Sobre el álbum
Publicado en 2006, "Mirrorball: The Complete Concert" expande uno de los directos más icónicos de la discografía de Sarah McLachlan. Mientras que el "Mirrorball" original de 1999 ofrecía una selección de los mejores momentos, esta edición doble presenta el concierto completo, ofreciendo una inmersión total en la gira de "Surfacing".
El álbum de dos discos permite al oyente experimentar el flujo y la narrativa de una de sus actuaciones de principio a fin. Incluye canciones que se quedaron fuera de la primera edición, como "Plenty" o "Witness", proporcionando una visión más completa de la riqueza de su repertorio de la época.
La inclusión de estas pistas adicionales enriquece la experiencia, mostrando la increíble consistencia de la banda y la entrega de McLachlan a lo largo de toda la noche. Es la versión definitiva de un momento mágico, el sonido de una artista en la cima absoluta de su poder creativo y comercial.
Este trabajo es un regalo para los fans y una pieza histórica. La biografía de Sarah McLachlan celebra la era de "Surfacing" como un punto culminante, y "Mirrorball: The Complete Concert" es su documento sonoro más exhaustivo y emocionante.

- Building a Mystery4:23
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 - Plenty3:19
Letra
I looked into your eyes They told me plenty I already knew You never felt a thing So soon forgotten All that you do In more than words I tried to tell you The more I tried I failed I would not let myself believe that you might stray And I would stand by you no matter what they'd say I thought I'd be with you until my dying day Until my dying day I used to think my life Was often empty A lonely space to fill You hurt me more than I ever could have imagined You made my world stand still And in that stillness There was a freedom I never felt before I would not let myself believe that you might stray And I would stand by you no matter what they'd say I thought I'd be with you until my dying Day Until my dying day - Hold On5:10
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 Enough5:00
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 - Do What You Have to Do4:07
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 - Witness4:43
Letra
Make me a witness Take me out Out of darkness Out of doubt I won't weigh you down With good intention Won't make fire out of clay Or other inventions Will we burn in heaven Like we do down here Will the change come While we're waiting Everyone is waiting And when we're done Soul searching As we carried the weight And died for the cause Is misery Made beautiful Right before our eyes Will mercy be revealed Or blind us where we stand Will we burn in heaven Like we do down here Will the change come while we're waiting Everyone is waiting - Wait4:48
Letra
Under a blackened sky Far beyond the glaring streetlights Sleeping on empty dreams The vultures lie in wait You lay down beside me then You were with me every waking hour So close I could feel your breath When all we wanted was the dream To have and to hold That precious little thing Like every generation yields The new born hope unjaded by the years Pressed up against the glass I found myself wanting sympathy But to be consumed again Oh I know would be the death of me And there is a love that's inherently given A kind of blindness offered to appease And in that light of forbidden joy Oh I know I won't receive it When all we wanted was the dream To have and to hold that precious little thing Like every generation yields The newborn hope unjaded by their years You know if I leave you now It doesn't mean that I love you any less It's just the state I'm in I can't be good to anyone else like this When all we wanted was the dream To have and to hold that precious little thing Like every generation yields The new born hope unjaded by their years - I Will Remember You3:33
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 - Ice4:39
Letra
The ice is thin come on dive in Underneath my lucid skin The cold is lost, forgotten Hours pass days pass time stands still Light gets dark and darkness fills My secret heart forbidden I think you worried for me then The subtle ways that I'd give in But I know you liked the show Tied down to this bed of shame You tried to move around the pain But oh your soul is anchored The only comfort is The moving of the river You enter into me A lie upon your lips Offer what you can I'll take all that I can get Only a fool's here I don't like your tragic sighs As if your god has passed you by Well hey fool that's your deception Your angels speak with jilted tongues The serpent's tale has come undone You have no strength to squander The only comfort is The moving of the river You enter into me A lie upon your lips Offer what you can I'll take all that I can get Only a fool's here to stay Only a fool's here to stay Only a fool's here - I Love You4:25
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 - I Will Not Forget You5:43
Letra
I remember the nights I watched as you lay sleeping Your body gripped By some far away dream Well I was so scared And so in love then And so lost in All of you that I had seen But no one ever talked in the darkness No voice ever added fuel to the fire No light ever shone in the doorway Deep in the hollow of earthly desires But if in some dream there was brightness If in some memory some sort of sign And flesh be revived in the shadows Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined And I will oh I will not forget you Nor will I ever let you go I will oh I will not forget you I remember how you left In the morning at daybreak So silent you stole from my bed To go back to the one Who possesses your soul And I back to the life that I dread So I ran like the wind to the water Please don't leave me again I cried And I threw bitter tears at the ocean But all that came back was the tide… And I will oh I will not forget you Nor will I ever let you go I will oh I will not forget you

- The Path of Thorns (Terms)6:32
- Mary4:01
Letra
Mary walks Down to the water's edge And there she hangs her head To find herself faded Shadow of what she once was She says "How long have I been sleeping? And why do I feel so old? Why do I feel so cold? My heart is saying one thing But my body won't let go." With trembling hands she Reaches up A stranger's flesh is offered And I would be the Last to know I would be the last To let it show And I would be the Last to go Take her hand She will lead you through the fire Give you back hope And hope that you don't take Too much respecting what is left She cradled us She held us in her arms Unselfish in her suffering She could not understand That no one seemed to have the time To cherish what is offered And I would be the Last to know And I would be the last To let it show And I would be the Last to go Mary walks - Adia3:51
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? - Fear4:44
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 - Elsewhere5:05
Letra
I love the time and in-between The calm inside me In the space where I can breathe I believe there is a distance I have wandered To touch upon the years of Reaching out and reaching in Holding out, holding in I believe This is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger In silence If I choose to Would you try to Understand I know this love is passing time Passing through like liquid I am drunk in my desire But I love the way you smile at me I love the way your hands reach out and Hold me near I believe I believe This is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger In silence If I choose to Would you try to Understand Oh the quiet child Awaits the day when she can break free The mold that clings like desperation Mother can't you see I've got To live my life the way I feel is Right for me Might not be right for you but it's Right for me I believe I believe This is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger In silence If I choose to Would you try to Understand it I would Like to linger Here in silence If I choose to Would you try to Understand - Vox5:11
Letra
In the desert of my dreams I saw you there And I'm walking towards The water steaming Body cold and bare But your words cut loose the fire And you left my soul to bleed And the pain That's in your truth's deceiving me Has got me scared Oh why? Through your eyes The strains of battle Like a brooding storm You're up and down These pristine velvet walls Like focus never forms My walls are getting wider And my eyes are drawn astray I see you now a vague deception Of a dying day Oh why? I fall into the water And once more I turn to you And the crowds were standing staring faceless Cutting off my view to you They start to limply flail their bodies In a twisted mime And I'm lost inside this tangled web In which I'm lain entwined You're gone and I'm lost inside This tangled web in which I'm lain entwined Oh why? - Into the Fire3:46
Letra
Mother teach me how to walk again Into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire I am the spark Mother teach me how to walk again Milk and honey so intoxicating Into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire I am the spark Into the night I yearn for comfort Open the doors that lead on into Eden Don't want no cheap disguise Follow the signs marked back to the beginning No more compromise And into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire I am the spark Into the night I yearn for comfort Free the water that carries me to the sea You I see as my security Into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire Oh, I am the spark Into the night I yearn for comfort I will stare at the sun until its light doesn't blind me I will walk unto the fire until its heat doesn't burn me And I will feed the fire Into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire I am the spark Into the night I yearn for comfort Into the fire Into the fire Into the fire I'm reunited Into the fire Oh, I am the spark Into the night I yearn for comfort Into the fire Into the fire Into the fire Into the night Into the fire Into the fire Into the fire - Possession5:13
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 - Ice Cream4:38
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 - Sweet Surrender4:07
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 - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy6:04
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 - Angel6:11
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
