Sarah McLachlan | Building a Mystery (live)

[@drvee1983]

I've never heard anyone comment on what a good guitarist she is, never mind her beautifully haunting voice and phrasing. Great songwriter, and beautiful woman. I'd love to see the rest of this performance, as it was obviously professionally filmed. A truly unique performer. Bravo.

[@artevizart2600]

Touché and the guitar part...

[@rudaje2000]

She's excellent.

[@thecircledk8597]

She's been playing guitar longer than piano and is classically trained on BOTH !!

[@brucewayne3602]

BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO & MORE !!!

[@destinationunderground6006]

YES!!! this song really is a musical masterpiece!!

[@JeffreyGershom]

After listening to her music for over 20 years, her voice is as beautiful now, as when she first started her music career. The most special thing for me is, her live performances seem so flawless. She truly has an exquisite singing voice. I can't wait for her new album! Thank you, Sarah for making my life more bearable:)

[@razorsharpe3371]

How can anyone not love this precious woman?

[@69horace69]

They most be jealous.

[@FaithNoMore223]

I might like her too much

[@steve83333]

Sarah is my all time favorite female musician, she's simply incredible.

[@cupcaakes]

Pure, raw talent! So proud she's a fellow Canadian! Now who's the idiot that disliked this beautiful video?

[@KenRuan]

TO ME this song symbolizes having empathy for someone you "hate" - realizing hating someone else is hating myself - love is the only truth ❤️

[@mongo88now88]

genius. real. I hope we remember Sarah in 100 years.Her voice is so 'careful'. she is such a terrific musician and songwriter, I cant imagine a future world where we neglect to put her name beside Bach, McCartney, Adamson. Sarah - you've enlivened us.

[@cbcmusic]

Just amazing... what else can be said? Transfixed by this performance. That Taylor guitar she's playing has the most beautiful tone of any six string I've heard so far.

Top female artist!

[@macvill1x]

Sarah has an incredible talent. She can really transmit musical emotion. I think her voice is gorgeous, and completing a complete artist, she is also very beautiful and sexy. I love her music.

[@geysergary]

Dear CBC: I want the audio on iTunes, please. I do not understand why I cannot purchase this.

[@UNC1336]

You can get the money, you can get the power, keep your eye on final hour

[@j_freed]

And I thought Ani DiFranco was effortlessly powerful by herself on a stage... wow!!

[@peterbaumgartner9280]

Hello! Does anybody know the tuning she uses for this song? I can't figure it out 100%... Thanks for the help! Peter

[@fromage7695]

Are you sure it's not just regular tuning with the capo?

[@1stackmack307]

Peter Baumgartner see the "jim meranus" instructional video on KZbin. Just type in "how to play building a mystery by sarah mclachlan"

[@geno8029]

EADGAD. Like the DADGAD tuning with low E left in standard tuning ;). Oh, and capo on 7th!

[@drvee1983]

Thank you for that.

[@hobbit5242]

Man!

[@FoodyTunes]

She was amazing when she made Five Days in July with Blue Rodeo

[@narutogborutog1814]

[@reticentearth2780]

The 2 thumbs down are 2 two losers who Sarah rejected muahjahaha

[@artevizart2600]

For realz, homes, these two losers are so worthless...

[@gogomosho]

can anyone look out the window without their shadow getting in the way.

[@artevizart2600]

Amazing line...

[@calihawk82]

it's "Asta wear" not "rasta wear"

[@oxforddictonary]

What is this song actually about ?? I've read the lyrics and I don't quite get it. Very poetic clearly, guess it's not my forte. You come out at night That's when the energy comes and the dark side's light And the vampires roam You strut your rasta wear And your suicide poem And a cross from a faith that died Before Jesus came You're building a mystery You live in a church Where you sleep with voodoo dolls And you won't give up the search For the ghosts in the halls You wear sandals in the snow And a smile that won't wash away Can you look out the window Without your shadow getting in the way? You're so beautiful With an edge and charm and Oh so careful When I'm in your arms Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on And holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully You woke up screaming aloud A prayer from your secret God But you feed off our fears And hold back your tears, oh You give us a tantrum And a know it all grin Just when we need one When the evening's thin You're so beautiful A beautiful-fucked-up man You're setting up your Razor-wire shrine 'Cause you're working Building a mystery Holding on And holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully Oohhoooeeewww Oehh you're working Building a mystery Holding on And holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully Yeah you're working Building a mystery Holding on And holding it in Yeah you're working Building a mystery And choosing so carefully You're building a mystery

[@FaithNoMore223]

"basically about the fact that we all... have insecurities to hide, and we often do that by putting on a facade." She also goes on to say that "unfortunately, if we just be who we are, that's usually the more attractive and beautiful thing"

[@vancexavier8339]

she yodels like Alanis Morisette

[@artevizart2600]

Not even close, the Yodelers are Alanis and Jewel...

[@hobbit5242]

...But I'm a little slow. Knights Templar, Jesuits or Freemasons?
