Sarah McLachlan

It's like extracting blood from a stone often for me, and I'm super ADD, so trying to, you know, it's like, give me any distraction when I'm trying to do something that is hard and challenging in the sense of, you know, trying to focus.

But Angel felt like I was just a vessel.

And it just came through me in like two days and it was done.

And I remember thinking at the end of when I first put out Surfacing, like the rest of this album's crap, but Angel's solid.

I mean, obviously I had no perspective.

Yeah, exactly.

So many hits on the record.

Yeah, you know, there was actually some good songs on there.

Yeah, a few, a few.

But that is, you know, that's that mindset when you've just worked and worked and worked at something and you don't have any perspective.

But Angel has had, you know, such a life of its own and has done, you know, so many things.

As I said, talking about how it's helped people through, you know, individual tough situations, so many stories of my...

played this my mother played this when she was passing and really helped us um you know the SPCA obviously you know well you raised 30 million dollars that was within the first year I think so who knows what has happened since do people assume that you um like do people assume you've you're constantly fostering and adopting animals oh yeah because you must get that projected on you and also just you know like the you know 10 or 20 letters a week about you know

People sending me, you know, all their rescues and or I'm doing this charity.

I'm working with this.

Can you help?

And yeah, you know, and it took on such a life of its own.

I remember I was doing a food bank charity gig in New York eight years later.

And they said, can you please not play Angel?

Because it's so synonymous with this other charity.
