For several years, I've been dealing with an ugly, malicious, monstruous man. Listening to Jeff Buckley reminds me that beauty, sensitivity, humanity really exists. I truly love him for that.
Get out! There is somebody in every(!) town, city, etc., that would be willing to help you escape the cruelty! Look for it & PLEASE get out ASAP as your life depends upon it!
@@kandeebennett4629 Thank you for caring. People around me don't understand how traumatising it is to be the target of someone who exhibits psychopathic traits. I'm not in a relationship with this man, I closed every door I could. He just enjoys to try to hurt me. For him, it's just entertainment and he never seems to grow tired of it. For me, this situation is exhausting. That's what he wants, to suck the life out of me, and than mock me for feeling the pain and damage he's trying so hard to inflict.
I read an interview with Jeff where he talked about his music. I’d never heard a note of his music yet his words went straight from the page to my heart. He was playing that same night, one concert in Sydney at the Phoenician Club. I didn’t know it was impossible to find tickets for it. I never went to concerts. But I had to go to this one. To go to be with this soul. I went & stood by the entry door gazing into the Club. A man came to the door and said he had some complimentary ticket & would I like one. So I entered as I was meant to be there. Like coming home to hear my dear beautiful heart brother sing. Jeff was real. A one in a million so rare one. I miss him.
Ty for sharing that moment of your Reality.. It was meant to be, the wonderful stranger an Angel to confirm that your dreams needed details, the concert needed your witness to the soul bond. First time I've heard this tune and during a moment of reflection of someone missed and dear to me, the Title alone drew me into an the song, a signal thru the noise. Ty for confirming the artist's mastery..
Thank you for sharing this. I wonder if this was the same Phoenician club Jeff concert I went to? It would have been around 2005-ish. [Postscript: I got the decade wrong!! It was more like 1995-ish] Like you, I very rarely attended concerts, but I had had the very good fortune of meeting Jeff and his band. My friend and I got to go to every gig in their Sydney tour after the first one at the Metro. At the Phoenician club, Jeff had given us green room passes, and he autographed my silk-satin entry pass. Then... I watched the most phenomenal live performance ever. Do you recall when he let his voice range wildly and freely up and down through god knows HOW many octaves. No words, just incredible sounds and vocal expressions. Maestro. Do you recall he threw one of his guitar picks into the audience? I don't know how this happened but I caught it!!! I still have it. Do you recall that he dedicated one of his songs to "My Kangaroo Blue"? No, that wasn't me, sadly, but a beautiful Sydney woman who had blue hair with silver bells in it, they were having a lovely little romance. I always wondered if she knew of his dedication... I'm guessing she was there. Anyhow, what an AMAZING soul, and an amazing concert! So glad you followed your instincts and went.
but also so much EF telling JB to back tf off... this song is the craziest window to conversation - idk.. i just believe my heroes speak in song bc they sing so well
This is one of those songs that you find by accident, by two of the most perfectly gifted singers ever, and when you stumble across it again, you wonder how it ever escaped you in the first place.
It's not the song that is unfinished. It is the world around the song. The song is perfection, and I pray that one fine day the world around it will finally line up, harmonize and match it.
Liz`s giggle at the start is heartbreaking. It then goes on to become the most beautiful duet i`ve ever heard. This is what music was always meant to be. Magical.
@@takeapictureitlllastlonger5768 how ironic you'd say that with a picture of a massive alcoholic as your avatar. Jeff wasn't drunk at his time of death either, so that's just plain wrong
In like MFing the summer of 2015 I drove to Fing Buffalo, NY all the way from MFing DFW in a god damn Penske taking highly classified architectural stainless steel material back to the place of its birth......and I made god damn sure to stop in Memphis.....get the F off the highway.....grab me a god damn coffee at some bull$hit overpriced brick and mortar........and I drove my $hit over to the exact spot where Jeff jumped into the MFing stupid as all F water and I Fing spit into it....basically at the end of that there parking lot.
The fact that Liz was upset about this song being released,saying something to the effect of, 'why does everything have to be heard?' makes me feel guilty sometimes listening to it, like it was clearly this very personal recording, moment, song to the two of them. She also was upset it got out because she said it 'wasn't finished' which makes me think this must be like a bare bones, acoustic version of the song. All that said, it makes me tear up every time I listen and in my own selfish way, I am so grateful it did get out.
+verveine m Exactly of course she wasn't going to redo her parts when he died or anything she just knows they could have done it much better and this is basically a home demo. She probably also feels it is an invasion of her/their privacy because they had an affair at the time. In a way it's akin to the whole wide world listening to private unfinished recordings of you and your ex who tragically died young after the break up. I wouldn't want that either :/ anyway I've heard she warmed to the idea of it being out for us all to hear and is proud of it as she should be, so don't feel guilty. Thanks Jeff, thanks Elizabeth.
+verveine m well said, very thought-filled and compassionate. don't know the answer but perhaps because liz was such a perfectionist, or maybe cuz she has sought solitude and doesn't welcome the intrusion of critique, or maybe simply cuz she so valued her relationship both personally and professionally with buckley and for whatever reason felt compelled not to share this duet with the world. who knows? but it's a truly beautiful rendering and like so many buckley-written tunes this one's mesmerizing and agonizingly beautiful.
@@iandt1367 he was a force of nature that wasn't ours to keep. I have a line that she's a whole chorus in one of my songs that was about him because he just was being interviewed by this guy that I actually had a thing for who was writing about about Grace.... I never told anybody that... Hey but the grace of God go I stealing the words out of the mouths of future ghosts.. Wirelessly... He was so unimpressed with himself... I liked that. It was inevitable that this world could not hold on to him. But I like the way you said it here. 🕳️💚
"an almost primal ferocity" do you ppl just get this maudlin phrasing shit from GPT? it really ruins the comment section on these videos en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_prose
One of the last things me and my sister did before she died was watch Jeff Buckley live vids, she sent me this song another day when I was in a bad place and it meant everything to me - miss you Rita ❤🩹
Their voices are like warm honey and syrup melting into one another. I don’t think I’ve ever heard two voices that sounded so satisfying together in my life.
I’ve had a copy of grace for some years now. I didn’t even know this song existed I barely discovered it this morning on July 30, 2023 I can’t stop listening to it it’s absolutely beautiful. For so long I’ve kept a small pocket full of songs that make me float. So happy I get to put a new one in my pocket. It’s perfect. 💙
I always keep coming back to this video and read all the latest comments. Everyone always spreading love and making it feel like such a safe place. I love everyone’s different perspectives on this unfinished masterpiece. Personally, in some weird way I’m almost glad it’s was never complete. For me this could be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, every time I come back it just somehow feels like a secret which I’m sharing with all you beautiful people. ❤
Despite Elizabeth Fraser's misgivings about this recording, I (and it seems many others) honestly feel that this is the perfect version of this song. Putting a whole bunch of production into a song like this would probably make it feel much less immediate and heartfelt. This is old-school music making at it's best: a lightning-in-a-bottle take of a stunning song by two great artists at the height of their powers and with an obvious and strong emotional chemistry between them. You don't want to go messing too much with a piece of art that came out as perfectly formed as this did. I just love this track to bits, and the world would be a lesser place without it.
The immediacy, the capture of the emotion of the moment, the depth of feeling, all make this the only recording there should be. It is a testament to their passion and connection, that can never be surpassed. Look at the number of views, many of which are people like me who come back to it time and again for that very reason.
This song is like a forbidden fruit, not meant to be consumed. It's so good I kind of regret I heard it, like I did't derserve to. But I also feel blessed and thankful. I stumble upon this in the prime of my life, having recently met a very special person. And now the joy of the song and the person are forever intertwined and deeply engraved in my head.
To me, this is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, if not the most. So raw, yet so delicate, so angry, yet so tender, so sophisticated, yet so simple. As a songwriter myself, this is the type of stuff that motivates me to work hard to improve my craft in order to create something as touching as this, yet makes me hopeless as I probably never will. It's one of those things that somehow eludes the understanding of the very creator, I mean, I don't see how someone who writes this song is even aware of what he/she's doing, and the fact that Fraser seems to be unhappy about this recording seems to prove my point. We are in desperate need of more music like this, but who really knows how to write it? What a stroke of genius and inspiration. This is magic.
The chords are simple. The melody and singers make the song. If you can write a good melody and sing then that's the most you can ask for. The magic only happens for very few.
+Prophetic Rain-Maker ...agreed, how good is this?? I remember listening to Pearly dew drops in the early 80s thinking it was a perfect song! This is great! RIP Jeff, what a talented pair.
This is possibly the greatest song in existence. I don’t mean that in just a casual way. This is not just what people casually say is a masterpiece. This is human. It’s nature. It’s alive. It’s real. It’s is everything that is great. This is the voices of god, and the words of nature.
Damn, that comment just gut checked me. I miss having that level of intimacy and special bond. Only experienced with one person, but it was the best feeling I think a human can experience, enhances the rest of life too.
I always feel guilty when i listen to this masterpiece, It's like if I'm invading an intimate relationship, a secret between two lovers... when i read about how Elizabeth was upset with it release and how she repeated that its not finished it make me so sad. But at the same time, im so happy and grateful im alive and i have the privilege to listen to it. this is my treasure, my big big secret, its perfect, its divine..
So glad this didn't stay hidden. This is an absolute treasure. She should be proud of this...I think it is one of the greatest things she has recorded...and that is saying A LOT.
The song always sounds to me like the conversation at the end of a relationship where one person's in denial on the other person is giving up. It's heart-wrenching but completely beautiful- I thank my lucky stars everyday that I stumbled upon this on accident
Lyrics: My eyes are A baptism Oh, I am fuse And sing her Into my thoughts Oh, phantom elusive thing Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no-one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no-one for you But here is one, but here is one... Here is one ... Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no-one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no-one for you But here is one, but here is one... Keep it going in me, wicked traveller Fading farther from me With your face in my window glow Oh, where will you weep for me? Sweet willow It's ok to be angry But not to hurt me Your happiness Yes, yes, yes Darling, darling, darling All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one But here is one But here is one..
I saw Jeff play in Austin in 94 at a record store. It's true! After the show I walked up to him and said I had never heard anyone sing like that before. His response was Really, I'm glad you liked it" Then I asked him for a hug and he did. I'm not gay or whatever. It was just the vibe and there was women everywhere and I talked to him maybe 3 or 4 minutes. Then women surrounded him and pushed me out of the way. You don't forget something like that, your whole life you don't!
I'd be happy if I saw him live and just touched him!! You were given a special treat! Be thankful for that. I wish i could have had that experience. 💚💚
The intimacy of their angelic voices and lyrics intertwined never fails to stir up so much emotion within me. At this time of this recording, they were a couple. Knowing that Liz was devastated when this track was released without her knowledge, shows that the intimacy we hear pales in comparison to their bond. It’s like a love letter that’s revealed... so deeply personal and private. I can’t imagine the loss she felt, when we collectively lose this angel... I pray that she finds solace in the knowledge that this intimate love song has touched the soul of every listener❤️
@@sofiaolan5327 they were together, if this song couldn't tell you that lol. more of a whirlwind like written in the stars romance(to me), but shes spoken about it & him. he toured through the uk in the early 90s too, as well as i think elizabeth did some work over here.
There's a lot of praise for the vocals (which is warranted, the vocals by both Jeff and Liz are AMAZING) but I think the guitars in this song are absolutely sublime, and very underrated. Jeff is really known for his voice, but he was an extremely skilled and unique guitar player who worked very hard to get there.
Absolutely, been trying to work out the chords, I’m sort of halfway there with them but it’s the rhythm which is surprisingly tricky. Such a lovely guitar player.
I heard it for the first time yesterday and listened to it a few times soaking it in. I realised last night that the chorus was still in my head and I went to bed hearing it and I woke up this morning with it still playing in my head. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful piece of art.
People thought this song wasn’t as good as it could of been cause Elizabeth didn’t have her angelic Cocteau lyrics but I find this song incredibly personal as they made it with and for each other they loved each other. I love Jeff Buckleys work so sad I will never be able to see him and Elizabeth what a voice I wish this song was licensed on Spotify
Years after he died he appeared in my dream. He said "you never really die". Then he smiled the sweetest smile. For some reason, when I woke, I was really freaked out. Maybe it was the calm matter of fact way it was said. I will never forget that dream..
Millicent Ingram I'm about Jeff's age and I had met him one time in Austin,Tx at an instore jam I think it was 94 or 5 and fell for Jeff instantly. I had never heard anyone sing like that before, I've dreamt about him many times, so I feel ya!
Millicent Ingram Me too, lots of "dreams" with Jeff, sometimes in spaces with others too. What's more is that he appeared when I was mourning him, over my bed, smiling - not a dream, I'd just waken up at dawn (not twilight like the pre-edit) - & many visits thereafter. He told me also that you never "die" & made it VERY clear that he is Not a "ghost". Ghosts are stuck between worlds, Jeff is not stuck anywhere. He is still involved in his life, as Jeff Buckley; he's just finishing from the Other Side. Usually looks the same as the 90's (poofed hair & all) which I love because we're the same age group & that was my heyday:-) Happy Jeff Dreams, Millicent.
DISCOGOTHTHEJAZZFAN real talent isnt as rare as you think. insecurity keeps many from reaching their talents potential or from sharing it with the world. both liz and jeffs talents are matched by the depths of theirr soul now that is rare
This song is a gem. It feels like it was never intended for public release, and I feel like I’m eavesdropping on a large secret. So much love to both Liz & Jeff.
LYRICS?? My eyes are a baptism Oh I am fuse (filth?) I'm singing into my thoughts Oh phantom elusive thing Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, here is one... Here is one Aaah La da dada... Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, here is one... Here is one Keep it going in me We could try to learn (wicked traveller?) Fading farther from me With your face in my window glow Where will you wait (weep?) for me Sweet willow It's ok to be angry But not to hurt me Your happiness, Yes, yes, yes Darling, darling, darling Oooh... All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, But here is one, But here is one... Yeah...
Chris Olson the mystery of it, the lack of closure...we’ll never truly know. It will always be painful and unresolved. But when you’re feeling down, listen to Everybody Here Wants You and be content in the knowledge that Jeff Buckley wrote and performed the perfect song. That song is perfect.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged there is a lack of closure the like of which there wouldn't be if it was an overdose, or an obvious suicide, the fact that it was to our knowledge, a natural, accidental drowning, means that we can't ever even begin to think what he was feeling or thinking in his last moments, we will always be left guessing if it was actually completely natural, if he just let go when he realized what's happening and if he could've escaped it if he tried. If it was a suicide it'd be another artist tragically driven to it by the toxic industry and the fame, or that he was so deeply depressed that he took his own life, no, we don't get that, and I'm so happy for it. It leaves us guessing, it shocks us to our cores and reminds us of the fragility of humanity, and that even perhaps the greatest voices also falter.
This is simultaneously one of the best examples of recorded music I've ever heard yet also perhaps the most depressing thing ever. Why did he have to go. Why.
Listening to this song in prison under the blankets in my cot with the volume real low so the Corrections Officer can't hear me and take my cell phone away.
I turned my kids onto Jeff from birth.. he changed my life.. I tried to change theirs.. ... Imagine my surprise when my only daughter, 15 years old ATM, played this for me one cold Alabama morning on the hour long drive to her school. Thank you Tessa and you're welcome😉 forever connected through blood and music.
This song is achingly beautiful. That flirtation of heavenly voices dancing around each other and then combining into one. Their love was brief, but you could feel the butterflies here. It stands alone as a song unfinished and beautiful as is...so intimate.
Wow. Hearing this for the first time, having been an avid Jeff & Cocteau Twins fan for as long as I could remember. God knows how I wasn't aware of this songs existence, and having read about Elizabeth's anger at it being released I feel a portion of guilt. But my oh my, isn't this the most beautiful thing? A true culmination of two people's emotions and chemistry, and how lucky are we that those two people happen to be some of the best singers ever?
she was only upset because this song was not meant to be published, it was to special... they sing about their relationship... and the result is just the most beautiful vocal duet ever... A privilage to hear...
It's one of the rare songs that formed a vigorous attachment to my ears from the first listen... It literally demolishes any feeling of emptiness and causes a surge of feelings that overwhelm me, in a good way. It feels like a slap, it makes me forget about the flatness of everyday life, and even if it's just for a couple of minutes - I exalt that sensation. Unmatched artists are spread out all over this world, each in their own corner of solitude and weirdness, weaving timeless peaces... Wish we could've had more of Jeff's woven stuff... some of us still dwell in his corner, scavenging for any uncovered thread, such as this.
I was listening to this song over and over going through such heartbreak. It’s one of those songs that I can just feel deeply in my heart that it pulls the heartstrings. The underproduction adds an authentic touch with their voices still hitting the notes together, I can feel the connection through the song. So beautiful, R.I.P Jeff Buckley, you had so much talent that still touches Hearts today.
Even in it's unfinished form, this song is absolutely beautiful. In fact Elizabeth, in it's imperfection, it is absolutely perfect. After all, an opal without imperfection is just another rock.
My eyes are A baptism Oh, I am fuse And sing her Into my thoughts Oh, phantom elusive thing Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no-one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no-one for you But here is one, but here is one... Here is one Aaah La da dada... Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no-one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no-one for you But here is one, but here is one... Keep it going in me, wicked traveller Fading farther from me With your face in my window glow Oh, Where will you weep for me? Sweet willow It's ok to be angry But not to hurt me Your happiness, Yes, yes, yes Darling, darling, darling Oooh... All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one All flowers in time bend towards the sun I know you say that there's no one for you But here is one, But here is one, But here is one...
how could she say that this song wasn't finished? when the music gets into you and suddenly makes you feel that something good is blooming inside you and gives you goosebumps, the purpose of the song is complete. This song couldn't be any more perfect to me.
Zoe Ryan I understand. Jeff sang the song i think a few times that's why I thought it was okay to be able to hear this song but you have given me a new perspective
This is the best song I've heard in years. Jeff's voice sounds so perfect, so vulnerable, so out of this world. They both complement each other flawlessly. I'm so happy that this exists.
Two velvety voices intertwine in a gentle, tender dance, evoking a sense of longing. Here I am, shedding tears caught between these two exquisite, ethereal voices. my poem to this song... And Jeff...
Elizabeth Fraser didn't think this version was ready for release, and every time I hear it, I think I'm listening in on a great secret.
Linda Hermer A secret. Exactly.
she was wrong and right at the same time
Well, she's wrong.
"Oh God!"...can hear her grangemouth accent just then at the end ❤
This is so good, I listen to it sparingly, so it stays fresh.
i was dumb and decided to listen to this in public and now Im holding in tears
😂
😢
Well you’re a sweet sweet soul
Welcome ❤
yes... same
i love seeing people continue to discover this song, each one falling in love with it just like the rest of us
Me too❤
❤
What else are we going to do? When sheer beauty is rocking….
Their voices are amazing, but that acoustic guitar playing is sublime. I assume that's Jeff.
@@peterbuchman2647 top tier playing, I’d be willing to say you are correct that it’s him.
Her laugh at the start - you just know the chemistry was there. Two of the greatest voices ever
The way their voices just dance around each other.. I've never heard two people sing with such abandon and joy and I LOVE IT
Couldn’t put it better myself.👍
It's like two caothic and unique people singing their own way through a unique song and joining one another in the middle, just like dancing
well said
Omg never knew abandon is a noun. So cool

Felt really emotional reading that
magical, dude

Karma placed me here.
That's how I feel in this very moment
It literally came out in recommendations and I was very surprised that they collaborated omg
Yep I found it randomly suggested.
absolutely
Man... I've been a massive Buckley fans for years and I'm just hearing this for the first time... It's a damn good day...

"Unfinished."
Its literally perfect.
it's done enough...
Nope.

It's extremely good but it wouldn't fit on 'My Sweetheart The Drunk' or 'Milk and Kisses' in its current state. It's still very much a demo.

All is as it should be and Jeff would laugh as he told you if he were to stand before you now.
Alcohol saw to that

I'm 23 and so grateful I found this song now, I get to enjoy it for the rest of my life
I was 23 when I discovered this song too, all because of my best friend! I'm so happy for your journey to discovering great music as the time passes
The fact that Liz was upset about this song being released,saying something to the effect of, 'why does everything have to be heard?' makes me feel guilty sometimes listening to it, like it was clearly this very personal recording, moment, song to the two of them. She also was upset it got out because she said it 'wasn't finished' which makes me think this must be like a bare bones, acoustic version of the song. All that said, it makes me tear up every time I listen and in my own selfish way, I am so grateful it did get out.
+verveine m She always thinks its shite until everyone starts screaming for the encore
***** I think she still had more work to do on it with Jeff when he was still alive. I don't know! She's the one who said it.
+verveine m Exactly of course she wasn't going to redo her parts when he died or anything she just knows they could have done it much better and this is basically a home demo. She probably also feels it is an invasion of her/their privacy because they had an affair at the time. In a way it's akin to the whole wide world listening to private unfinished recordings of you and your ex who tragically died young after the break up. I wouldn't want that either :/ anyway I've heard she warmed to the idea of it being out for us all to hear and is proud of it as she should be, so don't feel guilty. Thanks Jeff, thanks Elizabeth.
+verveine m well said, very thought-filled and compassionate. don't know the answer but perhaps because liz was such a perfectionist, or maybe cuz she has sought solitude and doesn't welcome the intrusion of critique, or maybe simply cuz she so valued her relationship both personally and professionally with buckley and for whatever reason felt compelled not to share this duet with the world. who knows? but it's a truly beautiful rendering and like so many buckley-written tunes this one's mesmerizing and agonizingly beautiful.
+John Arundell This is perfect just as it is. No redoing necessary.
It's kinda scary how Jeff had no less than absolute control over his voice. He was never "almost", he was always spot on.
3:10
You're totally right 👍
I never knew him, but I miss him...
He rest in peace and gave us his music.
Both of them!! The color and tone control!
@@jokosi absolutely nothing off.
@@iandt1367 he was a force of nature that wasn't ours to keep. I have a line that she's a whole chorus in one of my songs that was about him because he just was being interviewed by this guy that I actually had a thing for who was writing about about Grace.... I never told anybody that... Hey but the grace of God go I stealing the words out of the mouths of future ghosts..
Wirelessly... He was so unimpressed with himself... I liked that. It was inevitable that this world could not hold on to him. But I like the way you said it here. 🕳️💚
The way she hits those runs with an almost primal ferocity be bringing me to so many tears
primal ferocity is the perfect description of Liz's vocals
I was feeling the same… well said.
what a beautiful way to describe that omg, love her
Yeah
"an almost primal ferocity" do you ppl just get this maudlin phrasing shit from GPT?
it really ruins the comment section on these videos

One of the last things me and my sister did before she died was watch Jeff Buckley live vids, she sent me this song another day when I was in a bad place and it meant everything to me - miss you Rita ❤🩹
best gift ever
this song means love
unconditional
pure
infinite
human
Their voices are like warm honey and syrup melting into one another. I don’t think I’ve ever heard two voices that sounded so satisfying together in my life.
You haven’t heard me and my girlfriend. Neither of us can sing - very together..
Perfect description
It's indescribable, more tortured and yet graceful than mere honey or syrup
Completely agree. I think I've found the female match to one of the greatest male vocalists of all time.
I was feeling that, mesmerized. That doesn't happen often.
art is never truly finished
MIchael Trepp wow good one
The feeling we get from art is what finishes the whole thing
Art is only the search, it is not the final form.

Hold on!
Jeff's voice is unreal. Such a talent. To this day, his passing and Chris Cornell's was heart breaking to me. Their voices will haunt my ears forever.
Don't worry, it won't be forever. It will be just until you're dead too.
Jeff Buckley, Chris Cornell, Myles Kennedy and Conor Mason are my 4 top voices
and Kurt Cobain
The first time I heard this song I layed on the floor in my apartment and listened to it on repeat for an entire week.
Doing that right now

I always keep coming back to this video and read all the latest comments. Everyone always spreading love and making it feel like such a safe place. I love everyone’s different perspectives on this unfinished masterpiece. Personally, in some weird way I’m almost glad it’s was never complete. For me this could be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, every time I come back it just somehow feels like a secret which I’m sharing with all you beautiful people. ❤
♥️♥️
it sounds completed to me!!!
i bet it is a first or second take
its all in there
nothing missing
lifechanging
Despite Elizabeth Fraser's misgivings about this recording, I (and it seems many others) honestly feel that this is the perfect version of this song. Putting a whole bunch of production into a song like this would probably make it feel much less immediate and heartfelt.
This is old-school music making at it's best: a lightning-in-a-bottle take of a stunning song by two great artists at the height of their powers and with an obvious and strong emotional chemistry between them. You don't want to go messing too much with a piece of art that came out as perfectly formed as this did.
I just love this track to bits, and the world would be a lesser place without it.
It's a beautiful recording as is, but understandable the artist would want to fix things, e.g. Jeff's throat clearing at 2:49
I agree x
The immediacy, the capture of the emotion of the moment, the depth of feeling, all make this the only recording there should be. It is a testament to their passion and connection, that can never be surpassed. Look at the number of views, many of which are people like me who come back to it time and again for that very reason.
it stands as his and in a way the CT-era swan song.
Can someone then put here a link of the final version of the song?
This song is like a forbidden fruit, not meant to be consumed. It's so good I kind of regret I heard it, like I did't derserve to. But I also feel blessed and thankful.
I stumble upon this in the prime of my life, having recently met a very special person. And now the joy of the song and the person are forever intertwined and deeply engraved in my head.
I resonate with this comment so deeply
🙏

@@Frip36 dude i really do but i dunno how

To me, this is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded, if not the most. So raw, yet so delicate, so angry, yet so tender, so sophisticated, yet so simple. As a songwriter myself, this is the type of stuff that motivates me to work hard to improve my craft in order to create something as touching as this, yet makes me hopeless as I probably never will. It's one of those things that somehow eludes the understanding of the very creator, I mean, I don't see how someone who writes this song is even aware of what he/she's doing, and the fact that Fraser seems to be unhappy about this recording seems to prove my point. We are in desperate need of more music like this, but who really knows how to write it? What a stroke of genius and inspiration. This is magic.
Exactly
The chords are simple. The melody and singers make the song. If you can write a good melody and sing then that's the most you can ask for. The magic only happens for very few.

Never heard two more perfect voices on one track...
Well spoken and I agree Unconditionaly!
+Prophetic Rain-Maker ...agreed, how good is this?? I remember listening to Pearly dew drops in the early 80s thinking it was a perfect song! This is great! RIP Jeff, what a talented pair.
Very accurate though.
Me either, so soothing.
Prophetic Rain-Maker is
This is possibly the greatest song in existence. I don’t mean that in just a casual way. This is not just what people casually say is a masterpiece. This is human. It’s nature. It’s alive. It’s real. It’s is everything that is great. This is the voices of god, and the words of nature.
This was beautiful.
Jeff Buckley's haunting non-lyrical vocals at 3:40 are so intense. He was truly something special. A shame we lost him so young. But love this still.
If you listen closely to their whispers you can know how much they loved each other at the moment. Pure love ! How beautiful they were !
Damn, that comment just gut checked me. I miss having that level of intimacy and special bond. Only experienced with one person, but it was the best feeling I think a human can experience, enhances the rest of life too.
I'm 25 and this is the most beautiful song I've heard in my entire life thus far.

@@elizabethzank9539 same here 😀
Was literally lying here thinking this same thing. I am also 25.
Try Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thornes by Mother Love Bone. Has that same kind of magick.
@@annmarieknapp have checked it out and can confirm it's a great tune. Thanks for the tip!
My tip is Faultline by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
I always feel guilty when i listen to this masterpiece, It's like if I'm invading an intimate relationship, a secret between two lovers... when i read about how Elizabeth was upset with it release and how she repeated that its not finished it make me so sad. But at the same time, im so happy and grateful im alive and i have the privilege to listen to it. this is my treasure, my big big secret, its perfect, its divine..
So glad this didn't stay hidden. This is an absolute treasure. She should be proud of this...I think it is one of the greatest things she has recorded...and that is saying A LOT.

Welcome home.
Better late then never
Il n'est jamais trop tard pour découvrir Jeff Buckley.. 😍

The song always sounds to me like the conversation at the end of a relationship where one person's in denial on the other person is giving up. It's heart-wrenching but completely beautiful- I thank my lucky stars everyday that I stumbled upon this on accident
Beautiful comment. And fully understood. Love it
Didn't think Mulder and Scully could sing such a beautiful song.

Epic comment my friend!
Lyrics:
My eyes are
A baptism
Oh, I am fuse
And sing her
Into my thoughts
Oh, phantom elusive thing
Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one, but here is one...
Here is one

Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one, but here is one...
Keep it going in me, wicked traveller
Fading farther from me
With your face in my window glow
Oh, where will you weep for me?
Sweet willow
It's ok to be angry
But not to hurt me
Your happiness
Yes, yes, yes
Darling, darling, darling
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one

Despite Liz's thoughts about this song being out there, this song makes the world a better and more beautiful place
and that’s what matters in the end.
And we need more beauty in the world, so here it is for us to absorb into our cells. 🙂
I saw Jeff play in Austin in 94 at a record store. It's true! After the show I walked up to him and said I had never heard anyone sing like that before. His response was Really, I'm glad you liked it" Then I asked him for a hug and he did. I'm not gay or whatever. It was just the vibe and there was women everywhere and I talked to him maybe 3 or 4 minutes. Then women surrounded him and pushed me out of the way. You don't forget something like that, your whole life you don't!
I'd be happy if I saw him live and just touched him!! You were given a special treat! Be thankful for that. I wish i could have had that experience. 💚💚
Art can do that to you, sometimes. Take you to a point where words aren't enough, or even appropriate.
What a amazing story, your so lucky.
I don’t think anyone here is concerned if you are gay or not. You are human and you feel what you feel.
You’re allowed to hug a man without explaining your sexuality 😂
I can't believe I've been a fan of both singers forever, it's 2022, and I've only just found this.
Same

Ditto, and I love how I found it just as we pass the winter solstice and the sun is on its way back.

i wish this was on spotify :( this song is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard.
2:51 - 3:18 his voice here is literally perfect. Like even more than usual
I think its because the junction of these two voices makes sonic perfection
The intimacy of their angelic voices and lyrics intertwined never fails to stir up so much emotion within me. At this time of this recording, they were a couple. Knowing that Liz was devastated when this track was released without her knowledge, shows that the intimacy we hear pales in comparison to their bond. It’s like a love letter that’s revealed... so deeply personal and private. I can’t imagine the loss she felt, when we collectively lose this angel... I pray that she finds solace in the knowledge that this intimate love song has touched the soul of every listener❤️
I read stuff about them being together, but how is this possible, given that he lived in the US & she lived in the UK & had a small child at the time?
@@MissJensk1 they never dated, it was just media rumours. both jeff and liz confirmed it in 1994 interviews i think
@@sofiaolan5327 She has claimed they were together. I heard her saying it, & that he was obsessed with her. As I said though, it didn't really add up.
@@sofiaolan5327 they were together, if this song couldn't tell you that lol. more of a whirlwind like written in the stars romance(to me), but shes spoken about it & him. he toured through the uk in the early 90s too, as well as i think elizabeth did some work over here.
i can never stop listening to this song..
you shouldn't stop ! i feel you.
shit man. I am 47 and I am crying like a teenager listening to it again and again.
I'm 47 aswell and it happens the same to me.
Something about this song just is so hauntingly beautiful, it made me cry everytime.
The guitar part is very reminiscent of The Sundays. Stunning vocal performances, thank-you UA-cam algorithm!
@Nathan Livings Woah... I LOVED THE SUNDAYS. I miss them.. 'bout time I go on a journey. Thanks for the reminder❤🙌👍😍
Yes it sounds a bit like their cover of Wild Horses
We all become flowers in time.

We ARE all flowers. Just need to find the sun
There's a lot of praise for the vocals (which is warranted, the vocals by both Jeff and Liz are AMAZING) but I think the guitars in this song are absolutely sublime, and very underrated.
Jeff is really known for his voice, but he was an extremely skilled and unique guitar player who worked very hard to get there.
This was the comment I was looking for…
Absolutely, been trying to work out the chords, I’m sort of halfway there with them but it’s the rhythm which is surprisingly tricky. Such a lovely guitar player.
No doubt!
it is their song to the siren.
That sound of the guitar, dream pop or shoe gaze, so calming. I would love to know how you produce it.
It feel's like cheating, getting a glimpse of heaven before our time listening to this..
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
This song makes me nostalgic for lives I've never lived.

We probably have lived them in our past lives that's why they are so natural for us to yearn for them🌟💖💕💗✨

Same.
ive been listening to this nonstop for the last 6 hours. i cry
Heather Doman me too!!!! 😢❤️
I heard it for the first time yesterday and listened to it a few times soaking it in. I realised last night that the chorus was still in my head and I went to bed hearing it and I woke up this morning with it still playing in my head. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful piece of art.
People thought this song wasn’t as good as it could of been cause Elizabeth didn’t have her angelic Cocteau lyrics but I find this song incredibly personal as they made it with and for each other they loved each other. I love Jeff Buckleys work so sad I will never be able to see him and Elizabeth what a voice I wish this song was licensed on Spotify
A magical recording of two artists in full communion through a song. Extraordinary.
Years after he died he appeared in my dream. He said "you never really die". Then he smiled the sweetest smile. For some reason, when I woke, I was really freaked out. Maybe it was the calm matter of fact way it was said. I will never forget that dream..
I feel like everyone who discovers Jeff, ends up having a Jeff Buckley dream. I know I did.
Mikaela Argyrakis Hahah I've discovered him about a year ago and didn't have 1 until last night
Mikaela Argyrakis I wish!!!
Millicent Ingram I'm about Jeff's age and I had met him one time in Austin,Tx at an instore jam I think it was 94 or 5 and fell for Jeff instantly. I had never heard anyone sing like that before, I've dreamt about him many times, so I feel ya!
Millicent Ingram Me too, lots of "dreams" with Jeff, sometimes in spaces with others too. What's more is that he appeared when I was mourning him, over my bed, smiling - not a dream, I'd just waken up at dawn (not twilight like the pre-edit) - & many visits thereafter. He told me also that you never "die" & made it VERY clear that he is Not a "ghost". Ghosts are stuck between worlds, Jeff is not stuck anywhere. He is still involved in his life, as Jeff Buckley; he's just finishing from the Other Side. Usually looks the same as the 90's (poofed hair & all) which I love because we're the same age group & that was my heyday:-) Happy Jeff Dreams, Millicent.
Lesson: real talent is rare, precious, inspiring...
So so TRUE!
DISCOGOTHTHEJAZZFAN agree.
DISCOGOTHTHEJAZZFAN real talent isnt as rare as you think. insecurity keeps many from reaching their talents potential or from sharing it with the world. both liz and jeffs talents are matched by the depths of theirr soul now that is rare
There's a whole lot of talent going to waste today due to how vile the industry is and how oblivious the public is to those hidden gems
there's no way i can ever stop gatekeeping this song
This song is a gem. It feels like it was never intended for public release, and I feel like I’m eavesdropping on a large secret. So much love to both Liz & Jeff.

Seem like odd things to say, but sound pretty legit... thanks for bothering haha
i think Liz's only singing placeholder syllables of sorts, perhaps lyrics weren't written yet
Krista Gemini thank you..
That was actually her style of singing, just listen to some Cocteau Twins. Glossolalia I believe it's called.
beelzebozos Definitely! she has a unique style and a unique voice.
This song makes me feel things that I can't explain
eso hace conmigo Liz, me hace sentir cosas que no sé qué son y que no puedo explicar
This is the best “unfinished” song i’ve ever probably heard.
I saw him perform live in Paradiso Amsterdam. It was amazing. It was a birthday gift from my girlfriend at the time. Best gift ever.
I've never completely gotten over being angry and hurt over Jeff's death.
Chris Olson the mystery of it, the lack of closure...we’ll never truly know. It will always be painful and unresolved. But when you’re feeling down, listen to Everybody Here Wants You and be content in the knowledge that Jeff Buckley wrote and performed the perfect song. That song is perfect.
@@Featherpen0517 Nothing will ever top Mojo Pin
No, me neither. In fact I did a double take at your comment to see if I’d left it myself years ago and forgotten
@Melanie mystery, lack of closure? There's neither. He went into a river fully clothed, barge came by, dragged him under and he drowned.
@@sarcasticallyrearranged there is a lack of closure the like of which there wouldn't be if it was an overdose, or an obvious suicide, the fact that it was to our knowledge, a natural, accidental drowning, means that we can't ever even begin to think what he was feeling or thinking in his last moments, we will always be left guessing if it was actually completely natural, if he just let go when he realized what's happening and if he could've escaped it if he tried. If it was a suicide it'd be another artist tragically driven to it by the toxic industry and the fame, or that he was so deeply depressed that he took his own life, no, we don't get that, and I'm so happy for it. It leaves us guessing, it shocks us to our cores and reminds us of the fragility of humanity, and that even perhaps the greatest voices also falter.
This is simultaneously one of the best examples of recorded music I've ever heard yet also perhaps the most depressing thing ever.
Why did he have to go. Why.

Imagine my surprise when my only daughter, 15 years old ATM, played this for me one cold Alabama morning on the hour long drive to her school.
Thank you Tessa and you're welcome😉 forever connected through blood and music.
It takes you an hour to drive to school?
This song is achingly beautiful. That flirtation of heavenly voices dancing around each other and then combining into one. Their love was brief, but you could feel the butterflies here. It stands alone as a song unfinished and beautiful as is...so intimate.
Wow. Hearing this for the first time, having been an avid Jeff & Cocteau Twins fan for as long as I could remember. God knows how I wasn't aware of this songs existence, and having read about Elizabeth's anger at it being released I feel a portion of guilt. But my oh my, isn't this the most beautiful thing? A true culmination of two people's emotions and chemistry, and how lucky are we that those two people happen to be some of the best singers ever?
KINDER i had the same reaction ua-cam.com/video/fb8B6JPfRwo/v-deo.html
just found it - lover o both - class - onwards and upwards if e can - love and peace
She was mad about the release?! Why!? Please link info. This song rules.
Yeah... The fact that Ms. Fraser didn't even want all of us Great Unwashed to hear this... The selfishness of it all, just makes my brain whirl.
I love treasures hiding.
oh. this makes my heart swell. I can't tell if it hurts or it's full of joy.
well put.Not much makes you feel these days :)
gatogreensleeves Joy Brother
Beautiful words brother.
yesss thank you for putting it into words.
Both
she was only upset because this song was not meant to be published, it was to special... they sing about their relationship... and the result is just the most beautiful vocal duet ever... A privilage to hear...
Possibly the most beautiful and tender track of all time.
It's one of the rare songs that formed a vigorous attachment to my ears from the first listen... It literally demolishes any feeling of emptiness and causes a surge of feelings that overwhelm me, in a good way. It feels like a slap, it makes me forget about the flatness of everyday life, and even if it's just for a couple of minutes - I exalt that sensation.
Unmatched artists are spread out all over this world, each in their own corner of solitude and weirdness, weaving timeless peaces...
Wish we could've had more of Jeff's woven stuff... some of us still dwell in his corner, scavenging for any uncovered thread, such as this.
So sad Jeff died so young, Jeff and Liz could have made many great music together.
absolutely. i wonder if she would've kept making music too if he hadn't left us, it's so sad.
She did
They had apparently lost contact with each other before he died.
His girlfriend when he died was Joan Wasser from "Joan as Police Woman". He def. had good taste in women, both amazing artists.
Fuck yes 💓
I’m in awe. I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again.
I was listening to this song over and over going through such heartbreak. It’s one of those songs that I can just feel deeply in my heart that it pulls the heartstrings. The underproduction adds an authentic touch with their voices still hitting the notes together, I can feel the connection through the song. So beautiful, R.I.P Jeff Buckley, you had so much talent that still touches Hearts today.
i'm cured and my acne is gone.
I'm really happy for you.
ialisson araujo don't jinx it boy!

Even in it's unfinished form, this song is absolutely beautiful. In fact Elizabeth, in it's imperfection, it is absolutely perfect. After all, an opal without imperfection is just another rock.
My eyes are
A baptism
Oh, I am fuse
And sing her
Into my thoughts
Oh, phantom elusive thing
Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one, but here is one...
Here is one
Aaah
La da dada...
Oh, all flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no-one for you
But here is one, but here is one...
Keep it going in me, wicked traveller
Fading farther from me
With your face in my window glow
Oh, Where will you weep for me?
Sweet willow
It's ok to be angry
But not to hurt me
Your happiness,
Yes, yes, yes
Darling, darling, darling
Oooh...
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one
All flowers in time bend towards the sun
I know you say that there's no one for you
But here is one,
But here is one,
But here is one...
I keep coming back once in a while just to feel a little something
how could she say that this song wasn't finished? when the music gets into you and suddenly makes you feel that something good is blooming inside you and gives you goosebumps, the purpose of the song is complete. This song couldn't be any more perfect to me.
EightAndAHalf1 i have one
EightAndAHalf1 oi settle petal
Zoe Ryan I understand. Jeff sang the song i think a few times that's why I thought it was okay to be able to hear this song but you have given me a new perspective
+Zoe Ryan I agree. It's like everyone reading your diary. You can tell they were dealing with some personal stuff between them.
+EightAndAHalf1 Next year will you be 9 and a 1/2?
This is the best song I've heard in years. Jeff's voice sounds so perfect, so vulnerable, so out of this world. They both complement each other flawlessly. I'm so happy that this exists.
Two velvety voices intertwine in a gentle,
tender dance, evoking a sense of longing.
Here I am, shedding tears
caught between these two exquisite, ethereal voices.
my poem to this song...
And Jeff...
Greatest duet in music history...
