The clarinet’s embellishment, the Spaghetti Western phrases, the swells and the diminuendo, and Rufus’s signature raspy voice, that unexpected dip from Rachael’s jazzy vocal technique…this is everything!
Holy cow, this song in this key is so rich and delicious. Rufus' voice has always been like a cello, but here he's hanging on those lower strings. It's a snack and a half!
You all need to do a full album ... please! A couple of my favorite singers and a lovely ensemble. I am glad you are making this music. Our world, our souls, require it!
The acoustic musician in me wants acoustic guitar in lieu of semi hollow electric, but this is the best performance on the channel since Rufus sang a spine tingling version of Natasha 3 months ago. Looks like this take is from that session. Lovely contributions from all performers and great duet work from Rachael. I could listen to Rufus singing a street directory.
How often do the masses get to experience such a beautifully unique collaboration ... yMusic, Rufus Wainright, Ryan Lerman and Rachael Price. I feel my day was blessed.
Rachael is incredibly talented! I've had the pleasure of meeting her dad back in the 90s. Some things obviously run in the family. Big thanks to this channel for sharing these with us.
Whoa, this is spectacular in every way!!! Rufus is my all time favorite singer songwriter, and this duet with Rachael Price, (who I did not know of before this), and these great musicians, it's all just absolutely wonderful!!
Ashamed to say I didn't know the song... but I have a new favourite song now, and a 'new' artist to explore (well, two: RW and RP). Superb arrangement. RW--and you all--must have been delighted with it. Thanks, Ryan, for making all these wonderful things happen. You're a total star!
If I had a nickel for every time Ymusic did a fantastic job elevating artists who covered Careless Whisper on stage together in the 2000s, I'd have two nickels...
No disrespect to the original, but I think this is a WAAAAAY better version. I mean, I love the back-and-forth between Rachael and Rufus. Geez, they could make a whole freaking album of almost anything, and I'd buy it. yMusic takes the arrangement to the next level. If you close your eyes, it's like they are on a Broadway stage. I mean, Rufus's music just has the ability to take you somewhere else for a time. The music build so wonderfully too. They just got this one so right.
This might be my favorite mix of musicians on this channel so far. Wow. Truly beautiful.
Wow, Rufus Wainwright and Rachael Price? And an awesome backing by yMusic? This is so good.

I've honestly never heard such a complex background music setup in a song and absolutely love it !!!
Holy cow, this song in this key is so rich and delicious. Rufus' voice has always been like a cello, but here he's hanging on those lower strings. It's a snack and a half!
This song pops into my head often, especially when I’m trying to quit smoking
This is INSANELY good. A great song to start, and a rare instance when the cover eclipses it.
Rachel Price AND Luke Skywalker!
Love it :)
😂
absolutely insane collaboration of artists. could not have asked for a better combo. 20 seconds in and i have goosebumps
Rachel in Stories!!!
The arrangement, Rachael's vocals, and everything about this is just WOW!
What a treat! Thanks to everyone involved!
Much as I miss the "original" stories, this was pretty darn special. Thanks.

I don’t even know what to say. That’s just … on another level. Each of them is just one of one, now together.

I didn't even recognize the name of the song until Rufus started singing, and I realized I've listened to this album a hundred times.
Hell yeah, Beautiful rendition and wonderfully captured as usual.

Two of my favourite artists together on a song I've always loved, delivered by one of my favourite channels on the tube, It's a really good day. ❤
Rachael is incredibly talented! I've had the pleasure of meeting her dad back in the 90s. Some things obviously run in the family.
Big thanks to this channel for sharing these with us.
will always be in awe of how those two produce peace sonically with their voices
WHAT A TREAT I absolutely love this song, Rufus Wainwright's voice was seemingly handcrafted for this channel's vibe. Love it!
I'm so happy to be here for the "yMusic" era of stories.
I dig the chamber orchestra. More of this. So much color.
Mind blown. One of ultimate songs and singers.

I fell for her 15 years ago
Wow - Rufus and Rachael and stories!
great rendition of a great song
Ingenious presentation of a long-lost fave.
Holy crap, what a group! I knew I'd have this one on loop before I even started it.

wonderful blends of words and voices and instruments, thanks all!
The mix is just superb!!! What a beautiful timbre.
Goosebumps! I hit the like button before the first note!
Amazing combination of their voices! Beautiful rendition!
Pure heaven! :) Thank you :)
underrated performance, brilliant stuff
Wow…beautiful…..loved this song ever since Poses
Yeah. This is a good one
Best as always. Melting..🫠
What a stunning version of one of Rufus's best - bravo! 👏👏👏
Killing and softly in the same time. I really love this!
Totally enjoyed the instrumentals and vocals.
That was mesmerizingly beautiful. Holy F&$k! Wow! I actually got verklempted watching it….
Incredible stuff. On one of my favorite songs!!
Brilliant! Classic yet modern…
I can’t even believe this collab is real.❤❤❤😭😭😭
fan of both, amazing combination along with the ensemble. Great video. thank you.
What a sweet combination of voices!
I’ve always absolutely loved this song. Salty, sweet, funny, sexy…just so unique
Amazing! I love this song so much and that was just wonderful. Love the flute and trumpet action at 2:55 minutes also :)
this warmed my heart
Plenty to say, but.... What an incredible arrangement!!!
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Wow what a powerful duo
Okay. Two timeless voices at once? Ack!
What a Delight!! The Flautist! I believe her name is Alex Sopp. ❤❤❤
Revisited this a lot, really great arrangement.
It sounds like this should be part of a musical or something. Wonderful.
I hadn't heard this before and was expecting a quirky sweet cover of the Oasis song Cigarettes and Alcohol.
Twas good anyway.
Incredible….!!!!!!!
Gorgeous!! ❤
I love this song, and what a gorgeous performance and recording
So much talent up there its scary!
Heavenly beautiful🌟⚡❤️✨Xxx
Woah. Incredible.
Bravo!!
Just wow
loved this!
Yessssss
Perfection
If I had a nickel for every time Ymusic did a fantastic job elevating artists who covered Careless Whisper on stage together in the 2000s, I'd have two nickels...
this stopped me in my tracks. I was memorised
Please have this duo on again
great job guys, keep on doing things like that - ciao from Milano Italy
Wow... Luke Skywalker's so much more talented that I realized.
No disrespect to the original, but I think this is a WAAAAAY better version. I mean, I love the back-and-forth between Rachael and Rufus. Geez, they could make a whole freaking album of almost anything, and I'd buy it. yMusic takes the arrangement to the next level. If you close your eyes, it's like they are on a Broadway stage.

❤️🔥
Rachael brought me here 🥰
big formation ever on stories
Uwooo so beautiful
wow
If the thumbnail had been labeled “ft. Mark Hamill” I would have believed it. ❤
But I would have clicked on Rufus faster anyway;)
Hard to beat Rufus on singing but Rachael did it
ME ENCANTA TÚ MOVIMIENTO DE CABEZA. . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rubber bridge guitars are all the rage these days
Can y'all just do the whole Poses album?
wow this is a very different version. Your voice is still great, a lower key?
Am I the only one getting Ella Fitzgerald vibes from Rachel's vibrato?
I like it in the lower key
Good morning ❤️
Que isso caraaaaa
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Holy smokes, this is di-vine!
Unbelievable.
this is unreal
Does anybody else hear strong hints of Harry Nilsson in the melody?
Jesus, is this song that old now? He went from looking like a boy to a tenured uni professor.
Mark Hamill?
Rufus could shave the grey beard and still look 25.
