  • When in disgrace and luck has deserted me. I sit alone I’m an outcast, and bother God with cries, that fall on deaf ears, i curse my fate,wishing I had this man’s good looks and that man’s friends,dissatisfied with the things I usually enjoy . as I’m thinking these thoughts hating myself, I think about you, and like a lark at daybreak rising up and leaving the earth to sing hymns to God. when I remember your sweet love, I feel so wealthy that I refuse to change places with kings.

  • this is the original " all you need is love"

  • Someone spastic person must have hit the Dislike button by accident with an elbow! This is divine...

  • This is a beautiful sonnet with a beautiful message :) I love how Rufus Wainwright composed it, it's simply gorgeous. And I also love the words in time with the music in this video and the emphasis on love at the end. Just perfect!

  • The timing of the text synchronised with the music works very well and gives these beautiful words their due emphasis- a real aid to understanding - very well done.

  • Heard this in class a few months back. Love coming back every once and a while and listening to it!

  • great video!!!

  • Thank you for the "translation" to contemporary English for us, non-native speakers. Now I understand more though the Shakespeare old English version after about 10th reading and deep thinking was quite ok for me too. Anyway, how wonderful William's verses and how heartfelt Rufus' voice! Two pure geniuses!

  • I love how you did the graphics for this. Well done!
