JEFF BUCKLEY - EVERYBODY HERE WANTS YOU

(Buckley)

(1996/1998)

(Not Released)

The first time i heard this song was not this version, it was, in fact, a version from an Australian Idol contestant called Paulini on her debut album. After listening to the song a few times i noticed the writing credit in the CD booklet and sought out the original. The painful, smouldering vocals lead way to a seductive beat and slow guitar strum. Released in 1998, a year after his death, and recorded in 1996, the song is cited as being about then girlfriend Joan Wasser (now going under the moniker Joan as Police Woman). I enjoy the song as it truly shows emotion and is sexy, desperate and compelling all in one.
