Sarah McLachlan

It all felt so surreal up until that moment.

And I mean, honestly, there were still many, many surreal moments after that.

Absolutely.

I mean, music art is so subjective, right?

It's like you see something, you hear something, you read something, and it resonates with you or it doesn't.

And you then...

In part, you put your own story into it.

And then that's where you draw inspiration from.

That's how it affects you.

So, I mean, the coolest thing is when people come up to me and say, oh, my God, you know, this song you created or the song you wrote has helped me in this way.

I brought it with me on my trip.

And, you know, like I've met so many people who went through high school with my music or went to university.

So, you know, really pivotal times and huge changes in their worlds, losing a parent, losing a child.

Yeah.

All these stories about what it means to other people are beautiful and cool to know that there's something I've created has made some kind of impact in someone's life and been there with them on, you know, a beautiful journey, a tough journey, and somehow helped them in some way.

Yeah, exactly.

Well, I suppose that would be Angel.

Yeah.

And that was one of those very, very seldom happens as a songwriter that something happens quickly and easily for me.

It's like music is flowing all the time, but lyrics are really hard work.
