Jeff Buckley for Xmas Number One

[isitme]

best song ever

 

[isitme]

it really is

 

[isitme]

With eyes so dilated
I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything
Without a poison apple
The water is so yellow
I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful
Vacuum out the fluids

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins
I'm like you

it is a great song youre not wrong

 

[isitme]

everyting else ever is just inferior imo

i mean keep writing songs by all means, and i hope someone does manage to make a song about being doomed by becoming more than a cell as good as that. but that is gonna take some work to beat

startin 2009 early ?

i mean keep writing songs by all means, and i hope someone does manage to make a song about being doomed by becoming more than a cell as good as that. but that is gonna take some work to beat

but yeah it is good, i dont see it being topped in that category. The 'songs about cells' one.

 

[isitme]

startin 1994 early ?

yeah. i think nirvana have still got a couple of decent albums in them.

 

[Fez909]

My favourite versions are:

1. Diana Vickers
2. Jeff Buckley
3. Alexandra Burke
4. Cohen



Would have been hilarious if they released all 4 X Factor finalist's versions for Christmas. Urban would implode!

 

[DotCommunist]

you fearless iconclast

 

[nick h.]

Stop this silly Cohen worship. There's plenty of covers out there better than the original. Like this Des'ree number: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=193994869

 

[AverageJoe]

Jeff Buckley is 33/1 for xmas number one with Paddy Power.....

Jeff Buckley is 33/1 for xmas number one with Paddy Power.....

That's got to be worth a flutter. I'm seeing the Buckley campaign in a new light...

 

[AverageJoe]

indeeeeed

 

[DotCommunist]

you never know, that depressing as fuck cover tune from Donnie Darko aced it one year.

Sure that sent a few lonely souls over the edge that year actually.

 

[AverageJoe]

And now they are 14/1 !!!! Number 4 in the download charts

 

[AverageJoe]

And now its 9/2!!! Jeez

?????

well i was looking for the audio, those don't work.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

I think he'd be less revered if he was still alive producing yet more shit records.

If Jeff Buckley had lived
And his voice still was heard
On the weak second album
And difficult third
Then the critics, who broke him,
He couldn't forgive -
Would grow old and forget him
If Jeff Buckley had lived

 

[MightyAphrodite]

well i was looking for the audio, those don't work.

you want the audio then?

im well confused now.

 

[Geri]

Would have been hilarious if they released all 4 X Factor finalist's versions for Christmas. Urban would implode!

There were only three finalists.

 

[Fez909]

There were only three finalists.

Technically, yeah. But they called anyone who was into the final 12 a finalist. And of those, 4 recorded the song.

That's what I meant!

you know your Hallelujahs?

I got all of them right and I didn't even listen to some of them!

 

[Flashman]

If Jeff Buckley had lived
And his voice still was heard
On the weak second album
And difficult third
Then the critics, who broke him,
He couldn't forgive -
Would grow old and forget him
If Jeff Buckley had lived

Like it

 

[aylee]

Yep.

histrionic, overwrought vowel strangling wank. Like Buckley's entire output. In the world of over-rated cunts, Buckley may just be the cuntiest

[puts on Dream Brother and sighs]

 

[boing!]

I stuck on Grace on my way to work this morning inspired by all of this and I still love it. Sometimes histrionic, overwrought vowel strangling wank is just what I want to listen to...

Yes, I feel that is sometimes the case.
Another one in that category is Nick Drake imo.

 

[cliche guevara]

Whoops.

 

[electrogirl]

I think his voice is what makes it tbh, some of the songs on Grace are actually quite boring but his voice makes them special.

 

[danny la rouge]

Personally, I find his voice makes me want to vomit. But each to their own.
