Last night I spent some time listening to the very special, Sarah McLachlan. I played 2 of my CDs ~ 'Surfacing' and 'Afterglow!' What a wonderful musical gift this lady has!
Today I had the urge to look at some videos of Sarah's music! There's a good selection to choose from at this time on youtube.
This is one of my favorite songs of Sarah McLachlan. This can be found on the CD, 'Surfacing.'
Angel
( Lyrics~ Sarah McLachlan )
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
Theres always one reason
To feel not good enough
And its hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
Ill find some peace tonight
In the arms of an 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
Youre in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
Theres vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It dont make no difference
Escaping one last time
Its easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
In the arms of an 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
Youre in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
Youre in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
Enjoy!
Love,
Junie
First Gordon Lightfoot and now Sarah McLaughlin; you must be a closet Canadian. My opinion of you grows daily by leaps and bounds. lol

ReplyDeleteThanks, AC,
I DO seem to have a lot of favorites among Canadians!
Sarah McLachlan is THE most special talent to come along in many years! IMHO
