Today's Guardian has this:

This month sees the 10th anniversary of the death of Jeff Buckley. The singer-songwriter, who drowned at the age of 30, has seen his popularity increase since his passing and a retrospective of his work - the first - is soon to be released. To commemorate the anniversary, we have exclusive footage of Buckley talking about his inspirations and an alternative video to his much-loved version of Hallelujah.

Cheers

Thank you so much for posting this, ThoughtCat; and to you, Laura,for bringing it to the fore. Even if you didn't know the outcome of this sombre, young man's life, this would still be very moving. It appears that he may have choked up at one point, possibly two, as he sang. If not, Jeff just gave a very emotional delivery. If I didn't already know differently, I would think that Jeff had written "Hallelujah" for himself. This is a priceless piece of footage for Buckley fans. I can understand why his is so many people's favourite cover. I'm very grateful to have seen this. Thanks, again.
