Thanks for sharing Miguel, the interview is great

Here's a new one:

Ask her how she’d describe her latest work and she ponders. “Is it a sad album? I’m not sure ‘sad’ is the right word for it as a whole, but yes, there’s a lot of sadness in it.”

And she’s right. Laws of Illusion is filled with exquisite songs, as good as any McLachlan has ever written, while her voice sounds clear and true, but there’s still a sense of malaise in the air. Even the happier cuts, like “Loving You Is Easy” have a slightly bitter aftertaste that lingers long after the initial sweetness has faded.

Although it’s written in a style that’s unmistakable McLachlan, it bears an overall tonal resemblance to Joni Mitchell’s classic Blue. That’s not surprising, considering it’s one of McLachlan’s personal favourites and when asked at the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards in 1996 to select a single song to perform to honour Mitchell, she picked “River” from that very album.

New interview/article with the Globe and Mail

“I thought I was this person, and part of that is the artifice of the fantasy that we build up to hold up the perceived reality,” she explains, having clearly given it a lot of thought. “It’s all kind of a big illusion: the white picket fence and the perfect marriage and the kids. Check that box off, check that box off, and move forward. And then it all falls apart underneath you, and you’re left to pick up the pieces and sort out, ‘Well, who am I then?’ Because I thought that’s what I was and who I was, and I’m not all that. Or that’s not my life any more and how do I move forward from there?”

With this in mind, she was thinking of calling the album Loss and Illusion, touching on its two main themes. She suggested the title to her long-time songwriting collaborator and producer, Pierre Marchand, who’s based in Montreal. He misunderstood her. Laws of Illusion, he asked? Sold.

Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere, but I found this article from The Vancouver Sun interesting:

Sarah dancing naked — there it is! — on a table in Paris, then breaking down and tearing up her bus in a rage after a testosterone-soaked tour of Europe just before appearing at the Vatican

I think I am now very tempted to get the book, Nettwerk: 25 Years of Music We Love.

There's a video on Youtube about the release of the book. It's quite interesting!

Just because it's funny...

Sarah McLachlan performs at Lilith Fair on the main stage July 1, 2010. Natural beauty, for the most part.

I first thought: What? She had plastic surgery??
No! Hair extensions!
