Jeff Buckley - Lover You Should Have Come Over.
For lyrics, melody, and arrangement this is hard to beat. The opening lines:
"Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so..."
The bridge, which swells with a gospel choir, is almost overwhelming:
"It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever"
He could write like Leonard Cohen, and sang like an angel.
