Sarah McLachlan - Possession (Later... With Jools Holland, 12th Nov, 1994)

[@Rheinmeister09]

If ever someone’s music (particularly this song) deserved to be called hauntingly beautiful it’s Sarah’s.

[@HB-xf2xl]

She and Tori Amos were my saviors. From 14-24 years old, absolutely obsessed with both of their catalogs. I am nearly 50 now and I’ve aged with them and the community. I went to the Fumbling 30th anniversary tour in Austin. The year before, I saw Tori Amos at Red Rocks. Both shows were magical and humbling. So thankful for these gifts.

[@Laura-rp2ki]

Yessssssss❤❤❤❤

[@kellymelancon2516]

I saw her twice for fte30tour in Kansas City and again in Sugarland, TX. Hoping she would add a New Orleans stop as both concerts ended badly for me and my husband experiencing medical issues. Not sure if shes on TikTok but I have been circulating several performances to congratulate her on the Canadian hall of fame recent honor. Her gift is so special to me and we're on a first name basis even if she isnt aware😂❤

[@Laura-rp2ki]

@@HB-xf2xl I was just reading up on present day Tori and it seems that she has lost a lot of the power of her voice and it is hard for her to maintain a note for a long period of time as she used to do. I saw a clip from Red Rocks and I can hear that. Yes, she is 61 but from what I can tell, that isn’t the issue really. Looks and sounds like her vocal cords have been damaged. Reading up on her, it does seem to be the case. :( That makes me sad. I’m glad to hear the concert was good nonetheless. I saw her in Austin TX at a small outdoor venue in 2004. I feel very lucky.

[@HB-xf2xl]

@@Laura-rp2ki she definitely has some vocal chord damage, her voice has changed dramatically even since her 2017 tour. She hasn’t said anything about it publicly. She was still wonderful, though. And I saw that show in Austin (that’s where I live!) it was 2005 at the old backyard on beecaves! Katrina had just hit, I believe. She covered When the Levee Breaks. Great show!

[@davidscott129]

One woman with a piano holds an entire crowd spellbound as she bares her soul. This is beautiful.

[@dominicgibson9529]

One of the best, most unique and instantly recognizable voices ever❤

[@jhax01]

The 90s had such good music...what a great time to grow up.

[@the92project]

so freaking talented, a genius

[@counterweightshenanigans2808]

Incredible performance. Thank you.

[@evanpenn1]

I broke up with a long-term girlfriend back in 1999. I used to listen to the entire Fumbling album at least once a day for months after that. Sarah kept me company during those difficult days. Now, when I hear any song from that album, it really pulls on my heart. It's a strange feeling, but not a bad one.

[@theporkchopexpress3782]

It only takes a minute to see all the comments from all the different ethnicities to see how she touches the world with her beautiful voice and exquisite music! I will always be a fan!!

[@carterbeevo]

STILL crushin' on this beautifully talented soul

[@beakerstreet1090]

Wow!.....Always a great performance. I think her voice has improved in the 30+ years!

[@smokinwithskruggs]

My Dad turned me on to Sarah with the album. He loved her. I became an instant fan. I finally got to see her before Covid. Unfortunately my Dad had passed away before then but he was with me in Spirit. We had a Great time. Love you Sarah!!

[@andreapage5229]

My 'go to' song to belt out, "and I won't be denied". I feel so good after hearing a Sarah song. Her voice & lyrics ground me like no one else. Bless you, Sarah 🎵🌟🙏

[@AlexNiedt]

A rather creepy "I won't be denied" given it's coming from the POV of a stalker 😬

[@andreapage2367]

​@@AlexNiedtfair point. I wasn't meaning I liked the lyric from the viewpoint of a stalker. I love the passionate sound of Sarah's voice singing it simply as a powerful phrase.

[@AlexNiedt]

@@andreapage2367 Oh yeah, I totally get it 😉

[@ThomasJeffersonEdwardsIV]

Iv been in love with her since I was a teenager in the 90’s Still beautiful 😍

[@StephSancia]

You'd be a Dawson's Creek fan then ? I'm an older generation but absolutely love Sarah, her music AND Dawson's Creek :) have a great day

[@justineetzkorn9594]

I grew up with her music, got me through a lot. To me, she always seemed to be such a cool, sophisticated woman who knew everything. She's so young here! She was 24, almost twenty five. Watching her now feels so different.

[@thisintangibleexistence]

What a great performance and such a high quality resolution for the time!!!

[@leondeklerk7200]

Sarah's music is always a constant comfort throughout my life during the most heartbreaking times...her songs give me hope...forever grateful ❤ 🙏 I hope that she knows what a positive and supportive impact her music has for so many of us.

[@Justicefordadmom]

❤❤❤ THIS IS THE VOICE CHARACTER OF ANGELS 🌹🌹🌹

[@Caltor_Storm]

30 years ago my dad bought the FTE CD after seeing this episode of Jools Holland. I found the CD and listened to it almost constantly after that. I subsequently bought just about every CD she released and went to see her in concert at Cardiff in 2004. Amazing! Ironically I've never actually watched this until now 😂❤

[@jennifera5205]

I stole my dad's CD and wore it out! I had to go buy him another one! I saw her perform in St. Paul eons ago. I'd love to see her on this tour, but I can't.

[@paulelliott3220]

Magical in every note

[@michlnyc]

Love this song throughout the decades, she's so talented and what a voice!

[@officialMainspring]

Wow... just... Wow...❤

[@wp1115]

1995년 중학교 시절 이 음악을 한국에서 듣기 너무 어려워서 미국에 사는 형에게 부탁해서 cd 를 어렵게 구해서 들었던 기억이 납니다. 그 후로 많은 곡들이 힘든 인생에서 큰 위안이 됐습니다!

[@Quirky_QF]

Amazing then. Amazing now. Amazing forever.

[@annettesinclair5495]

Saw Sarah Mclaughlin in concert on her original Fumbling Towards Extasy tour when l was 18 in Calgary. I have a floor seat to see her in November. I am 51 now time flies but her music is timeless because its good.

[@Sandralaw1101]

Hi anne 💐

[@thedriszen8350]

I know Sarah is human, but to still have that voice... that feeling... that just grabs you and MAKES you feel life and love and vulnerability and desire... such a gift that I'm so very glad is still so sincere. Bliss...

[@ghostspectre1861]

I can't think of a more talented female artist to come out of Canada. One of the greatest.

[@robertb9789]

Joni

[@fgwilli76]

Definitely the top.

[@starryeyes2007]

I noticed just now something ive never seen on anybody singing ever in my life. Listen to her voice on the first few lyrics. How on earth does she sing in a high active low and then high without losing and the humming mid way it's her voice. I'm amazed. That is an Angel singing.

[@leightonolsson4846]

I never saw this at the time! Thanks for putting this up. It's so haunting. It's such a wonderful song. Such a dark genesis for the lyrics - must have been cathartic to write but brave to go into the mind of your own stalker. I only bought the Fumbling CD because I was intrigued by the cover; Sarah was scarcely on the radar here in Blighty until 'Surfacing' had been out for several months. Kinda felt like my own special secret for a while. It's one of those rare albums that hangs together so well from beginning to end, it seems to flow perfectly, A rare thing

[@Northseacrashes]

Such a perfect performance of one of my all time favourite songs. I can’t believe it was 30 years ago. I truly hope you can bring the Fumbling anniversary tour to the UK.

[@jimhendricks88]

Beautiful! This early Sarah McLachlan reminds me a little bit of Tori Amos.

[@SopranoSister]

Wow, this is the first time I've seen this performance! It's absolutely amazing, as is Sarah and her talent.

[@RockChick63174]

Oh, you need to see it live. There are several great live versions here.

[@SopranoSister]

@@RockChick63174 I have seen her live a few times - here she really puts a lot of emotion into this song.

[@markferguson6215]

So much passion coming through in that performance, a really great song writer and just love her music !!

[@blueboat9581]

When i wonder what an angel's voice sounds like, i think of her.

[@fgwilli76]

Right

[@stuartchasevideos]

A true measure of an incredible voice and incredible song. No full-band production required to make it a stunning performance.

[@slothlovechunk]

Still remember the first time I heard this hidden track on FTE, where I was, etc. Went to five Lilith fairs mostly because of this specific track/version.

[@dlee6266]

@slothlovechunk I know right? I was so happy when I found the hidden track at the end of the cd. I didn't even know it existed until I let the last track run til the end, lol!! That was sneaky of Sarah!! Haha! Aloha!!

[@idaleon736]

Sarah ...dearest Sarah !!! I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to wipe my tears, I just want to capture the passion that led you to write this song, to keep it as something very precious to me .... The world stopped when I heard you sing..... Your magic was impregnated forever...Always you❤ ...

[@FrankOswald-c6o]

This song just might be about you, you know.

[@idaleon736]

@@FrankOswald-c6o Happy Fall’s First Day !!! I love writing. This was my way to express how much I liked and enjoyed that Sarah’s song. Do not misunderstand please. My respects for Sarah are in the top level as a singer, as a humanitarian and for the whole thing she represents to me as a human being. I just connected with those lyrics like somehow I also would love writing them. 🍁🍁🍁

I think a lot of British fans came to learn of your wonderful music when it was heavily featured in the tv show Due South aired in the UK on the BBC. The channel later funding production of this series when it was dropped in America. Please come back to the UK soon 🙏

[@pauldoree3967]

I'll second the Uk visit request. It's been 20 years since I saw Sarah here at the Cambridge Corn Exchange.

[@Caltor_Storm]

Yes please come back to the UK! The Cardiff concert in 2004 was one of, if not the best I've ever been to. I'd only been married 2 weeks but my wife said I just sat mesmerised and never took my eyes off Sarah McLachlan the whole time 😂

[@leewileman89]

And I’ll third that request! Come to the UK Sarah. I remember this performance stopped all my flatmates dead in their tracks and we just sat and listened. Amazing, just breathless. ❤
