Sarah McLachlan : Don’t Give Up on Us

On October 7, Canadian pop singer Sarah Mclachlan will release her upcoming greatest hits album “Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan,” which comes in both a single-disc version and a two-CD deluxe package. 2 new songs are included with this album : “U Want Me 2″ and “Don’t Give Up on Us”.

The truth and sad story is Sarah McLachlan is splitting from Ashwin Sood, her husband of 11 years, and is sharing her grief with fans in this two new songs.

“I’m separating from my husband, so these are the songs about that,” says the Lady.

McLachlan and her husband Ashwin Sood, who plays drums in her band, reside in Vancouver. They have two daughters, six-year-old Ann Sushil and Taja Summer, 14 months.

“I wasn’t planning on saying anything,” McLachlan added, “but it’s gonna come out at some point. I haven’t said anything about it because I’ve been terrified to, but I figure … there’s no good time to say it, so I just said it.”

McLachlan called the situation “pretty gross” but did not elaborate on reasons for the separation or the couple’s future plans.

She described “U Want Me 2″ as “about that really uncertain, confusing place at the end of a relationship when there’s no communication or closure, everything’s still up in the air and there’s a lot of anger and sadness. It’s sort of that working through ‘How do we move forward … with some dignity and grace.”

“Don’t Give Up,” she said, is “pretty self-explanatory, basically just a plea to give it another chance and keep trying.”

McLachlan wrote both songs with her longtime complice and producer Pierre Marchand. The video for “U Want Me 2″ was premiered last Wednesday on Amazon.com. (also online on our website)

McLachlan is planning a series of TV appearances to promote “Closer.” She said she’s also working on more new material and hopes to have a new album out within the next two years.

    je crois que je deviens accro à cette chanson, surtout sur la fin, la dernière partie après le pont! j’adore cette tonalité descendante, j’aurai presque envie que la chanson ne s’arrête jamais.
