"Lover, You Should've Come Over" is my favorite Jeff Buckley song.

I've been a fan of Jeff Buckley ever since those music-forming high-school years, and I'm grateful for whoever put Grace into my ears for the first time - you know who you are.

One time I was gushing over some random Jeff Buckley anecdote with my wife. She was doing her nodding along routine that's actually a shrug in disguise and I wasn't impressed with the amount of attention she was giving me.

So I asked her in exasperation:

"Do you even know how big of a Jeff Buckley fan I am?!?"

And I think I saw her response roll around her eyes before it exited her mouth,

"I'm aware. You named our dog Buckley..."

So when I was finishing up the production of "Sympathy" (out on March 22nd, pre-save on Spotify here), I thought something was missing.

And for some reason, the intro instrumentation to "Lover, You Should've Cover Over" popped into my mind.

And I thought an homage to the late Jeff Buckley would be a perfect way to start the song.

So I called on one of my favorite musicians, Ed Charles. 

I half-explained my idea, rambled on about Jeff Buckley, and then had a side-tangent about random instruments and reverb settings.

After a little bit of back and forth, he produced a beautifully melancholic intro to the song which you'll get to hear next week.

Until then, Ed Charles is continuously doing great work and you can catch up with all of his new releases on Spotify right here.
