  • @samtylermars Aw, I just heard this for the first time and think it's just lovely!

  • absolutely awful, worst song ever written.

  • I uploaded the studio HD version if anyone is interested in hearing it.

    I used a FLAC recording and uploaded it to youtube

  • I can't get this song out of my head for days. I think it's going to be a hit.

  • does anyone know if it is/going to be available for download?

  • you guys don't appreciate genuine talent and real musicians like rufus wainwright who has a fantastic voice and guy chambers who is a genius and they work well together so use your criticisms constructively and see it 4 what it is and not what u want it to be

  • great song lyrics dont have to make sense and be proper all the time , just listen to morrissey in their day johnny marr putting brill music to morrissey,s crazy lyrics but it just works! open your minds a small bit!

  • i think this song is brilliant! i watched the documentry on it been made with rufus and guy composing the song! its not easy to write a song so if you havent done it you should keep your opinions to yourself unless there positive!

  • i think its a great song, very melodic

  • If you take this song into account along with Rufus' repertoire, I feel like the studio track will be a really great representation of his style. I mean, his lyrics are oftentimes conversational, but the song is really pop material - very Rufus. Just with the piano I feel like it's not enough yet.
