"Everybody Here Wants You" is the second track on the posthumous Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk album release by Jeff Buckley. It was written as a love song for Joan Wasser, his girlfriend at the time. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 88 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years". Kylie Auldist recorded a cover version with The Bamboos for the album "Just Say" (TRUCD159) as did the French band MIG (vocalist: Djazia Satour) on their 2004 album Dhikrayat and Lewis Taylor on his 2000 album Lewis_II. The single was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance at 41st Annual Grammy Awards in 1999.
