I cried all night, the first time I heard this song and Buckley's version of it. I love the Smiths, but this cover is what I believe repaired the relationship between my mother and I.
"Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head." To me, it seems that even at your very worst, when you're dead and lying in a casket and you feel the soil falling over you, the person you will always cry to and remember the most is your mother. They are Morrissey's words but Jeff sings it so naturally and so purely and so so beautifully.
