We’ve all been in the right place at the right time.
For me, one of those times was to be hosting and producing MuchWest in Vancouver when Sarah McLachlan moved from Halifax to Vancouver to begin what would become an amazing career.
Sarah ended up on the West Coast because in Halifax, her home, she had opened for a band from Nettwerk Records in Kitsilano.
They wanted to sign her immediately, but Sarah’s parents insisted she finish her schooling.
It felt like she came to Vancouver with songs already written and ready to go. It wasn’t long before Sarah released her debut album Touch.
That’s when I first met and interviewed her. The gift she gave the world were songs cutting deep into memory and self-awareness.
Since 1989, the gift she’s given me was to tell part of the story through our interviews.
That’s one of the reasons why I asked Sarah to come to Thailand and Cambodia with me in 1991 to tell the story of World Vision’s battle with the aids epidemic.
Sarah is on record as saying the journey changed her life. It helped her understand the power of giving back. It also leads directly to her involvement with the Sarah McLachlan School of Music.
Some of our interviews showed up in the Lilith Fair Documentary.
It’s been 11 years since Sarah recorded and released new music.
Her new album is called Better Broken.We’ll talk about a lot of things. Better Broken, Motherhood, today’s music world and her place in it, the legacy of Lilith, the Fumbling Towards Ecstasy 30th anniversary Tour and Canada – O Canada.
