She's the only recording artist I can think of that has scored a Top 10 hit with a song in which the word "fucked" was never edited out for radio airplay. I guess that's because a) she has the voice of an angel and/or b) the use of the word can't be disputed.
On this Music Friday, we're going with a live version of one of Sarah McLachlan's biggest...and one with a quirky backstory. She was actually sued over the lyrics by an obsessed fan who said she had used his love letters as the basis for the song. He killed himself before the case came to trial...so, we'll never know.
Either way, "Possession" is one of her best...and as one of the commenters to the video says, the note she hits at 4:05 is pretty awesome.
She's in Toronto tonight, Ottawa tomorrow and Vancouver on Monday and in America the rest of the summer. Go.
Nice!
