A little encouragement for All.

1. Jeff Buckley was beautiful while he was alive.

Listen to some of his other stuff. Seems strange that he's been gone for more than a decade now. He's proof that music can run in families.

4. Thank you. Truth is inevitable. It's what we call soul. nt

5. If you haven't listened much to him

his music is heartbreaking. His father was also a musician-Tim Buckley. Both were gifted and both died so young.

Here's a live version of Hallelujah that makes me shiver.

2. I found Jeff Buckley on Pandora with my Roku.

3. When he died it put me in some strange stage of mourning.

He was brilliant while he was alive and deserved to be known. Everything is heartbreaking. His voice makes you ache.

6. It does. It's so bare, no BS, you can hear it. I'm a new fan.

7. Glad to hear it.

He deserves every bit of it.

8. That has always been the best version of the song, IMHO.

The other wonderful song is "once I was a soldier" by Tim Buckley.
I have kept those songs for many years, they still move me deeply.

9. I agree, because you can always expect Cohen to do Cohen, but, when someone else does Cohen AND

creates something new with it, from their own mind/heart/life, that's even better.
