Buy it.
I've read some very well thought out and critical comments for other albums on here that speak of the artists talents, shortcomings, etc. This isn't one of those, mine is all about emotion. Listening to this album is almost a rapturous experience for me. This music, the voice, the lyrics...they reach so very deep into me and stir otherwise sleeping feelings of love, desire, fear, loss and the unique pleasure of merciful solitude.

REALLY GREAT CD
This is a really great album. I am not a huge fan of Mclachlan's later work but I must say that if you're a female and you don't own this album you better get it! I listen to every song on here. The lyrics are poignant, moving and easily relatable. It's a must have!!

Deserving to be on the tip of everyone's memory.
All of her music displays a humanism and an ability to make tangible our varied and fragile emotions. Such a relief from current nihilistic or jaded takes on life. Check out her new album 'World On Fire'. This woman personifies awareness, sensitivity, and compassion.

Sarah McLachlan
Your space becomes a cathedral when this artist begins to play her piano, her guitar. The music lights invisible votive candles, twenty at a time.

If you want to listen to a beautiful record from an angel who's connected to a rocking attitude yet sings her confessional lyrics in an unforgettable style, listen to Sarah McLachlan's lilting voice croon and calm your world.

Listen to it quaver for a moment, drawing you in to the lyric. "I won't fear love." she promises in the title track. "Just tell me why nothing is good enough," she asks of a failed relationship in another song.

Sarah was born in Nova Scotia, took classical piano and vocal lessons and fronted a "new wave" band called October Game. She must have impressed the Nettwerk Records maven because they signed her to a solo deal.

Her personal songwriting benefits from the long-time collaboration with producer Pierre Marchand. He places guitar licks where they do the most good and presents a dynamic, yet subtle rhythm section.

We are all the better for it. If there is any way that music can be a balm for the soul--Sarah's music is what it would sound like. It transports you into another level of being if you let it.

Her third record, "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy," is a pure pleasure to hear. Please promise yourself to get a copy of it. She rocks to support the message in her music. She soothes with a sigh.

"Possession," "Good Enough," "Circle," "Hold On," and "Fear" are my favorite songs. Yet the entire album flows so sweetly, so smoothly, your body will create a new flow of endorphins.

Honest, earnest music can do that.

The best music, like the best poetry, is a healing, heavenly experience transmitted to the artistic human who tunes into it. Sarah, thank you for bringing it to us. All we need do it tune in.

Fumbling Towards Ecstacy
This is by far her best album. It is a record you can play from beginning to end with no song skipping. Dreamy and passionate.
