The Candles Songfacts says: Rufus Wainwright closes his seventh studio album, Out Of The Game with this reflection on his late mother, Kate McGarrigle's, passing. He told UK newspaper The Sun: "I'm still dealing with my mother's death. The second year anniversary came and the pain bounced back again. I don't think there was a more famous mother-son duo than us. We worked together, partied together and were super-close."
