"'''Eternal Life'''" is a song composed by [[Jeff Buckley]] and is track #9 on his album ''[[Grace (Jeff Buckley album)|Grace]]''. It also has a video. It is believed to have been influenced by a long-time love for [[Led Zeppelin]]'s music and a wish to emulate them in this song. The track is something of an exception on the album, featuring aggressive, distorted guitar noises that contrast with the more intimate, low-key format that otherwise characterizes the album. "Eternal Life" can also be found on his 1993 EP ''[[Live at Sin-é]]''. |
