[@DylanNaroff]

what a special collaboration, so tender and honest.

[@JasondePlater]

It's remarkable that this song was released in 2003 and his vocal take here is just as incredible.

[@hanymgamal]

Some songs are like jewels in the middle of albums and this is a song rufus hardly performs live. This is the version that's been waiting all these years for this song to come to life. Thank you guys

[@gueneverez]

It’s so haunting and beautiful. One of my favorites . He breaks my heart and also makes it whole

[@natureclips5849]

Could be to do with the fact it’s about Natasha Lyonne

[@Tgodbig]

I felt like screaming it out when he was taking requests..but I knew I was going to like whatever he sang next.

[@Pode91]

I mean, Want One is just a perfect album, and this is only justice. What an incredible singer and songwriter. Congrats to you all.

[@natmtv]

didn't know it was possible for this song to be even more beautiful :,) in love with this rendition, the orchestration is gorgeous and his voice feels so tender in this version

[@acme.videos]

Rufus is a beautiful singer and composer ☺❤

[@gueneverez]

He’s the most beautiful artist of our time

[@recyclops229]

Rufus has such a pure and perfect voice. I could listen to him all day.

[@vivianaronovici9984]

So beautiful...his voice pictures a life...a feeling...superb!!

[@darinhaller6034]

I’ve been a fan of Rufus Wainwright since his first album in 1998. One of the best voices

[@turtleislandlac1490]

Took me a second to recognize that it was Rufus. Amazing job! The title said cover I didn't know the original artist can cover his own song.

[@joshuacolow1287]

Exquisite, gorgeous version. This used to be my baby boy's favorite lullaby. Thank you Rufus and and all of the other fantastic musicians!

[@karinlarsen2431]

Wow! Rufus has the most warm and cozy voice. What a beautiful sound.

[@bowi1332]

I'm impressed he can sing that well while sitting on a chair. 👍👍👍 Such a great artist! :)

[@natureclips5849]

This song 🎵 is about NATASHA LYONNE

[@claumouz]

My favourite male singer, hands down. He is music impersonated. And that voice, so rich and poignant... love him!

[@martingalimany2559]

A day in life Vibes, I LOVE IT.

[@chryssyhunter7140]

One of my absolutely favorite songs by anyone 💗

[@PTosetti]

OMG! 💔 Usually I come here as soon I receive the notifications mostly because of the incredibly talented work of Justin and Ryan. This time you made me cry tears of joy. Thank you!

[@DELARIAS]

Natasha Lyonne🙌

[@gueneverez]

Your music and this song has gotten me through so much

[@gueneverez]

Rufus wainwright you are the most amazing artist and poet of our time and thank you for breaking my heart and also making it whole with your art.

[@rizzofromIndo]

the guitarist's face says it all. that look speaks a thousand words! What a sublime performance.

[@kevinandtheskywriters8648]

that guitarist is Ryan Lerman also a good singer songwriter and multi instumentalist

[@johnthornhill8551]

Marvellous. He is such a talent and this is one of his most beautiful songs!

[@vanblairs4322]

I liked this before I heard it. Such a lovely voice, and a delightful story teller. Thank you, Rufus

[@trublgrl]

I read the title and thought "Cool, a Rufus Wainwright cover!" Then his voice blew me away. I didn't even recognize his face at first, but the sound, my God! I had forgotten how transcendent his voice made me feel. Thank you so much for this!

[@tomrunelian9005]

Incredible❤

[@antemercep8844]

Never heard this song or any by Rufus (will correct that now). This was such lovely surprise, totally blew me away... and his voice is perfect instrument so clean and so full of feelings. Thank you for this.

[@mark6164]

[@吹灯豹]

just beyond everything

[@gustavocortesmunizaga814]

Beautiful

[@crazymcfisch]

Just wow! 🤩

[@wezlam]

Named my son after this lad. He's legendary.

[@CJski]

Poor kid.

[@wezlam]

@@CJski no he's in great health. We aren't rich but we do ok.

[@melanieandrew1799]

Ohhh interesting, slow to start then the chords, nice!

[@gracetori5730]

[@asuncionsanchezludeiro1088]

[@Michael777Simmons]

Awesome. Thanks

[@benwittman3431]

Stunning!

[@catalinabusla1151]

Gorgeous🎉

[@AhmadNasrulQoharIzzuna]

You walk alone in the valley of life In the shadow of love Under the trees of happiness You walk alone like a baby unborn Like a father unknown Like a pocket penniless I'm happy that you really care But do you really know how scary This is for you and is for me? Oh do you really know? Do you really know? Oh Natasha, all I can do Is write a song for you Natasha, oh Natasha for you I sit alone on the cozy ground floor On a bench by the garden waiting also Waiting for love And thinking of all of The catty remarks I also swallow And as I've often asked before Does anybody know how scary This is for you and is for me Does anybody know, anybody know

[@mariajesussanchezliceran2399]

❤❤❤❤❤❤HOLA. gracias por existir. Tu voz llega a lo más profundo del alma.

[@ChristianLoftusMusic]

So good!

[@AxeMoose]

Just wow.

[@silvercoins]

Very very nice

[@amorzinho34080]

Sublime !

[@ragaraf2991]

Can you do Strongest by ina wroldsen

[@metropolis10]

That was absolutely beautiful. Wasn't a fan of the other ymusic colabs but this one really resonated with me! Love orchestral covers with lyrics I guess!

[@edwardjons8684]

His voice is as beautiful as ever, and his songs never fail to make my heart ache. A unique talent.

[@thepolpol5749]

Magical.

[@KerryHallPhD]

wow

[@alexwagenmaker4471]

💖💕💖💕

[@brucesmith4480]

Ymusic with Bruce Hornsby concert in Evanston created noise that sounded worse than when i was walking by Wrigley as Def Leppard played inside and a bus with squeaking brakes was honking at scooter people. Cmon Y mysic! The number peeps wanna see (and pay) you to play weird Platypus is null point null

[@DiegoBello]

For a second there I was amazed to see Luke Skywalker singing :D

[@c.i.demann3069]

I had no idea Luke Skywalker had such a good voice.

[@jacobogarcia5041]

I taught exactly the same hahaha

[@RiverBarbecue]

It just takes cigarettes and chocolate milk

[@pjw2000]

It's kind of crazy to see. He was such a pretty boy in his 20s and 30s. Now he just turned 50, and his presence (and his voice to a certain extent) carries a maturity and weight. Beautiful in a different way.

[@gueneverez]

You are putting down the best musician of this time. Rufus is a poet and the best artist of this century

[@gueneverez]

Rufus has been and done more than you know

[@Fatone85]

Hey is that the guy who sings in Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller ?

[@guellrich]

Yes

[@ccmil555]

somehow.. his voice reminds me of John Denver's voice

[@RiverBarbecue]

Anyone know what soundhole pickup is used in the acoustic? It and everything else was beautiful.

[@zakhobbsmusic]

Galetta

[@natejohnson5897]

Why does Rufus look like he's the W131 professor?

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

As beautiful as this performance was, I'm sorry to say it only left me wanting to hear Rufus' dad's song ... Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road.

[@jaacksoncarroll]

Anyone else think that was mark hamil from the thumbnail at a quick glance?

[@lizbrian5288]

Not I, but Rufus has been my favorite musician since 2016.

[@jleisner1974]

everything he writes sounds like it's meant for Broadway

[@CJski]

Everyone is raving about his voice. That was my least favorite part. So. Much. Nose. Open your mouth dude!
