Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley

Ele não era um músico qualquer. Se bem que ninguém que é musico, pode ser chamado que qualquer. Mesmo qualquer músico. Bah... Chega de "qualqueres"!

Jeff Buckley não ficou famoso no Brasil, o que é uma pena. Era genial e sua composição tinha traços desde Led Zeppelin à música popular francesa. Isso mesmo. Ele tinha admiração por Edith Piaf e outros.

Para mim, a canção "Last Goodbye" é visceral a ponto de não conseguirmos identificar todas as viagens que os instrumentos fazem. A letra, um monólogo em tom de mensagem, não deixa dúvidas sobre a culpa, conflito e pedido de desculpas. Mas como ele mesmo disse, "acabou"...

Rest In Peace.

This is our last goodbye

I hate to feel the love between us die

But it's over

Just hear this and then i'll go

You gave me more to live for

More than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace

Must I dream and always see your face

Why can't we overcome this wall

Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me

But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation

You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time

I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'

And did you rush to the phone to call

Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind

Saying maybe you didn't know him at all

You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime

Burning clues into this heart of mine

Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories

Offer signs that it's over... it's over
