Last Dance - Sarah McLachlan

[musicalelo]

If all of the strength And all of the courage Come and lift me from this place I know I could love you much better than this Full of grace Full of grace My love

Full of Grace - Sarah McLachlan

[musicalelo]

Oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie

Angel (1997) - Sarah McLachlan

[musicalelo]

Adia, I'm empty since you left me Trying to find a way to carry on I search myself and everyone To see where we went wrong

There's no one left to finger There's no one here to blame There's no one left to talk to, honey And there ain't no one to buy our innocence

'Cause we are born innocent Believe me, Adia, we are still innocent It's easy, we all falter Does it matter?

Adia (1997) - Sarah McLachlan

[musicalelo]

Take me in, no question's asked You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me (Who are you?) Are you an angel?

Am I already that gone? I only hope that I won't disappoint you When I'm down here on my knees (Who are you?)

Sweet Surrender (1997) - Sarah McLachlan

[musicalelo]

You woke up screaming aloud A prayer from your secret God You feed off our fears And hold back your tears, oh Give us a tantrum And a know-it-all grin Just when we need one When the evening's thin

You're a beautiful A beautiful fucked up man You're setting up your Razor wire shrine

Building of Mystery (1997) - Sarah McLachlan

[musicalelo]

And I forgot to tell you I love you And the night's too long And cold here without you I grieve in my condition For I cannot find the words to say, "I need you so"

I Love You - Sarah McLachlan

Lecture 21: Sarah McLachlan’s lyrical and haunting “Building a Mystery,” off of her enormously successful multi-platinum album Surfacing (1997), was but one indicator of a revival of strong women in rock. McLachlan, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, wrote a lot of extraordinary and memorable music in the 1990s, and was one of the key organizers of the Lilith Fair tours from 1997 to 1999. She has continued to record studio albums to this day, releasing one every 3 or 4 years. While none of them have been as commercially successful as Surfacing, she remains a widely respected female voice in the world of rock today.
