    magnificent
    It is not about politic. And far to be a doomy song. It is just, using an old Greek legend, a kik to reflect about near reality. And to propose, out of pressures or suggestions or fashions, your answer. The voice of Rufus Wainwright remains the revelation. Each piece, from the clothes to the video images, crowns and the wood table are the fair essential pieces of story. A sort of wake up .

    Rise kindness./ Above all else can be the fundamental message from this magnificent song.
