Before I begin, I’d like to state from the outset that I’ve not been a Sarah McLachlan fan for very long. Not that I’ve ever disliked her music, but I’ve only recently been giving it a proper listen.
One of the things that stands out is her melodies. A great melody seems to be hard to find these days, so when I find a songwriter who is really good at writing them, I get excited! Her lyrics are also fantastic, and the production is perfect (at least on the two albums I own – Surfacing and Afterglow).
Here are a few of my favourite Sarah McLachlan songs:
