Last Goodbye，Jeff Buckley的这首高难度歌曲，是对我大学的感情生活和听音历程的一个阶段性总结，对我个人而言有着特殊的意义。临走之前，挑战了一下，好歹把它唱下来了，并花费了一些恼人的棚时来进行简陋的录音和粗糙的混音。“知其不可为而为之”，当然是干了一件傻事。我承认我嗓音条件有限，唱不好这首歌，但它封装了那样的一个实实在在的自己，因此还是决定把它保留下来。如果您觉得实在难以忍受里面的那个人声，敬请自觉掐掉/忽略/无视，谢谢！

说到这曲音乐本身，虽然像Super Furry Animals、Arcade Fire这类花样百出的独立小团层出不穷，但我还是认为只有Jeff Buckley才是代表了另类摇滚的最高境界。他将jazz rock、brit-pop、post-rock、grunge、metal等元素熔于一炉，而且完完全全为其表达服务，与乐思结合得非常融洽，尤以现场演出堪称一绝。和黄家驹一样，他也是一个天生的歌手，只可惜英年早逝，如流星一般短暂地燃烧，继而陨灭。Jeff Buckley是我眼中的最后一个美国人。

歌词：
Last Goodbye - from "Grace" (1993)

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then i'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn't know him at all
You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it's over... it's over
