That same evening, Buckley went swimming in&nbsp;Wolf River Harbor,&nbsp;a&nbsp;slackwater&nbsp;channel of the&nbsp;Mississippi River, while wearing boots and all of his clothing.&nbsp;Buckley had gone swimming there several times before.&nbsp;A roadie in Buckley&#8217;s band, Keith Foti, remained on shore only to realize &nbsp;that Buckley had vanished. Despite a determined rescue effort that night, Buckley remained missing. On June 4, two locals spotted his body in the Mississippi River near a riverboat, and it was brought to land.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u25ca &nbsp;&#8216;Lover, You Should&#8217;ve Come Over&#8217; &nbsp;\u2193<\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uCIAkDLhNG0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Looking out the door<br \/>\nI see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners<br \/>\nParading in a wake of sad relations<br \/>\nAs their shoes fill up with water<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Maybe I&#8217;m too young<br \/>\nTo keep good love from going wrong<br \/>\nBut tonight, you&#8217;re on my mind so<br \/>\nYou never know<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Broken down and hungry for your love<br \/>\nWith no way to feed it<br \/>\nWhere are you tonight?<br \/>\nChild, you know how much I need it.<br \/>\nToo young to hold on<br \/>\nAnd too old to just break free and run<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Sometimes a man gets carried away,<br \/>\nWhen he feels like he should be having his fun<br \/>\nMuch too blind to see the damage he&#8217;s done<br \/>\nSometimes a man must awake to find that, really,<br \/>\nHe has no-one&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So I&#8217;ll wait for you&#8230; And I&#8217;ll burn<br \/>\nWill I ever see your sweet return?<br \/>\nOh, will I ever learn?<br \/>\nOh, Lover, you should&#8217;ve come over<br \/>\nCause it&#8217;s not too late.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Lonely is the room the bed is made<br \/>\nThe open window lets the rain in<br \/>\nBurning in the corner is the only one<br \/>\nWho dreams he had you with him<br \/>\nMy body turns and yearns for a sleep<br \/>\nThat won&#8217;t ever come<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s never over,<br \/>\nMy kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s never over,<br \/>\nall my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her&#8230;<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s never over,<br \/>\nAll my blood for the sweetness of her laughter&#8230;<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s never over,<br \/>\nShe&#8217;s a tear that hangs inside my soul forever&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">But maybe I&#8217;m just too young to keep good love<br \/>\nFrom going wrong<br \/>\nOh&#8230; lover you should&#8217;ve come over&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Yes, and I feel too young to hold on<br \/>\nI&#8217;m much too old to break free and run<br \/>\nToo deaf, dumb, and blind<br \/>\nTo see the damage I&#8217;ve done<br \/>\nSweet lover, you should&#8217;ve come over<br \/>\nOh, love, well I&#8217;ll wait for you<br \/>\nLover, you should&#8217;ve come over<br \/>\n&#8216;Cause it&#8217;s not too late.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2022\u2192&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gip77qGXWT4#t=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeff Buckley interviewed in Paris<\/a>\u2190<\/h6>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a4 &nbsp;J<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jeffbuckley.com\/pages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eff Buckley<\/a> Bio&nbsp; \u21d4&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vdpaefqjSr8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Life and Career of the Singer-Songwriter &nbsp;\u21d0<\/a><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He was a mystery white boy. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we\u2019re taking a look at the life and career of Jeff Buckley.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022&nbsp;Musical Beginnings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jeffrey Scott Buckley was born November 17th, 1966 in Anaheim, California to a musical family. Buckley was raised by his piano- and cello-playing mother and a classic rock-loving stepfather, after his own dad \u2013 cult folk and jazz singer Tim Buckley \u2013 left prior to his birth. The young Buckley picked up his first guitar at age five and later played in his high school jazz band.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022&nbsp;Hollywood, New York City and Numerous Bands<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his late teens, Buckley studied music in Hollywood and began singing backup and playing guitar for diverse bands. As success eluded him, Buckley tried his luck in New York City: after performing at a tribute concert for his late father, he had a brief stint with the band Gods and Monsters in the early \u201890s. Buckley then started performing covers and his own material at coffee shops and clubs. His sets incorporated musical styles like folk, jazz and rock, and were influenced by artists he had recently discovered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 &nbsp;Live at Sin-e<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was thanks to his weekly residency at Sin-\u00e9 caf\u00e9 that people took notice of his singing and guitar playing. His budding fan base helped pique the interest of several labels and landed Buckley a contract with Columbia Records in 1992. The Live at Sin-\u00e9 EP featured Buckley singing with an electric guitar, and it dropped the following year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 &nbsp;\u201cGrace\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next, for his full-length debut, Buckley created a fuller sound by including drums, bass and string arrangements. Grace was unveiled in 1994, and \u2013 like his earlier work \u2013 that effort comprised both original material and cover songs. Most notable was Buckley\u2019s version of Leonard Cohen\u2019s \u201cHallelujah,\u201d which later gained massive popularity and became known as one of the finest examples of the singer\u2019s work. However, Grace was not a hit upon its release; in fact, it barely made a dent on the U.S. Billboard 200 and did not find radio popularity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022<strong> &nbsp;Touring and Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Those mixed reviews turned into praise after Buckley went on the road with his band over the next few years. While honing his vocal chops and impressing crowds, Buckley received accolades from well-respected artists and was awarded one of France\u2019s highest musical honors. He even returned to Sin-\u00e9 on occasion and spent time playing bass in another band.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022<strong> &nbsp;Writing and Recording<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buckley began writing and recording with his musicians for a follow-up album in 1996. When these sessions proved unfruitful, Buckley began working on his music alone. During this time, he did end up collaborating with Inger Lorre, and he contributed to an Edgar Allan Poe-inspired double disc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022<strong> &nbsp;New Material at Shows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In early 1997, Buckley began performing some new songs. He eventually took up a weekly residency at Barrister\u2019s Bar in Memphis, Tennessee and continued recording demos on the side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 &nbsp;Death<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soon, Buckley was due to start rehearsals with his band. However, on May 29th, 1997, he decided to take an evening swim, and this proved to be a fatal decision: six days later, Jeff Buckley\u2019s body was found in the Mississippi River. An autopsy later confirmed his cause of death to be accidental drowning. It was also found that Buckley was not under the influence of any substances when he died.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 &nbsp;\u201c(Sketches for) My Sweetheart the Drunk\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The double album Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk was released the next year under the supervision of Buckley\u2019s mother. The collection was well-received by critics, who found that its demos and almost-finished songs highlighted a variety of genres, as well as Buckley\u2019s vocal range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 &nbsp;Posthumous Releases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other posthumous releases included the live albums Mystery White Boy and Live \u00e0 L\u2019Olympia, a collaborative compilation with Gary Lucas, and the deluxe limited edition of Grace Around the World. That project was accompanied by a Buckley tribute documentary, which set the stage for other Buckley-inspired films.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 &nbsp;Re-emergence of \u201cGrace\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the new millennium dawned, Buckley\u2019s Grace achieved gold status in the U.S., and was expanded into a tenth anniversary Legacy Edition. His music also returned to the charts: after \u201cHallelujah\u201d was covered by an \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d contestant, Buckley\u2019s rendition topped Billboard\u2019s Hot Digital Songs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 &nbsp;Musical Legacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His voice and vision have already inspired many and will undoubtedly move scores more. Thanks to its use in various media, we\u2019ll never have to say a last goodbye to Jeff Buckley or his music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2666 &nbsp;Tim Buckley&nbsp; \u2193 &nbsp;&#8216;Song to the Siren&#8216; &nbsp;(1968) <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile &#8216;Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me, sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am, here [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":10297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[178,168],"tags":[102,195,313],"class_list":["post-10296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview","category-lyrics2","tag-lyrics","tag-biography","tag-america","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10296"}],"version-history":[{"count":37,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55342,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10296\/revisions\/55342"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
