电影《City Of Angel》主题曲《Angel》,当时因为歌曲搭配着电影剧情造成全球轰动。这首Angel在台湾先后有林凡及李圣杰翻唱,而擅长翻唱的Westlife也翻唱Angel,足见Angel的经典程度。不过,最让人津津乐道的是,披头四大老Paul McCartney 99年曾因为现场聆听Sarah McLachlan演唱这首歌曲而泪流满面,原来当时他想起了已逝爱妻琳达,Sarah McLachlan的歌声给了他最多的感动。



Angel --by:Sarah McLachlan



Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day


I need some distraction 1 oh beautiful release
memory seeps 2 from my veins
let me be empty and weightless and maybe


I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an 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 3 sadness that brings me to my knees



in the arms of an 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


some comfort here


有西洋歌坛"知性女声掌门人"之称,以电影《City Of Angel》主题曲Angel成为轰动全球国民情歌的加拿大女歌手Sarah McLachlan总算推出让歌迷苦等六年的全新专辑《Afterglow》,这位行事风格低调的女歌手历经丧母和女儿的新生后重返歌坛,再度造成轰动,专辑在美国已近40万张销售空降排行亚军,缔造个人最佳销售纪录!而过去Sarah McLachlan的地位更因为一手创办空前的女性摇滚音乐演唱盛事--"莉莉丝音乐节",让众多歌手崇拜不已,其中近来唱片狂卖的蒂朵就是Sarah McLachlan头号歌迷,而擅长翻唱的Westlife也曾将Angel再度唱红,甚至披头四大老Paul McCartney几年前现场聆听Sarah McLachlan演唱Angel更因遥念爱妻而当场落泪,都让人津津乐道。《Afterglow》是目前市场和学术网络询问度最高的新片。
