Rufus Wainwright - Going To A Town (live)

[iamnawuy]

4 are scared to go on a town :)

[dfsbass]

A former student of mine is singing some of his music at Lincoln Center in New York City in a week or two. Very proud of him. Go, Joshua!! Thank you for this song, Rufus. I am tired of America too.

[Marcilonoliveira]

Uma Obra Prima. PERFEITA!!!

[johnnyjod]

Johnny from Limerick Ireland loves this song your the best ru

[jbueno90]

THANK YOU SO MUCH RUFUS , I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG,THE FIRST TIME THAT I HEARD THIS SONG WAS BY " ISAT CHANNEL" THIS SONG IS REALLY VERY VERY NICE (JUAN BUENO FROM LIMA-PERU)

[marcol68]

WHAT A NECK HENRY!!! hahahahahaha

[MissSophieMusic]

This would be SOO good on broadway omg

[haroos]

ok, i can recognize that he is talented, it's plain to hear.

but i can't stand him, maybe it's his political views, or his whining voice and his preachy manner ... don't know.

but fuck him !!!!

can't stand him.

[eezysqueezy]

Just when I thought Rollins couldn't get any cooler I find out he likes Rufus Wainwright.

Henry and Rufus, I salute you both!

[Maj555]

love his clother - very bohemian

[mountainlinx]

Beautiful! Love it!!

[wildthingymo]

Love his voice. Have a song sung by him on my MP3. Lyrics....'fountain of sorrow, fountain of life' Dunno if that's the title. Can't find it anywhere. HELP,please someone out there

[benjaminkanarek]

This song is absolutely brilliant!

[quikclipper]

Highly significant singer songwriter..cant get his lyrics out of my head..

[evanrkg]

Wonderfully written song

[tsaok123]

Henry Rollins certainly looks like a Rufus Wainwright fan... his chizzled American looks and thick neck all point to it. I can imagine his reaction, "I had a gay guy on my show??"

Rufus ftw!

[Teresa7087]

He is the sexiest gay guy around. I wouldn't kick him out of bed for making crumbs. Such a talent!!!

[onetrashdancer]

Are you sure you have the right guy ? HA HA rufus set me up with sis

[deadweather1]

live and uncut thats they way i like my men

[Menokrozum]

Wat een pokkenlied!!!

[1292mcguire]

Why the hell isn't he writing broadway musicals. They would all be hits.

[toodrunktodream]

I think I read that he has an opera in the works. Pretty close....

[MontgomeryMonteiro]

Rufus had a lot of courage to write a song like this. This song is about intolerance, homophobia and hypocrisy.

[applesomething]

Great performance. Thanks for uploading!

[parsifal3142]

I first heard this song in the show Christian and Oliver (Verbotene Liebe) and even though it was only a few bars, haven't been able to get it out of my head. Just got the whole album from Apple.

The ritard. around 3:23 is absolutely beautiful, so is the chords around the final 'already'.

Truly beautiful things still exist In this often disappointing world where the mundane is too frequently glorified,

[OnyxKing332]

i dont care if people hate him but hes the best singer i ever heard thanks!

[Carinne94]

oh god, i love Rufus and I looove this song

[sarelle500gr]

This song is too addictive..

[epiksonik]

i want to sleep with him

[keflar5]

i learned this on the guitar, i recommend it for learning not just because it is an amazing song but the chord progressions and the chords themselves are not too hard and not too easy

[bellagirl99]

this man is a musical genious, a true inspiration.... I loved what he did with cohen's words on 'I'm your man' ....stunning xx

[Mgl0001]

Amazing song. I love that withe rosed guitar!!

[toodrunktodream]

thanks for your hatred. you're blocked.

[shlee0521]

Words cannot describe how much I love him and his music. If I were to chose only one musician to listen to for the rest of my life I'd definitely chose him. Definitely.

[cantonadenmark]

His voice is incredible....he is one of the few artists who could sing the phonebook in chinese and I would still get a huge lump in my throat...this guy is the shit....

[Woundss]

Awsome !!!

[casse72]

Rufus is probably the most gifted musician of our time. Just incredible!

[charmednz22]

AMAZING. His voice is flawless and that was an overall stunning performance.

[lyllii303]

WOW.. great song and he sounds amazing live.

[therealsolstice]

faggit. hahah just kidding... got caught up in the youtube comment vibe for a second.

he's amazing.

[holydingbat]

i like how when he finds one note to sing, he really sticks to it

[mgperc]

This is the best performance I've seen/heard in a long time. Rufus is an amazing artist.

[fruglescot]

IN MUSICAL PROTEST

Wainright with 'Going to a Town' now adds his name to a long list of great Canadian artists, including

Burton Cummings and the Guess Who (American Woman)

Buffy Saint-Marie (International Soldier)

and Gordon Lightfoot (Black Day in July)

[dazumaz]

...not to forget the obvious Neil Young 'Ohio' (or, for that matter, Bryan Adams 'Native Son'...)

[roarkpickles]

What about Leonard Cohen? (The Partisan, The Future, Democracy, The Old Revolution, The Traitor, etc.)

[manobeats]

um, how bout Joanie Mitchell too.

[marcol68]

@fruglescot Please don't forget RUSH!

[jussjosh]

wooo go ruffie!@

[jesusapalancares]

Interesting... This performance is a little bit different. Thanks!
