[@FaultyWirestv]

This might be my favorite mix of musicians on this channel so far. Wow. Truly beautiful.

[@JillKnapp]

Holy cow, this song in this key is so rich and delicious. Rufus' voice has always been like a cello, but here he's hanging on those lower strings. It's a snack and a half!

[@BruceJanz]

Wow, Rufus Wainwright and Rachael Price? And an awesome backing by yMusic? This is so good.

[@lunakick12]

The clarinet’s embellishment, the Spaghetti Western phrases, the swells and the diminuendo, and Rufus’s signature raspy voice, that unexpected dip from Rachael’s jazzy vocal technique…this is everything!

[@rahulchakravarti2772]

I've honestly never heard such a complex background music setup in a song and absolutely love it !!!

[@DiegoBello]

Rachel Price AND Luke Skywalker! Love it :)

[@kevinmeachem2138]

😂

[@MichaelColombo]

This is INSANELY good. A great song to start, and a rare instance when the cover eclipses it.

[@CameronBaba]

absolutely insane collaboration of artists. could not have asked for a better combo. 20 seconds in and i have goosebumps

[@avefreetimehaver5154]

Rachel in Stories!!!

[@my3babies255]

Whoa, this is spectacular in every way!!! Rufus is my all time favorite singer songwriter, and this duet with Rachael Price, (who I did not know of before this), and these great musicians, it's all just absolutely wonderful!!

[@markmoore588]

I fell for her 15 years ago

[@jarvis400]

I love Mark Hamill! Didn't know he could sing so well. But seriously, many thanks! Rufus, Rachel and the band. Thanks! This channel is something else! Many thanks!

[@musicislife-sa]

You all need to do a full album ... please! A couple of my favorite singers and a lovely ensemble. I am glad you are making this music. Our world, our souls, require it!

[@Socksonhands]

This song pops into my head often, especially when I’m trying to quit smoking

[@soniamendoza-grey8959]

The arrangement, Rachael's vocals, and everything about this is just WOW!

[@KloderTX]

Much as I miss the "original" stories, this was pretty darn special. Thanks.

[@geekdesprairies]

What a treat! Thanks to everyone involved!

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

How often do the masses get to experience such a beautifully unique collaboration ... yMusic, Rufus Wainright, Ryan Lerman and Rachael Price. I feel my day was blessed.

[@DigitalDiggo]

The acoustic musician in me wants acoustic guitar in lieu of semi hollow electric, but this is the best performance on the channel since Rufus sang a spine tingling version of Natasha 3 months ago. Looks like this take is from that session. Lovely contributions from all performers and great duet work from Rachael. I could listen to Rufus singing a street directory.

[@mikeyboy199199]

Hell yeah, Beautiful rendition and wonderfully captured as usual.

[@katiecan7404]

Two of my favourite artists together on a song I've always loved, delivered by one of my favourite channels on the tube, It's a really good day. ❤

[@jaker4ster]

Holy crap, what a group! I knew I'd have this one on loop before I even started it.

[@osar7664]

I don’t even know what to say. That’s just … on another level. Each of them is just one of one, now together.

[@tomasgarcia2218]

underrated performance, brilliant stuff

[@vavoo4971]

Rachael is incredibly talented! I've had the pleasure of meeting her dad back in the 90s. Some things obviously run in the family. Big thanks to this channel for sharing these with us.

[@metropolis10]

I'm so happy to be here for the "yMusic" era of stories.

[@eb9782]

WHAT A TREAT I absolutely love this song, Rufus Wainwright's voice was seemingly handcrafted for this channel's vibe. Love it!

[@Allen1029]

Ingenious presentation of a long-lost fave.

[@Isabelle1962best]

Pure heaven! :) Thank you :)

[@robbocat7643]

If I had a nickel for every time Ymusic did a fantastic job elevating artists who covered Careless Whisper on stage together in the 2000s, I'd have two nickels...

[@chasedonaway-corbin8273]

will always be in awe of how those two produce peace sonically with their voices

[@acapellacious]

Mind blown. One of ultimate songs and singers.

[@BaltiSean]

Goosebumps! I hit the like button before the first note!

[@Toasterflak]

wonderful blends of words and voices and instruments, thanks all!

[@bobmoshe]

Wow - Rufus and Rachael and stories!

[@trublgrl]

I didn't even recognize the name of the song until Rufus started singing, and I realized I've listened to this album a hundred times.

[@zakhobbsmusic]

Yeah. This is a good one

[@melefth]

Ashamed to say I didn't know the song... but I have a new favourite song now, and a 'new' artist to explore (well, two: RW and RP). Superb arrangement. RW--and you all--must have been delighted with it. Thanks, Ryan, for making all these wonderful things happen. You're a total star!

[@melefth]

The mix is just superb!!! What a beautiful timbre.

[@claumouz]

Amazing combination of their voices! Beautiful rendition!

[@shujumi]

Best as always. Melting..🫠

[@Kawinnthip]

Killing and softly in the same time. I really love this!

[@sheercerebralpower]

Wow…beautiful…..loved this song ever since Poses

[@guellrich]

What a stunning version of one of Rufus's best - bravo! 👏👏👏

[@hoaiphuongalex]

I love this song

[@JeanneHaegele]

Amazing! I love this song so much and that was just wonderful. Love the flute and trumpet action at 2:55 minutes also :)

[@mattpitts3205]

fan of both, amazing combination along with the ensemble. Great video. thank you.

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Totally enjoyed the instrumentals and vocals.

[@jonstein6868]

Brilliant! Classic yet modern…

[@Guitarrulez]

Absolutely beautiful ❤

[@windowcleaningsbyjR]

Wow what a powerful duo

[@spencergellsworth]

Incredible stuff. On one of my favorite songs!!

[@irini_triantafyllidi]

[@alliemoss]

I love this song, and what a gorgeous performance and recording

[@tonygaskins3254]

That was mesmerizingly beautiful. Holy F&$k! Wow! I actually got verklempted watching it….

[@demerson109]

[@joshuajones7613]

[@dkerlee]

[@KJB802]

Revisited this a lot, really great arrangement.

[@steveschmitz2839]

Bravo!!

[@JoeLouisMusica]

[@edwardsmith-rowland2852]

It sounds like this should be part of a musical or something. Wonderful.

[@clararodriguez-chaves6612]

Heavenly beautiful🌟⚡❤️✨Xxx

[@juniperevergreen8320]

Perfection

[@KateMondor]

What a Delight!! The Flautist! I believe her name is Alex Sopp. ❤❤❤

[@Megfo2000]

I can’t even believe this collab is real.❤❤❤😭😭😭

[@MegaConnieb]

Just wow

[@christianpark539]

I’ve always absolutely loved this song. Salty, sweet, funny, sexy…just so unique

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Okay. Two timeless voices at once? Ack!

[@JM-jj6ht]

Please have this duo on again

[@ecdm21music67]

Yessssss

[@WalterMuto]

great job guys, keep on doing things like that - ciao from Milano Italy

[@kathybramley5609]

I hadn't heard this before and was expecting a quirky sweet cover of the Oasis song Cigarettes and Alcohol.

[@kathybramley5609]

Twas good anyway.

[@davidtarvin8858]

No disrespect to the original, but I think this is a WAAAAAY better version. I mean, I love the back-and-forth between Rachael and Rufus. Geez, they could make a whole freaking album of almost anything, and I'd buy it. yMusic takes the arrangement to the next level. If you close your eyes, it's like they are on a Broadway stage. I mean, Rufus's music just has the ability to take you somewhere else for a time. The music build so wonderfully too. They just got this one so right.

[@markmoore588]

Rachael brought me here 🥰

[@SuperMarianoj]

Uwooo so beautiful

[@KERINAHiN]

big formation ever on stories

[@bigsarge2085]

❤️‍🔥

[@SharlaRaePlays]

this stopped me in my tracks. I was memorised

[@c.i.demann3069]

Wow... Luke Skywalker's so much more talented that I realized.

[@marianmartinez1494]

wow this is a very different version. Your voice is still great, a lower key?

[@MariajesusSanchezLiceran]

ME ENCANTA TÚ MOVIMIENTO DE CABEZA. . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@eaglesfan815]

Can y'all just do the whole Poses album?

[@blinkofani07]

Am I the only one getting Ella Fitzgerald vibes from Rachel's vibrato?

[@wilhelminaangelote158]

Good morning ❤️

[@Teresaisall]

Hard to beat Rufus on singing but Rachael did it

[@JesseClaus]

If the thumbnail had been labeled “ft. Mark Hamill” I would have believed it. ❤ But I would have clicked on Rufus faster anyway;)

[@benbettsmusic]

I like it in the lower key

[@alexwagenmaker4471]

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@igbatious]

Rubber bridge guitars are all the rage these days

[@henriquedmf]

Que isso caraaaaa

[@dograin]

Unbelievable.

[@i.will.pulverize]

Mark Hamill?

[@rodolfmo]

Why did you edit away from Rufus high note????? 🙄

[@adrechsel]

Holy smokes, this is di-vine!

[@dipperdandy]

Jesus, is this song that old now? He went from looking like a boy to a tenured uni professor.

[@scottkempton6085]

Does anybody else hear strong hints of Harry Nilsson in the melody?
