Grace- Jeff Buckley

"So easy to know and forget with this kiss"

To start things off, I think my first post should be a song from my favorite artist: the late Jeff Buckley.  If you know anything about me, you will know that I am absolutely obssesed with JBuck.  Anytime I am feeling down, I just listen to one the many CDs I have of his and relax totally.  I find new rhythms and cadences and all these beautiful elements to his songs every time I listen to them.  It never gets old.  I'm sad that I wasn't old enough to realize his talent or to even know of him when he was still alive, such a shame.  I think he was the most talented and intellectually complex musician there has ever been.  But that's just my opinion.  Just listen for yourself, and you'll understand.

This is Grace, my fav.  It is about how when you are in love with someone, everything else doesn't even matter, including death.  It's a strange, hauntingly beautiful, love song, perhaps even a ballad.  The grace of being in love.

There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Though it's my time coming, I'm not afraid, afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time,
Of time

Wait in the fire...

And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow,oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain I might leave
Leave behind

Wait in the fire...

It reminds me of the pain I might leave
leave behind...

And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
But I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

Wait in the fire...
