Love the sound always! so inspirational in so many ways!

I do listen this LoI everyday, specially, I love the beautiful "Love Come" too much. thanks, Sarah. it's just all I can say. Take care!

Hi, Dear Sarah.

This album is wonderfull, I love your songs and your voice. My favoryte records is the FTE, but this your new album "Laws Of Illusion" is beautifull. I love all the songs. Come on to Brazil. This Country adore your musics. We`re waiting for you. The Brazil "loving you easy". God blessed you.

Letíçia

My favorite songs from Laws of Illusion are: Awakenings (it rocks!), Illusion of Bliss, Heartbreak, and Don't Give Up On Us

Ofcourse, the melodies on all the songs are awesome! And I love that Laws of Illusion is a little more upbeat in production than previous albums. I'm anxious to hear the songs live because I know I'll like it even more, but you've shafted the southeast US! Please come to southwest VA or NC!

Hey Ms Mclachlan,
I have been a fan for eleven years, really loving Surfacing so much that I listened to it most days, more so over the past two years than ever before. I related via your lyrics and your music things that were happening in my life at that time - I guess in no uncertain terms it gave me a sort, or a kind of solace during a really tough, difficult and emotionally disturbing period of my life. The power and the meaning contained throughout this album, and I suppose my own interpretation of what you were singing about, really hit home with certain songs. I guess we can relate each of us individually and form our own interpretations of your music, and this is what music is essentially about, no?

Laws of Illusion is another good album, but I would argue that your first three records are the best in lots of ways. My favourite track from Laws of Illusion however would be the piano version of Love Come - again its a powerful, emotional song, and it does 'light up the shadows' when I listen...x

I have enjoyed all of Sarah's albums from her forever giving career. I have lived a life that can only be described as enhanced by listening to her songs. Yet, we all know that life is never perfect and certain setbacks...failures, happen. I can truely say that Sarah's musical work has always put me back on track. This is especially true with her "Laws of Illusion" album. The past 2 years in my life have been very painful, and all the songs had a special place in my being, but "Love Come" is my favorite. Actually, I think "Love Come" is the most beautiful song I have ever heard...Sarah's or anybody's. It gives me a hope that I wish everyone gets from listening to it. Love is a gift, one that everyone deserves, but it can only be given...not taken. I have hope for love in my future, and I owe it to Sarah for reminding me of it each and everytime I experience that song. Thank you so much Sarah!!

Sarah I discovered your music when I was in High School, back in the late 90's. It wasn't up until this year that I truly discovered your music though. This past year was truly the most trying and hardest year of my life and your music got me through it all. The lyrics to your songs seemed to be what I was going threw in my own life, and for a moment while I was listening to your songs I was able to escape my own hurt and sadness. I got to see you perform live for the first time ever back in January while you were visiting Pittsburgh and to describe it I would have to say truly amazing. I thought you were amazing on CD, but seeing you perform live..wow..what a great way to spend an evening. You are truly talented and for me personally your music has touched my soul. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. Hope to see you again sometime in Pennsylvania : )

hi
sarah the arms of an ANGEL is the best song, i can listen to that song over and over, and you know all the song you wrote are beautiful, songs that come from your heart, you know the creator has made an ANGEL outta you. the eyes of an ANGEL is what the creator gave you, you hit a lot of peoples heart with your music. your music hits me like a ton of bricks all the time, its heart warming and it can put a tear to my eyes at time, you are among the creators creations,one that walks the earth warming the wounded hearts and bringing the love back in to there lives."" you must love yourself to be able to love other "" is what i always tell others...i hope to see you some day live playing your music..and listening to the ANGEL play ANGEL...you are blessed sarah

thanks

Finally, something interesting by Sarah McLachlan

I've been a huge Sarah fan most of my life, and honestly thought everything since Fumbling Towards Ecstasy has been a little bit of a let down. I'll never understand why Surfacing was Sarah's Opus as I regard it as perhaps her least inspired disc (perhaps due to the fact that it was overplayed TO DEATH by everyone and their dog). Afterglow was a nice solid progression, with excellent lyrics, but I always felt it was too 'one flavour', though it was tasty.

With Laws of Illusion, Sarah gives us a few surprises! The horrible break-up from her husband obviously gave her excellent emotional fodder to carve out the tracks on this disc. Unfortunately I still find myself longing for the Sarah McLachlan of yore (FTE & Solace) and Laws of Illusion doesn't quite deliver on the lyrical front. Her voice indeed delivers in spades, and the music is new and engaging (and more upbeat!) but some of the lyrics are a bit trite and cliché when you pick them apart. For example how many times have lines almost exactly like this appeared in some song: 'I've been down a long road / I shout it from the rooftops / You light me up you take me higher / Now every time I see you I can't help but look away / I don't care what people say I'm ready now to face this day . . .' ?

Regardless of this these lyrics still work and for most of the rest of the songs are great at delving up imagery and emotion. Awakenings, Love Come and Heartbreak are stand-outs tracks for me. Her cover of Bring On the Wonder, while not written by her, is another favourite.

The big surprises come with the actual Music! It's a breakup record for sure, but it's upbeat and positive. The overall tempo of this album is much quicker than I was expecting too. There's a cadence to this disc that was lacking on Afterglow. The positively happy, if corny, lead single "Loving You is Easy" doesn't sound like anything the Sarah McLachlan of yore would have ever done. It sounds like a Randy Newman tribute, but it works (I feel like I shouldn't like it, but I do)!
This is a feel-good CD that showcases both Sarah's innocence and maturity.

I will probably always think Fumbling Towards Ecstasy is her best album, and Solace will always be my personal favourite, but Laws of Illusion is right up there as another great Sarah CD. Finally. Thank you Sarah!

Hola Sarah.

sabe ...

cuando en mis tiempos de tristeza, me pierdo en sus bellas melodias, mi mente se pierde en el universo y mi corazon deja de sentir ese terrible dolor que punza mi alma..

cuando me siento mal, solo es hacer un click en mi cd con su musica y todo mi panorama cambia, me llena de emocion, alegria, esperanza

sus canciones son fascinantes, las canto en la regadera muy feliz!

mis hijas son sus admiradoras y le llaman a usted de cariño.."SARITA"..imaginese que tanto nos tiene influenciadas con su musica.

sus melodias son nuestra compañia perfecta

a mi en lo personal el cd WINTERSON me encanta...es un paseo de Amor y dulzura..es como si estuviera pegada a mi pareja, es como si estuviera en su regazo, es union...

cuando escucho WINTERSON (que aunque no sea invierno lo escucho por que me fascina) es como detener el tiempo, imaginar esas navidades llenas de un calor abrigador y felicidad!

Querida Sarah, debe saber que le pido a Dios que tengamos Sarah para mucho tiempo, pues usted nutre nustras almas, nuestros corazones.

A mi hija Kim le encanta su musica, ella estudia Electone Stagea Mini, en una Academia Yamaha y siempre me dice que le gustaria conocerle en conciertos, imaginese esto! seria fantastico!

A mi hija Vanessa le encantan sus coros del Sarah Mclachlan Music Oustreach, en especial la cancion de WAR IS OVER..simplemente entra en una emocion idescriptible!

Agradezco a Dios haya Creado a un ser como usted, tan creativo y sensible y con una voz insuperable y bella.

Tambien agradezco a Dios que usted sea ese Angel que nos reconforta!

por ultimo,..espero y lea mi mensaje...sere feliz!

espero y medite en venir a Mexico!

y si llega a venir ...mis hijas, yo y mucha gente brincaremos de felicidad de saberlo!
que tenga excelente dia!

Dear Sarah...
Kinds regards from France and I apologize for my english which is not very good.

You know of course who is Lilith in apocryphal versions of the bible. The first wife of Adam who wanted to be equal to him and leave the paradise With good and bad sides=> very interesting that you have chosen this name for your tour...Are you a Lilith or an Eva woman?

Well I'm jocking...

More seriously all your albums are a pleasure to listen and to understand too as the lyrics are very well written,.. It's always an emotion and a pleasure to read and understand what you want to express in your songs => and I found myself in the situation you described in certain songs
as "fear".

"I have so much to lose here in this lonely place
Tangled up in our embrace
There's nothing I'd like better than to fall
But I fear, I have nothing to give
But I fear, I have so much to lose"

When do you come in Europe??? The old continent is waiting for you and France is an interessant place for artistic experiements => we are at the heart of the New Europe which is in building and which will never surrender and forget her culture...I hope...

Emmanuel

..

what a great album!!

Sarah,
You are an Angel without wings put here on Earth to bring Joy and Happiness to us mere mortals.

Colorful allure in it's haunting state...blended touches of previous memories (albums) wash on shore to her latest effort. Spellbound...captivated..a must for everyone who is a deep souled individual.

I still will always love the song I WILL NOT FORGET YOU.
Good thing I have it on CD since to my knowledge Sarah doesn't do it anymore in concert or elsewhere.

I'm sorry I bought this album. I've wasted my money. I will NEVER again attend any concert or buy any merchandise from Ms. McLachlan. ARIZONA'S LAW IS THE SAME AS THE ALREADY EXISTING FEDERAL LAW. MS. MCLACHLAN, YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE. YOU DON'T LIVE ON THE BORDER AND HAVE TO SUFFER. 70+% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT THE ARIZONA LAW AND OTHER STATES WILL FOLLOW. GO HOME.

Now that I have this CD in my collection, my one word to sum it up is, outstanding.

I love this CD I am so glad that sarah has wrote the song forgiveness. Love you sarah

PJ

The album is perfect!!!!
I'm so happy that I found so many brazilian fans here. Please, come to Brazil to show your beautiful songs.
We need your albums to be released over here....

Dear Sarah,

I'm so happy that you've release a new album after so long!!!
I'm also happy to see that other Brazilians are found of your music, as much as I'm.
So PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL, and help me to make one of my oldest dream come true ... To see you perform live in our country.

PS: I loved the Album Cover ...
