Sobre el álbum
Tras el éxito masivo de "Surfacing", "Mirrorball" (1999) llegó para capturar la magia de Sarah McLachlan en su hábitat natural: el escenario. Este álbum en vivo, grabado durante la gira de su disco más famoso, es un testimonio de su increíble poder como intérprete y de la profunda conexión que establece con su audiencia.
El disco es una colección impecable de sus grandes éxitos hasta la fecha, desde "Possession" hasta "Adia". Las versiones en directo suenan más orgánicas y potentes que en el estudio, con una banda en estado de gracia y una McLachlan que canta con una pasión y una precisión asombrosas. La atmósfera es eléctrica y emotiva.
El álbum no solo sirvió como un perfecto grandes éxitos en vivo, sino que también demostró la atemporalidad de sus canciones. Despojadas de la producción de estudio, temas como "Building a Mystery" o "I Will Remember You" brillan con una nueva luz, mostrando la solidez de sus melodías y letras.
"Mirrorball" fue un éxito comercial y de crítica, y le valió un premio Grammy a la Mejor Interpretación Vocal Pop Femenina. Es un capítulo esencial en la biografía de Sarah McLachlan, el documento sonoro definitivo de una artista en la cima de su carrera.

- Building a Mystery4:06
Letra
You come out at night That's when the energy comes And the dark side's light And the vampires roam You strut your Rasta wear And your suicide poem And a cross from a faith That died before Jesus came You're building a mystery You live in a church Where you sleep with voodoo dolls And you won't give up the search For the ghosts in the halls You wear sandals in the snow And a smile that won't wash away Can you look out the window Without your shadow getting in the way? Oh you're so beautiful With an edge and a charm But so careful When I'm in your arms 'Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully You woke up screaming aloud A prayer from your secret god You feed off our fears And hold back your tears Oh, give us a tantrum And a know it all grin Just when we need one When the evening's thin You're so beautiful A beautiful fucked up man You're setting up your Razor-wire shrine 'Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully Ooh, you're working Building a mystery Holding on and holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully - Hold On5:18
Letra
Hold on Hold on to yourself For this is gonna hurt like hell Hold on Hold on to yourself You know that only time will tell What is it in me that refuses to believe? This isn't easier than the real thing My love, you know that you're my best friend You know I'd do anything for you My love, let nothing come between us My love for you is strong and true Am I in heaven here or am I—? At the crossroads I am standing So now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray You'll be strong tomorrow And will see another day And we will praise it And love the light that brings a smile across your face Oh God, if you're out there, won't you hear me? I know that we've never talked before Oh God, the man I love is leaving Won't you take him when he comes to your door Am I in heaven here or am I in hell? At the crossroads I am standing Now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray That you'll be strong tomorrow And will see another day And we will praise it And love the light that brings a smile Now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray That you'll be strong tomorrow And will see another day And we will praise it And love the light that brings a smile across your face Hold on Hold on to yourself For this is gonna hurt like hell - Good Enough5:10
Letra
Hey your glass is empty It's a hell of a long way home Why don't you let me take you It's no good to go alone I never would have opened up But you seemed so real to me And after all the bullshit I've heard It's refreshing not to see I don't have to pretend She doesn't expect it from me So don't tell me I haven't been good to you Don't tell me I have never been there for you And just tell me why nothing is good enough Hey little girl would you like some candy Your momma said that it's OK The door is open come on outside No I can't come out today It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder And threw you to the ground Who's there that makes you so afraid You're shaken to the bone And no I don't understand You deserve so much more than this So don't tell me why he's never been good to you Don't tell me why he's never been there for you Don't you know that why is simply not good enough So just let me try and I will be good to you Just let me try and I will be there for you I'll show you why you're so much more than good enough - I Will Remember You3:41
Letra
I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I'm so tired but I can't sleep Standin' on the edge of something much too deep It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard But I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Weep not for the memories - Adia3:57
Letra
Adia, I do believe I failed you Adia, I know I've let you down Don't you know I tried so hard To love you in my way? It's easy Let it go Adia, I'm empty since you left me Trying to find a way to carry on I search myself and everyone To see where we went wrong There's no one left to finger There's no one here to blame There's no one left to talk to, honey And there ain't no one to buy our innocence Cause we are born innocent Believe me, Adia We are still innocent It's easy, we all falter Does it matter? Adia, I thought that we could make it I know I can't change the way you feel I leave you with your misery Your friend who won't betray I pull you from your tower I take away your pain I show you all the beauty you possess If you'd only let yourself believe Cause we are born innocent Believe me, Adia We are still innocent It's easy, we all falter Does it matter? Cause we are born innocent Believe me, Adia We are still innocent It's easy, we all falter Does it matter? Believe me, Adia We are still innocent Cause we are born innocent Believe me, Adia We are still innocent It's easy, we all falter Does it matter? - I Love You4:28
Letra
I have a smile Stretched from ear to ear To see you walking down the road We meet at the lights I stare for a while The world around us disappears It's just you and me On my island of hope A breath between us could be miles Let me surround you My sea to your shore Let me be the calm you seek Oh and every time I'm close to you There's too much I can't say And you just walk away And I forgot To tell you I love you And the night's Too long And cold here Without you I grieve in my condition For I cannot find the words to say I need you so Oh and every time I'm close to you There's too much I can't say And you just walk away And I forgot To tell you I love you And the night's Too long And cold here Without you - Do What You Have to Do4:09
Letra
What ravages of spirit Conjured this tempestuous rage Created you a monster Broken by the rules of love And fate has led you through it You do what you have to do And fate has led you through it You do what you have to do And I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go Every moment marked With apparitions of your soul I'm ever swiftly moving Trying to escape this desire The yearning to be near you I do what I have to do The yearning to be near you I do what I have to do But I have the sense to recognize That I don't know how To let you go I don't know how To let you go A glowing ember Burning hot Burning slow Deep within I'm shaken by the violence Of existing for only you I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do And I have the sense to recognize but I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go - The Path of Thorns (Terms)6:03
- Fear5:00
Letra
Morning smiles Like the face Of a newborn child Innocent, unknowing Winter's end Promises Of a long lost friend Speaks to me of comfort But I fear I have nothing to give I have so much To lose here in this lonely place Tangled up in your embrace There's there's nothing I'd like better than To fall But I fear I have nothing to give Wind in time Rapes the flower Trembling on the vine And nothing yields to shelter From above They say temptation will destroy our love The never ending hunger But I fear I have nothing to give I have so much To lose here in this lonely place Tangled up in our embrace There's nothing I'd like better than To fall But I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose I have nothing to give We have so much to lose - Possession5:12
Letra
Listen as the wind blows From across the great divide Voices trapped in yearning Memories trapped in time The night is my companion And solitude my guide Would I spend forever here And not be satisfied And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I Wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear Through this world I stumble So many times betrayed Trying to find an honest word To find the truth enslaved Oh you speak to me in riddles And you speak to me in rhymes My body aches to breathe your breath Your words keep me alive And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I Wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear Into this night I wander It's morning that I dread Another day of knowing of The path I fear to tread Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride It's nothing stands between us here And I won't be denied And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I Wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear I hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I Wipe away the tears Just close your eyes - Sweet Surrender3:57
Letra
It doesn't mean much It doesn't mean anything at all The life I've left behind me Is a cold room I've crossed the last line From where I can't return Where every step I took in faith betrayed me And led me from My home Sweet surrender Is all that I have to give Take me in No questions asked You strip away the ugliness That surrounds me (Who are you?) Are you an angel? Am I already that gone? I only hope that I won't disappoint you When I'm down here on My knees (Who are you?) Sweet surrender Is all that I have to give (Who are you?) Sweet surrender (surrender) Is all that I have to give And I don't understand How the touch of your hand I would be the one to fall I miss the little things I miss everything About you It doesn't mean much It doesn't mean anything at all The life I left behind me Is a cold room (Who are you?) Sweet surrender (surrender) Is all that I have to give (Who are you?) Sweet surrender (surrender) Is all that I have to give - Ice Cream3:02
Letra
Your love is better than ice cream Better than anything else that I've tried Your love is better than ice cream Everyone here knows how to fight And it's a long way down It's a long way down It's a long way down to the place Where we started from Your love is better than chocolate Better than anything else that I've tried Oh, love is better than chocolate Everyone here knows how to cry It's a long way down It's a long way down It's a long way down to the place Where we started from - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy5:46
Letra
All the fear has left me now I'm not frightened anymore It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh It's my mouth that pushes out this breath And if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love And if I feel a rage I won't deny it I won't fear love Companion to our demons They will dance, and we will play With chairs, candles, and cloth Making darkness in the day It will be easy to look in or out Upstream or down without a thought And if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love And if I feel a rage I won't deny it I won't fear love Peace in the struggle To find peace Comfort on the way To comfort And if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love And if I feel a rage I won't deny it I won't fear love I won't fear love I won't fear love - Angel5:49
Letra
Spend all your time waiting For that second chance For a break that would make it okay There's always some reason To feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction Oh beautiful release Memory seeps from my veins Let me be empty Oh, and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line And everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back And the storm keeps on twisting You keep on building the lie That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference Escaping one last time It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees In the arms of the angel Fly away from here From this dark cold hotel room And the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage Of your silent reverie You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here You're in the arms of the angel May you find some comfort here
