from Oannes Songs Of Childhood Nostalgia #41

Το μελωδικό – στιχουργικό ταλέντο και ο ρωμαλέος συναισθηματισμός του Rufus Wainwright τον αναδεικνύουν σε ένα από τους top singers – songwriters, από το ξεκίνημα της νέας χιλιετίας.
Εδώ τον ακούμε να αναπολεί τον “κοριτσίστικο” έρωτα του για τον καθηγητή τέχνης στο σχολείο.
Τραγούδι από το άλμπουμ του, ‘Want Two’, 2004

✻

Rufus Wainwright‘s melodic – lyrical talent and robust sentimentality make him one of the top singer – songwriters, since the beginning of the new millennium.
Here we hear him reminisce about his “girly” love for an art teacher at school.
A song from his ‘Want Two’ album, 2004.

❝ There I was in uniform
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
He was not that much older than I was
He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was,
But never could I tell it was him
Oh, I wish I could tell him,
Oh, I wish I could have told him
I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
I liked the John Singer Sargents
He told me he liked Turner
Never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man
All this having been said,
I married an executive company head
All this having been done, a Turner, I own one
Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
Thinking of the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
No, never have I loved any other man ❞
