Jeff Buckley - Opened Once Lyrics

Jeff Buckley and Neko Case (2nd and 3rd albums) were literally the only great things to happen in that decade.

I love you Jeff

Ok, the chord at 3:19 made me cry. Wow.

Everytime I think about you Jeff, I am so melancholy almost on the verge of crying. I miss you and I know you're playing beautiful songs wherever you are.

i love the moon. i also love hemp oil lol. ya'll come get it get it. get that hemp oil. everylasting life. jeff is with all of us poets.

jeff visits me all the time.he's one of my best friends. he walks the earth.

What's this 320kbps bullshit? Even if you encoded the video with 320kbps audio, that's not what Youtube converts it to. The video that plays in the Youtube player, is not the video you uploaded, and Youtube does not do 320kbps audio

One of Jeff's many masterpieces. So beautiful. So emotional.

Dear sweet Jeff I'm devastated daily u aren't here. If there is heaven I will be near ur magic someday

This song always guts me... still missing you JB, forever in my heart. 2019

KJ apa brought me here, what a great discover 💙

Por qué moriste tan de niño ?😫

KJ APA'S INSTAGRAM STORY BROUGHT ME HERE. 😍😂

There will hardly be another voice like that of Jeff Buckley, he misses so much.

This song is just so beautiful. I was reading the new Buckley book by his old manager this last fortnight so have been immersed in him. This song actually almost brought me to years yesterday. I miss him. Thank goodness we have the music...

I meant ‘tears’ not years!

"In the half light you saw me as I am.
I am a rail road track abandoned
With the sunset, forgetting that I ever happened"
I think that sums up Scorpios so well

This song opens like a flower

Man i love that. And you are spot on...it does.

this man was pure music

we are lucky that he visited our planet

Doctor Doctor that's exactly how I feel I just wish it was a longer visit

You nailed it.

been listening to him for the past 15 years at least.. Could not read a more precise comment than yours.

The greatest poet singer ever exists....20 years without him.

I can't listen this very often. It's too emotional. But I just love it. And Jeff we will never forget that you ever happened x

great song.  It reminds me a bit of Radiohead <3

Sent here from Sinead

If i don t listen to him , i just miss him as much as i need to see the ocean

jeff.. you are smooth....

I love his voice! 😍"

This song is si fucking gorgeous. I try not to listen to it too often because it makes me cry every time.

mrsmars_ me rn I’m actually crying though

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Good headphones + this jam = chills everywhere.

Damn. Just damn...

"I am a railroad track abandoned, with the sunset forgetting I ever happened."

That line always gets me. My favourite Jeff Buckley song.

Mine too

Doktor Tchock One of the most beautiful lines ever written. It expresses so so so much, I don't even want to try to analize the meanings because I'd ruin it. That line alone would make this song a masterpiece, imho.

"I once was open
And one with a travelling heart
I loved with disregard

Just like the fiction
Rushing in your riverbed
Arise like applause in my head

And in the half-light
Where we both stand
This is the half-light
See me as I am

Just like the ocean
Always in love with the moon
It's overflowing now
Inside you

We fly right over
The minds of so many in pain
We are the smile of light that brings them rain

In the half light
Where we both stand
In the half light
You saw me as I am

I am a railroad track abandoned
With the sunset
Forgetting
I ever happened
That I ever happened."

Masterpiece. Period.

John Arundell
No John , I haven’t . I’d love to though.

Thank you. Almost everyone gets this section wrong.

Though my take is ...
I love . . . disregard.

Huh. I've been singing 'this sweet guy' all this time, imagining Jeff's one gay relationship. Damn. Way to ruin the fantasy guys.

perfection.

Most beautiful.

I love this song it touches me so deeply... I cant believe he is gone even after all this time.

this song seems like it should be as simple as just a voice and a guitar but yet is much more complex because of the way in which the guitar notes come together because they feel like they don't go together because of how drastically different the tunes and emotion of the song change yet is connected by Jeff Buckleys voice which also seems like it shouldn't go with the song yet does to make this beautifully constructed piece of art that makes me feel like I'm floating and life is beautiful. almost as good as 2 chainz.

+Eduardo Gonzalez Agreed, if you like this style check out Nick Drake too.

Hahahaha

Burned twice as bright but for only half as long..

My heart can't cope with this

This track always 'gets' me.......deeply moving. So sad Jeff died so young.......too good for this world eh?

Julian, I feel exactly the same way.  God decided that Jeff was too pure for this world.  There is no other way to make sense of it given all of the people that are detestable who stick around for too long.

"Just like the ocean,always in love with the moon,It's over flowing now inside you!" genius song and lyrics.. Damn so missssed

there no words for 

true @Marcella Joos 

One of the lost kings.. one of the best singers ever.. Beautiful voice and lyricist .. Gone far too soon JB

This song is a masterpiece.

Pure beauty: Jeff's voice.

One of my favorite Jeff Buckley songs. Breathtaking beauty.
