Sarah McLachlan---加拿大創作才女歌手

最近常聽她的"Surfacing"專輯,裡頭有好幾首道出了我的心聲,有時是音樂觸動我,有些是歌詞契合我最近的心情;她最近一張專輯是Afterglow---晚霞餘暉,真的也是曲曲動聽喔,她的歌聲曲子一如仙境旋律般,輕撫著孤獨夜晚燥慮的心...第二首Angel是大家耳熟能詳的X情人主題曲,是一首歌詞與音樂完美呈現的作品! May you find some comfort here...

Sweet Surrender

It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home

And sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

You take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees
And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

Sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

And I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall

I miss the little things
I miss everything (about you)

It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room

And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

Angel

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don’t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
