Jeff Buckley’s Grace is one of my favorites, but Eternal Life is always kind of a drag imho. It has the makings of a good song but very unlike the rest of the tracks on the album it doesn’t feel quite complete.

thats actually my favorite song, on an album that is also one of my favorites. it definitely hits different than the rest of the album so i can see that its not for all fans of grace. i like that its a kick after the emotional rollercoaster that is the first 8 songs and then gets followed by 1 more subdued song to end it.

my dad would play grace a lot in the house when it came out and I think i may have latched on to it as it was the most similar to what i was listening to on my own at the time, eventually the whole album became a warm comforting blanket

It’s not a bad song at all, I think it’s just a bit rough in a few of the transitions and that’s probably just because this was his first solo album. The entire album is a testament to how skilled of a songwriter he was.
