Over the past month or so, my love for Jeff Buckley's Grace album has grown to epic proportions, and now it has gotten to the point where I find it difficult to listen to anything else at all. His voice is so beautiful, it is absolutely overwhelming.

Any fans in here?

I love Jeff Buckley. "Grace" is my favorite song of his.

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

I've never heard of him, but I'll be in the CD store next week so tell me: any other songs besides Grace that you highly recommend?

Also, DV, I plan to check out Tom Waits as well, any particular songs that you highly recommend?

Thanx, I'll check'em out.

If he's second, who's the best lyricist?

Thank u both. One last question: I remember DVC, that you posted a picture of a female singer saying that you find her very attractive, and then DV said that he's surprised that you like her too...something like that..the thing is I dont remember the thread or the singer's name...just tell me whats her name so I could check out her CD's too.

Cat Power, although I don't think she's amazing. I like a few of her songs though like "Ice Water."

Cat Power's music is very personal. It's extremely raw, intimate, compelling, and distancing at the same time. I absolutely love it, but not everybody can get into her music.

Speaking of which, I would consider Jeff Buckley and Cat Power, along with Kurt Cobain, to be the 3 most talented artists at taking other people's songs and making them their own; translating their style and creativity to someone else's lyrical genius.
