Jeff Buckley - What Will You Say Lyrics






It's been such a long time
And I was just a child then
What will you say
When you see my face?
Time feels like it's flown away
The days just pass and fade away
What will you say
When they take my place?

It's funny now
I just don't feel like a man
What will you say
When you see my face?
My face...

Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?

Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Do you even care?
What will you say
When they take my place?

My heart can't take this anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?
When you see my,
See my face...

I can feel your time crawling
To a slow end
I can feel my time crawling
To a slow end...

Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
When you see my face?

Father do you hear me?
Do you know me?
Did you even care?
What will you say
When you take my place?

Well it's so funny now
I just don't feel like I'm a man
What will you say?

Jeff Buckley What Will You Say Comments
  1. R.... P....

    Good lord. This man. He didn’t just sing, he touched each note and every word. AND the perfect example of how you can keep the intensity regardless of the dynamics or tempo.

  2. B.... G....

    I was first a big fan of his Dad Tim Buckley and when Jeff surfaced with that album I was so thrilled and fell in love with his music. Only to be absolutely crushed when he died. Still hurts November 2019.

  3. U.... c....

    Llevo 48 horas sin parar de escucharle, es impresionante, no es normal. Gracias Dios por ponerle en mi camino.

  4. t.... ....

    I ADORE that part in the documentary about Jeff's life when Jimmy Page says "Aye, we all went out to see Jeff play and it was absolutely terrifying" LOL

  5. t.... ....

    This is my absolute FAVORITE live performance of all of Jeff Buckley. It's hard to say that with Sweet Thing, the Dylan covers at Sin e..... but this is so damn powerful that I can't do anything whenever I play it; I have to drop all that I'm doing and tune in to watching Buckley the maestro of the magic wield his power

  6. G.... T....

    Hook up

  7. G.... T....

    Very Strong Emotion

  8. d.... ....

    It's been such a long time
    And I was just a child then
    What will you say
    When you see my face?
    Time feels like it's flown away
    The days just pass and fade away
    What will you say
    When they take my place?

    It's funny now
    I just don't feel like a man
    What will you say
    When you see my face?
    My face...

    Mother dear, the world's gone cold
    No one cares about love anymore
    What will you say
    When you see my face?

    Father do you hear me?
    Do you know me?
    Do you even care?
    What will you say
    When they take my place?

    My heart can't take this anymore
    What will you say
    When you see my face?
    When you see my,
    See my face...

    I can feel your time crawling
    To a slow end
    I can feel my time crawling
    To a slow end...

    Mother dear, the world's gone cold
    No one cares about love anymore
    What will you say
    When you see my face?

    Father do you hear me?
    Do you know me?
    Did you even care?
    What will you say
    When you take my place?

    Well it's so funny now
    I just don't feel like I'm a man
    What will you say?

  9. K.... L....

    Fav all time

  10. S.... ....

    This song...my god...moves me so much..Jeff Buckley my hero!

  11. L.... L....

    Good God almighty! I miss Jeff so much.

  12. G.... I....

    Hi Jeff :) I bet u can't wait to see ur dad in Paraiso!!! He cries for u as much as God does. Together forever eternity. Love Infinity 🕯️. I love you 🙋 Grace God 💋💏. Hi sweetheart! I can't stop thinking of ways to hold you my China doll. I've ONLY been yours, jeff

  13. M.... T....

    no one cares about love anymore. or so i don't see here. i am jeff's mom. he's my angel. what will you say.. jeff and me are together. he protects me and i speak good on him. he has the voice of an angel.

  14. G.... ....

    Podría escucharla tres horas...

  15. S.... H....

    6:52 is BEAUTIFUL

  16. G.... T....

    There are Beatles tribute bands, Led Zeppelin tributes bands, Elvis impersonators, but you'll never ever ever see a Jeff Buckely tribute band or imitator because nobody can sing as good.

    G.... T....

    well said

    G.... T....

    Jeff Buckley it's very popular but his fame (rightly or wrongly) pales in comparison to the guys you mentioned. If he had fans like Elvis, there would be loads of Impersonators, most Elvis Impersonators are terrible so I don't think ability is much of a bar.

  17. A.... M....

    Is this guitar an 8 string?

    A.... M....

    12 string :)

  18. G.... R....

    A beautiful man in so many ways.. we miss you Jeff

  19. G.... T....

    This video has only 330,000 views and that shit karaoke performer Taylor Shit puts outs gets 300 million, go figure.

  20. K.... L....

    💋💋

  21. J.... T....

    I love you !

  22. H.... F....

    Playing a 330 into a dual Rectifier... interesting.

  23. a.... a....

    i just realized that this is a song for his father, dumb old me

    a.... a....

    and for her mother

  24. K.... L....

    RIP lovin it

  25. S.... A....

    Magnifique

  26. K.... L....

    Best song all time no remakes no bullshit

  27. �.... G....

    It's just me or Coldplay ripped off part of the song and use it in Daylight? In some moments they sounds pretty similar.

  28. m.... ....

    I know people think about a lot of things when they listen to this but all I can think off right now is how in the hell did Jeff brake that guitar belt holder

  29. L.... S....

    Je vais essayer de trouver grace (legacy édition) j'ai le vinyle de grace seulement l'album studio sans les bonus mais je préfère commander les titres en acoustique 😉 en tout cas très bon live! J'aurais aimer être présente mais en même temps j'habite en France ! Et lors de ce concert j'avais seulement 6 ans! Je suis née en 1989 lol

  30. A.... H....

    My favourite Jeff Buckley song. So heartfelt. It still gives me shivers.

    A.... H....

    Not his song!

    A.... H....

    @Manuel Balderas Millan yes it is. He wrote it with Chris Dowd (of Fishbone) and Carla Azar who was Chris' girlfriend at the time.

  31. T.... A....

    Such a shame he never got to record this and put it on an album. It's one of my faves of his, and I'd love to hear it get the "Grace" treatment.

  32. R.... S....

    Simply the best

  33. L.... C....

    I can't believe I was in this audience. Earth-moving show.

    L.... C....

    Laura Caragher incredibly envious of you

  34. S.... T....

    Currently a fight going on in the other room (family shit)... i put on my headphones, listen to this and hope the song never ends.

    S.... T....

    Why not listen it loud?

    S.... T....

    On repeat....

  35. J.... M....

    Perhaps the best live vocal performance I've ever heard ...by anyone. I am not even a massive Buckley fan, I respect his immense talent for sure. What a massive talent and tragic loss.

  36. M.... O....

    God, I miss you JB. Always and forever in my heart...2019

  37. J.... F....

    I wish his crowds were better. Too many pricks trying to look insightful. I get that they are entranced but bloody dance n lose yourself I say.

    J.... F....

    Glastonbury looked like they were having the best time ( mostly ) 😊

  38. K.... L....

    I know this is about God.
    Parents get so mad

    Cast there son.

    Mother dear. No one cares about love cause God stopped

  39. R.... K....

    I love the suave touch at the end where he blends the pitch of his voice to the noise of the ringing feedback.

  40. A.... N....

    I can feel it

  41. G.... S....

    Jeff Buckley the best singer off all time!

  42. b.... ....

    Rip mec

  43. z.... ....

    He is so soulful.

  44. N.... X....

    6:25 💔💔
    This is talent.

  45. C.... V....

    Wow just wow

  46. B.... R....

    Todas las canciones de el se parecen. Al menos las q he escuchado todas suenan igual.

  47. Z.... ....

    Change my live 😝💕

  48. G.... Y....

    You can sort of guess in which order these songs were performed by how much opened is Jeff's shirt.

    G.... Y....

    Great observation lol - Beautiful genius man...

    G.... Y....

    Or looking how SweAT he Is 😂

  49. L.... R....

    This song is SO good, not enough known. One of my favorites!

  50. K.... L....

    Mother and father the world is gone so cold nobody cares about love anymore

  51. K.... L....

    I love you Jeff

  52. D.... D....

    Love this song

  53. V.... O....

    amazing, like Jeff Buckley Style.

  54. L.... d....

    "I can feel your time crawling
    To a slow end
    I can feel my time crawling
    To a slow end..."

  55. a.... ....

    This is probably my favourite JB song. Not sure why there was never a studio version.

    a.... ....

    Because he dies before he could recorded it on studio. :'(

    a.... ....

    He lived for 2 more years after this song was written an played live so he chose not to record it in studio, nothing to do with time or opportunities.

  56. S.... ....

    Mother dear the Worlds gone cold. Nobody cares about Love anymore. Dear Jeff we Love you!

  57. a.... s....

    It's been such a long time
    And I was just a child then

    I just don't feel like a man
    What will you say
    When you see my face?
    My face...
    Mother dear, the world's gone cold
    No one cares about love anymore

    When you see my face?
    Father do you hear me?
    Do you know me?
    Do you even care?
    What will you say
    When they take my place?
    My heart can't take this anymore
    What will you say
    When you see my face?
    When you see my,
    See my face...
    I can feel your time crawling
    To a slow end
    I can feel my time crawling
    To a slow end...
    Mother dear, the world's gone cold
    No one cares about love anymore
    What will you say
    When you see my face?
    Father do you hear me?
    Do you know me?
    Did you even care?
    What will you say
    When you take my place?
    Well it's so funny now
    I just don't feel like I'm a man
    What will you say?

  58. A.... M....

    I bet this man is Mogwai's biggest influence..!!!!!

  59. R.... N....

    Did Jeff write this song? Also why did he never release it? Mesmerizing as always.

    R.... N....

    He dies just before recording his new album on studio.

    R.... N....

    Actually his friend Chris Dowd from Fishbone wrote it

  60. j.... ....

    once in a generation talent

  61. L.... ....

    Happy birthday to you jeff you should be here to celebrate it x

  62. R.... M....

    Brilliant

  63. K.... L....

    Love Jeff love

  64. C.... W....

    He brought jazz vocals to a new level in rock music. And died on my birthday. I always felt kind of bad about that....

    C.... W....

    Happy birthday

  65. C.... F....

    that was just incredible

  66. C.... F....

    premonition

  67. J.... E....

    Just great ❤

  68. J.... M....

    14 people hate music

  69. O.... F....

    I was lucky to see him live many times, including this show. What a loss.

    O.... F....

    My god I envy you

    O.... F....

    u lucky bastard

    O.... F....

    Extremely lucky I’d say! Must’ve been intense being there!

    O.... F....

    Wow. How was this show live?

    O.... F....

    I was about 5-10 years too young. Discovered and fell in love with everything late in high school about two f$cking years after he passed. So sad, but glad we have these memories. I can enjoy and pretend.

  70. A.... C....

    Wish he had the chance to work on this more and lay it down in a studio. A real gem.

  71. L.... S....

    Hermoso ❤️

  72. A.... M....

    6:50 and beyond 😩 slays me
    Viva la Jeff Buckley 💚💚💚

  73. F.... I....

    I am almost sure that he wrote this song. But anyone can confirm this? I really think this song can be the biggest master piece i've ever heard in my life. I'm not exagerating. Sry for my bad english.

    F.... I....

    Franco Ignacio Torres si pa, es de él

    F.... I....

    Not his song!

    F.... I....

    he co-wrote this with Chris Dowd and Carla Azar - it's his song. Not sure why people on here are saying it isn't.

  74. B.... C....

    What is this song about?

  75. D.... C....

    this is absolutely amazing. real musician none of this pansy ass shit like bieber

  76. B.... W....

    Sorry I'm a massive fan but I'm a little confused: did Jeff write this (because in other videos he says it's a cover) because that's what the sources I've consulted are saying?

    B.... W....

    Brianna Ward don't believe it's a cover but Jeff didn't write this one... But dear lord did he own it...

    B.... W....

    Co-written by himself and a friend I believe.

    B.... W....

    He co-wrote it with Chris Dowd of the band Fishbone.

  77. l.... p....

    this song reminds me of my dad

  78. j.... l....

    My favorite Song!!!!

  79. c.... c....

    mother dear, world's gone cold
    no one cares about love anymore

  80. D.... L....

    Indescribable.

  81. I.... W....

    white lily say what will you say when you see my face? I would say you are a beautiful white Lilly Jeff Buckley ...😇 and no one could take your place now that I've seen your beautiful face Jeff, you took your angel wings and flew away ... I had to stay behind to help others through this world that so unkind... so so so fly high I will meet you in the sky where the angels embrace the wind and start all over again to bring love back in😇❤😇 my angel friend Jeff Buckley😇❤😇

  82. R.... S....

    I really liked his first album, but not so much his second. Still a shame that he died so young. Would've liked to see what else he would've put out. He had such a genuine singing voice to where you know immediately it's Jeff Buckley.

  83. T.... f....

    I think even Bruno Mars can't reach Jeff Buckley's voice.

    T.... f....

    Bruno’s good but that’s like comparing sewage water to fine wine LMAO

    T.... f....

    @rohan gopakumar brilliant analogy.

  84. T.... f....

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! NA NA NA NA NA!!!!

  85. w.... G....

    Por siempre en nuestros Corazones,querido Jeff.Hasta Siempre,hermano..........desde Santiago de Chile.

    w.... G....

    x.... ....

    xPNova rickenbacker 360

    x.... ....

    xPNova they're roughly £2000 in England. Jeffs' would be priceless !

    x.... ....

    xPNova they're roughly £2000 in England. Jeffs' would be priceless !

  95. b.... ....

    I love at the end when he sings "I just don't feel like a man" and then he uses his falsetto to sound feminine when he sings "What will you say". Unbelievable sexy magic!

    b.... ....

    I think he's talking about age, not gender though

  96. k.... ....

    ❤👌 the best songs are written by Jeff's own ❤👌
