Jeff Buckley - Madame George (Van Morrison cover)

I remember people crying at school when Jeff Buckley died, just like I remember girls reading poems out in English class about Kurt Cobain. I’m never exactly sure where I stand when it comes to his body of work - some of it is massively overrated; some of it is used as a weapon of terror by “romantic” guys who like to light candles in the bedroom - but his cover of Van’s best/favourite song sure is a transcendent piece of cathartic miserablism.
