Sarah McLachlan is one of my favorite artists. I discovered her music in the early nineties, when I heard Possession being played on the radio one day. Her music spoke to me in an unusual way and I can not recall being so influenced by any other harmonies before or since. I went ahead and purchased every single album she released to date and at one point owned and loved all the records."Song For A Winter's Night" is a very unusual Holiday song I would say, but I love its originality and the tranquil melancholy in the lyrics. It is full of bittersweet longing in the midst of winter, a sentiment I can so well relate to. Complemented in a delicate way by Sarah's unique voice, this is an exquisite piece in my Christmas collection.
I hope you too will enjoy this ethereal compilation.

Lovely video!
That is the strangest thing! Sarah was on TV here in England yesterday and I thought then, what a lovely voice.
Yes! A Fine Voice.I would love to see her Live.
THat is a perfect song for this season.
Her voice and lyrics are so emotional-full of feeling, that when you listen, you get caught up in it. There is a certain song of her's that I can barely stand to listen to now because it reminds me of a certain bad time in my life and a loss and I used to cry along with it when I heard on my car radio...
I love the music
Especially when the words are beautiful and touching sentiments
Thank you for the technical work
Happy days to you
The singing of the guitar strings make it terribly soulful, along with that unique voice. She is one of my favorite singers...thanks for the video!

Nice song and a nice voice. A sentimental journey of sorts.
Well this is going on my iPod playlist!
a beautiful song....sigh.
I love Sarah but hadn't heard this song...so beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
much love
Sarah is my favourite female vocalist, and I love others, but her voice is so ethereal, haunting, visceral, among other things.
I so agree with you, Zuzana, on how you described her music.
If you visit my poetry blog, Shades of Grey, I have her version of 'River' playing. I can play 'Possession' on repeat and never tire of it. She cuts right to my soul.
This song is lovely...
and have a lovely weekend, Zuzana~

my speakers are not working, but I am sure it is a beautiful song. her voice is awesome! great post.
Zuzana: I first became aware of Sarah through her CD "Surfacing". My dear friend, Deni Bonet of "Last Girl on Earth" Blog fame, has performed with Sarah and she tells me that she is a very genuine soul! I completely agree with you that she is quite unique and speaks to the heart!
xoxo!

Well, this is a haunting melody and sung with so much meaning. I listened to it twice and remember how much I love "Sweet Surrender" in much the same way. Thank you for sharing this, Zuzana! ;-)lol!
Thanks for introducing me to this song.... it is a nice song to light the candles to... and full back into the couch with the one you love....
Have a great weekend!

"City of Angels"... I remembered it..a very good movie....

Oh another winner. I have this one on my hard drive by Sarah and the version by another Canadian Gordon Lightfoot who wrote it. It's a beauty, alright and I can sure see how and why you relate. Hugs, my friend. :)
