Want Two is the fourth
album by American-Canadian singer-songwriter
Rufus Wainwright. The album was released on
November 16,
2004. Four of the tracks on this album were released in the summer of 2004 as the
EP Waiting for a Want on the
iTunes music store.Want Two is, according to Wainwright, the darker sibling of
2003's
Want One - its subject matter concerned with "the world we live in" (RW Geffen Bio) after Want One's focus on the intensely personal. The artist's song selections here show his range to be broad, veering from romantic
ballad ("Peach Trees") to tragic ballad ("This Love Affair"), sophisticated pop ("The One You Love") to third person/first person narrative lament ("The Art Teacher"), personal tongue in cheek manifesto ("Gay Messiah"), to classical pop hybrid ("Memphis Skyline") and songs beyond category. "Agnus Dei" is used in the trailer for the 2007 film
Trade.
