Oh noes! Friend Midnightstreet sent me this article--one of my favourite artists has died. Hapoo. Here's a quote from Rufus Wainwright, her son:
"as I was saying to her sister Anna last night while sitting by her body after the struggle had ceased, there is never enough time and she, my amazing mother with whom everyone fell in love, went out there and bloody did it. I will miss you mother, my sweet and valiant explorer, lebwohl and adio. X”
Here's one of her best songs: I Eat Dinner
I eat dinner
At the kitchen table
By the light
That switches on
I eat leftovers
With mashed potatoes
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more smalltalk
When the hunger's gone
I eat dinner
At the kitchen table
And I wash it down with pop
I eat leftovers with mashed potatoes
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more smalltalk
When the hunger stops
When the hunger stops
Never thought that I'd end up this way
I who loved the sparks
Never thought my hair'd be turning grey
It used to be so dark
So dark
No more candlelight
No more romance
No more smalltalk
WHen the hunger's gone
No more candle light
No more romance
No more smalltalk
When the hunger's gone
When the hunger's gone
