Jeff Buckley - Everyday People Lyrics

<{}> Thank Youuu! Love Grace

scooby scooby dooby

Impossible to categorize this guy, I was thinking for a second blue eyed soul but he's so much more than that. He transcends genre.

it is beautiful

Al que le gusta mucho Buckley es que sabe reconocer una obra de arte cuando la ve

havent listened to jeff in awhile, really enjoying him even more rn

So who is profiting from this? That’s what I would like to know.
He can’t, very unfortunately, so why isn’t his music free access?? I even had to watch a fucking commercial to hear this. He’d hate it.

When you sign with a production company, they have the rights to your music. That's how it works most of the time.

He looks like James Franco

Absolute hero, absolute legend

He took a song I thought was alright, and made it into something spectacular.
Meh, was just another average day in Jeff Buckleys world. :)
To think this was just him messing about with something between takes for stuff he actually wanted to put on his album.

Mojo Reanimated I know this was just a stuff around and not finished, pft what would he want to change to this, superb and beautiful recording

fffffffff

o Jeff morreu?

Sim, na década de 90 ainda!!

irineol fggf sim, ele se afogou no dia 29 de maio de 1997 no canal do rio Wolf do rio Mississippi, em Memphis

Aw....so lovely...

The new release You and I is simply beautiful.

Sly And The Family Stone - Everyday People.

Having lived under the image of a genius like his dad was/is must have been pretty frustrating .

Also... I'm sure some peeps are gonna say that these are only 1 take demos & "What No Production Values?!?" but something is lost in that process, the finesse gets buried...Audio Verite as R. Fripp used to say.

Still the best simple description of J. Buckley for the uninitiated is- imagine Page and Plant in one body.Much more talent than most and a work/play ethic that took it way out... simply amazing .And then he goes swimmin' w/ his boots on... Yikes...I mean  wow.

Like a lot of people i suffer Anxiety Disorder, and one of the things that soothes my soul is jeff's voice. It brings me safety. My safe heaven.

Weep G. same ❤️😇

I hear you! Another great remedy of sound is:
JJ Grey & Mofro, listen to this and heal.
Peace.

Same! he also soothes me when I am sad or upset. he is an angel for me.

If only this man was still alive ....

The Buckley's have cousins but yeah, I agree..

I have this song on a tiny blue record :)

I feel like he could've united the whole damn world with his music if he was around longer. this song is so inspiring

I'm in Heaven

Along with this release, the fact that they discovered hours of unreleased material from the sessions gives me hope for mankind.

Gorgeous....thank-u for the music beautiful angel! <3 x

if you like this please check out buckley live at sin-e

my tears are dropping when i hear him,angel

SCOOBY DOBY DOO!!!

Romarina
Dooby. 😏

A real magician. Just like every other recording of him... Every strum chug, and breath.. All magic

What an outstandingly talented man. Rest in peace, Jeff. You left much too early.

Always great Jeff. Thanks for the post! A treasure!

Everyday, people are realizing what a major talent Jeff Buckley possessed.

It's unbelievable how this differs from Grace. As if the pressure for a follow up was gone and made way to just play. That same spirit of live at Sin-é is dancing on this track and I'm happy.

I know a life is more important than anything but I can't help but feel bummed out when I think about all the Jeff Buckley albums we missed out on with his untimely passing. Truly one of the most unique talents to come around.

Before I realised, the tears were rolling down my cheeks...

We all love you Jeff

I also was not ready for how great this was .

I saw him for the first time at Uncommon Ground in Chicago. He was touring around with just his Telecaster, preparing for the release of "Grace". He played in front of a pastry case. Standing room only. During intermission I took a bathroom break. When I got out, next in line was Jeff. "How's it goin?"...The truth. I don't care what anyone says, contemporary music has never been the same and will never be the same without him. And it really hasn't gone too far since 1997. There's been only a Few exceptions.

By the way, this song is quite appropriate in the midst of the hate that Donald Trump has been spewing. I don't wanna make a Jeff Buckley video political, but, I couldn't help but make that connection.

...the long hair who wont accept the short hair for being such a rich one who will not help the poor one🎵🎵

lord wanted him away from this Earth. However much we miss him His time is more important...who knows, he could of turned out like a grumpy old man.

This quality is exceptional

Christmas came early!!!!   Thanks for uploading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just sitting here with a smile on my face soaking this in...
I'm In a great mood now...

Just cannot wait for the new release

I was not really surprised to hear him cover Piaf or the Smiths, but Sly and the family Stone... This is incredible!

Excelente realmente... desde que lo escuche quede pegada con sus canciones...Lo amo♥♥♥ Casi se me salen las lagrimas : (

only thing worth getting this rsd, god it's almost surreal hearing something new from jeff

Scoobydoobeedoobee...just amazing!!!

GREATEST OF ALL TIME.


apparently he is still releasing new songs despite the notable handicap of being dead!

+Miguel Elgueta Funny but these are just unreleased songs and demos

Tupac set the bar pretty high though

Fuck, but I miss this man.

Venezia Fanner we all do, beautiful soul gone too soon

man, i can just imagine this song being used for a montage of everyday people, doing everyday things

Thank you very very much! I'm crying.

releasing songs from the grave boyss

can't find chords. anyone help

o m g this is amazing :D <3 <3

what a beautiful man....I miss him so....

just fell in love with Jeff all over again

this !!!
my heart just shed a tear because I just gotta wait to hear him jam on the other side.

mt god, this is a incredible version. I love his voice and the sound is so blues

Happy birthday Jeff. :(

beautiful!

I love the "Watch out." @ 2:23.
This guy did it right. Always.

scoobydobedoo

Thank you so much. Glad you found this and shared it with us!
Gosh I didn't know I could love him anymore than I already did. He was so lively in this!

"We got to live together." Forever Together. <3

with the events in paris, the song is good

Sly Stone would be very proud of what Buckley did, if there was a version of Time For Livin done by Buckley I want to hear it!

I'd kill a baby deer with my bare hands to hear that.

For about four and a half minutes, it feels like he's alive again. Damn.

@drivethrupoet yep, long time. Always sending this man's music to younger people to keep it alive. (I mean, it's all pretty immortal anyway, but ya know...) 

+Cloudy Captions ö
He accidentally drowned taking a swim in a river. Got pulled under by the wake of a passing boat and knowing him, he was probably in boots at the time. It was really sad :(

best comment ever! yes, it is true

I still mourn every time. Yet rejoice in his voice. And, remember where I was when the news broke of his death. Ouch. Heartache.

You know what they say folks. Good music, is timeless. But Jeff's probably more so than others. ;)

Angels in heaven...
thank you
#earworm

this is so awesome, glad to hear some new stuff. I thought his mother said they had released everything?

I dreamed of the release of these Abbaddo sessions and here some songs are arriving soon ... miracles happen

Was not expecting this at all, I'm hooked :D

I wanna hear a better version of You and I (guitar version)

NEW.... BUCKLEY MATERIAL. NOT "NEW" BUT UNRELEASED. I'M IN A DREAM. A FUCKING GREAT DREAM

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fanboying out a little too hard. Fuck it no I'm not!

OOOHHHHHHHHHHH MY FUUCKIIIIIIINGGGGG GOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff Buckley VIVE! LIVE!

He'd be horrified about the Bataclan.

Im french, and with recents events in Paris, I find this song very accurate...peace.

OH MY GFPD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD FOUR YEARS FOUR YESRS OF MY KIFE DEDICATED TO HIM ANS MOW THIS I GRT THID OH MY GOD OH MY GODJ FUCK FUCK FUCKT FUCK

Brilliant. Can't wait for the whole album to be released in March.

I was not prepared for this.

+John Arundell Ah, okay. Yes, it does make more sense. Sorry if there was any confusion!

@aronora I know young people are the future of course! Your mum is a good example that Jeff wasn't really very well known (not hugely famous) right around the world when he was recording and touring for the few years of his career that he was so active and prolific. He was a big star in some places like France and Australia which is where I saw him in one of his last proper concerts in February1996 and parts of USA, Europe and Japan but that's all. He was a bit under the radar just doing his thing with full commitment obviously and without compromise. Artists of the highest quality always stand the test of time so Jeff will never be forgotten forever now :) hopefully more high quality live performances will be released yet because this new album would have to be about it from the vaults insofar as studio recordings go.

+John Arundell I think it would be fair to say many have heard his rendition of Leonard's song whether it be because it was featured in a film or show. He's most known for Hallelujah too, to the degree that people confuse it for being one of his own. You don't need to tell me about him though :) I've done my research and learned a lot after discovering Buckley. Yet I must admit it's definitely cool to talk to someone who's seen him live

+John Arundell it might be interesting for you guys to know that his song 'Grace' has actually been on the GCSE music course for a little while which meant loads of people my age discovered him and learnt a lot about him and his style. I know loads of people in my class including me became obsessed with his music :D

God with a guitar in hand

Song out of his tomb, thanks god thanks jeff !!

♡ this

Everytime I hear this man sing something inside me dies. He makes me feel out of this world for a moment. My favorite of his works is "lover you should have come over" it's so overwhelming that I have to pause the song and come back later to listen to it again. I wish he was alive. I hope he is happy where he is.

Lovely comment, exactly how I feel!

This is very, very cool!!! But, it just reminds us of how bad a mfka Sly Stone really, really, really was/is.

beautiful like everything he did

I've missed that voice

Just leaves you wanting more, really...

Awesome :)

I love this sfm! Can't wait to hear the rest !!!!

Seems so strange to hear this version when I am still full of the original. Hallelujah is my favorite by Jeff.

😪😪❤️❤️❤️ You live on, in our hearts Jeff.

Excelente cover, con un toque muy característico de Jeff.

Does he says Scooby doby doo? xD xD

yep lol

Don't see any mention of this being a SLY and the Family Stone cover

+RobbieGnr1 I know man im with you and I love the original but please take into consideration that this was probably Jeff having a beer and playing a few covers for the laugh with no intention of it ever being heard outside that room but just appreciate the sheer beauty of Jeff's voice and the absolute haunting presence that hearing something previously unheard from the dude has on people
R.I.P Jeff

+lastofus mcgill Apparently a few of these covers that are due to be released in March '16 were initially recorded for sending onto producers as a kind of outline for how he wanted some of his own material to sound on "Grace".

+RobbieGnr1 It may have not been mentioned on here, but I'm assuming a good amount of people coming here heard of the news based off of reports that an album was being released, and each report I read said the songs were "covers" minus his own.

It breaks my heart to even think I will never see Jeff live. He was an amazing artist and a beautiful, beautiful soul. It is rather unfair that I don't even get the chance to meet the person who changed me in so many different ways. I feel like crying any time I think about this. I truly admire and appreciate the fact that someone like him ever existed. I am just unfortunate that that someone died exactly the year I was born. It is kind of funny how ironic, cruel and amazing life can be.

+Savannah L he died the day before I was born

I was so lucky to meet him and he was special. I believe his spirit lives on through his music and the people who love his music. He was an amazing soul and wrote the most amazing thing to me before playing in our studio. I'll never forget how beautiful he was inside and out and how he gave all of that to his music and was still a fun, funny person, not taking himself too seriously despite the depth of his art.

+lizmies12 aw i kinda want to ask u more about what he was like..what a pleasure lucky u :). he will live on as long as his music and works are loved and appreciated

lizmies12 I really would like to talk to you about your experience with Jeff. i met a woman who saw him in 1996 in Melbourne. i will never have enough of Jeff. Forever grateful for his music!!

mariiacafe art can do that

"I....I...." and my hairs all instantly stand on end.

+Jon Gomm You should do your own version of one of Jeff's songs sometime, that would be amazing!
