Jeff Buckley - I Shall Be Released Lyrics






They say everything can be replaced,
Yet every distance is not near.
So i remember every face
Of every man who put me here.

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

They say every man needs protection,
They say every man must fall.
Yet i swear i see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

Jeff Buckley I Shall Be Released Comments
  1. M.... M....

  2. A.... J....

    incredible.

  3. f.... r....

    fucking like!!

  4. J.... C....

    Jeff was a precursor to John Mayer, only much better singer obviously

  5. J.... C....

    Instant like at the first notes on the guitar

  6. j.... W....

    Talking of the relationship between China and Hong Kong, Lee Hin Lung mentions that China is always supporting Hong Kong people in the blue state. So that the Hong Kong people can achieve their spectacular dream of buying and eating 我要發達真意思. Also, Hong Kong has gone through many times of failure. But China just helps Hong Kong to come over it. There has been intense change in the minds of Hong Kong people with the love and help of China. China has done so perfectly in the soft touch of love, to stand by Hong Kong. Some Hong Kong people just want universal suffrage that is suffering from rage from nothing or stupidity.
    00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    Hong Kong people now know that China communism is not hurting kind. But China is of love and communication, so help for each other is achieved. This is the success of communication. In communication, a weak and little girl can be taught to perfection, confidence and strong girl in power. Communication is not just putting on or not putting the heart. In truth communication or communism is seeking the answer, which is a true contribution to society 社會. So that the people will do and will initiate many things to happen. All the people need is love and communication. Then people want to produce out hard and complex thing in technology and find out the truth in science. Power will come to the people, if the loved people are kind to share all the world and the loved people can have the brotherhood of man. That is revolution from people to mankind. Will people do it and change themselves? That is the realm of communism really. The answer is yes, time is changing. Only change will lead to yer from the blues, that is yes or communism or communication. Putting the heart is just not solution to the problem of people 's raw heart, which is like strawberry fields forever.

    00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    Hong Kong democratic party is just the main cause of all these riots and bloody violence in Hong Kong society because all through these years, last 20 years, Hong Kong democratic party continuously advocate that poison and illusion namely democrazy game of general election such as district council election, and Hong Kong democratic party and Hong Kong civics put down China communism. That is why Hong Kong people are so confused without communication or without communism as communication is put down. Hong Kong people are filled with hatred and animosity, just the bag which is so bad, because of misunderstanding of each other and confusion. Hong Kong small students are incited by those cunning Hong Kong teachers from Hong Kong teacher association So Hong Kong people turn to be violent and bloody, saying they need to be crazy by holding the yellow umbrella without build-up, yellow umbrella means wasting life away, which is just the ignorance and vacuity and illness without booking for communication. Some Hong Kong young students who read the books in secondary school claim that they want to have the new of the well or the news of the cup, because they just memorize, so they are just very much like the slavery in bagism. So they follow the bully with elephant 像 memory only. Can the bag become positive? Bag itself just means confusion like a baby who never want revolution but baby suffer from rage, that is the twist, so bag carried by baby or memory like a baby is never positive. Bag is just inept and incapable.

    0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    The Hong Kong people are not over and they are not creative, but just get the bag. They just get to be good only and get to be unsure. They don't do anything at all, but they are very active. So they are hard to see, how can they oversee the truth those bullies are wicked and crazy if they are not out there? Just when the Hong Kong students can have communication such as discussion with the teachers, they will do the man and they will be over creative and take their points of view. With silence and without examination, there can be never creation except only memory and remebrance, bad bag is put up, that is putting the heart 放心. If you do not do over the bag, how can you truly know your bag? As bag is full, that is you are full like a fool, so you cannot put anything more in the bag, that is you no longer put your heart! After all, bag is down in the city of scenario, by forgetting, fight, animosity (animal just like angel baby in lovely feeling, has bag only) and violence must happen in bagism, like the powerless but loved animals who are nothing to kill, that is just the Hong Kong riot dealers namely bully of the city. They love Hong Kong vanity stars namely Koo Kui Gate or Koo Tin Lok, or Wong Ka Kui, (these 3 guys may know something). That is just democrazy definition. 自古以來, 民是以食為天, 即民只有能力ability of people像動物求食,為食, 暴力打交會發生, 關係民主(民迷信主是完美無罪). 但這可改變嗎?香港兒童, 甚麼是革命 一 Revolution A? What is love? Love is feeling, revolution is power.

    0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

  7. J.... W....

    A version so good it's better than the original. Sorry Bob 🙊

    J.... W....

    Oh hey! Nice to see you here lol

  8. M.... A....

    ❤❤❤

  9. B.... D....

    The only thing worse than death is pain. I hope you have found peace. Rest In Peace legend

  10. S.... ....

    His voice has an almost haunting quality to it. I have never felt more touched by a voice.

  11. D.... ....

    Jeff is right up there with the very best Guitarist ever and he is in an exclusive best of Dead guitarist with Stevie Ray Vaughan Jeff Healey Jimi Hendrix Albert Collins just to mention a few

  12. P.... ....

    A memory of Janice Joplin sing this number appeared. I saw Jeff Buckley playing at Bristol Uni, his voice and range were supreme. But there was hardly any audience there. I remember thinking, why isn't this room full of students? Maybe it takes people years, or a death, to recognise his vocal brilliance? I was lucky to see him singing live.

  13. l.... s....

    Would give anything to go back in time to see his performances @ Live at Sin-e

  14. l.... g....

    a song to heal more than a young broken hearth...

  15. G.... ....

    Una de las tantas cosas que hacían a Jeff excepcional era la naturalidad y lo relajado que alcanzaba la perfección vocal. No es forzado, no es fingido, no es presumido, no es soberbio. Es espectacular pero sutil. Muchos cantantes para hacer esta canción estarían trabajando a nivel técnico, estresados. Jeff simplemente se dejaba llevar por la pasión y sólo cantaba a lo que salía. Claro, ya quisiera yo tener una voz con la que sin esfuerzo fuera tan espectacular. Es tan triste que este talento no haya podido seguir...

  16. M.... D....

    Hit those notes .... perfect rendition

  17. N.... R....

    Fuck you depression, I shall be released

  18. B.... B....

    One of my favorite song and Jeff sang it with so much passion 🌹 R.I.P. Jeff We lost a talented young beautiful man with a amazing voice.

  19. D.... J....

    Linda linda linda amoooooo

  20. C.... D....

    Soul Brother~

  22. N.... H....

    They say everything can be replaced
    They say every distance is not near
    So I remember every face
    Of every man who put me here
    I see my light come shinin'
    From the west down to the east
    Any day now, any day now
    I shall be released
    They say ev'ry man needs protection
    They say that every man must fall
    But I swear I see my reflection
    Somewhere so high above this wall
    I see my light come shinin'
    From the west down to the east
    Any day now, any day now
    I shall be released
    Down here in this lonely crowd
    There's a man who swears he's not to blame
    All day long I hear him shouting
    So loud just crying out that he's been framed
    I see my light come shinin'
    From the west down to the east
    Any day now, any day now
    I shall be released

  36. h.... ....

    God damn he was such a perfect performer. His incredible mastery of the guitar so perfectly compliments his astounding voice.

  37. L.... H....

  43. a.... ....

    Im pretty sure i can hear ben harpers - diamond on the inside in this song - maybe the idea came from this song ?

  44. K.... N....

    I think I need a box of tissues.......

  45. b.... ....

  48. J.... K....

    Just when I'd thought that this anthem couldn't have gotten better.....

  49. T.... V....

    Jeff Buckley with an awesome Dylan cover!

  50. J.... S....

    I love Jeff he is a genius but with respect I still cry with the original and prefer, Richard Manuel is up there in the greatest all-time singers with Buckley.

  51. E.... F....

    Buckleys intonation, inflections, interpretations are uniquely wonderful.

  52. C.... Q....

    jeff ❤️

  53. F.... C....

    Merveilleux.. Me too, every note into my heart ! <3

  54. R.... F....

    dig. devil eyes....his dad.Timbuckley.........tufff..

  55. R.... F....

    voice. he got......hear his dad...if ya dig.......

  56. M.... ....

    A voice like no other. A voice filled with so much emotion and sadly with so much untouched potential. Though, his talent didn't reach a commercial success, those that listen has the pleasure to hear greatness in its raw form.

  57. C.... M....

    Such an ethereal voice.

  58. J.... X....

    Jeff was a transformative singer, but he doesn't do this song justice at all. It's just not what the song is about, or the ache held in the lyrics.

  59. R.... S....

    This is one of the songs that exemplifies the great vocal talent, and yes POTENTIAL(much as i HATE that word) that those who are music connoisseurs, such as myself will always recognize.

  60. J.... S....

    It's not about what notes you heat, it's about the emotion you own and deliver. I wish more so-called singers listened to Jeff, to understand what music is all about.

  61. M.... B....

    He sing with his soul - a real artist. Great cover

  62. A.... N....

    Thank's you tube ...you take my heart...❤💔29-1-2017ASh.

  63. S.... ....

    Gone way too soon

  64. I.... W....

  65. j.... ....

    Jeff Buckley breaks your heart with this much the way
    he does with his definitive version of "Hallelujah."

  66. K.... L....

    tu voz y tu música me enamora jeff, siempre u.u

  67. A.... 1....

    Not bad

  68. A.... N....

    Beautiful father and son but tragic mysteri dead's ....I am sorry...

  69. H.... ....

    beautiful

  70. D.... G....

    This is a gorgeous version of one of my all-time favorite songs. Any idea what type of rig Jeff was using here? The way he pulls certain tones out of his axe and his voice is just magic.

    D.... G....

    David Greenspoon as far as I'm aware it really wasn't anything special. Just an average amp with an FX rack.

    D.... G....

    that 83 tele has a beautiful tone

  71. C.... ....

    from markham ont Canada.

    this is everything.

  72. B.... L....

    with all due respect to Bob Dylan who i deeply respect and love, Jeff captured in his voice the holiness of the song and i cant think of a better version of this song

    B.... L....

    Bob Dylan was never about the voice.

    B.... L....

    I can...Gram parsons....

    B.... L....

    I can, Hadewych Minis, check it out.

    B.... L....

    The is 2nd best to me, the band is first.

  73. f.... s....

    Beautiful cover

  74. t.... ....

    it hurts to listen. bless

  75. J.... P....

    You are the best I've heard so far!!

  76. A.... L....

    Damn, some awesome guitarplaying goin on here!

  77. A.... H....

    missing my dad.....

    A.... H....

    i miss Jeff Buckley's dad, too.

  78. m.... w....

    He has the most beautiful voice.

  79. D.... C....

    this voice is more than amazing. I miss this man 😢😢

  80. N.... S....

    This is a second song that he did which Nina also did, I like both artist's interpretation

  81. M.... R....

    Vai Cecco!
    Bob Dylan arrivò a dire: «È il più grande di questo decennio.»
    Bob Dylan came to say: «It is the largest of this decade.»

  82. S.... T....

    Each interpretation of a song adds something to the song; a part of the artist's individuality. One version doesn't detract from another, it adds to the experience of the song. The possible exception to this is ritual mutilation of "Stairway to Heaven" to include a wobble board, but the less said about that one the better.

  83. M.... M....

    Thanks YouTube for remembering
    past artists such as Jeff Buckely
    and Marc Cohen to name a few.
    There are sites who bother I know
    I throughly enjoy all the past but not
    forgotten. Marion

  84. C.... M....

    I just posted that Joe Cocker sang this song best...Then I found this cover...Damn!

    C.... M....

    I've heard Nina's version...I just happen to like Cocker's and Buckley's covers better. It's like arguing about the best guitarist in history...Noone opinion wins or loses.

    C.... M....

    Absolutely...hence the "IMHO"...although I admit not so much the "humble" part!  The best thing about opinions is everybody gets to be right, even when everyone else disagrees!

    C.... M....

    Oh my some great covers of Bob Dylan songs. The Band Grateful Dead Richie Havens Odetta Joe Cocker Jeff Buckley Pete Seeger Johnny Cash Kris Kristofferson Nina Simone and don't forget The Staple Singers Joan Baez Alison Kraus Karen Dalton Josephine Baker and many many more amazing artists.
    Bob Dylan didn't win the Nobel prize for nothing, he has written and performed so such truly great songs and so many that will live on for centuries to come.

    C.... M....

    Kelvin Robertson Bob Dylan has the song writing credit, but the original release was by the Band not Dylan. They'd worked it out together with him while they were recording the Basement Tapes. For me the Band's version's the original and best, and it's no cover.

    C.... M....

    Richard Manuel sang this song the best. Even better than Buckley !

  85. F.... C....

    no existe un solo adjetivo para este hombre! es unico! UNICO!

    F.... C....

    +FerJBKC "unico"??? ;-)

    F.... C....

    +Obstsalatissimo ese es el adjetivo Unico jaj

  86. S.... S....

    A great cover of an awesome song . . . .jeff nailed it yet again . . .

    S.... S....

    Well said.

  87. L.... S....

    What is it with people and comments on covers: "It's _____ but I prefer _______'s version." Fuck off! Why are your first responses to a cover to compare it negatively?

  88. s.... a....

    brilliant

  89. M.... D....

    Listen to it by Aaron Neville...

    M.... D....

    +Martin Devon he rape that song !

  90. J.... ....

    Dylan destroys this! Good version, I prefer Dylan's!

  91. j.... o....

    beautiful song s/o from dallas tx

  92. D.... M....

    i love the dylan version of this best but can't find it so will settle for this version... pretty good

    D.... M....

    You can find it on CD or vinyl in quaint old establishments known as record stores :)

  93. A.... B....

    Jeff buckley, keep on making dylans covers in heaven. I hope all of us will listen you there.

    A.... B....

    For my big sister in ICU this second. You shall be released soon ...no more suffering. I'll love and miss you forever ♥️🥀

    A.... B....

    Martha Stephens It feels selfish to say I hope she recovered. I do hope you’re at peace with it. If only grief weren’t the cost of loving someone.

  94. T.... B....

    It's amazing how many covers of this song there are still i's the pain in Richard's voice that is the standard to me. Jeff comes close and offering vocal subtleties and pain that drive to the heard of this song.
