Sorry for pissing on everyone's comments about how amazing Rufus Wainwright is, but as a composer myself, it really hits a nerve when people mistakenly attribute a masterpiece such as this to the wrong composer. Marius de Vries wrote this song, not Rufus. He only performed it. Although he does a GREAT job capturing the emotion that Marius wrote it with.

@Miraclewiizard Rufus wrote this song and has stated that it is a deeply emotional song to him. He also composed it. Obviously, everyone needs help producing and moving themes and parts around, and that's what Marius did, produce and help smooth the song out. But anyway, i'm open to being wrong (sometimes), so please let me know where you seemed to have learned this.

Thanks for the video, my husband put this song on the cd he made for our trip the day he proposed... I have loved it ever since.

Good Memories. Yeah, this song is great. I Wish you guys the best.

This song is massive...and has to be his finest work...but it's a tough call. Genius...no question.

[goldnight]

Absolutely a Genius.

R Wainwright is my lost brother; that is the only explanation for what I feel with this boy's work.

I've been listening to this particular song for over a week, deeply touched. Im so glad there is an artist who actually gives a fluke about Melody!!!! love what he does, i might dare to say he's saved my opinion on "pop"... si jolie découverte :)

@Miraclewiizard I have the album this song is on - "Want One." It was produced Marius de Vries, and the insert states clearly, "All songs written by Rufus Wainwright." Not only that, but in an early documentary on Rufus, Marius talks about the songs on Want One, how Rufus cranked them out with such ease, and how fun it was to play around with them in the studio. As the "goldnight" stated in the previous reply, this song in particular is very autobiographical. He definitely wrote it.

this is so, ridiculously stellar.

His phrasing, breathing, well, just everything about his delivery is such a gift to the World. His melodies stick in my mind and bring me joy all day long. The studio version of Agnus Dei takes my breath away. I've been a fan since his first album. No one like him out there performing with such joy. Love him, his sister, his mother and his father. What a family!

@Miraclewiizard Rufus wrote this song. Marius produced it and its album.

@Miraclewiizard nope Marius produced this song and its album- Rufus wrote it.
