    "comment": "On August 23rd, 1994, Jeff Buckley released Grace, his only studio album.\n\n\"Grace\" was the album's first single, and it was also released as a video. Buckley performed the song for a long time before recording it, and an early demo appears on an album he made with Gary Lucas that was released posthumously, called Songs to No One 1991-1992.\n\nJeff Buckley wrote the lyrics after saying goodbye to his girlfriend at the airport one rainy day. \"It's about not fearing death, or fearing any of those countless slings and arrows that you suffer sometimes on this Earth, because somebody loves you,\" he said. \"You're not afraid to go.\"\n\n\"And it's just about life sometimes being so long,\" Buckley added. \"At the time I was anticipating leaving Los Angeles for New York. So I was waiting to go. I'm not afraid to go, I'm not afraid to die, I'm not afraid to go away from this place or from any place but it just goes so slow. And I had somebody who loved me in New York. A lot. And it was amazing. It still is.\"\n\nSadly, Buckley's passing came all too soon. https://tinyurl.com/395hmnpu",
