As usual, I was surfing videos, and I stumbled across this. Pretty powerful stuff. Hard to believe he died young :(

I do love this song. It's a very powerful song, to me. Nostalgic too since I used to listen and sing it all the time.

Ah yes, Jeff Buckley. I had to study "Grace" for school, and found this cover through that. It is a shame he didn't live to finish his second album.

His version of this song is so powerful. I can't even describe what I feel when I hear it. You can feel the passion, it's beautiful.

That's sad that he died so young.

I still prefer Bon Jovi's version of that song though.

I'm listening to that version now. It is pretty good also.

Mmmm Jeff Buckley's voice is so amazingly strange. Goes great with this song.

For the record, the music video version (as in the first one that pops up on youtube when you search for it) is my least favorite of Bon Jovi's performances of the song. I heard them play it live a few years ago and it blew that one out of the water.

Also, Leonard Cohen himself has said that he prefers Bon Jovi's version to anyone else's.

For Music GCSE, We had to study Grace by Jeff Buckley, which is also quite a moving song. Don't get me wrong though I like Hallelujah too, but his teeth are quite displeasing.

I don't know who he was, but he had a beautiful voice. Perfection.

Just makes it that much more special to know this song is purely about fucking.

Died whilst swimming clothed. Sad.

And apparently wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Just high on life. :(

Beautiful song. He was run over by a boat, if I remember correctly.
