May 01, 2009: Starting with Mojo Pin. This morphs into the "Zeppy" song on the cd. The lover is alone in bed with a warm blanket and vivid images of the "beauty" he aches for as described by the lyrics. Jeff's emotion brings us through all of the longing, frustration, and unfilled desires as he ultimately screams and pleads for his unattainable ghost. The key here that lures me in is the combo of the rhapsody and difficulties in which I can see the lover grasping for her and how he is overcome by the spell he cannot control. Next is Grace, the title song. The romance lives on in an arrangement which floats, soars, pulls, and teases sweeping us deeper in the passion. The Last Goodbye and Lilac Wine are the songs when the lover is experiencing the uncertainty, hope, joy, surrender, vulnerability, tumultuous need, and yet still lingering in anticipation of more to come in the relationship. In The Last Goodbye the lyrics about the kiss are clever and true to what the lover would want! So Real builds with lilting breezes of feeling to a "Beatlesque" interlude of muddled disarray before uttering a breathless honest profession. Hallelujah is the cornerstone of the cd and the most mentioned so I will simply say lovely. Lover, You Should've Come Over has the lover in an uneasy and reluctant acceptance of their relationship containing a message for his love. Oh, how lush love is and how desire doesn't wane. Corpus Christi Carol has a religious melody and angelic delivery. Eternal Life is a well crafted Alternative rock ditty true to form and angst lyrics. Dream Brother closes and fades out only to have me run and check to see if I have the entire cd on repeat. The bittersweet love that you almost had and all of the quivering flood of emotions that still remain under the surface come to life again when you experience the mastery of the Grace cd. God knows for me it is still So Real...what a love in my life! I have been there! Haven't you? God bless you Jeff for your gift of Grace.

The Best CD I Have Ever Ownedby Anonymous

March 10, 2009: I bought this CD after a bad break up, wanting some belting, passionate music to empathize with. Over the past five years, it has become my favorite CD that I have ever owned. Jeff Buckley's voice is simply amazing, and his lyrics are poetic and darkly lovely. Hallelujah is by far the best song on the CD, and though this wasn't written by Buckley, he sings it better than anyone ever could. Last Goodbye and Lover, You Should Have Come Over can bring you to tears. Grace and Mojo Pin are also lovely, interesting songs. This is truly one of the greatest CD's ever made, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever needed the perfect song to fit the strong emotions associated with love and loss.
