Day 4: Sarah McLachlan

If you love large, you’ve got to hurt large. If you’ve got a lot of light, you’ve probably got an equal amount of darkness.

Sarah McLachlan in concertWe’re on our fourth day of fabulous Canadian musicians week. I’ve already featured fabulous songs from Michael Bublé, Avril Lavigne and Chantal Kreviazuk. If you’ve missed any of them, go check them out right away!

Today’s featured musician, Sarah McLachlan, needs no formal introduction, because she’s one of the world’s most popular and influential female musicians. She is best known for founding the concert tour that ran from 1997 to 1999 under the name of Lilith Fair, featuring a lot of female musicians. At each Lilith Fair venue, one dollar for each ticket sold was given to a women’s charity in that community.

Sarah’s most notable musicial quality is the emotional sound of her ballads. If you’ve listened to any of her bigger hits, like Angel or Fallen, then you would immediately recognize this very aspect which gained her a massive appeal worldwide.

To illustrate this, today’s featured song is by far the most touching love song I’ve heard in my entire life! I’m not exaggerating that by a single bit! You’ve got to listen to this song to really feel the love that flows through the wonderful lyrics, sung with an ambient, soft voice. If this one doesn’t get you, no other love song will!

Lyrics

I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road

we meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around us disappears

just you and me
on my island of hope
a breath between us could be miles

let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek

oh and every time I’m close to you
there’s too much I can’t say
and you just walk away

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

oh and every time I’m close to you
there’s too much I can’t say
and you just walk away

and I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night’s
too long
and cold here
without you
