Rufus Wainwright

Post by atrixa »

Anyone else a fan?

I adore his version of Hallelujah- he has such a beautiful voice. I love some of the songs he wrote himself, like Sansouci.

He is very interesting. I first heard him doing a Beatles cover on the I Am Sam soundtrack (which was great, by the way.)

One of my favorite songs of his is "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk," from the album Poses, which is my favorite album of his. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert back in 2001/2002 and have loved him ever since.

I haven't listened to him in a long time, but I really do like him. I'll have to listen again. I do like Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk. I remember his father, but again it's been a while.

"Hallelujah" is amazing. His version is my favorite by far.

Hallelujah is still a song that gives me chills and every once in a while Ill find myself belting out the lyrics for no reason. Its a fantastic song.
