Damsel in distress es la segunda pista y primer single del disco Unfollow the rules de Rufus Wainwright (2020). La canción es un homenaje a Joni Mitchell.
"Mi esposo y yo ahora vivimos en Laurel Canyon. No estaba tan familiarizado con la música de Joni, pero Jörn se obsesionó y me sumergió en su música. Terminamos conociéndola y pasando un rato con ella y ahora entiendo por qué es una de las grandes. Así que el tema es mitad Laurel Canyon y mitad una canción sobre una relación personal que estoy tratando de aceptar, pero sobre todo, trata sobre la perdida de mi virginidad con respecto a Mitchell", explica Wainwright.
Estreno del vídeo oficial, animado por Josh Shaffner, el 27 de febrero de 2020.
OficialLetra
Will you forever be a damsel in distress
Will you forever be a harbinger of loneliness
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky
Will you forever be wandering the wall
Looking for what you see
Your father's face in a waterfall
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon within the Chelsea sky
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?
Who do you think I am? A traveler on the wind?
I am a prince of man who was raised to soon be king
All I can do is fight
All I can do is wright
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon there I learned to survive
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
But what the hell is that?
I hope you find your way for the sake of what we've lost
And that there comes a day
When you realize the precious cost
Yes, I remember smiles
Yes, I remember wiles
Behind the Square of Sloan
Under the English moon you in your disguise
So much
You got exactly that
You got exactly what you wanted
What the hell is that
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
Will you forever be
A damsel in distress
