Tonight, for once, Tim's ghost was not lurking in the rearview mirror. If anything, Jeff seemed at peace with his father's memory for perhaps the first time in his life. Whenever Jeff had mentioned Tim in the past, it was with flashes of irritation or resignation. He sounded as if he were discussing a far-off celebrity, not a father or even a family member. In a way, Tim was barely either: he and his first wife, Mary Guibert, had separated before Jeff was born, and Jeff had been raised to view Tim's life and music warily. But in the past few months, Jeff seemed to have begun to understand his father's music and, more importantly, his motivations. ARIA Charts– Accreditations – 2006 Albums".

Finally, some action had to be taken. Tim came to meet Mary at a coffee shop near her home. What exactly happened remains unclear. Tim never talked to his friends about it, while Anna Guibert, Mary's mother, recalls Tim giving Mary an ultimatum: divorce or abortion. According to Mary, she asked Tim what they should do about the marriage and pregnancy, and he replied, "You do whatever you have to do, baby", and hung his head.On the Triple J Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years, 2013, Last Goodbye was voted third place and "Hallelujah" number 36.

Even before Tim left for New York, his wife suspected he was spending time with other women. "By no stretch of the imagination was this a marriage made in heaven," she says. "He hadn't been faithful to me for very long. And I thought that was perfectly acceptable because, after all, he was so wonderful, and I was so nobody."

Beyond being simply one of the most moving albums of the 90s, Grace branded Jeff as an actual, hype-be-damned talent for the age. The record business was always eager to promote newcomers in such a manner, but here was someone with both a sense of musical history and seemingly limitless potential. Like Bob Dylan and Van Morrison before him, he appeared to be on the road to a long and commanding career in which even a creative misstep or two would be worth poring over. Comparisons with Tim were inevitable, and a disturbing number of fortysomethings had materialised at Jeff's concerts to ask him about his father. But, much to Jeff's relief, the comparisons had begun to diminish with each passing month. Interview with Glenn Hansard". I Am Fuel, You Are Friends. Archived from the original on 25 September 2015 .

Not likely. The reason, some felt, was because he didn't want to be compared to the musician father he barely knew. "He had exactly the same speaking voice as Tim," recalls Tamurlaine, the daughter of Herb Cohen, Tim's one-time manager. She befriended Jeff when he and Mary would visit the Cohen family for dinner. (Cohen and Mary kept in touch after Tim and Mary's break-up.) During those meals, Jeff's vocal and physical resemblance to his father led Cohen often to mistakenly call Jeff "Tim".
