Sarah McLachlan



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

  1. First Gordon Lightfoot and now Sarah McLaughlin; you must be a closet Canadian. My opinion of you grows daily by leaps and bounds. lol

    Thanks, 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
