt. But also, anyone who has loved someone so much that they feel physical pain will recognize themselves here... |
