I can understand why some people might have a strong emotional connection to it. I find it just a little too precious, and pretentious.

Your mileage, of course, may vary.

A song is what you bring to it. Great ones touch us and make us examine who we are and what we feel. As this one has done for me today.


Well written. Bravo!

Jeff Buckley wrote "Lover You Should Have Come Over" about his breakup with his girlfriend. I went to a memorial concert ten years after his death and one of the performers covered the song. I did okay until the bridge, and on the verse "It's never over / A kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder..." the guy in front of me collapsed in grief. Within seconds it was painfully clear for whom the central metaphor of the song was no metaphor.

A song is what you bring to it. Great ones touch us and make us examine who we are and what we feel. As this one has done for me today.

doesn't need to be - the total nothingness regarding a person once granted entrance to the sanctum sanctorum is joltingly depressing.

Oh, great. The next song is Jeff Buckley's Last Goodbye .

Both beautiful, but I picked a bad week to give up ether.

I really like this song, but I feel like it needs a good refrain. It's a lot of verse and no hook.


I was just wondering the same thing!

Okay, this is one of my favourite songs ever. It takes me back to roadtrips I took in the summer of 2007.

I'm so happy that RP has picked it up! Yay for Canadian Content.
