This song gets me every time. Sarah McLachlin has the voice of an angel. The lyrics stick to me.But, it is more than that. There is some kind of internal barometer that says, yes, exactly. Call me a pussy if you want to. I won't care. I understand beauty when I hear/see it.
And this song/sonstress are Beauty.
[If you're not touched the first time, well, play it again.]
Postscript: Bobby B., Dean, Grandad, Uncle Rod, Grampa Burr___, Nana: they're all guardian angels. I thank them all.

every time i hear that song, i tear up. the first time i heard it was as background music in a movie where someone was dying and her heart was being placed in another woman. ever since then, it makes makes me cry. i have never seen it sung or have known who sang it. thanks for the chance. very beautiful.
She's an amazing singer!
Yep, I love her voice and the song.
It's a gorgeous song, Mom. It's like an adult lullaby. I think the lyrics may have been inspired by addiction--hers or someone that she knew. The meaning behind the song, though, doesn't matter all that much. It is the *emotion* of the song (and the emotions that said song gives the listener) that matters. The song is so peaceful, so reassuring. I like head-banging music, sure, but I also definitely appreciate the beauty of a songstress with her piano.
Matty-Three: Pure beauty, huh? =o) Hope things are going well for you in the mountain country, man. Peace and love to you and yours.
Miss Meliss: Yeah. I was listening to it again and I am struck by her cadence and her (seemingly) country twang. I know she's Canadian--is she from the west coast of our neighbors to the north? Vancouver, maybe? British Columbia? I'll have to Google her.
I demand that this song be played at my (too-early) funeral.
Send me off with Beauty.
And I'm holding you to it.
=)
(Serious. Play the song.)
:)
very nice, Adam. I don't listen to Sara MacLaughlin often enough. A very nice 5 minutes.
and please, let's not talk about your funeral just yet.
Hell, Lexy, I am a cockroach. I *survive*. There'll be no funeral.
Just yet.
:-D
