What Will You Say?- Jeff Buckley

"I can feel my time crawling to a slow end"

So, the verdict is in, Penn Badgley will be playing Jeff in the biopic.  I don't really know how I feel about it.  I mean, I'm happy it's not Robert Pattinson, only because I don't want this movie to be famous just because a heartthrob is starring in it.  That might take away from the whole point of the movie.  But, I have no idea how Penn Badgley will do.  He seems super psyched for it, I guess that's a good sign.  We will just have to see. I'm a little upset about the storyline though.  It's of his life up to the concert in honor of his dad, Greetings from Tim Buckley. Actually, that is also the title of the movie.  I wanted the movie to be more about Grace, I mean, his dad didn't really care about him, why should we name Jeff's biopic about someone who didn't care for Jeff. Seems a little off.  Also, there seems to be another biopic in the works, by Jake Scott and produced by Jeff's mom.  I think Reeve Carney should be up for it.  He sounds just like Jeff.  OR James Franco, the original contender.  Oh, and I also heard that the musical The Last Goodbye which is like Romeo and Juliet but with JBuck music may be heading to Broadway.   Why the recent trend in JBuck?  It's not like his legacy hasn't been around for the past 15 years.  I'm a little concerned for all this attention.  It's great that he is finally getting recognized for his genius, but I don't want him to becom a franchise.  He is too good for that, and wouldn't have wanted that.

This is a great song, just like all his other songs.  I really like it though because it mentions his mother and father.  It's one of the only songs that really address his issues with his dad Tim Buckley.  Plus, the note progressions are amazing.  Great song.

It's been such a long time
And I was just a child then
What will you say
When you see my face?
Time feels like it's flown away
The days just pass and fade away
What will you say
When they take my place?

It's funny now
I just don't feel like I'm a man
What will you say
When you see my face?
My face

Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?

Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Do you even care?
What will you say
When they take my place?

My heart can't take this anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
When you see my
See my face

I can feel your time crawling
To a slow end
I can feel my time crawling
To a slow end

Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?

Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Did you even care?
What will you say
When you take my place?

Well it's so funny now
I just don't feel like I'm a man
What will you say?
