"Interviewer: You kind of do a farewell, I guess, to Jeff Buckley at the end of some of your recent shows. I know you guys recorded the same song, at one time ― and we're going to play Hallelujah in just a minute ― but you could talk a little bit about him? Who wants to talk about Jeff Buckley? The Edge: He was just an incredible singer. We're big fans of his album, and it's a very special record, and ran into him a couple of times in New York, saw him perform in Sin-é, in New York... Bono: You know Sin-é; have you heard of that place? Interviewer: No. The Edge: It's a small, little club. Bono: It's an Irish-run coffee shop. What are you laughing at? He always laughs when I say the word, 'poetry.' It was a great venue for lots of people; The Pogues, Jeff Buckley, Gavin Friday, and that's what you're talking about, isn't it? The Edge: Yeah, it's a great, little place to somebody in the raw, and he was playing just with acoustic guitar; anyway, just really sad because I think he had an incredible talent, and I was looking forward to his next record, as I'm sure a lot of people were. [Interview pauses as they play Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah] Interviewer: We have U2 here in the studio on 106.7 KROQ, and actually, Bono, you were sort of pointing out something you really admired about Jeff Buckley as a singer, during that last song. Could you share that with our audience, please? Bono: I was just envious; just raw envy. It was just that last coda on that last tune. It's a Leonard Cohen song. Interviewer: Extended note, about 22 seconds. Bono: He lasts, yeah, just 22 seconds of singing without a new breath. It's not important to the outside world, but for me, you know, it's very humbling. Interviewer: Well, the reason I thought it was important is because it was meaningful to you (Bono: "yeah."), and if there's anybody listening to the Jeff Buckley song and appreciative of the comments we made just before that, they can know that Bono was sitting here admiring the very same thing. Bono: Yeah, I was; I was."
