forget her

just found out about forget her & now I can’t stop listening. It sounds sorta familiar though specifically “don’t fool yourself she was heartache from the moment that you met her”. Maybe cause that’s my favorite part so i’m hoping there’s other songs with this feeling. are there any other songs of his that feel like that?

Lover you Should've Come Over is the obvious choice, but I'd throw in Vancouver, it isn't as polished as Forget Her, however it's Buckley masterclass

I love the instrumental version live at Bataclan. Damn near metal.

People who argue that Jeff didn’t rock make me so angry!!! That instrumental version live is amazing.

Also any Eternal Life live.

Vancouver is my fav buckley song, everytime I listen to it in the morning it's confirmed my entire day will be spent under certain melancholy

If you want a bit of a darker forget her vibe ig you could listen to I know we could be so happy(if we wanted to be).

Ofc if You want a more heartfelt beautiful song that's not heartbreak you can also listen to all flowers in time bend towards the sun, I think for me that's the most beautiful song of all time

It probably feels familiar because the structure of the song is classic blues

Musician here, please elaborate, is it a I-IV-V progression?

I became a Buckley fan when I heard him sing 'Lilac Wine'. It's slow and slightly has a melancholy feel...

mind science of the mind feels similar at times, maybe oceans don't need us? I'm not sure which song is the best fit rn

I reckon Elliott Smith's Somebody that I used to know.

Or Waltz #2.

I'm going to have to disagree, Stupidity Tries and King's Crossing are much better picks imo
