KEXP is celebrating our 50th anniversary this year, and we're looking back at the last half-century of music. Each week in 2022, KEXP pays homage to a different year, and our writers are commemorating a song from that year that resonates with them. This week, KEXP's Dusty Henry looks at Jeff Buckley's 1994 masterpiece 'Grace' and how "Lover, You Should've Come Over" might be his greatest artistic achievement.

Intro (ambient, whispered):

“Poof—you cannot see / what you cannot deduce is there anymore…”
(Swirling synth, reverb-heavy whispers fading in and out.)

Verse 1 (psychedelic, hypnotic groove):
Slip inside this merry-go-round,
Spin yourself through the time of your life.
Slide within the space inside your head,
Explore the things you said you did.

Chorus (anthemic, soaring guitars):
Life can be mesmerizing.
Life can be forgotten to be found.
A thought can be fleeting,
A thought can be profound.

Bridge (polyrhythmic, Tool-like):
Encounter the mind—
Encourage the brain—
Discover the translation
Between each.

Breakdown (dark ambient, spoken):
“Know when right is wrong because you want it so bad.
Right the wrongs that went against your grain…
Be within the mind’s call, or the ringing will stop.”

Final Chorus (layered voices, echoing):
Life can be mesmerizing.
Life can be forgotten to be found.
Let me see what you see,
And I’ll let you see me.

Outro (fading mantra, heartbeat rhythm):
TO HAVE EXPERIENCES… (.)
EXPERIENCE NEEDS DOING… (—)
(repeat, whispered into silence)
