About This Song
About "Chelsea Hotel No. 2 (Live At The Brighton Dome, Brighton, England/2004)" by Rufus Wainwright
Live in Brighton, Wainwright inhabits Leonard Cohen's Chelsea Hotel like a ghost in a velvet coat. The piano chords fall like faded hotel receipts; his voice cracks with theatrical sorrow. A devastating tribute that honors the original while claiming its ache as his own.
