Free Music Review: Good grief....Sarah is nothing short of incredible!
Hit: 5 Stars
I loved this CD, as I do basically all of her songs, even though some are *more* my favorites than others.
I had to laugh at some of the reviews. With an open mind. :)
With all the controversy over this one song, Dear God...
it is a little funny. The whole song IS sarcastic. Whether you are Atheist or Christian or anything else, you should be able to appreciate it, because everyone in their life has gone through a lot of trials that make you stronger and you don't always like it while you're going through them. And this song wasn't written by her, but even if it was, it doesn't necessarily reflect her personal beliefs. That is what music, art and drama are there for at times...to express different views, be somebody else, try something new. Just because an actor portrays a villain, does that make him one in real life?
Regardless, the song is a plea for help, if you closely read the words.
She is sitting here TALKING TO GOD. Why would she be talking to Him if she didn't believe in Him? :) She is angry, yes. Who hasn't been at one point or another? She is acknowledging her feelings and asking for help. The song is very sarcastic and that may be why a lot of people are viewing it as an 'atheist' only song. But it could be appreciated by many. She even refers to the people who twist the bible to their own truths or make all their speculations (whatever they feel like doing) and claim it to be of God.
---Dear God,
Don't know if you noticed, but...
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book,
As crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true
Well I know it ain't, and so do you---
She is saying how religion has become diluted and she feels lost and angry. That is what the song is partly about.
If you look at the vidoe for 'World on Fire' you can see a little of that, at her compassion for people and her anger at world events. I think she's an amazing artist. She's not asking you to convert to her beliefs either. And anyway, that is part of the wonder of experiencing other people's views and talents, finding out what they believe and what makes them tick. It doesn't mean you have to do the same thing.
Rarities, B-Sides & Other Stuff Poster
Never released in the U.S., this 1996 collection features 13of the Canadian singer/ songwriter's best B-sides, covers, rarities & soundtrack contributions, 1987-1996. Housed in a double gatefold slipcase, it includes 'Possession' (Rabbit In The Moon Remix), 'I Will Remember You' (from the film 'Last Of The Mohicans'), covers of XTC's 'Dear God', Gordon Lightfoot's 'Song For A Winter's Night' & Joni Mitchell's 'Blue', plus live cuts & more mixes! A Nettwerk release. The full title is 'Rarities, B-sides, And Other Stuff'.The Sarah McLachlan cottage industry rolls with Rarities. This disc of hard-to-finds and extended remixes offers some choice morsels for casual fans and a whole plateful for the faithful. The Freedom Sessions proved that McLachlan can do some nice stuff with a cover tune, and she offers a sweet handful here. Fellow Canadians Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell get lushed-out respectively with "Song For A Winter's Night" and "Blue," and McLachlan also works her magic with XTC's "Dear God" and the Billie Holiday classic "Gloomy Sunday." Each is dark, but engaging, like so much of McLachlan's own material, including this set's brooding "Full of Grace" and "I Will Remember You." --Michael Ruby
