One of my ALL-TIME favorite records, Jeff Buckley's Grace is the epitome of what I love about music and lyrics, HANDS DOWN. Another artist gone too soon, this record is the only complete studio album by Jeff Buckley. Let me start by saying when I first heard this record, I swear I had it on repeat for months. When I make mix CDs for my car, I always date them and I know between 2002 - 2004, Jeff Buckley's music was definitely on heavy rotation. For that long until today, I've always been in love with his voice and his music. Lover, You Should've Come Over, I think is what did me in. How can a voice so angelic and so peaceful be so mesmerizing? Not only that, Grace, Last Goodbye and Eternal Life round up more of my favorite songs. A little quote about Eternal Life that I absolutely love, "This is a song about...this is an angry song. Life's too short and too complicated for people behind desks and people making masks to ruin other people's lives, initiating force against other people's lives, on the basis of their income, their color, their class, their religious beliefs, their whatever..." If that isn't the truth for you, than I don't know what to say. A man who speaks his mind through his heart and his music definitely reflects that.
Enjoy!
