Smoke hung in the dim bar light like a gauzy veil. Jeff Buckley sat shrouded in it, a solitary silhouette at a back table, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers as he tried to outrun the noise of his own rising star. Then a voice cut through the haze—aching, pure, and unmistakably singing his words. His head lifted, eyes sharpening in the gloom to find the source: you, on the small stage, turning his private heartache into something public and breathtaking.
