LOVE U RUFUS! u do a 61 yr old hag's heart good! I can't wait til your next concert. U r truly addictive. Just wish, like millions of women, u were a wee bit "Bi"!
this is one of my fave songs off "release the stars"...i've listened to it like a thousand times and i'm still not sick of it! only rufus could make a song like that.
Actually, John Cale recorded the arrangement Buckley is known for, and Rufus essentially covered that. Cohen's version is... very... very different, but obviously brilliant because it's the source of the song we love.
Agreed! Listening to him talk is in itself fun, he's got such a great voice (slightly camp, ultra cute) and then his singing voice is completely different. On his old songs ppl complained that he was too 'nasal' but I really don't hear it anymore at all. I'm in love with his voice no matter what he's doing with it...
anybody have this song on mp3... or some sort of recording? I've been just listening it on youtube like ALL DAY! i got the lyrics & guitar tabs on his msg board :D lol rufus fans are cwazy! LOL including me! PLease let me know anybody!
So adorable in his tucked-in shirt. And such a talent. I was at Sanssouci today. It's quite a place.

Same here. :) I have to say that I prefer this acoustic, wistful version to the album version. Although that one is also fantastic.
