*sigh*
I was (well am!) a huge Jeff Buckley fan. He adorned my bedroom walls in my moody late teens. I discovered him through my long term love of Chris Cornell/Soundgarden. Chris Cornell wrote a gorgeous song about Jeff when he died.

I love this version of the song and as gifted as Leonard Cohen was, I actually prefer it to the original. Jeff's voice is just so haunting.

Grace by Jeff Buckley is possibly my all-time most favourite song!

I had such a crush on Jeff Buckley back in the day - that voice! I also realize I have a thing for high cheekbones and 'soulful' eyes, lol

Yeah I had a huge crush on him too. I had a huge poster of him at the head of my bed! LOL

I always thought that young RSL had a passing resemblance for JB at times. Oddly, aside from RSL and JB, nearly all my loves have been blonde/fair haired and blue eyed (including my husband!) -I've come to realise that my thing is wavy hair! All the guys I've lusted after have either had wavy or curly hair! My husband's hair is pretty much the blonde version of RSL's! LOL

Yes, this is one of my fav versions of this song, too. And yes, left way too soon. <3
