Beautiful apology song to her friend. She started dealing with her friend's ex boyfriend and then married him. Now, after years of marriage...divorce. It's something how things turn out in time. I fell in love with Sarah when I first heard this song. She sings so beautiful and graceful. Her entire 'Surfacing' C.D. is a timeless classic. No skipping between songs are necessary with this C.D.
peaz06: I agree with you... it talks about a friend who is apologizing with her best friend since she betrayed her, and she still loves her as a friend, but she can't stop what she's feeling... who would say that a song that stroke me the first time I heard in 1998 would hold true years ago...
I still have ticket stubs from seeing her live in Pittsburgh in 1994 was great hardly anyone was there the weather was crappy & rainy. The Devlins were the open act. I am thinking Aug 14 or 19th. It was the Iron City Tent next to the river by Station Square. Good times great show great city. I have seen her twice since then, but nothing is like the first time.......
@themack355 I understand, I know that,too when people think somebody wrote a song but they acutally just covered it I hate that :D but I just didn't know if this song was by Avril or by Sarah.. I'm sorry
just because she finds herself single its not right to assume its "his fault" or anyones for that matter. To love and be loved is a choice we all make each day. Most everyone who is alone dreams and desires to have their life partner. Some believe there is just one for each of us, a soulmate...but I happen to believe there are many possible combinations its all depending on ones life's time when you cross paths. You meet them yesterday and it will not work but if you meet them tomarrow....
@juLoe33 no offense to you, but it's that kind of ignorance that makes me really pissed off when people remake songs. It's a crime for Avryl to get credit for this song.
Jesus Christ... this is NOT AVRIL LAVIGNE'S bleedin' song! This is Sarah's original... no matter how many times Avril covers it, it won't make it hers. And, sure, you can argue with matters of taste, but i can guarantee that any respected critic would crown Sarah with singing this song far better than that girl. Her voice is just way more refined. I actually like Avril, but I wouldn't recommend she cover songs of this sort unless she's totally going to reinvent them stylistically.
Any one and everyone who doesn't like "this voice" has no idea what singing is. I listen to a very wide array of music, cradle of filth, nickle creek, evanescence, enya, eminem, red hot chilli peppers, blue october, nofx. Point is, you can like or dislike a genre or type of music... I hate most rap. But to any one who can say they dislike a voice that is as honed and angelic as Sarahs is about as musically challenged as disliking jimmy hendrix guitar playing or dave lombardos drumming. Idiots.
I'm so taken aback by this tune that all that's left for me to say is ABSOLUTELY BLOODY AWESOME.. PURELY MAGICAL!!!
I wonder what it must be like to be able to sing like that. SO captivating, angelic and simply beautiful.
Her voice is so amazing you can almost overlook what a great piano player she is... and what a great all-around performance this is. Wow.
This song is great for heart breaks, Thank you Sarah.
She always looks so pretty!!! Oh and that voice amazing!!🎵

She's got a really beautiful voice, but she plays very well the piano too !!!
like dougdrink said... an angel. There are few voices I can compare to this woman's. It just wouldn't be fair.. she is a Goddess of music.
SO TOUCHING...............
No words....amazing
Almost forgot how amazing this song is and Sarah is just perfect live!
'm sorry, but I just found out today, I heard and saw Sarah Mclachlan. I must say that the music and the girl - beautiful.
i love this, so much

@nrtate78 this was from a set of videos released online at the time 'Closer: the best of' came out (2008), it was never released in any of her albums.

All she needs is a piano! Beautiful!
@juLoe33 it is an original song by Sarah McLachlan herself... it's on her 1997 album "Surfacing"

Both Avril and sarah's version are very nice ! But the original version by sarah sounds with more soul
My name is a song but its still good
Yeah, you're musically cool that's for sure!
JAH LIVE.

@nerdy5746 calm down! :D

Wow she looks better than she did 14 years ago when the song 1st came out

AVRIL LAVIGNE'S VERSION IS AMAZING
Prefiro a AVRIL LAVIGNE cantando essa musica , =)
I like Avrils version more..(:
