About This Track

“So Real” is song #5 on Jeff Buckley’s 1994 album Grace. It was also released as a single - the 3rd single from the album - and had a video.

Michael Tighe, a guitarist who joined Buckley late in the recording of Grace, brought with him what was to become the main riff on “So Real” that is played during the verses.

“Forget Her” was originally on the album track list, but Buckley subsequently replaced it with “So Real”. The former, while not appearing on the album, was subsequently released on the second disc of the 10th anniversary Legacy Edition of Grace, and is also on the official Jeff Buckley site, with a recent video made of existing footage of Buckley while alive. This video is also found on the DVD that comes with the aforementioned Legacy Edition.

“I love “So Real” because it’s the actual quartet that you see in that picture right there that you have on the wall, on the album. And that one I produced live ­all one moment, the vocal is the first take, all one take. It was three o’clock in the morning.”

    I like singing Jeff Buckley songs, but I have to do in falsetto in the high parts. I can only hit the highest notes by singing through my nose while inhaling.

    The very first song I heard of him... And it was by accident. A wonderful accident, of course. Until I well fucking die, forever my favorite artist.
