Sarah McLachlan is without a doubt my favourite singer of all time, male or female. Her voice is something special and every time I listen to one of her songs, I lose myself in the words and get transported to wherever her wonderful voice is singing about. It's her birthday today and what better way to celebrate than listing my ten favourite songs of hers. No easy task for sure. I first really started listening to her in 2004 when the song "Fallen" came out from her album Afterglow. I had obviously heard songs such as "Angel," "Adia," "Sweet Surrender," and "I Will Remember You" beforehand because they were all extremely
popular. They are still extremely popular today, with "Angel" and "I Will Remember You" firmly etched into the memories of people all around the world. One of my friends in middle school even did a project on her for music class. Only in 2004 was when I really started appreciating her songs and listening to as many as I could. Now I am a huge fan and have seen her in concert three times. I plan to go to as many shows as I can in the future and hopefully meet her one day as well.
Happy Birthday Sarah! You are truly one amazing singer and performer. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you and all the amazing music you plan to release.
