Rufus Wainwright - I Don't Know What It Is Lyrics

Ty for upload but quite a few skips in the track, quite unfortunate.

Splendid tune, I don’t know what it is about it....

verry, nice number great voice love it

This song reminds me of the fall. It reminds me of years in my past. It reminds me of falling love with a beautiful woman. We had a great love affair that unfortunately ended. But this music reminds me of that time. And that’s just fine by me.

It is only within the darkness of the storm that the angels voice can be heard off the echo's of a broken Moon.
K.Standfield

I liked this song when it first came out but I found it over produced to the point of opulence. The version of just Rufus and his piano is far superior.

Rufus is like the best Belgian chocolate; you don't rush it, you sit down, savour the moment, slowly eat it and as the rich taste fills your mouth you think you're in heaven, then when you're finished, you think: Phew! that's ever so rich, I had better not take any more or I will make myself sick, so you wrap it up, put it in your pocket, till the next time...

I understand Wainwright has been around for a pair decades. I also understand that I didn't gravitate toward him twenty years ago, not because I wasn't ready but because I sensed I'd really need him to be something new in 2018. And he is. For me he is an utterly new artist who is making my heart race. That hasn't happened since I found Dylan in my teens and Sarah Vaughan in my twenties and. From 30 till today (54) that particular heart has lain dormant, believing it was deceased. // p.s. In the comment below, "surly proof" is of course a typo -- which is kind of a shame. I love the idea of surly proof.

Testify!! I have the same physical reaction when i listen to this man. He is incredible.

My friend David speaks of poems that take the top of your head off. For me, this means a lot of Emily Dickinson's poems. The feeling I get from some Wainwright songs is more like my chest is being opened (with some, but not enough anesthesia) for heart surgery performed by a surgeon with one shining hand and one dark cloudy hand. For example, in the refrain of "Poses" those whole notes on "You said, "Watch my head about it" that collapse into that pitiful series of "Oh nos" -- brilliant, absolutely brilliant. // I wonder about the demographics at a Wainwright concert. I really hope the audience is not all gay men like me. Still it also has to be said that there is a personal dimension that comes into play if, like me, you grew up longing in vain for the radio to sing love songs clearly addressed to you and that guy in your class that you had a crush on. It was not just a random mishearing when at the age of 10 I heard "knocking on Kevin's door" instead of "knocking on Heaven's door." // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94gQrv-gWs4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEj55WyLzLg&t=3s

Bellissima canzone!!

Oh man! I heard this once over the sound system in HMV fifteen years ago and never found out what it was except that it was Rufus Wainright! Finally found it!

My song too x

When I Heard this the first time I couldnt Believe my ears , It was that good . I love Rufus .

Go see him if it is ever possible.  I have 3 times and it's just the greatest thing!!

I have begged him to come to Sweden , but he hasnt answered

one of the best songs ever written

I cannot concur with this sentiment enough to express my wholehearted agreeability with its robust correctness.

And the Harvey girls reference is amazing and only a true Judy fan would recognize the nod!! "I was hoping the train was my big number docking the Santa fe and the Atchison Topeka"

I always loved that reference!

My favorite...

Definitely of this century. As good as the best Freddie Mercury pieces

sigh....

This is my song....

no this is my song , ha ha

I don't think this song is dark or depressing. I just send this to a really hot young lady I met at Ikea. Fingers crossed that she's into it.

Well was she?!!

Cause if she didn't she wasn't the one

You guys still together?

This song surely has something special. The way it flows is magic. Pure talent!!!

Puro talento !!!!!!

Rufus Wainwright's music is surly proof that the mainstream will never acquire a taste for good music.

Stan Andrus Surly Poofs are my favourite
