- The boys and girls of Millbrook
Are on the train from New York,
Wearing new hats,
Shooting the shit,
Deep in the heart of Dutchess County bounty.
I have now gotten to the state where I must listen to Rufus Wainwright's song "Millbrook" right before going to sleep. For some reason, the song conjures for me images of idyllic and halcyon days, and it calms me so that I fall smoothly asleep without the usual sweaty thrashing about and tossing and turning.
What's especially strange is that I only really like classical music. And my beloved little brother gave me this CD sometime not too long after I moved to Sweden, but I only just pulled it out last week when cleaning up the living room.
Rufus Wainwright is undoubtedly the sexiest man living (aside from the husband). Oh, that voice.
The Swedish phrase for the day is sov så gott. It means sleep well.
