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… - Rufus Wainwright

Nothing eviscerates the ego like becoming a parent. For a pop star, that’s not the easiest thing. But it’s led to a complete realignment of priorities for me. Now what happens to my daughter is far more important than what happens to me. And these days it’s not even just my child who is more important than me – it’s all children.

Why am I always on a plane or a fast train?
Oh what a world my parents gave me
Always
Travelin' but not in love.<p>Still I think I'm doin' fine
Wouldn't it be a lovely headline?
Life is
Beautiful on a New York Times.

And you will believe in love
And all that it's supposed to be
But just until the fish start to smell
And you're struck down by a hammer.
