Sarah McLachlan

[sodascouts]

I love Sarah McLachlan! She has such a beautiful voice, and she's an amazing songwriter. Her songs are full of evocative imagery and intense emotion; she's truly a poet. For newbies, try her wonderful live CD Mirrorball. It's a real showcase of her talent.

New new album Shine On has been released - with a tune co-written by Don Felder! I'll be buying it.

Some of my favorites:

The magnificent Angel, which has choked me up on more than one occasion:

That's just a few examples of her genius. There are many more. Enjoy!

She does have a great voice, but every time I hear her I think of those horribly sad ASPCA commercials and get depressed.

Those ads for the ASPC are so very sad I cannot watch them anymore.
Only good thing is you know those particular animals have received help now.

I just say Sarah on The View, she has a magnificent voice.

Sarah McLachlan is a great singer.

The ASPCA commercials kill me. I have to turn the channel. I have enough melancholy in my life so I have to pretend I don't see it. It may sound cold but if I read or watch those things that pull on the heart strings too much I can easily slip into depression, which I struggle with anyway.

However her other songs are great. But I can't listen to "Angel" either because it reminds me of those commercials. I like "I Will Remember You" a lot....

[zeldabjr]

yeah...those commercials have sort of ruined her for me...that's all I think of when I hear her voice now...

[sodascouts]

Well, you might try to think of all the animals who have been saved thanks to that commercial and associate her voice with that.
