(2009) | This album = ''All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu'' (2010) | Next album = ''House of Rufus'' (2011) }} ''All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu'' is the sixth studio album by Canadian-American singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, first released in Canada through Decca Records on March 23, 2010. The album was produced by Wainwright (with Pierre Marchand on three tracks), and mixed by Marchand, who produced Wainwright's second album, ''Poses'' (2001). ''All Days Are Nights'' is Wainwright's first release since the death of his mother, folk singer Kate McGarrigle, who died from cancer in January 2010. While Wainwright is known for lush orchestrations and arrangements, this album contains piano and voice work, with twelve original songs. Three songs are settings of William Shakespeare's sonnets ("Sonnet 10", "Sonnet 20", and "Sonnet 43"). ==Title== The first part of the title, "All Days Are Nights", comes from the final couplet of William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 43" ("All days are nights to see till I see thee..."). When asked about the reference to "Lulu", which appears in the second part of the album's title, Wainwright stated in a November 2009 interview that Lulu is a "dark, brooding, dangerous woman that lives within all of us", similar to the Dark Lady character in Shakespeare's sonnets. Wainwright claimed that his Lulu was Louise Brooks in the 1929 movie ''Pandora's Box''.〔 He also stated in an interview with Jian Ghomeshi that Lulu is a reference to the opera of the same name by Alban Berg, which was adapted from Frank Wedekind's plays ''Earth Spirit'' (or ''Erdgeist'', 1895) and ''Pandora's Box'' (or ''Die Büchse der Pandora'', 1904), the latter of which inspired the aforementioned film by Georg Wilhelm Pabst. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
