    Rufus, how can we all thank you for this music? I'm a 67-year-old fan who has awful things happen to me over the past 12 years. I've lost everyone I've loved to terrible deaths. It's like the world has vanished. But then last month I stumbled onto your music, totally out of the blue, and I feel so blessed. You speak to eternal truths with such depth, such honesty, such insight and such beauty. God bless you for being you. I feel I can breathe again.

      beautiful words Wayne. I am sorry for your loss. Rufus brings me words during pain and at night when no other siren can . Caves and mountains darkness and hurt his music shines through. I have played this one regularly in times of sadness and total joy. in fact this song is total joy and triumph

      I don't think he's comfortable performing it any more. Many have those moments of life, and the power of this song is in it's emotion and honesty, where we can't entirely revisit.

      Thank you for the bitter knowledge
      Guardian angels who left me stranded
      It was worth it, feeling abandoned
      Makes one hardened but what has happened to love
      You got me writing lyrics on postcards
      Then in the evening looking at the stars
      But the brightest of the planets is Mars
      Then what has happened to love
      So I will opt for the big white limo
      Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels
      You can't be trusted with feathers so hollow
      Your heaven's inventions, steel eyed vampires of love
      You see over me, I'll never know
      What you have shown to other eyes
      Go or go ahead and surprise me
      Say you've lead the way to a mirage
      Go or go ahead and just try me
      Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers
      Fell off the hay bales, I'm over the rainbows
      But oh Medusa kiss me and crucify
      This unholy notion of the mythic power of love
      Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
      Forget about the ones that are crying
      Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
      Forget about the ones that are crying
      Go or go ahead

      Me too! Was already looking forward to it when he started his crystal meth story. Hey, why hasn't Rufus been host+musical guest on SNL? He'd be perfect! If you're still checking back here for replies, pass it on!
      Crazy thing is: I was literally just about to watch last night's SNL, and just had to watch this Rufus Wainwright clip that popped up, so I did a bit of a double take when I saw this comment :-)
      What I was going to post before that was
      This is such a great song, and that "look in her eyes" part is real goosebump stuff. Went and got the "Want 1" CD immediately after seeing RW on Letterman, and then got the "All I Want" DVD when that came out - where I think this performance was on the bonus disc? It's an awesome performance with the big band, and I must admit I felt *slightly* cheated when I later saw him live with just a four-piece band. Got me an autographed "Want 2", though, so it was a good night all told. I just have a particular fondness for the grandiose arrangements, with backing singers and the whole deal.
      I like lots of what he's done since (very much including the latest one - go check it out everyone!) but "Want 1" is still my go-to Rufus record. It's got a lot of the tender, croonery stuff, but it's also got some honest-to-god Epic Rock energy to it, like U2 meets Queen or something. Maybe "Gay Meat Loaf"? No, that sounds disgusting and bigoted. But songs like this, "Beautiful Child", "14th Street" and "I Don't Know Where It Is" have a certain kind of bombastic swagger that I haven't really heard enough of on the subsequent albums.
      Anyway, if your're still reading this, Melissa*, I'm going to watch the latest SNL now, and I'm looking forward to seeing you share the screen with mad billionaire spaceman Elon Musk. :-)
      * I obviously presume not, as I'm responding to a comment from 12 years ago. In fact I'd be mortified if she were. Nevertheless, the odd coincidence of having SNL cued up and her naming my favourite bit of the song, combined with the great music I hadn't heard in a while, just inspired me to ramble a bit. Does that make me a stalker now? I guess that's for the courts to decide, but I'm taking my chances.

    My favourite song...ever? Not sure, but one of the most beautiful, uplifting songs I´ve ever heard. There´s something very spiritual about it, but maybe that´s just the way I interpret the lyrics (and the soaring refrain). Thanks, Rufus!

    Rufus is the best vocalist and melodist alive today. Orchestration! How perfectly tuned the frequencies are! Auffffff!!!! That's 7 years in the playlist. ♥️ from Russia

    This song has such a great climax, but I just think it has such a beautiful build up too.

    Hard to follow this , extremely amazing lyrics to die for from one of the worlds top musicians. So good to catch up with Rufus here after a long stretch of mediocre music in the worlds' music industry. I honestly don't think that we will ever see the likes of this guy again in our lifetimes..I sadly regret the loss of my hero Scott Walker but thanks to u tube we can all catch up with the Wainrights and the Scott Walkers of this world that truly give and have always given superb top class music. This song always brings a lump to my throat as indeed so does 'Joanna' from my early hero , Scott Walker

    So powerfu. I really loved this song, because is a desperate claim for help because he is just about to give up and he's looking for two: the angels or medusa, so he's demanding them to go or go ahead and help/kill him. But at the end he is asking to be saved by his angels and surprise him with a beautiful life he can witness with his eyes. I LOVE THIS SONG.

    this performance is better than his studio version
    Elton John encouraged him to go to rehab.
    This song is basically telling us that: everyone needs support.
    I love this song dearly
    Thanks for this bitter knowlege Rufus!

    HANDSOME DEVIL, the gay themed/rugby/ Prep School film brought me here as well and this song is so appropriate to the entire theme of the film with problems we must face head on.
