Rufus, I just wanted to check up on you because I haven't in a long time, and I'm very happy to say that like a fine wine, you have only improved w/time from your voice down to the grace in your face, love you:)
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
wow, this guy is some talented, reminds me a lot of like a piano playing version of jeff buckley... of course minus like 2 octaves of vocal range but still! I'm definitely buying some of this guys cds
HELLO EVERYBODY the hope of one is my hope of hope itself =) maybe you'd like to help a little fighter I’m trying to be a singer like million else But I am different I promise that... if u give me a chance i'll show u I am 17 years old and dream to have listeners of all ages love the thing I do.. please stop by my channel and check out my cover anyone who reads this could just press the "THUMBS UP" other people will see it. Thanks For Helping Make My Dreams Come True !!! :)))))) Lots of love XD
There are about 7 billion people on earth. People are born homosexuals. It's a medical fact. Roughly 10% of males and 5% of women are homosexuals. That's 1.5 billion men and women. It’s safe to say homosexuals are very common. There’s no doubt God intended it to be that way. Religions are man made and vary dramatically. Any particular set of rules is irrelevant. There is no reason why gay people should not feel free to be as spiritual as they please.
@gladw2c thanx for your understanding ...we gay people were just waiting for such compassion...oh and thanx for having explained us why we should feel free and spiritual as we please....oh i know i know...you find it disgusting but your heart is kind and you're a free spirit....o.k...o.k...peace!!!!!....i understand your point and your feelings.i just think you're sustaining the wrong argument on the subject...beware: being gay is something you catch the moment you start thinking about it!

@ladyunebarton "A dogie is a calf (young cow) that has no mother. Git along little doggie is a phrase shoutted out by cowboys while hearding cattle." urban dictionary.
In order to appreciate the meanings in this song, you should see the movie it was written for - Brokeback Mountain. It's a love song of two cowboys, but the love of one cowboy is not reciprocated in a way he desires it, which is the subject of this lament.
@DVCourt88 i'm pretty sure he's sing from a homosexual christian's point of view. that he's not allowed to love who he want's; so he's sad, but God comforts him. now listen to the song again. it will make sense. it sounds like your description is for Jack but i'm pretty sure it's for Ennis because it's played at the credits and Jack is already dead... just listen to it again =] it's hard to have good reciprocity when you live three states away and there's that risk of murder in Ennis' defense.
english is not my mother language. i like this song soo much and i'm trying so hard to understand its meaning+and i'm getting confused :-/ (need some views or smthing) can anyone help?
@ifyoucantfixit i'm sorry about your friend but i'm glad you were able to find some sort of peace through wainwrights music :) i believe that's what its really for
Beautiful song by a supremely talented man. Rufus is actually American by birth. Born in New York state. His dad, Loudon, is a famous American folk singer. His mother was Kate McGarrigle, another famous folk singer, and a Canadian who died in January of 2010. Rufus lived with his mother and sister in Canada, after his parents divorced when he was 3 or 4. So, perhaps he holds dual citizenship, but he was born in the US and now lives in NYC.
@ska8remo15 Well, the song was made for the movie "Brokeback Mountain" so, evidently it talks about the relationship between two guys and how it is incorrect to the eyes of the Maker (god). It also talks about all the barriers the society settles (the chain he breaks) and how they have to pretend to be happy with their lives (the smile he fakes). It uses the name of "The Maker" in a sarcastic meaning, telling that he is the only one who can make them happy. Really sad song. Sad. Sad.
This will be played on Continental Drift, 10radio.org Sept. 3, 5:30 to 7 pm in the UK, 9:30 to 11 am in California and BC. For playlist, see wendelinn.
Such a beautiful, heart-felt song, with that bitter sting of irony in the "only can the maker make a happy man of me" part. This suits the film so well
He isn't "unknown". He isn't played on pop radio stations. But that doesn't make one unknown. Rufus sells out venues and is very successful. It's a testament to the idiotic tastes of the masses, that is he is not more "popular". Which is what I assume you meant by "unknown".
Where is he from? Ireland? Gah... can his songs be more beautiful? I can't believe how unknown he is! I mean... I discovered him today... how is it possible that such an amazing artist is not known... <3
@turophileanachronist Rufus Wainwright is from Montreal... his mother was of the McGarrigle Sisters, awsome singers alsom from Montreal... She died recently... google them up you may recognize some old tunes..
simply lovely.
