- “I think we all have unique abilities to make and create meaningful change in the world, and music has always been the path for me.” - Sarah McLachlan. Watch her perform for an audience of changemakers at the 2019 Skoll World Forum.
With over 30 years in the recording industry, Sarah McLachlan is a multi-platinum singer and songwriter best known for her intimate vocals and relatable lyrics. Canadian-born, McLachlan is a multiple Grammy and Juno Award winning artist who has sold over 40 million albums throughout her career and was recently inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. McLachlan has also been awarded the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Visionary Award and is an Officer of the Order of Canada. In addition to her personal artistic efforts, in 1997 McLachlan founded the Lilith Fair tour, which showcased female musicians and brought more than 2 million people together over its three-year run. Lilith Fair raised over $7 million for local and national charities and helped launch the careers of numerous female performers. The festival was the most successful all-female music event and was the top-grossing touring festival during its run.
In 2002 McLachlan founded her non-profit organization, the Sarah McLachlan School of Music. The School of Music serves over 1,000 at-risk and underserved youth in Vancouver and Edmonton each year and provides, at no cost: • A high-quality music program staffed with talented mentors, youth facilitators & guest artists • A space for at-risk and underserved children and youth to develop the confidence they need to explore their strengths and overcome their challenges • An opportunity for students to develop strong relationships with their peers and instructors • A long-term commitment that nurtures trust, growth, and personal development The school is funded entirely through private donations and McLachlan covers 100% of the administrative costs through her Foundation, so that all funds raised go directly to the student's education. The scientific evidence of music's value is increasing every day, there is no doubt that music has a positive effect on every child's life.

So many artists play their music from 10, 15, 20 years ago and can’t hit certain notes or just don’t have that spark anymore. Then there’s Sarah McLachlan who sounds BETTER than her studio cut 20+ years ago. What a voice and a talent ❤️
She will be reflected on as one of the best songwriters of our time.
Perfect virtuoso! Stage presence, mic technique, perfect guitar playing and of course her perfect voice. And to top it off an absolutely graceful and humble humanitarian. Canada's best ever.
My god...she is so beautiful and unchanged in 25+ years. Pure talent.
Can we talk about how perfectly she’s keeping time with her guitar playing and hitting every single one of those lead notes as well as keeping rhythm chords going as well as hitting EVERY single note with her voice simultaneously!? She truly is a professional and one of the best there ever was.
Talk...
Yep. She projects every subtle guitar nuance so clearly.
Never realized she was such a good guitar player as well as being one of my favourite singers
Sheldon Cooper?
Such God given talent! I can't think of a better gift, besides good health!
She's unique! Best female voice I've ever listened in my life
Her voice, her vocals, soft and yet strong at the same time. There's only one Sarah M, forever... pretty special she's here for us to enjoy
still reminds me of being a kid and being in 97. love this song.
I first heard this song over 20yrs ago... god she still does this SO well.
Simply perfect performance. Her voice hasn't aged a bit.
Oh my stars,,,, is this beautiful or what? Rarely have I been moved by a singer with just an acoustic guitar. But this version is just out of this world! Being in my 60's, I thought I saw and heard it all. But this is just divine...
Yes...I feel the same..."divine "
She is sooo good She must be Canadian... probably a east coaster
So cool seeing Sarah sing this live with just acoustic guitar; beautiful and moving 👏👏👏
My all time favorite and the best performer and singer and songwriter ever.
Wow she still looks amazing

My GOD She's BEAUTIFUL !!!!! Moreso as she's matured..... Her voice hasn't lost one bit either. Magnificent.....
Surfacing is one of the very few albums I loved the first time I heard it. Every. Single. Track. Thanks, Sarah.
Wow, what an amazing performance! It has been 24 years since this song first came out and it's better than ever!
Like fine wine, Sarah.
Love her voice! takes me back....
Sarah is a massage for the soul ❤
She still sounds amazing and plays so delicately! How does this only have 162 views? 🤨
@Sara Ford 19K views is 19 Thousand not 19 million.
Still as beautiful as ever and sounding as good as ever. What a gift to the world 😊
I was surprised her voice has held up so well. She is aging very well, still gorgeous.
My gift is humility
Yah She's AWWWSEME and Yah her voice still remains Fresh and Strong..My fav. Tune from her🎶🎼🎵😁✌👍👌
This angel still sounds great after nearly 30 years. Perfection!!! Thank you love!!!
you make me proud to be my age and to know this kind of music. you opened my eyes to something I didn't see before. I almost can't believe it. There's something you have that I'm looking forward to once I learn the right lesson and maybe get a little older.
Beautiful voice always will be . I love her
2019- like yesterday- Thank You Sarah for sharing your gift! I hope to meet you one day- bucket list....

Pure talent and class !!
The most beautiful voice, period. And so deep... like an ocean. (What an amazing person)
This is one of those songs that just brings tears.
And we’ve got Miley Cyrus and Cardi B now. Sheesh. Talent like this should be the top of the radio chart.
everytime Sarah sings, i'm just stunned..
Tour De Force! Thank You, for Sharing all Your Amazing Songs!!
Talent personified, thy name is Sarah McLachlan...
Wow!!! That was amazing!!!
Best version I've seen so far.
You rule Sarah!
PS - About to do a re-watch of it.
If this is Sarah Mclachlan in 2019, she is an eternal beauty singing a song that is eternally beautiful.
Tom Sisson
@Tom Sisson don’t know about the eternal beauty part some of her videos during the pandemic she’s looked rough
Absolutely Beautiful performance.
How can someone be this good. Wow.
Dang! I'm in love. 💚
She’s gorgeous.
She is awesome even after 20+ years.
I’m bought this album when I was 15 or 16 and had no idea what the lyrics where even about. Let’s just say it’s hitting different now as the folks are saying these days.
I had no idea what the lyrics meant either. It was before I had the internet I think. Or even money to buy the cd. I looked them up recently and was suprised.
This is her masterpiece imo
****PERFECTION******
One woman one guitar... wow.
One of my GOATs
I 🥰her so much
Wow... that woman has skills
Sarah !
Great acoustic guitar song, performer, and songwriter...and performance.
It's just her and a guitar but the music is so vast and massive.
Thank you for music :)
Sublime

Truly amazing 😻 😍😍
Still looks incredible does, Sarah.
Très beau, et vous êtes aussi très belle !😍
oooohhhhhyes
Just great
I'd really like to know what is meant by "And a cross that died before Jesus came".
What does that mean? But her guitar playing and her vocals are awesome in this video. Very impressive.
Probably a Celtic cross or some kind of other pagan cross
Awesome !
Craciva,hermosa la música ,
will you do me a favor and come to topeka kansas we would love to see you in concert we love your music
The perfect pitch. Velvet voice.
Does anyone know what scustic guitar she is playing this song on ty
👍👍👍
Want to hear something strange? I have always loved Sarah McLachlan. Last night in bed, around 3am all of a sudden I heard "Building a Mystery" playing in my head. No radio on! I experienced what is know as a musical hallucination. It's not brain damage. It seems if the brain gets bored from not experiencing sound, it will produce music. Could be any genre. The entire song was played and then nothing. End of concert! Sometimes when it happened the song would repeat over and over. Very bizarre. Anyone have this phenomenon?
I have a stereo that plays in my head almost non stop. That’s why I am a musician. Got to get it out.
Proud to be the 14th commerter here.
🍏🍏🍏This song for me, About learning and way to GOD. An words from Bible first book. Making world inside, soul. Thank Yours song .
How difficult is it to clap after the final note? Cmon people!
❤❤❤❤. Gorgeous 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰 wild salmon 😋🤩😋
❤❤❤. Gorgeous 😍🥰😍🥰😍 wild salmon 😋🤤🤤🤤😋
Guitar sounds nice and bright, well defined. Vocal is great with presence, maybe just a touch too much verb.
What kind of change do you speak of?
Now this is what you call a real pure talent. No auto tune or over production. Just an acoustic guitar and an amazing voice with a brilliant original song.
And ear buds homie get it right
@@stevesherm260earbuds are for monitor purposes.
Generational talent. Prodigy. No shortcuts with her music.
A beauty even a blind man could see.
Yes....the pitch and enunciation....amazing LIVE performance
😭
I'll say.
It’s amazing how her voice hasn’t changed one bit. She truly takes care of that amazing instrument of hers! I remember listening to her when I was a kid and thinking “that’s what an angel must sound like”.
Fucking beautiful.
I've always thought the same thing
Brazuca lindona ama coisa boa.
@@a.c.t.1129 idem, sua linda!
I respectfully disagree! I think her voice mellowed has deepened a bit, and it's a pleasant development in the long history of a great singer!
seriously, i know she's been playing/singing this for a long time, but how is her guitar playing so perfect? i mean, everything is perfect, but like she strikes every note just perfectly. she's one of the all-time greats.
Just close your eyes and listen.....She is for sure one of the finest live music performer of all time. Honest.
She pulled out all the stops on her vocals! Truly incredible voice! Such a wondrous gift to be sure. And Indeed her guitar work is fantastic. I’d love to play a set with her
One of the most underrated artists of the 90s. Her and Seal.
Her music got me through two long months on a bone marrow transplant wing, not knowing if I was goi g to live or die. Loved her and her music since the mid 90’s
I can't compare your struggle with mine, but I was in a horrible car accident, the life-flight chopper came and got me off the side of the road. Sarah can be calming, soothing, and yet strong and to the point... love it
@@bruceradzwion6160 Bruce sell yourself short, it’s all relative . You too, almost died. Frightening I’m sure, to say the least. Glad your strength pulled you through!
@@sharonw9229 the Band Perry had just come out with "If I die young" song, the summer of my recovery in 2010. I hope your doing well on your road
I hope both of you are doing well. I was touched by your stories.
It doesn't get any better than that for a live performance; great musician and of course that VOICE!
