With Jeff it's always 3 am and all hearts are broken forever.

i am fully convinced no man will ever feel this way towards a woman, truly i find it so hard to believe that love like this exists

She’s the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.

I feel physical pain in my chest when I listen to this. One of the most powerful songs ever.

My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come

I listened to this song a lot the months following my wife's death. The entire album, actually. Every time I hear "it's never over.. she's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever..." I lose it. Like just now.

"It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I sleep so soft against her... It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" Best verse of all time

I've been listening to this song for literally 10 years and I'm still not over it

I just discovered this guy ten minutes ago and his music has touched me like no other before

Who broke his heart like this...he was such a melancholic angel :(

It's hard to love someone better than this song.

Lyrics [Verse 1] Looking out the door I see the rain Fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water Maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight you're on my mind So you never know [Verse 2] Broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight, child You know how much I need it Too young to hold on And too old to just break free and run [Verse 3] Sometimes a man gets carried away When he feels like he should Be having his fun And much too blind to see The damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake To find that really, he has no-one So I'll wait for you, and I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return Oh, will I ever learn? [Chorus] Oh lover, you should've come over Cause it's not too late [Verse 4] Lonely is the room, the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns For a sleep that won't ever come It's never over My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over All my riches for her smiles When I slept so soft against her It's never over All my blood for The sweetness of her laughter It's never over She's the tear that hangs Inside my soul forever Well maybe I'm just too young To keep good love from going wrong [Chorus] Oh... Ohh... Ohhhhh... Ohhhhhh... Ohh..... lover, you should've come over Yes, yes, I feel too young to hold on And I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind To see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over Oh, love well I'll wait for you Lover, lover, lover Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover Lover, lover, lover you should've come over Cause it's not too late

Society: Men aren’t in touch with their emotions... Jeff Buckley: Hold my Lilac Wine...

You have no idea how many nights I have cried to this song.

Jeff Buckley had so much to give this world. He'd only just gotten started. His death was such a huge loss for the music industry and humanity in general. This song is beyond beautiful..the lyrics break my heart.

My god, how does he capture the crippling desperation of heart ache so effortlessly? And the same heart ache we now feel for him. There have been many red wine tears to this song at 3am around the world! Cheers to you Jeff, I wish you could have lived to remain in our lives for much much longer. Peace brother.

My mother died nine days ago and her wish was to play this song at her funeral. We all cried.

The intro of this song is the sound of heaven

This has got to be one of the best songs of all time

This is one of those rare songs that I can't get sick of. It's utterly exquisite in every single way, and a great example of Jeff's immaculate talent.

She’s a tear line might be the greatest lyric ever written. If you’ve felt it you know

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water Maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight you're on my mind so You'll never know Broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it. Too young to hold on And too old to just break free and run Sometimes a man gets carried away, When he feels like he should be having his fun Much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really, He has no one So I'll wait for you and I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return, Or, will I ever learn? Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late. Lonely is the room the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns for a sleep That won't ever come It's never over, My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over, all my riches for her smiles When I slept so soft against her It's never over, All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over, She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever But maybe I'm just too young, To keep good love from going wrong Oh lover, you should've come over, yeah yeah yes I feel too young to hold on I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind To see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over Oh, love I've waited for you Lover, you should've come over 'Cause it's not too late

It's not just a song, this is a piece of true art. How beautiful and poetic lyrics are, that sound from Jeff's angelic voice, everything in this song is perfect. This song means a lot to me, I can feel and understand his pain when he sings it, because I experienced familiar feelings. I can't imagine how many masterpieces he could have written, if he was alive.

Its a new year. I’ve had a shitty day, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard Jeff Buckley. Where has he been my whole life.

It’s the day after new year, I’m listening to this 6 in the morning staring at the ceiling trying to fall asleep. I’m trying to think of the goodtimes, it’s hard to ignore the sadness I’m trying to hide. This song just keeps things off my mind. Maybe we can make this year a great one.

This song always has, and always will blow my mind. It's intensity just builds and builds. When it feels too much it keeps going, until you're utterly lost in its beauty. This truly is transcendent, for me anyway lols, but I doubt I'm alone here on the internet... But then again I am drunk, and too often listening to Jeff whilst drunk and alone...

I miss him. x

This song is so perfect that you could pick any quote and say it's your favorite moment and would make sense. That said, in the last minutes of the song when Jeff sings "...too dumb, deaf and blind to see the damage i've done, sweet lover, you should've come over..." hits right in my feelings, the desperation in his voice summarize the tone of the entire song

It's almost midnight on a saturday, I have one candle burning, my guitar is lying on my bed next to me and I am crying to this masterpiece.

2023 and I still relate to every single word. Now 43 and loved this song from 16yrs old.

too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run.... This fills my soul

The best album of the past 30 years, and the fact that I didn't hear it until a month ago is a crime against humanity. But I have it now and forever. Love your music Jeff.

A song for anyone whos ever missed a person thats special in their heart

Everyone has that 'tear that hangs inside my soul forever'. This is easily one of the most beautiful songs that will ever be written.

This guy gets the blues. This effortless keening, pitch perfect ache that is this vocal is absolute perfection. RIP man.

His music will always be there for when I need it.

Can I just say, that Jeff Buckley is fucking amazing.

I only have two moods: Morrisey singing "I know it's over" and Jeff Buckley singing "It's never over!"

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like should be having his fun.

This song destroys me. Yet gives me hope. How can someone sing so beautifully?

how this man can create such emotion in a matter of minutes is beyond me. makes me thik theres something magical in the human psyche. rest in peace.

The collective comments are as beautiful as the song

This song was the soundtrack to my middle year at uni - in 1995. I lost her - I should have gone over, but I didn't. When I listen to this song it all feels like yesterday. That's the magic of music.

Of all his magnificent songs, this is definitely his masterpiece

This song hits different at 3am, i'll never get over how beautiful it is.

I'd love to have a drink with each and every one of you beautiful people. You all have at least a portion of gold in your hearts

All I can say is that! Jeff is the last of the poets, passing like a comet. And he left us beautiful star dust. Forever in my soul!

Never forget the first time I heard this. My wife and I sat quietly in the car together absolutely astonished. It was like hearing the Beatles for the first time.

"shes the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" it gets me every time :(

this album hurts my heart

My ex boyfriend broke up with me a year ago and I’m still having a hard time dealing with it, I’m still wishing there weren’t more than a thousand kilometers between us, and that we could get back together somehow. I’m still thinking that relationship was the closest I could get to true love... and it hurts. It’s never over.

I will listen to this song for the rest of my life...it will always remind of this certain point of my life i don't want to remember constantly but, at the same time, i should never forget...

YOU'RE the tear that hangs inside my soul forever jeff. i don't think it's physically possible to find other songs that can give this big of an impact to me. i love, love you so much.

God this hits so hard for me right now. I’ve had too many “right person wrong time” but I’m really hoping this girl isn’t a “what could have been” either

This album should be everyone's favorite

my future husband is somewhere in those 6.6m views

He is immortalized. And, he is worthy enough of that Immortalization.

One of the greatest underrated songs ever, this is a masterpiece.

She's a tear that hangs inside my soul forever!

What a masterpiece...

“ my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder , it’s never over , all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her , it’s never over , all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter , it’s never over , she’s thetear that hangs inside my soul forever 🫠 . “ oh to be loved the way jeff buckley loves .

been over a year and i still miss her and i don’t think i ever won’t stop…

this song cuts like a knife if you’ve ever experienced the heartbreak he’s talking about. one of the few song that makes me cry

“But maybe I’m just too young to keep good love from going wrong”…. not sure if my heart can recover from that line. It really embodies the guilt that comes with loss.

I always find myself moved to tears when I listen to Jeff's beautiful voice. His lyrics combined with his insane musical talent blows me away. His legacy lives on. :(

This is one of the few songs that makes my heart physically ache. I feel it in my chest when a song is speaking to my inner darkness - Jeff could sing directly to the soul

Rip man. Can't listen to this song without crying.

Jeff is the only artist that makes me close my eyes and just let the music drive me away...it's almost hypnotic

Never knew him but it hurts so bad knowing he’s gone. What a beautiful talented man he was. Heartbroken. 😢

I was 24 by the time, and lost the girl I most loved in my life, and probably the one who loved me the most, and it was all my fault. Listened and cried a couple of times to that song, without really trying to understand its lyrics (I'm French). Tonight after a long recovering, I'm listening to it afin, and reading the lyrics give me a master love/life lesson I should have been able to take years before....

This will forever remind me of a loss that can never be understood, like the loss ofJeff Buckley. Tragic, sad, horrible. I so miss the amazing person I knew and loved.

My mom use to go to school with this man and let me say when she told me about his music I didn't wanna listen but now I'm here I can't leave ❤️💜❤️ R.I.P Jeff Buckley .

How can it be possible that someone with a talent like this isn't with us anymore 😭 forever devastated

When a track is full of hooks, it's really good for a handful of listens. Not enough hooks, and the listener has no reason to come back to it. This song is the epitome of the "perfect blend", allowing it to remain fresh every single time.

I can see the celtic influence in his songwriting. It makes me proud knowing that many poetic, romantic, wailing musical works came from Ireland/Scotland.

Verse 1] Looking out the door I see the rain Fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water Maybe I'm too young To keep good love from going wrong But tonight you're on my mind So you never know [Verse 2] Broken down and hungry for your love With no way to feed it Where are you tonight, child You know how much I need it Too young to hold on And too old to just break free and run [Verse 3] Sometimes a man gets carried away When he feels like he should be having his fun And much too blind to see the damage he's done Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one So I'll wait for you, and I'll burn Will I ever see your sweet return Oh, will I ever learn? [Chorus] Oh lover, you should've come over Cause it's not too late [Verse 4] Lonely is the room, the bed is made The open window lets the rain in Burning in the corner is the only one Who dreams he had you with him My body turns and yearns For a sleep that won't ever come It's never over My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder It's never over All my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her It's never over All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter It's never over She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever Well maybe I'm just too young To keep good love from going wrong [Chorus] Oh... Ohh... Ohhhhh... Ohhhhhh... Ohh..... lover, you should've come over Yes, yes, I feel too young to hold on And I'm much too old to break free and run Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done Sweet lover, you should've come over Oh, love well I'll wait for you Lover, lover, lover Lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover Lover, lover, lover you should've come over Cause it's not too late

I discover him recently, It feels like a blessing his voice and music and made cry

Come back jeff the world needs more of you 💔

I started listening to Jeff almost 30 years ago after Chris Cornell and Todd Park Mohr said Jeff was their favorite vocalist. From there, I tried to make sure everyone heard this man's amazing voice.

I must have listened to Jeff Buckley's rendition of Hallelujah countless time. Lover, You Should've Come Over is just as good, dare I saw it's equal.

My God, those back up vocals kick in and I just melt.

Sometimes a man must awake to find that really he has nooooooo one.. Chills

I feel pain and nauseous whenever I listen to his breathtaking voice, it's ever so beautiful and I just can't stop listening to him.

This song is better than life itself

The voice of an angel

Best album ever.

his music makes me so glad I'm alive...

Man, this song is an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. Doesn't get any better than this.

i love the way he puts some much emotion into every single word he says, like you can FEEL the yearning and emotions through his lyrics

I just lost my husband of 20 years, and I find myself here- I guess i didn't finish crying...

from dublin to ny, bad break up... this song saved me and made me so sad, still to this day. hard to listen to now.

He used to step onto stages in small venues of mostly lumberjacks and sing like this, w/o a lick of pretense. And the lumberjacks would sit in quiet amazement and total respect.

This is the perfect song to listen to while crying and writing a letter to your long-distance lover before meeting them at a time when you don't know when the next will be. He captures my heartache a bit too well.

I don’t think I’ve heard a song capture so perfectly, the shear pain and misery of having your heartbroken quite as well as this song. The first time I heard this song I thought it was a great song, but one failed relationship that hit me really hard later and I listened to it again and this song absolutely devastated me, because I know exactly what it’s like to love somebody that much and have it all fall apart. I couldn’t stop listening to it even though it sort of hurt. I think for me listening to this song was like having a really good cry.

"She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" 😞

I discovered Jeff’s music about 2 weeks ago through his title track ‘grace’ and I was mind blown and thought there was no way he could top that...MAN was I wrong!!! I now love the whole album and this song especially brings a tear to my eye as I can relate to the mistakes he sings so majestically and emotionally about. If only he was still around today to bless us with his music, the world would be a hell of a better place, RIP Jeff 😓

It's been my curse to associate this album with a relationship that turned very sour. For years I couldn't listen to this music because, frankly, it just hurt too much. But time changes things and I've recently picked up Grace and listened to it again. I'm finally free of the bitter associations. Ironically, as beautiful as it is, Grace is filled with just more heartbreak...

Hallelujah might be his most popular, but this is his best song and one of the greatest love songs out there.

'She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever' damn, son.

She's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
