Sobre el álbum
El álbum "Shine On" de 2014 es una de las obras más luminosas y optimistas de la discografía de Sarah McLachlan. Creado tras la pérdida de su padre, este disco es un canto a la vida, la resiliencia y la capacidad de encontrar la luz incluso en los momentos más oscuros.
Musicalmente, el álbum es diverso y enérgico. McLachlan explora desde el pop-rock de guitarras de "In Your Shoes" hasta baladas de piano marca de la casa como "Song for My Father", una emotiva carta de amor y despedida. La producción es vibrante y llena de matices, reflejando el tono esperanzador del proyecto.
Las letras son el corazón del disco, mostrando a una artista que ha encontrado la fuerza en la vulnerabilidad. Temas como "Monsters" y "Brink of Destruction" abordan la lucha interna, pero siempre con una mirada puesta en la superación. Es un álbum que inspira y reconforta.
Con este trabajo, McLachlan demuestra una vez más su increíble capacidad para transformar el dolor en belleza. La biografía de Sarah McLachlan se enriquece con este capítulo de fortaleza y optimismo, un recordatorio de que, pese a todo, se puede seguir brillando.

- In Your Shoes
Letra
You turn the radio on play your favorite song and cry… cry You let it all disappear push back the doubt and fear they try… try To hold your head under the waves but you're breathing all the same You are stronger than their hate Time for you to walk out walk in your own shoes Lay down your footprints wherever you choose Leave it all behind and move on you are your own woman You never asked for trouble but you've got fire that burns so bright… bright You turn and face the struggle when all the others turn and hide… hide You hold your head above the waves above the war they try to wage You are stronger than their hate Time for you to walk out walk in your own shoes Lay down your footprints wherever you choose Leave it all behind and move on 'cause you are your own woman Time for you to walk out walk in your own shoes Lay down your footprints wherever you choose Leave it all behind and move on you are your own woman move on yeah Time for you to walk out walk in your own shoes Lay down your footprints wherever you choose Say what's on your mind with pride 'cause you are your own woman You've got a light that always guides you You speak of hope and change as something good Live your truth and know you're not alone You turn the radio on play your favorite song and sing out so loud - Flesh And Blood
Letra
Desire is no cautious creature Insatiable like raging fire A heat is rising all around My senses so alive It searches out the darkest places No fear of walls or ways concealed Set alight my secret longings All revealed when I'm near you Logic escapes me and I can't breathe 'Cause you burn to my bones Like you're all I've ever known Let thunder crash let rivers flood If all we are is flesh and blood The fury of the storm confounds me Violence and beauty all collide In all my animal emotions I can't fight this tide 'Cause you are the wave that pulls me under Ravage me from head to heart And all my careful calculations Fall apart when I'm near you Logic escapes me, and I can't breathe 'Cause you burn to my bones Like you're all I've ever known Let thunder crash let rivers flood If all we are is flesh and blood Let thunder crash let rivers flood If all we are is flesh and blood 'Cause you burn to my bones Like you're all I've ever known Let thunder crash let rivers flood If all we are is flesh and blood Let thunder crash let rivers flood If all we are is flesh and blood Let thunder crash let rivers flood If all we are is flesh and blood Come together, fall apart We build our towers with paper walls As if we have any control let's burn it all… - Monsters
Letra
When we were young There were always creatures lurking under the bed A thousand year old dragon lived deep in the lake And he said "Don't be afraid" So you dove in He seemed so sweet and lovely he made you laugh And made you forget, about the rain Showed you new tricks on guitar Hidden talents that erases the pain, ah And don't you know that there's a wolf Stalking in sheep's clothing Tells me he's the real thing Think what your life would be missing If you didn't have him to sing To sing about Three headed monsters They want your money wanna be in the picture Be your friend They fill your pool With alligators are they all just jokers or are they cruel They light up when they see you Like there's no where else that they'd rather be Than by your side Then they promise you the stars But they're really just along for the ride, ah And don't you know that there's a wolf Stalking in sheep's clothing Tells me he's the real thing Think what your life would be missing If you didn't have him to sing To sing about Is it the sparkle In their eyes or the knowledge of the ways of the world The way they kiss The way they hold you Has made you blind to the fangs and the fire And don't you know that there's a wolf Stalking in sheep's clothing Tells me he's the real thing Think what your life would be missing If you didn't have him to sing To sing about - Broken Heart
Letra
Are we just drops of rain Falling for a little while Playing hard we lose and gain Trying to hold on to what matters Till the end I keep walking forward Like I know where I'm heading How I wish you were here To see me trying to live up to my name Till the end I should be thinking with my head Not with my broken heart Look to the future for all it can give And not to us being apart We trip and fall and stand again And go on with our heads held high We laugh and love as best we can Trying to hold on to the wonder How long, how long? I should be thinking with my head And not with my broken, heart Look to the future for all it's got And not to us being apart Sometimes I feel I can't go on I let it get me down so hard to heal oh and I fall Fall to my knees it hurts to survive the love that's gone I should be thinking with my head And not with my broken, heart Look to the future for all it's got And not to us being apart - Surrender And Certainty
Letra
Smooth stones down by the waterside Give in to ebb and flow Collide in blindness embrace and part No fear of letting go There's no fight to get ahead Nowhere that they'd rather be Safe in the arms of surrender and certainty Caught in a moment and sure they'll be carried Take me back down to the water to feel that sure Of anything I write your name down in the swollen sand And I walk out in the waves I know you're here I feel you all around me In this sea of soothing gray I don't even feel the cold It's warm as you wash over me Safe in the arms of surrender and certainty Caught in a moment and sure they'll be carried Take me back down to the water to feel that sure Of anything Rain like tears stream down the windshield As we pull out on the road You were the star by which I light my way So how do I find my way now? Back in the arms of surrender and certainty Caught in a moment but sure we'll be carried I want to know what it feels like to be that sure Of anything - Song For My Father
Letra
How I wish that I could tell you It's to you that I would run You were the place that I could always rest my head When my world had come undone 'Cause I've been wrestling with my demons They're telling me I have no choice How I wish that I could lean upon you now Amidst the chaos and the noise Your light buried the dark A constant unwavering heart You were the well to cool my fury Deep and calm your waters feel Your quiet words a salve to soothe my wayward soul It was there I learned to heal Your light buried the dark A constant unwavering heart Oh I hope that you can hear me Through the ravages of time You have carried me though more than you could know I still feel your hand in mine Your light buried the dark A constant unwavering heart - Turn The Lights Down Low
Letra
Night falls heavy like an iron fist The silence taut and frail I weigh the depths of love and terror In this test I cannot fail 'Cause there's no map to guide the human heart Down roads we've never been Sometimes I feel I'm running blind but I'm trying So turn the lights down low Let the night come easy Take my hand won't you let me in 'Cause when the world comes crashing down inside your head I'll be right here right here for you Words fall heavy out of tired mouths Resigned to rage and roar I see behind your eyes the tempest rising And I can't reach your shore When all my good intentions fall apart And I wind up on my knees There's nothing gained from being right but I'm trying So turn the lights down low Let the night come easy Take my hand won't you let me in 'Cause when the world comes crashing down inside your head I'll be right here, right here for you So turn the lights down low Let the night come easy Take my hand won't you let me in 'Cause when the world comes crashing down inside your head I'll be right here, I'll be right here for you Take my hand won't you let me in 'Cause when the world comes crashing down inside your head I'll be right here, I'll be right here waiting Right here for you - Love Beside Me
Letra
I know now there's no one here to blame I could but what good would that do It wouldn't change a thing So I grew accustomed to the shame The sharp sting of your poison Trying so hard to erase All the good in me If this is love beside me I'm working on forgiveness Laying the past down behind me Letting go the ways that I've been hurt Let the rivers rise and rage I'll try and stand with grace If everything is love In the end the war had left us broken Mourning all the things I'd lost The debts I couldn't pay But I didn't want to disappear I was caught in TV static Sinking into grey No more to give away If this is love beside me I'm working on forgiveness Laying the past down behind me Letting go the ways that I've been hurt Let the rivers rise and rage I'll try to stand with grace If everything is love If this is love beside me I'm working on forgiveness Laying the past down behind me Letting go the ways that I've been hurt Let the rivers rise and rage I'll try to stand with grace If this is love beside me - Brink Of Destruction
Letra
It would be if it could be so wonderful if we succeed Your warmth and your words found a place in my world and breathed new life in We come from the brink of destruction We gathered ourselves from the floor We tried and we suffered and finally recovered And found a new way to live We're two side by side with impossible dreams Taking a chance to let love in Storms come I learned to be strong I don't lean on anyone else But now I am so content here in your arms I don't want to be anywhere else With you I'm home, with you I'm home I hold fast to my destination I know that the road will be long We light up the sky let the beauty define us and give, Give it all we got We're two side by side with impossible dreams Taking a chance to let love in Storms come I learned to be strong I don't lean on anyone else But now I'm so content here in your arms I don't want to be anywhere else With you I'm home, with you I'm home - Beautiful Girl
Letra
One thing that I know It will get better Each and every drought Ends in the river If I were a diviner, you'd be awash in rain to cool your fire Oh to cool your fire There could be winds of change in my auburn hair But I'll tie it back for now And when the bitter breeze carries a trace of fear We'll persevere some how We're gonna push on through, pretty girl Just like we always do, beautiful girl I know the world can be cruel, pretty girl You're gonna make it 'cause you've got love on your side The truth of letting go Lies in the answer That when the storm subsides I'll still be there to hold you There's beauty in your violence, and the dissonant melody I hear you sing Oh I love to hear you sing There could be winds of change in my auburn hair But I'll tie it back for now And when the bitter breeze carries a trace of fear We'll persevere somehow We're gonna push on through, pretty girl Just like we always do, beautiful girl I know the world can be cruel, pretty girl You're gonna make it 'cause you got love on your side Pretty girl One thing that I know Is it will get better… - The Sound That Love Makes
Letra
Can you hear it? This is the sound that love makes The fingerprint of a snowflake It paints a picture of you Can you feel it? This is the flavor of sunshine The way your body it moves mine I can taste you in the coolest raindrops One hand in the other unlike any other hand I know I'm seeing the sun in all the darkest grey skies This time I'm going in for the sweetest kill I'm gonna eat till I get my fill So delicious are my lips on your skin One hand in the other unlike any other hand I know I'm seeing the sun in all the darkest grey skies Sweetness, this is the rhythm of thunder From up above or down under I love you
