You don’t have to look far to see the viciousness of this world. Just turn on Fox News any hour of the day or night. Or climb through whatever portal suits you best to connect to populations seething with hate and fear. Social media is drowning in it.
I got into Rufus Wainwright through his father Loudon Wainwright III who obviously couldn’t bear the thought of saddling his son with IV. My favorite collection of Rufus’s work is called Want One. This song is gorgeous enough to make up for at least some of the viciousness in this world.

Thought that maybe we’d fall in love over the phone
Thought that maybe I’d really love being alone
Everybody but heaven knows how I was wrong
Thought that maybe I’d really love being alone
Everybody but heaven knows how I was wrong
Oh Lord what have I done to myself
In the vicious world, such a vicious world
There isn’t anything you can do
In this vicious world
In the vicious world, such a vicious world
There isn’t anything you can do
In this vicious world
Sucking on the ice, making eyes all by myself
Didn’t realize you were so top of the shelf
Just you wait and see when you turn, turn 23
Didn’t realize you were so top of the shelf
Just you wait and see when you turn, turn 23
Oh Lord what have I done to myself
What have I done to myself?
In this vicious world, such a vicious world
There isn’t anything you can do in this vicious world
What have I done to myself?
In this vicious world, such a vicious world
There isn’t anything you can do in this vicious world
