The world's on fire, it's more then I can handle.
I'll tap into the water, try and bring my share.
Try to bring more, more than I can handle.
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able.

Hearts are worn in these dark ages.
You're not alone in these stories' pages.
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying, and Ill try to hold it in.
Yeah, I'll try to hold it in.

Chorus

I watch the heavens but I find no calling.
Something I can do to change what's coming.
Stay close to me while the sky's falling.
I don't wanna be left alone don't wanna be alone.

Chorus

Hearts break, hearts mend, love still hurts.
Visions clash, planes crash, still there's talk of saving souls, still cold's closing in on us.

We part the veil on our killer sun.
Stray from the straight line on this short run.
The more we take, the less we become.
The fortune of one man means less for some

Chorus

Sarah is gorgeous.  This song is great but the album couldn't follow  ' Surfacing ' which was an 11.

Unfair to Sarah McLachlan to play this right after Side 2 of Abbey Road...

Such a lovely warm sound, on a wintry day. I need a hot chocolate, but don't want to miss any of it.

I once read a Q&A that Sarah did that included a question about how to deal with the results of orally pleasuring a fellow...let's just say that she's a great songwriter, singer and really fun offstage as well.

Perfect segue from Norah Jones to this - I honestly couldn't hear where one track finished and the next one started. 
Huge skills Bill/Rebecca - HUGE

Having a hard time listening to this and not seeing those poor abandoned, caged animals of the amnesty commercials. I realize this is NOT the tune they use, but her voice permeates the "needy" air.

Sarah's a nice change of pace and shows a wider range than say Norah Jones. Keep up the good work Bill (although the last person does have a point—this is the first time I've heard this track in months, but others seem to come around almost on the hour lately).

Not one of my favorite Sarah tunes but it makes you stop and think about the state of the world especially today (9/11/10). Never forget the lives that were lost and my wish is that all wars could stop NOW. Let's co-exist!

Bill has been ON A ROLL ALL MORNING! It's rare I can listen to RP for 4+ hours without wanting to listen to something else, but this morning, Bill has orchestrated a wonderful playlist. The Sarah McLachlan song is just one of many examples of wonderful music.

I don't know, I like her songs, and her voice is pleasant on the ears, but she just seems to be trying too hard. I get the same feeling from Natalie Merchant (although with her I get a 'I'm so precious' vibe as well.) Maybe I should pull in my antennae a bit? - Riff

This song has such a special meaning to me. I was listing to this song all weekend a few years ago and then I got a telephone call that a very close friend of mine died quite suddenly. So, it brings back the sad memories of that, but the happy memories of all the fun we had over the years. Thank you for playing it.

Coding away in the middle of an "exceptional drought" area and just seeing a bit of rain after maybe a month (other gaps longer this year). I was struck by these lyrics. Probably read too much into them. But it's getting kinda heavy around here. Primary sources of water for about a million people down to 69-120 days, etc, mostly the same hundreds of miles in all directions. I find myself pondering the earlier BHT&M "Drought of 2013" line (something like) "after 750 days not a drop of rain, makes us all the same." But hopefully we'll get 24 inches of rain in the next few months and be right back to normal. But maybe with better habits...

One of the better Sarahmac tunes. I find most of her early stuff a bit too cheesy and produced, but this is quality work.
Flip that and I'd agree. Her earlier songs were more dynamic with interesting perspectives and tensions. Now she makes adult contemporary pop that would soothe in a dentist's office or the elevator. It happened around the time her image became much more produced and glossy, not coincidentally.

Artists relate what they feel. Some embrace one artist, others another, presumably based on the connection to that artist's expression. I was a huge SM fan back when I was lonely and depressed. Now instead of the intense association I more feel empathy and sorrow that her life has not progressed as well.

I don't live too far from Sarah, and let me tell you houses aren't cheap here. I rent a run-down, no-yard 1930's one-floor, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house (with 2 other roomies), and the house's value... 1.4 million. A 1-bdrm condo around here is 500,000 and up. You just can't buy anymore. As another poster said - you obviously don't live on the West Coast.

Four. Perhaps even more during some of the longest and most stressful work sessions (context: programming, sysadmin tasks, web service development, ...) For me, in some kind of mysterious resonance, her music has been withstanding unprecedented extended listening periods, far beyond most other music I love to listen. Personal favorite: the Mirrorball concert DVD... even for working sessions (provided one avoids getting too distracted by video...): more effective than coffee, better than chocolate...

Where I live, $1M gets you a 1500 SF 3Bd. 2Ba. house on an 8000 SF lot in a reasonable school district. Condos are half of that. Clearly, you do not live near the left coast.

Not her best, sadly. She has an INCREDIBLE voice and I love listening to her, but this album didn't do much for me.

This is very feminine without being tinkly like Ms Amos. Feminine and strong. Ok, I am converting to a Sarah fan.

I just saw the video for the first time last week (I guess I don't stay in much)... so... I felt I had to bump this to a 10. Merry holiday.

Hell, for that matter why not a $250,000 home? Why does ANYONE "need" a million dollars worth of house? To stash all their important stuff?

The video has a very moving sentiment... so why does she live in a 10 million dollar home? Why not a one million dollar home?

I like some of her stuff, this just doesn't speak to me, regardless of the political connotation.

Help, I'm sarcastic and ignorant! I must make fun of those concerned about global warming using widely inaccurate statements that's it's not humans causing the problem. *snip*
You tell 'em! And way to site sources from both ends of the political spectrum. As for Sarah, I like this and most of what she's done, though I must say that when I found out her orientation it seriously dimmed my fantasy space . . .

mmm, Sarah. Not her best album but a nice song. I remember seeing her open for The Grapes of Wrath (remember them? - didn't think so) circa 1988 in a tiny movie theatre on Commercial Drive. Most recently in a sold-out GM Place.
