SONG OF THE WEEK #3 / I KNOW ITS OVER / JEFF BUCKLEY


-
Unreleased until 2007, Buckley's cover of the Smith's seminal "I Know its Over", from "The Queen is Dead" album, strips the song down to it's bare bones then showers it with intimacy.
-
Over the years of listening to Buckley's music I had only ever heard the verse from I Know its Over seamlessly weaved into a medley of Cohen's "Hallejujah." To now hear it in full is something else.
-
For anyone unfamiliar with Buckley's "Live At Sin-é" album I couldn't recommend it enough - a showcase of virtuosity so transparent at times it is completely staggering.
