BONUS: Bryan Adams & Sarah McLachlan

Well I’m back with one last installment for the fabulous Canadian musicians series: a duet song by two of the artists we featured previously: Bryan Adams and Sarah McLachlan.

Truth is, I’ve been playing lots of Bryan Adams songs lately ever since I wrote about him. I couldn’t get enough so I went looking for more material and I stumbled by this soundtrack he composed for the animated film that was released in 2002 called: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.

So I went ahead and watched the movie. It’s a pretty decent one that I highly recommend because it’s one of those few movies that (as a reviewer puts it):

In a time when Hollywood is making money by showing our weaknesses, despair, crime, drugs, and war, along comes this film which reminds us the concept of the "Indomitable Spirit". If you are feeling beaten down, this movie will free your mind and set you soaring. We all know how tough life can be, sometime we need to be reminded that persistence and courage will get us through. That’s what this film did for me and I hope it will for you.

Honestly, for me, the soundtrack is also what made this movie even more entertaining. Bryan Adams did an amazing job writing the songs of the movie along with Hans Zimmer. The song I’m featuring today was played in the ending credits along with Bryan’s famous Here I Am. It features background vocals of Sarah McLachlan, who also does a wonderful job of giving the song a much-needed feminine touch.

Day 6: Bryan Adams

Thoughts are things; they have tremendous power. Thoughts of doubt and fear are pathways to failure. When you conquer negative attitudes of doubt and fear you conquer failure. Thoughts crystallize into habit and habit solidifies into circumstances.

We’re drawing near the end of our week of fabulous Canadian musicians. It’s been a wonderful ride with only two more to go.

I’m really ecstatic today to feature one of my all-time favorite rock singers, Bryan Adams. I can’t quite explain what listening to his music makes me feel, although if I had to narrow it down to one thing, I would say it would be his extraordinary voice which just seems so authentic and real.

Heaven was the song that got me hooked to Bryan’s music. It was (and will always be) an inspiring song that I’ll never grow tired of listening to. However, for our featured song today, I was looking for a less popular (yet just as amazing) song that some of you folks may have not heard yet.

My choice came upon a song from his 1998 album, On A Day Like Today, called Where Angels Fear To Tread. This is chilled-out song with simple yet touching lyrics.
