Jeff Buckley - "Forget Her"

Jeff Buckley had only released one album before his untimely death. The album was 'Grace' and it was a masterpiece. As good as the posthumous releases were, he wasn't satisfied with them and was about start over again and record his follow up album. Which does prove that he was a perfectionist because there was some great material from those scrapped sessions. The second album proper, could have been something quite brilliant... such a shame. Although, I was lucky enough to see him live at the St James Theatre in Auckland. "Forget Her" was recorded during the 'Grace' sessions and was omitted from the album in the eleventh hour. It was replaced by "So Real"... which turned out to be one of the highlights for me. "Forget Her" was finally available on the 'Grace : Legacy Edition'.
