"Grace" is the title track from Jeff Buckley's first album Grace (1994). It was the album's first single, and was also released as a video. The song was performed live by Buckley for a long time before he recorded it, and was on an earlier album he made with Gary Lucas that was released posthumously, called Songs to No One 1991-1992.
Buckley invited Lucas to play on the album, along with "Mojo Pin"; two songs that Lucas had created the main riffs for, and Buckley had expanded upon, making up the "Grace" that you hear on the album, and earlier on Songs to No One 1991-1992; These songs were prominent in gigs around 1991 onwards.
Written about when he moved from L.A. to New York to live with someone he loved, it is about not being afraid of what lies ahead in your life, and taking that leap, in his own words from Live at Sin-é (Legacy Edition), "(It's about) not feeling so bad about your own mortality when you have true love". It is widely considered his best vocal performance.
