트래디셔널팝의 정통적인 보컬이 담긴 셀프 타이틀 데뷔앨범으로 큰 주목을 받은 RUFUS WAINWRIGHT의 퍼스낼러티가 매력적으로 담긴 200-2004년 공개된 연작 앨범 "WANT ONE", "WANT TWO" 이후, 2007년 새롭게 공개되는 대망의 신작 [RELEASE THE STARS + DVD]반!!! 보다 대중성 짙은 멜로디와 감각적인 가사로 꾸며진 본 앨범은 RICHARD THOMPSON, MARTHA WAINWRIGHT의 게스트로 PET SHOP BOYS의 NEIL TENNANT이 RUFUS WAINWRIGHT과 공동 프로듀서로 참여하고 있다. 지친 삶에 대한 고뇌를 담은 첫 싱글 "GOING TO A TOWN"은 피아노와 기타연주가 차분하게 분위기를 이끌어 주고 있으며 오케스트레이션의 처절한 연주이어지는 "TULSA"는 이번 앨범의 백미라 할 수 있겠다. 추가되어있는 DVD에는 RUFUS WAINWRIGHT의 신곡에 대한 인터뷰와 4곡의 라이브 세션이 포함되어있다. .... ....
Do I disappoint you, in just being human? And not one of the elements, that you can light your cigar on Why does it always have to be fire? Why does it always have to be brimstone? Desire Cool this body down
Do I disappoint you, in just being lonely? And not one of the elements that you can call your one and only Why does it always have to be water? Why does it always have to be holy wine? Destruction Of all mankind
And do I disappoint you? Do I disappoint you in just being like you?
Tired of being the reason the road has a shoulder And it could be argued, why they all return to the order Why does it always have to be chaos? Why does it always have to be wanderlust? Sensational I'm gonna smash your bloody skull. 'Cause, baby, no, you can't see inside No, baby, no, you can't see my soul Do I disappoint you? Do I disappoint you?
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down I'm going to a place that has already been disgraced I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down I'm so tired of America
I'm gonna make it up for all of The Sunday Times I'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes They never really seem to want to tell the truth I'm so tired of you America Making my own way home ain't gonna be alone I've got a life to lead America I've got a life to lead Tell me do you really think you go to hell for having loved Tell me enough of thinking everything that you've done is good I really need to know after soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood I'm so tired of America I really need to know I may just never see you again or might as well You took advantage of a world that loved you well I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down I'm so tired of you America Making my own way home ain't gonna be alone I've got a life to lead America I've got a life to lead I got a soul to feed I got a dream to heed And that's all I need Making my own way home ain't gonna be alone I'm going to a town That has already been burnt down
Won't you walk me through the Tiergarten? Won't you walk me through it all, darling? Doesn't matter if it is raining Won't you walk me through it all?
Even if the sun, it is blazing Even if the snow, it is raging All the elements, we must conquer To get to the other side of town
I have suffered shipwreck against your dark brown eyes I have run aground against your broken down smiles Believe me when I tell you I have no place to go But to go where the wild flowers grow and the stone gardens bloom.
Won't you walk me through the Tiergarten? Won't you walk me through it all, darling? Doesn't matter if it is raining, We'll get to the other side of town.
Haven't fallen down in a while Sitting here walking the line Well that's ok, I ain't no book 'Cause nobody's off the hook
See you looking so sad Trying to live your life in style Well that's ok, you ain't no crook 'Cause nobody's off the hook
I remember you when, looking like a teenager How you have become a man with all the power Running the moon aground Who would ever have thought, hanging with a homo and hairdresser You would become the one desired in every woman's heart But you never will lose, your heart with those little boys
Haven't fallen down in a while, sitting here walking the line Well that's ok, 'cause I have looked And nobody's off the hook
'Cause life will take that little heart, and bring you to your knees Threatening to break it for the final time And you'll believe it, yes, you will believe it But look, nobody's off the hook
You can go out, dancing And I'll write about you, dancing without you And I'll shed a tear between my legs
When you were here, I missed you Now that you're away, I'm out there without you And I shed a tear between my legs
Though we live in the same city, You live in another state far away from me and all of my unfaded charms But when the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle And everybody's packing up their station wagons There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle And we quietly will exit as it all is happening
Again, I'm afraid of one thing, Will I walk away from love knowing nothing, wearing my heart between my legs? But when I know you're naked, lying on the bed while I'm at the piano All I can say is I can't fake it
When the rocket ships all fall, and the bridges, they all buckle And everybody's packing up their station wagons There's a number you can call, like a breast that you can suckle And we quietly will exit as it all is happening again 'Cause there's a river running underground, underneath the town towards the sea, That only I know all about On which from this city we can flee On which from this city we can flee
I will never be as cute as you, according to the board of human relations I will never fly as high as you, according to the board of public citations These are just the rules and regulations Of the birds, and the bees The earth, and the trees, Not to mention the gods, not to mention the gods All my little life I've wanted to roam Even if it was just inside my own home Then one little day I chanced to look back Saw you sittin' there, being a sad culprit These are just the rules and regulations Of the birds, and the bees The earth, and the trees, Not to mention the gods, not to mention the gods These are just the rules and regulations Yeah, these are just the rules and regulations And I like every one, yes I like every one Must follow them
I'm not ready to love, I'm not ready for peace I'm givin' up the dove to the beast I'm not ready to surrender to another glove murderer
I'm not ready to love, I'm not ready to to fly I'm givin' up ?? in the sky So you can take my sin in up above on high, say goodbye
I'm not ready to love, I'm not ready to love I'm not ready to love until I'm ready to love you the way you should be loved Until I'm ready to hold you the way you should be held You should be held, but I'm not ready to
Do I love you because you treat me so indifferently? Or is it the medication? Or is it me?
Do I love you because you don't want me to rub your back? Or is it the medication? Or is it you? Or is it true?
And I better be prominently featured in your next slideshow Because I paid a lot of money to get you over here, you know? And if I am not prominently featured in your next slideshow I don't know what I'm gonna do
Do I love you, or is this feeling just a little pain? A treasure chest is broken easily open And usually I am such a happy prince Behind the iron curtain, the city walls a solid prison
And I better be prominently featured in your next slideshow 'Cause I paid a lot of money to get you over here, you know? And if I am not prominently featured in your next slideshow I don't know what I'm gonna do!
You taste of potato chips in the morning Your face has the Marlon Brando club calling And who would have thought that I'd owe it all to Tulsa? And that fat guy with the green shirt that we both signed together Once he hears the song, won't live it down forever
Your suit was the whitest thing since you-know-who I fear that that savior I mentioned may be you And who would have thought that I'd owe it all to Tulsa? And that poor girl who waited in the rain for hours to meet me (not you, baby!) Once she hears that song, won't live it down completely
And I owe it all to Tulsa, Oklahoma This is just a reminder of the antique shop that I want to go back to and visit when it's open In Tulsa, Oklahoma Just in case you don't appreciate this song about you!
I'm leaving for Paris, no I don't think that I'll see you I'm leaving for Paris, no I don't think that I need to So I'm leaving for Paris, won't you try to take care of yourself? Just you try to take care of yourself, 'cause I'm leaving Yes, I'm leaving for Paris
I pray you won't follow through the crooked streets behind me I pray you won't follow, like so many who I've roamed there So I'm leaving for Paris, don't you try to find out where I am Just you try to take care of yourself 'Cause I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving 'Cause I'm leaving, yes I'm leaving for Paris Goodbye
Who will be at Sanssouci tonight? The boys that made me lose the blues tonight, and then my eyesight All together, playing games of cards Gambling the tiny shards of brass, once my heart Who will be at Sanssouci tonight? I'm lookin' through the window from the garden Waitin' for the call to my hotel room I'm tired of writing elegies to boredom I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight Who will be at Sanssouci tonight? Surely not the one that loves me truly, only He's probably down at the stables, there Gently polishing my cabriolet, only I don't care, I really want to go So I'm opening the door wide to the ballroom Callin' up some dude from my hotel room I'm tired of writing elegies in general I just want to be at Sanssouci tonight Tonight, tonight... The candles seem to all have been blown out Cupid's wings have cobweb rings and no one's about Could it be I came to the wrong place? But I swear I saw them climb the stairs, that sweet mystery Who will be at Sanssouci tonight? It's only when you're outside that you notice Only from the window you can see them Once the door is open, all will vanish Ain't nobody at Sanssouci tonight Tonight, tonight
Why do you keep all your stars in from your studio on Melrose Avenue? You've lost all your assets ?? i n life-long contracts to you Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over?
Oh, can't you see all the good that celebrity can do for those in the dark? Yes of course, I am speaking in metaphors for something more in your heart Didn't you know that old Hollywood is over?

Old Hollywood is over So why not just release the gates and let them all come out? Remember that without them there would be no Paramount No paramount need to hold on to what isn't yours Release the stars
Release the stars, release your love, release the stars Release your love, 'cause Hollywood is over Why do you keep all your stars in from your studio on Melrose Avenue?
[수입] Rufus Wainwright - Release The Stars - 루퍼스 웨인라이트 (Rufus Wainwright) 노래/Geffen 밤 시간대에 어울리는 씨디를 손에 잡히는대로 걸어놓고 소설을 읽곤 한다. 한 마디로 BGM으로 쓰는 건데 내한공연 예매해놓고 한참 플라시보 듣고 있던 중이긴 했지만 그걸 밤에 들으면 심란하고 클래식은 이상하게 집중이 안 되는 경향이 있어서 이걸로 골랐다. 아 근데 더 심란한 거다. 권지예의 소설집 ...
