Rufus Wainwright
Little Sister
Discuss.
Ok, I'll go first
This song is one of favourites on this album and I'm a little surprised it hasn't been discussed at all yet.
Little Sister grabbed me quickly becomes I love baroque music so the music pleased me but I loved the story in the song.
I always smile when I play this song because it conjures up images of a young Rufus with one of his sisters with feet dangling from a piano bench beside him. He's imparting secrets of himself and life to her and she's enraptured and he's a scoundrel in a powdered wig and tights.
I just love it. Call me crazy.

so great
i really like this song too! the first time i heard it i was kind of like whoaaaa and had to re-start it because i totally didn't expect it to begin like that! i was thinking what the... did i put classical in by accident? haha
i can definitely relate to the song even if i'm not a boy and the lyrics are sometimes hard to interpret.
i can relate on a literal level hehe. i have a little sister (2 years younger) and we both play piano, so the image of us sitting there together when we were little popped into my head.
i remember i started learning when i was 5 and she was still too young, but wanted to learn too just because i was, but my parents said she had to wait!
so she would sometimes do this annoying thing where she would stand at the end on the right side of the keyboard where the highest notes are and watch me practice, and then she would just start plunking her fingers down on random keys while i was playing!! it drove me absolutely mad! and those were the rare times my mom would actually take MY side in a fight against my sister and tell her to stop bothering me! hahahahaha
we only ever played a duet once in our lives and that was when our feet didn't quite reach the pedals yet! hehe.
