Jeff Buckley – Grace
I’m not sure why it’s taken me this long to mention Jeff Buckley’s Grace, since it’s one of my favorite albums ever.
Released on August 23, 1994, this was Jeff Buckley’s first and last complete studio album. In 2004, a Legacy edition was released, which includes the long sought after “Forget Her”
At some point you’ve probably heard his cover of “Hallelujah” While it’s a great track, Grace has so much more to offer.
“Lover, You Should Have Come Over” is probably one of the best songs ever written. The lyrics and passion stay with you, like a ”tear that hangs inside my soul forever”. “Eternal Life” is an all out rocker that denounces violence and hatred. Then there are the beautiful and earthy tracks, like “Mojo Pin” and “Dream Brother”. “Grace” and “Last Goodbye” are just as impressive, which make heartache and mortality seem so lovely.
Simply put, Grace is a unique and beautiful album that touches every part of your soul. There has never been someone like Jeff Buckley and there never will be again. If you don’t have this album, then you’re missing out on one of the greatest musical experiences in your life.
“So Real”
