If only you'd hear his father's music.
Lover, You Should Have Come Over is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The world was truly robbed of his talent and all the songs he would've gone on to write.
One of my favourite songs by him is the unreleased “all flowers in time bend towards the sun” with Elizabeth Fraser, he died before it was finished and Elizabeth didn’t want it released as she didn’t think it was complete but it’s absolute incredible

I sat on Bondi beach and watched the sun come up with Jeff. He was obsessed with water. He was a beautiful soul ☺️

Did not know he was dead, but that explains why I heard that great music and noticed he wasn’t a top tier celebrity yet RIP
Last Goodbye has never left my playlist. I was 15 years old when it came out in early 1995.

His music was and is so amazing to this day. I absolutely love when he sang Hallelujah. Thank you 😊 Rest peacefully and eternally. 🕊️🙏❤️
Jeff left music that will live forever amazing musician ❤
He was beautiful inside and out. He is missed.
He's my favourite musician of all time. His live performances are mesmerising and once you get lost in them you can't get enough. He reached pure transcendence when he was on stage. Once in a lifetime kind of artist. No doubt he would have gone on to be absolutely huge. Very underrated guitarist and brilliant song writer on top of that voice.
I still listen to my "Grace" album. He sang like an angel...gone too soon.❤️

I have only posthumous double CD compilation "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk" with unfinished songs and demos. Lyrics are very dark and somber, how he can predicted own death.
One of my absolute favourites💕 His music was the anthem of my teenage heartbreaks😅 Still sad about his tragic death… Also, his Dad’s music is pretty awsome too!
He will forever be one of my favorite artists. He’s the only singer I listen to that writes romantic music.
"So Real"--I couldn't awake from the nightmare/ that sucked me in and pulled me under.

Amazing artist. 💜🤣👍🏻
your guys videos are so original, where do you get your ideas from?
I live in Memphis TN, I know all about the Wolf River and Mississippi River and where they meet. The Wolf River runs through Memphis. The river is very toxic and the currents are horrible. Certain parts, people do get in but not there. I've crossed over or drove by that river millions of times. Wow. I didn't know this about his. Wolf River here in Memphis. Damn.
I would really love to hear Keith Foti's full statement of that day...

In high school I remember trying to learn one of his songs from tablature featured in a guitar magazine. I didn't know he died until I saw this video but he was a great songwriter.
Still so sad to lose one of the greatest artists that never got to become what they deserved. Perhaps meant to be…live fast die young and leave a good looking corpse (something, or similar to what Jimmy Dean quoted). His stuff haunts, yet captivates me.
Such a tragedy RIP
I've been listening to 'Lilac wine 'alot lately

Drug OD's and suicide are kinda par for the course in music...but an accidental drowning is fucking gut wrenching.
Oh Jeff, why did you go into that river? Why?!

I'm in Memphis. Always have been. The Wolf River is highly toxic with oil and a bunch of mess. Also the currents will drag you under. Pure filth, dark brown, snakes and everything. And the tides are insane. Mississippi too. There are one or two parts of the Wolf River a few people go to canoe. Other than that , most know not to get it either of them. It's a given. But his story is different, so sad. Yes it was just as bad back then , just now as much oil. But even then, it was a big NO. Sad to hear that's how he passed and that he passed
there was a guy named hitler who made kill millions of people and a guy named jeff buckley that gave us one of the beautifull voice in this earth.hitler lived so many years..... jeff was taken from us so quick.and there are people who believe in god....I say there is something wrong in this planet

As Bon Scott
had to have been a manic episode, why else would he have done that??
I have a feeling it may have been intentional his music is the absolute saddest I have no doubt he might contemplated suicide :(
Jeff died at age 33 i think. Not 30.
Is it Buckley or BooClay?

@@neoAREAXIS That’s not true. Jeff and his friend didn’t even intend to go down to the river. Originally, they were trying to find the studio that Jeff and his band - who were flying into Memphis, that evening - were going to be convening at, the next day, to resume work on their sophomore album. Jeff and his friend got lost on the way to said studio and spontaneously decided to go to the river, where Jeff took his fateful swim. Jeff was sober when he drowned, according to his autopsy report.
