my new favorite romantic dead singer is jeff buckley.... he drowned in the river in memphis 

made only a couple albums and sang leonard cohen's song halleluja ......i used to love rufus wainwrights version better but since have changed my mind and now love his  even better ,,,its the most heart breaking .... and it is a piece of art... which i am trying to match.. but dont think i have yet....
