Rufus Wainwright's Ode to Mother

The magnificent Rufus Wainwright has a new collection of painfully personal songs for you to delve into. All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu, available on iTunes today, is soaked in sorrow with chilling vocals. The album was written as his mother was battling cancer, a fight she eventually lost this past January. Whatever you do, do NOT listen to this record on a bridge! The album is certainly not an easy listen, but it's definitely a phenomenal piece of art. Listen to "Who Are You New York?" below. For more classic Wainwright, download "Poses" & "Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk".
