I think Jeff Buckley met his dad Tim Buckley only once, two months before Tim died in June 1975 of an overdose of heroin and morphine.

Although Jeff flatly rejected any comparisons to his dad there were a lot of similarities between them. They looked like each other, had these amazing haunting voices and had a similar approach to making music, writing songs that broke free of convention. Both died young, they were sensitive souls, probably too sensitive for this world.

On this track Tim's vocal range is astonishing.
