what can i do?- antony & the johnsons and rufus wainwright

i was just listening to i am a bird now by antony & the johnsons and i got to this song and i thought, wait a minute is that jon brion? (incredibly talented composer who composed the eternal sunshine soundtrack.) so i looked it up and it was not jon brion, it was rufus wainwright. i am sadly not very well enough acquainted with his work, but that will be changing as of now. he has a wonderful voice. i realized that recognized his voice from the moulin rouge soundtrack.

this song is so simply, utterly, exquisite.

i am a bird now is an amazing album by the way and his newer one, the crying light, is if possible, even better.
