@gomezz Rufus is a classically trained musician. He is an avid fan of opera and studied piano at Concordia and McGill Universities in Montreal. Many times art inspires art so it isn't a surprise that you recognized some similar progressions. He even copies the lyrics in one song directly from the opera, Macbeth by Verdi. I personally think he is an amazing talent and I respect him greatly. I have many friends in the music community and I know 1st hand how difficult it can be to get in.

@MoonHoplite hm.. I find what you're saying quite impossible O.o ... Not many "immature teenage girls" even know who he is. And who cares if they think he is cute.. He is. Can't change that. But also in my opinion his music is very beautiful. It speaks to people really.. I just don't think you should go labeling his fan base. Every person who enjoys his music is of every age I do believe, and I think I'd have to say the "immature teenage girl" fan base would be the lowest.

Boring. . .

@gomezz Well I imagine that those pieces influence him. He is known for listening to those type of things. I know at the end of "between my legs" you can clearly hear a bit of phantom of the opera.

i don't know why but when i'm listening to rufus i always get the feeling that i've already heard the harmonies he uses somewhere else.. maybe on classical music.. chopin? schubert? i don't know... i came here to see if anyone felt the same but i guess not. anyway, terrific song
