"The Sky Is a Landfill" is the first track on the posthumous Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk album release by Jeff Buckley. Two live recordings from performances at the New York's Knitting Factory and Arlene Grocery in 1997 can be found online and feature different lyrics.

Written by Buckley and bandmate Michael Tighe, who he had worked with on 'So Real,' the track has a different tone to many songs from his début album "Grace", taking on a heavier, rocky tone.
