Low-Grade Happiness Lyrics

Cover art for Low-Grade Happiness lyrics by Rufus Wainwright

The first time Rufus performed this song for an audience was the very first concert of his I attended (or at least that's what he told us) so it has a special place in my heart.

I remember him saying it was about when you have every reason to be happy, but still aren't able to bring yourself there. It's heartbreakingly beautiful.
