"I Don't Know What It Is" is a song written and performed by Canadian-American singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright. It was the first single from Wainwright's third studio album ''Want One'' and was released in a slim-line jewel case format on July 26, 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rufuswainwright.com/discography/detail.aspx/pid/1480 )〕 In addition to the UK and Japanese versions of ''Want One'', the song also appears on the bonus DVD that accompanies ''Want Two'' (''Rufus Wainwright: Live at the Fillmore''), ''All I Want'' (DVD), and ''Want'', a repackaged UK double album that contains ''Want One'' and ''Want Two''. ==Composition and lyrics== In ''All I Want'', producer Marius de Vries admitted that "I Don't Know What It Is" was one of the most complex production challenges he had ever faced, with its hundreds of layers of separate orchestral, choral, and vocal parts. Between "running around" and "chugging along" "on a train going God knows where to" in a sort of aimless wander, transportation is a major theme of the song. Wainwright alludes to several locations, from precise ones such as Calais, Dover, Poland and Lower Manhattan to more abstract locales like Heaven, Hell, and Limbo. Wainwright said the following of the song: References are also made to the American sitcom ''Three's Company''; "knock on the door", "take a step that is new", and "three's company" all allude to the TV show's theme song. "Taking the Santa Fe and the Atchison, Topeka" is a reference to Judy Garland's ''The Harvey Girls'', which itself contains an allusion to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. 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「I Don't Know What It Is」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
