I really enjoy Sarah McLachlan's songwriting. Even though sometimes she collaborates with her producer Pierre Marchand, I think she is a FANTASTIC songwriter. I love ANY musician who can lay their emotions out on the table like that. And Sarah has that. She helped me survive high school, and her new album (first studio release since Afterglow, seven years ago) has so many great songs on it. My favorite has to be "Forgiveness"...
And you ask for forgiveness
You’re asking too much
I have sheltered my heart in a place you can’t touch
I don’t believe when you tell me your love is real
Cause you don’t know much about heaven, boy
If you have to hurt to feel
And then "Love Come" The piano version is BEAUTIFUL with the string accompaniment...
Love has taken me in lifted my load
And in this empty space a wonder grows
A dream of some kind of peace
I could hold up as true
I never knew anything about love before you
SARAH IS AWESOME!
Don't be afraid of the shadows, for there can only be light nearby.
